I also recently quit a game, but I think mostly because I'm a little over 5e. Hoping that another group gets an OSE game up and running. We have created some PCs, hopefully will see some west marches action.
It's OSE and it is in Auckland, but if OSE in Auckland is a specific group then it is a different group of people. This is with a bunch of bar friends, DM loves the books and, having looked through them, I don't blame him.OSE in Auckland?

They apparently got sucked into the Astral Sea and that is why my character cannot return (a DM created scenario, I didn't do that).
After their game he informs me my character has now had his brain sucked out by an Intellect Devour and is inhabited by that (another DM created scenario).
The cool thing is, much of that osr material is probably able to be used with ose with just a few tweaks. Showed my friend ACKS, most of the classes in those books could easily be converted, we're also probably going to include BECMI and maybe some 2e stuff in the game to round out some of it.Main reason I haven't jumped is osr material on shelf unused since 2014.
Barely played 5E as a player on of mah players wants a shot at running.
No, he said I have hints and wasn't up front. But this was after he said I never mentioned anything and I told him I did, several times over the weeks.While I, a forever DM, think the DM was wrong and a DM should pretty much never hold a character hostage, I do think part of the issue was miscommunication.
You mentioned you gave hints, apparently the DM didn't understand them. Because it was clear to you, doesn't mean it was clear to the DM. The best approach is to be crystal clear as soon as possible.
Correct, and they have 3 attacks. So 4 of them should be good for a party of 4. But, that is 12 attacks a round vs 4 attacks a round.Just an FYI, that sounds like a typical CR 1/4 Troglodyte from the Monster Manual.
Absolutely!As a DM I wouldn't even bother with any explanation, here's your PC back, where was he, who cares, let's play.
