This is probably applicable to a bunch of threads, but I adapted the solo play rules from Issue 458 of White Dwarf and mixed them with Scarlet Heroes to make old school D&D statblocks out of the Nighthaunt. Behold: Old School Sigmar: Nighthaunt.

LatwPIAT posted:The decade-long period of rationing during and immediately after WWII killed British cuisine. Not only did the "institutional" knowledge of how to make certain things disappear with a near-decade of disuse, but entire cheese cultures died out completely and permanently because nobody could make that kind of cheese during rationing. I've read so much 2021 poo poo pumping through my loving veins lately that somehow THIS was the saddest thing I've read today. The fascist arc of history really does wipe out everything it touches, huh?

Or was that Robert Jordan? Pretty sure that's GRRM. Reminds me of the bit from MST3k Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders: "The man with the receding hairline puttered around the kitchen for a bit and got himself a cold drink."

Evil Mastermind posted:I know people were waiting for this: the Sentinel Comics RPG is finally up on DriveThru. I genuinely super like this game and where it falls on the narrative-to-cromch scale, you should check it out if you want a good Supers game that's decently mechanical but not bloated.

If anyone follows my stuff or Mork Borg stuff or even OSR stuff in general, my book of d8 Supernatural Hirelings, EVERY GOD WILL FALL, is shipping some physical copies Monday. 8 pages, full color, totally gameable (or so I've been told). Get yourself a copy! (Also include your address in the paypal in case that's not obvious) https://twitter.com/TheEldritchTomb/status/1389846977303752704?s=20

I ran some regular adventurers through A Wizard and a couple of them died, but they figured out very quickly it was a horror adventure and not a traditional dungeon crawl, and ultimately they triumphed over the evil bastard. Being mad that it's lethal is like being mad that a Call of Cthulhu monster kills investigators. I ran some Godbound through A Wizard and they shredded it. It was very satisfying.

lmao @ "if you run the interesting, flavorful adventure in an interesting, flavorful way rather than just copying old Gary Gygax GM advice columns, you might as well play something that isn't the interesting, flavorful adventure. you RUBE. you absolute MORON."

hyphz posted:That is decidedly bad writing, though. On a read-through, I had assumed that character did instantly die if they were left alone in a room with the wizard (although the wizard is not automatically present if a PC is left alone), but not that they were instantly killed by killing a wizardling (although the argument that "..the wizard will kill them" is not a statement of future intent since he was always planning to do that anyway is understandable). Nobody is forcing anybody to run A Wizard, much less run A Wizard the specific way that the book (allegedly) demands. If you don't like it and your brain can't find a workaround for the parts you don't like, run something you do like instead. Nobody "ran it wrong" because they didn't get married to the rules as written.

hyphz posted:Fair point, but the author's responsibility for the playability of what they have written is non-zero. It's also worth bearing in mind that a big positive factor of Tomb of Horrors was the shared experience. I mean I'll have it both ways, in that I think most people are arguing that A Wizard is both well-written and playable, and that Tomb of Horrors is also that because it's specifically intended to be like it is and is a massive departure from almost every other scenario written at that time, much like A Wizard is. For all that gets touted about the ubiquity of nega-dungeons, it seems mostly that LotFP makes them. Hell, A Wizard AND Tomb of Horrors probably aren't nega-dungeons, there's a way to win them and more ways around them than simply "show up, get hosed up by the """"plot""", then die, probably having made the world worse".

Yesterday I want live with EVERY GOD WILL FALL: The Sticker Set! I've got eight sticker designs based on the zany li'l boys from my book EVERY GOD WILL FALL for Mork Borg. EVERY GOD WILL FALL is a d8 "table" of eight supernatural hirelings with pretensions, delusions, destinies, or mistaken identities of godhood. They're good for pretty much any OSR game where you can befriend weird little dudes! You can also get the book for just $2.00 in PDF by clicking here for a special DriveThruRPG discount. Huzzah!

I was put off by the KS and how soon it went on sale after release but the reviews on DriveThruRPG seem to be pretty good Oh I was riffing on the TYOV book that was all blanked out lmao I'd honestly use the old The Laundry CoC-based RPG for SCP. Doing paperwork for the time you nearly got your head twisted off by a malevolent statue of a baby seems perfectly in tone, although SCP has so many monkeys at typewriters if it has a tone to consider, it's "yes".

Rolling into the holidays a little slimmer than I'd like to be, wallet-wise, so I've got a Sale and a Reverse Sale running to get me some Christmas presents of my own: If you're a big MORK BORG fan, you can't go wrong with the Beer Money Borg Bundle on DriveThruRPG, containing everything I've done for Mork Borg so far at a convenient $7.77 price point. This is the fast and cheap option and likely to get me some brewskis so I can prevent myself from throttling my uncle who only leaves his den for the holidays and spends the rest of his time playing video games and being rude to his wife. If you want to feed my very expensive and foolhardy consumerist lifestyle, I'm running the I Need $150 More To Buy The Three Newest Age Of Sigmar Battletomes Reverse Sale, formerly the Formerly the I Need $125 To Buy The Three Newest Age Of Sigmar Soulbound Books Reverse Sale, I reached that goal and am exceedingly bad at math so don't look too deeply into the name, okay! Everything I sell is now 50% more expensive on Itch.io, or you can get it all for the opposite of a bargain but cheaper than buying individually for $100. This will give me books to curate delicious lore and make my Soulbound table yet more enthused with the ways of their tumultuous lives. If you can help make my Christmas a merry one filled with consumption both Capitalist and Alcoholic (and possibly Old Timey Prospector if I drink way too much), I'd super appreciate it. Otherwise happy assorted holidays and do something nice for someone, okay???  Skeleton drinking beer included for my gratification and your attention. sasha_d3ath fucked around with this message at 13:50 on Dec 22, 2021 |
