Message: <blockquote data-quote="OptionalRule" data-source="post: 9452779" data-attributes="member: 6680">I've been tinkering with some mounted combat rules for Shadowdark RPG, and I thought I'd share them with you all. I know Shadowdark is all about keeping things simple and flavourful, so I tried to stick to that vibe while adding a bit more depth to horseback adventures.I've put together a blog post that covers:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Basic mounted combat rules (spoiler: you get +1 to hit with melee weapons while mounted!)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Some cool charge mechanics for those of you who like to play jouster</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Rules for staying on your horse when things get dicey</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Stats for ponies, mules, and war horses (because who doesn't love a good war horse?)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A nifty table for determining your mount's coat color (for those all-important fashion choices)</li> </ul>Plus, there's some stuff about mount gear, costs, and how to handle your horse bolting when it gets spooked. You know, the important things in life!You can check it out here: <a href="https://www.optionalrule.com/2024/09/04/mounted-combat-in-shadowdark/" target="_blank">Mounted Combat in Shadowdark TTRPG</a>I'm working on expanding this into a larger supplement with foraging and camp rules too. So if you give it a read, I'd love to hear your thoughts! What works? What doesn't? What would you add?</blockquote>
