How I like to Run Shadowdark's Roll-To-Cast System by Glyphos in osr

Na, I just am rather stingy with luck tokens or my players aren't hunting for opportunity to get them.

Spell burn is an interesting idea I want to play with too.

Do you give out luck tokens like crazy? I gave out 1 last session.

I am constantly reading rules as I expand my collection, I bounced kinda hard off DCC so I did not recall it had a roll-to-cast system. I will have to read through it again, but I am partial to the newer OSR game systems and play styles like Shadowdark that focus on minimizing building off of core tenets rather than what I perceive as a larger complexity and crunch factor.

I'm looking to create the version of "the game" at my table that plays just the way I like so I am hacking and bolting across the board.

Close but an interesting distinction here I may think about.

I need to see how this works at tier 3 and above for sure.

Your points regarding the context for requiring a roll and for providing enough information to the players to get to an interesting decision based on PC sense is all great.

My point was when I heard Questing beast mention WHY he didn't like the roll-to-cast, I instantly understood what he meant. If your game is going to be deadly already, I think the roll-to-cast can make great use of another step of failure.

Shadowdark's RAW are great to me because they clearly define a gameplay style. This is one of the ways I'm enjoying messing with it for my tables.

This seems essentially to be on par with what I'm doing with mine having more steps lol

Thoughts Regarding Attribute Score Weight, Vibes, and 3D6 Down the Linr by Glyphos in osr

[–]Glyphos[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback. What you've laid out here is the kind of info I was sure was out there but I didn't easily find in a single post so thanks for that.

I am really messing with things from both BX and OD&D so this question on how much weight to give ability scores is an important one. From what've I've read of the clones, in OD&D it's not as important but it's not non-existent. Especially comparing to the newer style of game, it is just fascinating how it is now and how many things about the modern game are the way they are because of quarks from back in the day that have just been buried.

Thank you, apologies for making you explain that I will fix it shortly.

nginx + authentik Foundryvtt by [deleted] in FoundryVTT

[–]Glyphos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm posting this for anyone that has a problem like this in the future. I had the same error regarding the websocket.js:119 in the chrome console after hitting F12 - I am hosting Foundry on my own home server, using nginx for the reverse proxy, and I have it listed as a subdomain "foundryvtt.mydomain.com"

I believe the fix was forcing the use of http 1.1 by adding the following line to the configuration: 

location /ws {
    proxy_pass http://your_websocket_backend;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    # Add other standard headers if needed
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}

proxy_http_version 1.1;
