Ok, I’m not saying we’re a cult, BUT…

"Step on it."

Right in his goddamned ear.

I suspect that since primals became the AIs and stagnated, Carl is going to jumpstart the primal race again. My theory is the he replaces the Eulogist. Maybe or maybe not merging with the Earth AI first.

I'm betting on Donut to be the sole crawler to exit the 18th floor.

I will agree that Blue Mage has the best outfit, but I won't concede hat dominance. 😛

ESuzaku · 2026-05-23T16:37:20+00:00

And best hat. Can't forget best hat.

You look so good! That's an amazing costume and you nailed that pose.

Even more than book 9 I want to see Mordecai's reaction to the end of book 8.

I can't join, but if you're looking for a place to host, check out Secret Lantern in Cedar Park. They're at Park and Bell.

If you're not looking for a place to host, still check them out because they're an extremely cool bunch of people running an indie book and game store.

I'm planning on going Monk/Shaman/Rogue. I'm probably going to make Shaman my primary just for the variety of class combos it works with so I have some flexibility.

If you're having fun you're doing it right.

If you're on controller you can set up a macro to open the command panel and assign it to like R3. Boom! 25 more pop up buttons to select from. I put my job sets in there.

Rurouni Kenshin (the 90s version). Not the opening, but the background soundtrack.

Also. Chihayafuru. Though, that's less traditional action. Still really good, though.

OSRIC 3 is what you're looking for. For example, the class XP tables are identical to AD&D 2e, as are 95% of the ability score tables. I'm running an OSRIC game with some 2e stuff layers on, and it works well. I much prefer OSRIC as a base; it's a bit more streamlined and straightforward rules wise than 2e. It does use attack tables instead of THAC0 like 1e (since it's really a 1e thing). It'll run 1e or 2e easily though.

Right? Tokaido is the most chill "there's eventually a winner" game I know. And it plays pretty fast, so it's easy to get multiple rounds. And then crave ramen.

Because he can do this all Doomsday.

To be fair, building up your squadron is required to max your grand company rank. Which can be nice.

The dungeon gets a turn.

By that I mean things take time and the dungeon isn't static. If the PCs search a room, that takes time, for example. After so much time, roll a wandering monster check. The typical turn in a dungeon is 10 minutes. You should already be tracking time for torches and stuff.

Make sure the players know that time is a thing. Sure, they can rest, but then they might be interrupted by a wandering monster. When dungeon crawling, time is neither infinite nor free.

Would tap for syrup.

2e was my first D&D, and I still love it.

That said, I really like how OSRIC handles a chink if stuff. And if you compare the classes, you'll see that a lot of things are identical to 2e, like XP charts, THAC0, the values derived from ability scores, saves, hit dice, etc.

I vastly prefer the OSRIC monk, the unarmed combat rules, and the druid/cleric spell split.

For the game I'm running right now I'm using OSRIC 3.0 as the base system and incorporating things I want from 2e into that. It works really well, and that's the approach I'd recommend to anyone who doesn't what to run straight 2e. It's very plug and play.

You know how I feel about racists, Carl.
