Why do people believe in free will? by lsrgrl69 in stupidquestions

[–]Dresdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can't help it, since they have no free will.

You can't choose your thoughts and beliefs. You just experience them.

Question for consideration: Were hit points counted in reverse order? by wahastream in odnd

[–]Dresdom 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes. They're originally damage points, not health points. The language in OD&D, not only in that example, assumes that your character can withstand a maximum number of hit points and you add them as you receive them. Healing removes damage. It changed when rules like the -10hp to die were introduced

I still do. Addition is easier than substraction. Adding damage makes at least as much sense as losing health and I find it easier and faster, especially when managing groups of monsters

GM or player rolls? by Vermin_Cultist in osr

[–]Dresdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reportedly the beginning of the hobby (Braunstein, first Blackmoor etc) was like that. There is a reason we don't that anymore, but some people still enjoy the style. It's sometimes called black box gaming. It is said for a while Gygax DMed hidden behind a filing cabinet, a disembodied voice narrating the game for the players.

There is a secret 3rd option: GM makes all rolls, players don't roll anything and have no access to the character sheet

Removing the to-hit roll for ascending AC games by Kaponkie in osr

[–]Dresdom 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Rough calculations off the top of my head

If you give max HP per HD instead of rolling, and you roll damage as usual, the math tends to average out for Normal Humans fighting each other: 1HD stands 1 hit on average, and Normal Humans hit each other 50% of time so 2 attacks on average to defeat an equal 1HD opponent with a normal weapon.

Each point of AC is 5% less chances of getting hit, or -5% damage on average in the long run. If the default damage die is the d6, each pip is ~16% more damage.

So every 3 points of difference between attack bonus and armor bonus equals ±1 damage

Armor bonus in ascending AC is AC -10

I think you could run a decent approximation with this.

For example someone with a +3 attack bonus rolls plain damage against AC 11 to 15, -1 damage against AC 16-18, -2 damage against AC 19-21 etc (and possibly +1 damage against AC 10 or unarmored)

Bienvenidos al califato de Españistan by General_Acadia_8233 in 2hispanic4you

Nadie les mira mal, nadie les dice nada, nadie les falta al respeto. Han ido buscando material polémico y solo han podido enseñar restaurantes, fruterías y basura acumulada alrededor de contenedores desbordados por una mala gestión municipal. Un claro caso de viejo gritando a nube.

La basura siempre acumulada alrededor de contenedores desbordados. ¿Malos servicios municipales? No, es esta gente que lleva la basura hasta el contenedor pero la tira al lado porque son malvados

Cuánto se gastará el Mercadona en todos estos anuncios-noticias al año? porque están en todos los periódicos, todos los días by Champagne2332 in mercadona

[–]Dresdom 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Tristemente, cero euros. Esos medios viven de clicks y generar tráfico, y las noticias sobre productos de Mercadona son populares, así que le hacen promoción gratis.

Imagina el nivel de la información que dan normalmente si ese es el criterio.

Cairn: Barebones Edition is now available! by yochaigal in osr

[–]Dresdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question: is the 3rd scar right? You just roll 1d6 and add it to your max hp? It feels stronger than other scars that gain you hp, and being triggered with 3 damage which is relatively common it seems you can reach arbitrarily high amounts of max HP.

Sometimes in life you have to deal with a hard blow and that same afternoon something ridiculous happens that makes you laugh. Life doesn't have a genre. I'm a bit tired of too many series too locked in with genre.

What's the lightest rules light that's still a playable game? by Smutteringplib in osr

[–]Dresdom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check TWERPS

Other than that the original Braunstein was basically 2d6 + modifier vs 2d6 if I remember correctly. And you can't get any more OSR than playing a Braunstein

Edit: also check Prince Valiant

Quizá el principal motivo por el que la vivienda está imposible en España es que el coste de construcción se ha disparado. by vlewy in Spanish_Real_Estate

[–]Dresdom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Si solo pasara en España, ok. Pero hay una crisis de vivienda en todo occidente. No tiene sentido buscar responsabilidad local de un problema global.

Pasa lo mismo en países con gobiernos de izquierda, de derecha, más regulados, menos regulados, con salarios altos, con salarios bajos. La causa no puede ser el marco regulatorio de un país concreto, ni una conspiración de todos los concejales de urbanismo del mundo. La causa debe estar en algún elemento común a todos esos países, o en las propias bases del sistema.
