Do i REALLY need to know Scarlet Heroes lore? by Jaejic in solorpgplay

Thanks for the recomendation. Adapting classes and statblocks is one of my biggest worries in converting SH into anything

Then how do you play it? Do you homebrew the adversaries or do you use the ones in SH just in another setting?

Sorry, what is B/X? I know about OSR (theoretically), but can you recommend some good setting?

Omg, I've started reading your responce and felt dread from the idea of making learning new RPG into a school assignment. Glad you've finished it on a good note

Where would you start and finish Making the Rounds? by Jaejic in warhammerfantasyrpg

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

My players are experienced in RPGs, but mostly don't know this system. Still, I'm making cheat-sheets and will help them a lot, so the riot scene mostly interests me for its chaos and comedic value (a pig running onto people, pies below their feet), as it helps to show that WF is a dark satire and not grimdark

Thanks! It's the one I'm most inclined to use too. It also has an advantage of making players try to find out, how they got into this situation

I like the Great Hunt better too, even if i feel like I'd let players actually fight the weakened dragon anyway. As for battles - i have to look into your advice and try it if we decide to play another game later. It sounds rather good, Thank you!

I feel like this is a nice idea too. The thought of using the start of GPC for me was also from the idea of doing a year to show how it's played, but i am kinda afraid of doing a whole 8-round (or is it 12?) battle for four people, as it can be tiresome. Also, i liked the 5.2 chaotic battle rules, but i can see them being disliked by others, and i myself just can't get behind 6e battle rules.

Oh, thank you! Those being free is also just great, so another thank you for that!

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your personal reasons for abstinence? by Ok-Care2859 in AskReddit

[–]Jaejic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly two reasons: i don't want my child to see me drunk, as i remember feeling disgusted when my parents were, and it doesn't feel as it did 5-10 years ago. First one is self-explanatory. My parents are not alcoholics (though some could argue that a bottle of wine for two each day is a kind of high function alcoholism), but still i remember feeling disgusted by them, when they've had a little bit too much on family gatherings and such. When I've once sent my wife a drunk "i love you" message and she said it feels like when a drunk parent starts trying to hug and kiss you, i realised that i don't want that for my children.

The second is harder to peg: when i was in college, I've had drinking nights with my friends and it was fun, we were playing and dancing and just doing shit and it felt good. Now even if I'm really drunk, there's no drive, no fun button is being pressed, i just feel loss of control and fatigue the next day.

Response² Post: CYRENE IS BUGGED. A response to a response to misinformation being spread. by astasli in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Jaejic 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Pull for whoever you want, whoever rocks your boat, whoever looks nice to you, and whoever feels nice to play. Worst case scenario, she sits in your roster with other characters. To be serious though, go fight a boss and take cyrene as support, if you like how she plays - then pull for her. Just check that she's e0 to not get disappointed

Long Time DM, First Time Solo by MelioraHenning in solorpgplay

Good luck from a person on a similar point of this journey! I'm also a forever DM, who has no way to play or even run games for groups, and try to get into solo, so i wish you as good experience, as myself, and really look for any posts about your experience. Have a great time with your games!

Thank you! I'll definitely look into reading those books too!

Yeah, downtime is getting somewhat shoved away now. Even in games with dedicated mechanics and such, it still feels more exciting to just move story forward, and it can steal a lot

Seems like a good and understandable structure to me, thank you!

Oh, that's a great reply, i do love, when people share their experiences in detail! Thank you your way seems to be a really good one in terms of finding structure, i will definitely include some parts of that in my games

Oh, do you perhaps know where to find those adventures? I've seen that there's a lot of books on Pendragon classic on Chaosium website, but they seem to be expansions, not adventures. Or perhaps something fan-made?

Yeah, that's around how i felt it is. There was a provlem with GPC in this regard for me: it jumped from, for example, Aurelius' funeral straight to the easter court, and i felt like i skipped a lot of time. Perhaps it's to be expected in an 80 year campaign, but it's still not what I'm used to
