    OSR New edition of OSE in 2026 (updated with some links)

    Ditto that. Recently I phoned a number of LGSs in my Canadian city and they all said there's zero chance of bringing in Necrotic Gnome books due to no distributor. I just started an OSE campaign IRL around a table without a players tome. None of my players have tablets. Not that the rules have...

    Battletech RPG

    My goal is to eventually enhance my extension, so that it looks like this: That way, the TN will be an auto-calculation of the SATOR modifiers. Players will be able to input their own values in the SATOR boxes, and the GM will have a lock on the TN roller so they can check numbers before the...

    Battletech RPG

    Well...Mongoose Traveller 2 did actually move to TNs and a difficulty ladder for skills that uses them. As well, Stellegama Publishing's Cepheus Deluxe diverges from the core CE SRD, by using a similar skill ladder with TN's. For the Fantasy Ground VTT and Cepheus Engine ruleset, I have this...

    VTT Mapping

    I consider myself above a CC3 novice, but that's mostly due to using the FastCAD app it's built upon for light mapping duties when I briefly worked in the GIS biz. I liked it so much that I bought my own licence, which was no small change as it cost about $700 in early 1990s dollars. I made my $...

    VTT Mapping

    I own Foundry and Fantasy Grounds, was a previous subscriber to roll20 and have used 3 other VTTs. I personally don't care for the mapping tools in any of the VTT's I've used. I find all of them lacking - missing features or being too difficult to use for the results they give. I'm a long term...

    Battletech RPG

    I have the 2d6 rules for Foundry as well. Mongoose never actually did CE - they just made their Traveller 1e rules avalable as an open license SRD that anyone could publish content for. That allowed Stellegama, Zozer and Moon Toad Publishig, among others, to publish and sell better presented and...

    Battletech RPG

    I own MW2, 3 and ATOW and have run MW2 and ATOW campaigns. I've had much better results GMing the BT verse using Cepheus Engine (open license version of Mongoose Traveller 1) along with CGLs Alpha Strike tabletop miniatures rules for Mech encounters. It wasn't my idea - about 5 years ago one of...

    OSR New edition of OSE in 2026 (updated with some links)

    Good point. IIRC there's only goblins and halflings with HD 1-1 in Adv Ref Tome. I don't recall any in the ToEH which shouldn't surprise, as a good number of its HD 1/2 monsters are more of a challenge than the Ref Tome's HD 1.

    OSR New edition of OSE in 2026 (updated with some links)

    Hey Nikosandros, I'm wondering how this implemented in the update rules: "Fighter combat dominance: multiple attacks versus creatures under 1 HD." There's only about 2 handfuls of HD 1/2 monsters in the OSE Advanced Referees Tome. However, there's far more in the Tome of Essential Horrors. All...

    Oh yeah. I commented on it earlier in the thread and I really only know it from AD&D1e, but yes the Giant Slayer feature was a very good boon for the Ranger.

    [Old school] I can't deal with inventory

    It's in the AD&D1e Player's Handbook page 35. And there's this for the Slow Poison spell on page 46: "The material components of this spell are the cleric's holy/unholy symbol and a bud of garlic which must be crushed and smeared on the victim's bare feet." So, oo-oo-ooh garlic foot spread. :p
