I wonder how many like me were introduced to him thanks to DCC needing funny dice... Anyway, terrible news. Liked watching his energetic dice videos on YouTube. I have three full sets of his dice myself. Thought they felt great, but tired of constantly marking the numbers for visibility.

I have to say, looking at OSRIC 3.0 and Dragonslayer side by side has made me appreciate this rule set all the more. Not a fan of percentile strength, weapon nonspecializing, and overly complex spell descriptions to just name a few. Not sure why both dislike Bards though, they're one of my...

Me too. Has a very otherworldly fairy tale quality to it.

Thanks so much for sharing. Reminded me to download the latest copy and give it more of a look through. Too bad, it seems OSRIC 3.0 is too far removed from the original to be an actual reference for me and not changed enough to entice me to drop my current OSR systems (percentile strength...

My thoughts exactly. Perfectly said. Clever comparing it with Earthdawn too. When it came out I was just out of high school playing D&D daily completely invested in the Forgotten Realms setting. Didn't think for a second I was going to care about the setting, but bought it for material to...

The mechanics look interesting, but the CalArts style just isn't my thing at all. I just picked up NImble and DrawSteel, so if either doesn't wow me I might give this a shot later on.

I think that was Myth II: Soulblighter!

Yes! Sounds like just a page or two of house rules, but would be great if it was more. Look forward to see what they've come up with. Considering how long some of them have been playing in this setting, I can't think of another group more qualified to tune this engine into shape.

Been low-carb for a few months now, so haven't been cooking normally exactly, but I did want to share a couple of my favorite recipes to make: Creamy Restaurant Ranch 1/2 Cup Heavy Mayo 1/2 Cup Sour Cream 1/2 Cup Buttermilk 1 Pkg. Restaurant Style Hidden Valley Ranch Powder (4 tsp.)...

I think this is more of a comparison of lethality between 0D&D/AD&D and current 5e. Pretty popular opinion among grogs that 5e is "too easy" and "full of super-heroes" (mostly past level 4 ), so makes sense to house rule a few things to alleviate that.

Start with Sprawlrunners and Interface Zero! I think that will give you an awesome foundation to build on.

@Retreater As with any RPG, note the oddities in play you didn't like and begin to slowly house rule solutions. For instance, non-important monsters don't get Shaken - they just die. Or if you don't want to go that far, non-important monsters can only be Shaken once; if they recover, the next...

I think you're misunderstanding. There's a cartoon called Hazbin Hotel with a fascist villain named Vox Dei. I was wondering if this villain was based on the author Vox Day. Since "Vox Dei" is a popular latin phrase, it might just be a coincidence.

I always wondered how SW PF would run. I had a lot of fun with Hellfrost and Tyrnador, so I know it can do fantasy. I think it was just the high cost of entry and already owning/playing PF already.

Since you brought up his name though... I don't know very much about Day (other than what people have posted here) or Hazbin Hotel, but what are the chances of Vox Dei being a parody? Oops, seeing it's a popular Latin phrase, so probably coincidence...

For what it's worth, I think engagement driving visibility works in everyone's favor. Anyone wanting to learn more about this game will probably find this thread (thanks to being a top Google result), guaranteeing they see the criticisms against the author. I think that's more of a net positive...

I think you have your creators mixed up. This is Greg Gillespie.

I think it might seem that way just because they get the most attention. For instance, games like Fever Knights, Dante's Inferno, or Quest for the Lost Pixel that I post about just kind of pass by without notice. As a more popular counterpoint though, I was one of the first here to gush over...

In the same boat. Shadowdark is just so easy to get to the table and play it wins out more than most.

It really is the opposite. As long as it's a good game/movie/novel/song/etc., I don't care about the creator's beliefs. I feel like most people can understand just because someone talks about a Prince album here doesn't mean they support his publicly, anti-progressive stances. Same goes with...
