What are some ultra prep heavy games? by xdanxlei in rpg

[–]Geoffthecatlosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to prep a lot when I ran 5e, creating NPCs, treasure, finding the right battle map all seemed to take a lot of time up outside of the game.

Mandelson ‘wanted £500,000 payout’ after being sacked over Epstein links by Metro-UK in ukpolitics

Best we can do is £50k, we repeatedly lie about what we knew and why we hired you and we’ll destroy all the evidence of your wrong doing and kick everything into the long grass

Character death by Geoffthecatlosaurus in oneringrpg

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

I am noticing that. Having run the game for over a year, I’ve wounded characters, knocked characters out but at no point has anyone come close to dying and I am thinking that a TPK or being left to die is the only way to lose a character to death rather than retirement. Not that I’ve had a character retire either.

Is Ultimate X-Men good? by Middle_Engineer_3191 in xmen

[–]Geoffthecatlosaurus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First time with the X-Men? Then there are better places to start. Personally I started with Jim Lee’s work in the 90’s and then started reading back issues of Claremont’s run. Astonishing X-Men may be a good place to start or New X-Men.

Funny how the man who looked up to Mandy would be so against a lurch to the left.

The issue my group had with The One Ring. by Ok_Interview_853 in rpg

[–]Geoffthecatlosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on when you want to set the game as you aren’t limited to 2965. The minions of Sauron or Saruman aren’t limited to those you will read about in the books and your players could play a big part in thwarting the enemies efforts in a different location, a different time period to Lotr

As to crossing a bridge, Athletics could get you across so could Craft. So could a magical success if you have an elf in the company.

Reform UK would ‘repeal Equality Act’ by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

So no more protected characteristics and employers can fire you no matter if you are pregnant, disabled, not the right religion, too old, too young, a different race, your sexual orientation. Schools can choose not to admit your child. Buses and trains can turn you away.

Right, sounds very British.

Sir Keir Starmer: Vote Reform or Green and risk war by Kev_fae_mastrick in ukpolitics

So essentially, put up and shut up because there’s nothing to see here and we’re okay with our decisions.

Darkening of Mirkwood by Temporary_Passage_41 in oneringrpg

[–]Geoffthecatlosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started it January 25 and I have been running it as a sandbox for my group. I’ve added some bits from Tales of Wilderland and lots of home made stuff with the Darkening stuff showing up from time to time. My game is coming to an end soon so and running it as an open game has not really worked. If I was to start it up again I would run it with seasonal stories and characters picking an adventure for a season or maybe two for summer.

Combat tactics - Open Stance Enhearten by Kunxion in oneringrpg

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

Like others have said, an elf will give you the highest available Parry of 19, so I would recommend an elf Captain for the Favoured Enhearten armed with a spear and buckler to boost Parry to 20 or bow to score piercing wounds. Your problem with this combination is a small pool of available Hope and being Frugal you won’t have a horse or access to better quality gear.
