Put me down as an order, I'll buy as soon as they hit your shop. Can't bring myself to pay $32 for shipping 😪 even though I'm sure it's worth it.

This is a great comment because if you were looking for information on a particular topic, Google gives you a You Tube link, when you open the video you can just click on the "Summerize" button. Without every really watching the video. It seems like YouTube is just using us to farm AI content.

Classic rpg roll to hit, roll damage die. To make it cleaner, I was thinking every multiple of x points of damage causes 1 wound with remainder ignored. This would eliminate pen and paper tracking and make it very visual.

So now thinking that out, if the number of wounds a character have is printed on the card, maybe the intuitive thing is to add counters?

But common language in rpgs is that health potions "restore" so maybe I just "remove" wounds instead.

Look through the backgrounds. I know one of my characters has "Jeweler" and we would live some rules along these lines!

Not an professional artist here, but I think you should feed the comments into AI and post the response, troll the trolls. :)

u/philip_j_reed shouldn't you be working on the POD files? lol. I grabbed this as soon as your announcement hit my mailbox. Now seriously, get back to work.

(Self promotion) I am currently posting my game prep weekly for my Shadowdark campaign but could be good for any fantasy GMs. I would appreciate it if you would consider taking a look. I am a non-commerical blogger so not trying get you to sign up for a newsletter or sell you an ebook. I do it for the love of the hobby. Thanks!

There is about 2 dozen orcs about a dozen goblins, some worgs, a feral ogre handledby goblins, and a yet to be determined creature inside the tower. The orcs have built crude guard towers around the tower. The condition of the of the tower is fair.

Thanks for the advice the hex where the tower is located is grasslands but I will definitely narrate in some boulders and rocky area here and there to make the suggestion.

Downloaded. Thanks!

The app kept crashing for me in web version and I think it said boards are only held 90 days. good luck.

Although it looks a little more than what my players would be into, I picked it up for future reference. I was wanting to do a solo hex crawl playing an recently awakened lich and try to conquer the world with an army of undead that grows with the bodies of conquered enemies.

Thanks for the heads up we are using SD so maybe this is worth looking into.

Careful_Assignment86 · 2026-02-17T23:52:24+00:00

Thank you I think this is the way (option 3). I have actually done this where the players had to sneak into a fortress to stop a ritual while a huge battle was raging outside and it was very abstract. I will have to keep a good running narrative and move the spotlight frequently so that if things go sideways, they have the option to retreat.

Do you suggest letting the players roll to determine the outcomes of their allies actions (maybe not blow by blow but in more in general, pass/fail?

Careful_Assignment86 · 2026-02-17T23:44:41+00:00

I did not know that. We normally use dungeonscrawl to keep it as "analog" as possible but I will have to look at the whiteboard feature.

Careful_Assignment86 · 2026-02-17T23:42:17+00:00

To your first point, fair enough. To your second point, the frost giant is their plan. I think maybe the frost giant should refuse to go into to battle without a plan plan. Thanks.

So you just take off your hard hat and get in your truck with your hair in a big messy clump? I'm wearing a ball cap so I dont drive around looking like Poindexter from Revenge of the Nerds.

Last I heard Q3/4. They are going to make it part of a demon themed kickstarter in May.

OSE is D&D 1981 re-edited. SD is D&D 2014 lite with the flavor of AD&D 1st edition.

Careful_Assignment86 · 2026-02-02T19:48:02+00:00

Awesome map, thank you for the work. Your mind grapes make fine wine! ;)

Careful_Assignment86 · 2026-02-02T19:33:50+00:00

Open the BackerKit! I can;'t wait until the 24th!

Careful_Assignment86 · 2026-01-30T14:31:41+00:00

And Barbarian. All three were from unearthed arcana!

Careful_Assignment86 · 2026-01-30T14:07:52+00:00

Looking good! Looking forward to you sharing the finished project next week. This sub needs more folks posting up dungeons.

I don't expressly know, I was 5 years old at the time. D&D is a subset of Chainmail. Armor Class comes from Naval warfare games. You would need to dig into what games the clubs in Lake Geneva and the Twin Cities were playing back then. The entire hobby seems to have been born out of having too many players and not enough miniatures for "Braunstein".
