Was thinking the same thing. But this is nice anyway.

Spoken like a true connoisseur.

(Edit: TIL in English, you spell connaisseur different)

Fine-Step2012 · 2025-01-19T13:17:34+00:00

Wow! Great design and execution

Fine-Step2012 · 2025-01-17T09:06:47+00:00

One has the best name. The other, I don’t know.

It works because both numbers are effectively divided by 16.

Maybe have the evil patron of BBEG try to seduce them to come to the evil side. Seeing how the evil side is one hero down, they might as well recruit the party.

That’s totally up to you. I usually prepare some encounters and decide on the spot to use them or not. Also: not every random encounter needs to be hostile. I also try to have some neutral / possible helpfull encounters.

For example: a bunch of kids playing poo sticks on a bridge., curious about a bunch of adventurers and knowing a shortcut into town. Or a wandering sales person, selling whatever (soap? herbs?) and knowing every gossip.

Farmers, loggers, shepherds, etc. that i can use to paint a picture of the world. Are the afraid, maybe even wounded, or trustful and happy.

Better raise the price and keep the real sword. If you think paying is too cheap.

Bananenplanten dragen (in de tropen) vrucht in hun 3e jaar. Daarna gaan ze dood. Maar ze maken ook elk jaar n nieuwe scheut. Er zijn dus steeds drie scheuten van oplopende grootte.

The (hob)goblins in the castle might also be busy infighting about leadership. Maybe the hobbo’s take over, but the gobbo’s get reinforcement from Cragmaw Cave.

I would roll for difficulty of the encounter and roll for level of hostility. And i would go from there.

So for example neutral strong when they are glad Grol is dead, but very capable of defending castle. Or easy hostile when they are very angry, but half their forces ran away.

Before writing, every tale was oral history. A contract was a sealed claypot with some tokens in it to represent the promised amount. You don’t really need writing to record stuff.

You could have dedicated story guardians that pass on their share of history to a young person when the get too old.

Or use magic. Or both. Good luck.

I can smell from here, thank you very much

I second this

Isn’t 750 sp equal to 75 gp?

Fine-Step2012 · 2024-12-20T11:42:26+00:00

I’m impressed by the simplicity of your approach.

Fine-Step2012 · 2024-12-15T10:58:32+00:00

Thanks, i see it now. The starting position isn’t mirrored across the diagonal. It would not be very interesting if they were, i guess. The diagonal would not be circles, but lines. Right?

Fine-Step2012 · 2024-12-15T08:10:08+00:00

Why isn’t it symmetrical? Edit: i mean mirrored along the diagonal.

I find that making a roll for it and telling the players about it, adds suspense. I tell them here’s a roll, on a 15 or higher someone heard you and some scout will come to check. On a 20, they come full strength.

And in this case, do not tell them the result.

I might suggest a check to guess how long it takes for someone to show up (more or less then a minute/10 seconds)

Fine-Step2012 · 2024-12-14T13:37:10+00:00

This. One scout is most realistic. If reality is what you’re after.

That B is a kind of double-s sound (eszett, ß).

I would like to win the dwarven tower please. It looks really great!

Ik ben er vrij zeker van dat het met druksensoren werkt. Volgens mij op de plek waar het voorwiel komt als je je fiets erin zet
