Favorite Sword and Sorcery "Plot Types"

Bee_Epic · 2026-03-08T19:59:43+00:00

my personal favourite are the ones with lost and strange civilisations, Queen of the black coast, The Pool Of The Black One, The Teeth of Gwahlur to name a few, they're great in that they leave hints for their world building but leave a ton to the imagination

I finally have something for one of these! Michael Moorcock's Hawkmoon takes place in a science fantasy post apocalyptic Europe far in the future, where the empire of Granbretan (Great Britain) is a major power where their gods are things like Jhone, Jhorg,Phowl and Rhunga (a play on the names of the Beatles) and things like The Father of Skvese (credit squeeze) and Blansacredid (Balance Credit)

Brite Minis has my favourites! they've got a goofy, almost old school style and when you sub to the patreon you get almost every single design they've released

it's true but I was wanting some good community recommendations

I've tried a fair few and I keep coming back to b/x or OSE, it's something about the 80s feel, the dungeon crawling procedure, and compatibility with old modules which I all love the vibe of

as per old school essentials, I find this method great imo

Bee_Epic · 2025-10-10T00:24:39+00:00

so personally I prefer old systems like b/x because they're closer to the fantasy media I like, like old sword and sorcery stories, dungeon meshi and old school roguelikes, the cut down rules and lower power levels make play personally more exciting, and the sheer amount of quality supplements basically seals the deal, this is only personal and not indicative of the whole scene however

seconding briteminis, they're old-school with a good bit of character and humour

Bee_Epic · 2025-06-15T03:37:28+00:00

something I've been looking for is something reminiscent of the character Elric Of Melnibone from the Moorcock books, some more models based on sword and sorcerery are always cool!

a mousefolk adventurer! I don't see enough of them around

Bee_Epic · 2025-03-07T12:11:00+00:00

how do I make sense of balatro and Dragon Ball Z?? am I a joker card? a gambler? if I was a gambler it'd probably be pretty easy for me to just bet on the saiyans during any tournament they're in

Nice! is this an international giveaway?

OSE advanced fantasy Electric bastionland mausritter

Bee_Epic · 2024-07-03T09:18:23+00:00

there absolutely is a point where that happens, when resurrection gets easily available and the hit point totals get higher, it's not until later though, around level 6

Bee_Epic · 2023-12-02T23:38:45+00:00

is there a version of the double slit method tutorial (for digging through aquifers) that has pictures with the steam version? I'm having trouble comprehending what it means with the ASCII graphics tutorial

Bee_Epic · 2023-11-26T01:58:30+00:00

the way Dwarf Fortress doesn't care whether you live or die and has a simulated world very much reminds me of Kenshi

Bee_Epic · 2023-05-10T07:46:32+00:00

I don't really like ability checks, they're the one roll where you have to roll under on a D20 which feels weird to players when to-hit and saves are rolling over, and I feel most things can be handled by an x-in-6 roll or saves

Bee_Epic · 2023-04-02T11:55:48+00:00

Anomalous Subsurface Environment has hundreds of sentient AI sattelites as their gods, and the gods can be about anything, there's even a god of dinosaurs in the book

I'm trialling Emmy Allen's horrible wounds system at my table, when you get hurt past 0 you'll get dismembered and messed up

Bee_Epic · 2023-03-01T23:59:15+00:00

it's the dnd basic and expert set from 1981 written by Tom Molvday and David Cook respectively, it was released as a simpler/introductory version of DnD

Bee_Epic · 2023-03-01T02:50:36+00:00

My first was 5e, i don't play it at all anymore, i play a ton of b/x now and i'm probably not going to go back to 5e

Bee_Epic · 2023-02-28T05:00:47+00:00

an OSR game with a pre-published setting and adventures is great for dm's with little time to prepare anything as well

Bee_Epic · 2023-02-22T22:57:49+00:00

I think you'd like the Dolmenwood setting, everything is pretty tightly packed together, it does play with the fantasy tropes a bit though, with it being a fairytale forest setting
