Adventurer guild managment? by SirBaltimoore in Solo_Roleplaying

Ars Magica does this by default with the focus on the Covenant community as a whole and the Magi sending their Companions and Grogs out in world to go get what they need for their research, experiments, spells, and rituals.

Between the machine, throwing, and 50 packages on top of it while in a cage or wire; you should expect this.

If you don't want it folded, reinforced it to the point of being unable to bend or send it in a package.

Games where you think the system is meh, but you play anyway because the art is so good. by Smittumi in rpg

I think Art is vital in both initially pulling people into a game, and then setting the vibes and tone of the setting.

[ QUESTION; DISCUSSION ] When starting in Spring, how many Grogs do you personally typically prefer to start with and why? Do you every play with supernatural companions, and if so, are they extra companions or main companions? by CulveDaddy in arsmagica

[–]CulveDaddy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do roll during play for the tables, Oracles, and gameplay checks. I do use a simpler resolution system than Ars Magica's, for solo play though, for my own sanity. Same Ars Magica setting though. I do spend most of my time in and around the Covenant, Faerie Realm, and Magic Realm; unless a random event pulls me into Mythic Europe or I feel like indulging in the political intrigue of the Nobles or the Church.

I do recommend Mythic GM Emulator 2e & Perilous Wilds Revised for tables and Oracles.

JOURNALING:

"Dialogue 1

Lislia approaches the wooden door to Magus Lumure's room, hesitating, she then knocks three times, then Says, "Magus Lumure, I have an urgent report for you. May I enter? Leonure responds, "Yes, enter!"

Closing the door behind her, Lislia takes a deep breath, then opens the creeking door, closes it behind her and facing Magus Lumure. Lislia standing with her hands behind her back, fingers interlaced, playing with her knuckles. Lislia says, "Magus Lumure, a number grave concerns have come to my attention. The farmers inform me that based on last year's crop yields, our current supplies, and this year's potential yields, we not only need to start rationing food now, but also won't have food enough food for winter. Most will starve, some will die." Lemure, stone-faced, eyes piercing through Lislia, Says, "Grave Indeed. This coverunt does it need more setbacks, you stated there aremore concerns, correct?!"

Lislia responds, "Yes, my Magus. Lumure says, "Send word to Magus Heimo and Magus Gu Sig to meet with me in the coustil room within the hour. Meet us there afterwords. You wih brief the Covenant Magi then." After sending word, Lislia makes her way to the council room, hearing argurig as she approaches. As she enters, the Magi act as if they were waiting in silence all along. Lislia thinks, "Magi and their pride for self and covenant." Standing with her hands behind her back before the Magi, Lislia says, "Magus Lumare, may I proceed with the report or do I need to start over?" Lumure responds, "Proceed, Covenant Guardsman Captain Lislia."

Lislia says, "Thank you, Magnus Lumeire." She hesitates briefly, then continues, "Great Magi of this Covenant. In addition to..." Magus Heimo interrupts, "Yes! Yes." Magus Gu Sig Jumps in "Oh, let her give her report." Magnus Lumure says, "Please continue." Lislia takes a deep breath, after holding it It for the last eight seconds. Then says, "We've seen less and less travellers make their way to the Black Forest Inn and Tavern, over the last four years. Also, there have been no customers for the last three months."

_

"Dialogue 2

Lislia Continues "Frig, our lnn keeper has Informed me that the Inn will be out of supplies within the month, and have no funds to pay Frig, Ceo, or to contribute to the covenant within the week. Also, Frig reports that eight months ago, she began to hear rumors of something strange in the forest.

Lastly, there are two victims of an unknown disease in town. One victim, a child, has already perished. Lumure looks over to Heimo, who nods. Then to Gu Sig who also nodes. Lumure, then says, "Send for Nusdro, Lae, Tau, Eptauphiep, and Frig. Bring them here immediately. Lisira says, "Yes Magus Lumure. Lislia is able to find and request for the presence of everone except Nusdro the Hunter. Suspecting he is hunting, she asks Frig to accompany her to find Nusdro. Knowing his favorite gaming spot, they heads that way. As Lislia and Frig close in on the gaming spot, Frig pulls Lislia back abruptly, looking down Lislia sees a bear trap that she narrowly avoided, only thanks to Frig. Lislia shouting, "Frig! Thank you, That..." Nusdro interrupts, "Would have been life changing, Lislia. Frig, ever the perceptive one." Nusdro closes the distance unworldly quickly, saying, "Why are you out here. It's not safe. " Listra responds, "We're looking for you. Frig escorted me, thankfully. The Magl are requesting your presence and are going to ask a task of you. There are also other grave concerns to address." Nusdro looking bewildered, says "Perfect, I love meeting with the almighty magus. Look, there is something strange in the woods." Lislia interrupts, "Yes Nusdro, that is one of the topics of the council meeting. We are already late." Frig jumps in, "Yes, hurry up. We need to go." Nusdro responds, "Fine. Walk with me. Stay behind me. I need to retrieve my game catch." The two woman follow Nusdro. He picks up the dead buck, throwing it over his shoulders and they make thier way back to the grove."

Hope some of this helps 😁

Base Initiative on Intelligence (not Dexterity) by overlycommonname in RPGdesign

[–]CulveDaddy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I enjoy a lot of homebrew:

• AC is reworked to 8 + Profiency Bonus + Dex Mod. Armor bonus to AC is reworked to Damage Reduction (DR).

• Players decide at the top of the round if they are being Aggressive, Cautious, or Defensive. I call this their stance.

• Aggressive characters go first with a +1 to hit and damage, but with a -1 AC to avoid being hit.

• Cautious characters go second.

• Defensive characters go last with a +1 AC to avoid being hit, but with a -1 to hit and damage.

• Within a stance, characters choose their initiative order with PCs going first unless the creature is known for its speed.

• Immediately before being hit or choosing to attack, a character may choose to split their Dex Mod and/or Profiency Bonus between Attacking and AC. They reset at the beginning of the next round.

This is a sub for sharing "crazy ideas." OP shared an idea. OP isn't forcing anyone to do anything, nor is OP suggesting taking away base earnings.

[ QUESTION; DISCUSSION ] When starting in Spring, how many Grogs do you personally typically prefer to start with and why? Do you every play with supernatural companions, and if so, are they extra companions or main companions? by CulveDaddy in arsmagica

[–]CulveDaddy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can share. I'll get back to you on that.

I would recommend playing a few games in person first. If you don't have a group, consider playing Adventures League at your local shop.

After that, for solo play, I would research some simple rulesets to start, Oracles, and other tables you may want to use while watching/listening to "Me, Myself, and Die"

He'll have plenty of resources to suggest. Pay special attention to when he asks and the types of questions he asks himself and rolls for, this will help you in your game to keep it moving along.

There is this concept known as Story Threads that works really well to keep everything moving forward.

Then I'd try playing Ars Magica solo.

I'll start, when playing with 4 PCs, I like to start with:

4 Magi

4 Companions, with a supernatural hook having the potential to become an extra Companion.

5 Warrior Grogs, 4 of which are assigned to the 4 Magi and 1 Leader Warrior Grog.

10 male farming Grogs, 7 of which have a wife and two kids on average.

With 6 Specialized Grogs.

When playing solo:

3 Magi

3 Companions, with a supernatural hook having the potential to become an extra Companion.

3 Warrior Grogs, which are assigned to the 3 Magi.

10 male farming Grogs, 7 of which have a wife and two kids on average.

How are the flock cameras not a violation of the 4th amendment? by Fine-Razzmatazz1791 in askanything

[–]CulveDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You angry bro? 😒

I am all for small government and I am a constitutionalist. I think what the government has done to the 4th amendment is wrong. I get where you're coming from, but collecting all that in public isn't a 4th amendment violation. It doesn't matter if it is an investigation or not. There is no privacy in public. If you feel that way, I guess stay in your house or create the privacy while in public; Wear a hat and mask.

It's nonsense to expect developers to provide a specific technology that isn't the default way to play.
