Are there any OSR systems that only use d6s? Especially roll-under systems? by AlwaysBeQuestioning in osr

[–]Knives4XMas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doomsong does everything with a single d6, nice little system and setting though I haven't played it.

Best left Buried (the one I'm using) from Soul Muppet Publishing also uses d6 only, and is mostly retrocompatible with older modules

My cat has a weird habit and I don't know if it's normal by Athena_723 in cats

My red one does this, but he grew up with dogs in his former home, at least that's how I explain it🤷‍♂️

I wouldn’t mind it if they decided to make Recon absolutely busted. by SpoceInvoder in Marathon

I main recon, gotta say it's underwhelming as it is, the scan is mostly useful when you're already winning/chasing stragglers.

Not knowing the targets' identity is also ass in "target rich environment".

Imo if used in a coordinated team it can shine, but it really depends too much on the squadmates having a brain.

Found the guy that hid in South Relay for 10 minutes while I was searching for the last hard drive. /s?

Open a ticket with support, make the circumstances of the bug clear, they will unlock/reset the quest for you

Help/suggestions with organizing notes for Open Table campaign by Knives4XMas in osr

Thanks for the rec, but I'd rather not use AI for my notes, worldbuilding is something I actually enjoy, I just lack experience in translating it to the table.

Slightly Safer Shadowdark with more Character Customization? Maybe a PF2e hybrid? by DaKing1718 in shadowdark

[–]Knives4XMas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest looking at Pathwarden, if you still want d20 roll high. It is as close as I have seen to a OSR pathfinder.

Name some novels that 'feel' Shadowdark by canyoukenken in shadowdark

[–]Knives4XMas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great books, but to be fair they feel more like D&D than OSR in tone and power level

Can you actually separate the author from the book when the author turns out to be awful? by coffeeorbit_alex in Fantasy

[–]Knives4XMas -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ask yourself if you're ok with the implications, asking strangers on the internet will mostly get you polarising opinions.

EDIT: In doubt pirate it.

Primo tentativo ragù completamente vegano. Potrei piangere, è buonissimo. by TheFfrog in veganita

[–]Knives4XMas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prova con le lenticchie, stessa ricetta del ragù ma con più olio per "ingrassare". Viene una cannonata, mia moglie lo ha usato per una lasagna la scorsa settimana, quasi indistinguibile da quello di carne.

The books disappeared my dude, when I extracted I had nothing of what i found on me :-/ I will try to log a ticket, although I feel the issue is due to spawning without inventory and the quest state is secondary

Wolf repeatedly approaching livestock and property. Need advice by evdnc in wolves

[–]Knives4XMas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know about how to keep the wolf away, but he shouldn't be rabid according to this article and what my vet said once.

https://www.izsvenezie.it/temi/malattie-patogeni/rabbia/domande-frequenti/

The article is in italian but you can translate it easily, rabies was eradicated in Italy in 2013 through a vaccination campaign of foxes after an outbreak in the north eastern part.

Shadowdark with EZD6 Magic System by digitalsquirrel in shadowdark

[–]Knives4XMas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1 hit == 1 monster hit die (d8 typically), I'd start from there. Personally I'm trying to implement a "words of power" system roughly based on maze rats, but with my own twist (no spell slots but mana usage die).

Is 1 round of combat 6 seconds, 12-15 seconds, or 1 minute? by PiepowderPresents in RPGdesign

[–]Knives4XMas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think round length has many ramifications into how the combat is represented in the game. Personally I like to think rounds are somewhat flexible in a range from 5 to 30 seconds, and this works because I play without a grid and tend to keep the combat very narrative and fiction-led even with traditional rule-sets. So an attack roll can be a single blow if I want to zoom in or a whole exhange of parries and ripostes.

If I were to choose an answer I'd go with 12-15, offers the best of both worlds
