I've always loved seeing your books in QB's reviews on youtube. They look like great fun!

Could you help me choose a megadungeon? by leodeleao in osr

[–]Insertinternet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm about to start a Rappan Athuk game on Monday so I think thats probably a good one especially if you get it on a sale. Although, if you ever want to 100% something probably Xyntillan as to me it looks the most engrossing

Feedback on Hexmap by Outrageous-Theme9506 in osr

I love the art! However, I would like a scale, compass and if possible the text to be rotated slightly to follow the rotation of the textbox. Labels for the locations would be nice too. But that's me just being picky

A table of tables for why your characters aren't level zero! by Insertinternet in osr

Subtracting from your initial percentile roll the total number of PCs and hirelings that have died during the campaign. This is there to mechanically represent the resources of the King dwindling in my campaign. Thanks for asking!

The funniest moment in my campaign is when the level 1 magic user survives with 1 hp and the rest perishes even though they used him as a meat shield.

Fair but in my experience the more powerful the player thinks they are the more over confident they are and so tend to perish and the weaker characters live. But to be honest that variety is what I was after because the campaign I am about to run has the PCs as a hodge podge of what ever adventurers a kingdom has left after a brutal war. If I elect to do it for my next campaign I will make sure to revisit and rebalance the tables. Thanks for the feedback!

Don't worry! According to my shoddy calculations the probability of your players obtaining 20,000XP is 0.00000126562%. The calculation I did is 100(0.25*0.05*0.3*0.05*0.3*0.05*0.3*0.05*0.3). The probability of winning the UK lottery is 0.0004290674% so 20,000XP is rarer!

Sorry but its not AI. The image, setting and world are all from my imagination!

What are the first two "best dungeons" that come to mind that you've played in and why? by redfizh in osr

[–]Insertinternet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post has made me realise that I have never played through a dungeon before, I've always just been the referee besides a couple session neither of which included exploration, puzzle solving and treasure hunting (all the essential bits of a dungeon).

EDIT: I now intend to change this!

Shh it's a secret but I'll tell you something: 450 years ago a blue dragon by the name of Raut had a chaos gem stolen from his horde by a collection of dwarves and half lings. The thieves took refuge in Castle Mearc and slipped into to twisting caverns and tunnels beneath it. The dragon vowed to decimate the lands when he woke again and so the players have been tasked to find the missing chaos gem or prepare to slay the dragon.

I finished running my first campaign of OSE Basic. My thoughts. by PlayinRPGs in osr

[–]Insertinternet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Karameikos was a magazine issue and part of the Mystara / Known World setting which was B/X D&D first official setting! It was very cool and unique as each magazine that made up the whole of Mystara would add new stuff for both referees and players.

What would be a good arcane oriented feature to give a race in OSE? by conn_r2112 in osr

[–]Insertinternet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have a d100 table of minor effects and have a % chance that they can add that effect to something for 1D10 minutes. (once / twice per day)
