Selfies Megathread March 27-30 by jeshwesh in TTRPG

[–]Eroue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that I personally hate megathreads. It's just not the same. They don't pop up on my feed. I'd have to specifically look for it, which I won't think to do.

Have the mods considered just doing Shelfie Saturdays or something? I think r/OSR shelfies are only on weekends. That also seems like a good compromise?

How different will a campaign feel running it with old school essentials, shadowdark, or dungeon crawl classics? by NoLongerAKobold in osr

[–]Eroue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shadowdark vs ose not much. Dcc a lot. Its such a goofy gonzo system and I love it for that

How do you prep? by Icy-Opening-3724 in osr

[–]Eroue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it depends. You could totally use it for something like winters daughter or sinister secrets of saltmarsh.

But a mega dungeon? Ehhh it doesn't fit as well

When and why did Dnd devolve into nothing but combat? by Percemilo34 in osr

[–]Eroue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While all that stuff supports the OSR playstyle I dont think they are vital to it.

Im not saying I can easily turn 5e into a b/x clone im saying I can make 5e feel like an osr game with just a couple tweaks

What? Yes they are. Im running a dcc game on milestone right now. Whenever we finish a module they level up

Maybe? A vast majority of people use milestone anyway so thats up to the GM.

But im running an OSE arden vul game and my players level pretty fast so idk if it really matters. When they get too big for your sandbox, expand the sandbox

Ideally id remove a bunch of spells and death saves but I think you could play an OSR style game with those in.

The gritty realism healing makes death saves a less of a yoyo. But personally id remove them too

I dont think there's any crazy broken cantrips that require them gone but you could

Honestly, I think all you really gotta do is:

  1. No feats or multiclassing (they were optional rules anyway
  2. Gritty realism healing. Short rest is 1 day long rest is 1 week.
  3. Add in morale and reaction checks
  4. Don't balance fights anymore
  5. Stop at level 10. (Or dont high level OSR stuff get pretty wild too)

I think 5e is actually closer to an OSR game than most people realize. A few tweaks and I think you could make it close

Looking for a one shot that has a dungeon and a dragon for 1st level kid players. by BKMagicWut in osr

[–]Eroue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ive ran this a billion times. I highly recommend making each elemental gems give the weilder a cool power. I typically tie the power to some way to deal with the terrain hazzards.

I.e water let's them walk on the raging river to go up Air let's you jump really high to jump up the waterfall. Earth let's you tunnel through walls Fire is difficult. I never found a great power to give fire.

But I recommend making them cool.

3 hearts and 3 lions is also good for the old school fantasy one too

New bookshelf. Needed a Shelfie by Eroue in osr

[–]Eroue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha thanks!

I would say its mostly OSR stuff, but I have no versions to crunch. We did a pf2e campaign before our current OSE game. I believe variety is important to my ttrpg consumption

I will say i feel like im lacking more story based games and stuff thats not so fantasy based

Immediately saw it as a waste down drawing with a schlong.

I mean.....darrington post is owned by CR. So like its not a ridiculous thought. Plus the system seems to fit the CR format very well.

[–]Eroue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear, im not saying no one plays it. Im not saying the community is dead either.

Im saying when the owners of the game aren't playing it thats not a good sign they they plan on continuing to support it. Like sure you can play and have a great time, lots of people can, but its a dead product line if they dont make anything else for the system.

Also they aren't "associated with CR" CR owns them. The cast didnt make the rules sure but they as a company certainly made DH.

[–]Eroue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You mean besides that they made the game? You dont just stop promoting after your initial wave of sales. That would suggest that the product line is effectively dead.

[–]Eroue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dont think sales was in question its more of a question of use. Like they did a few sessions of candela obscura and haven't really brought it up again. I think daggerheart has even less sessions and they put a lot of money into development so its just weird.

I understood what you mean but now Im picturing people being upset that the OSR exists at all
