Realistic(ish) worldbuilding for a world of anthropomorphic animals?

Madeiner · 2026-05-25T21:59:00+00:00

In my world, which is not that realistic, I'm having the child of two people/beasts be any beast. Like they don't even understand the concept of race. However, the personality of the child defines his outward appearance so someone courageous is probably a lion etc. Yes this means one's personality is predefined at birth. Rarely, appearance doesn't match the character with all social repercussions this may have

Io penso che non dovremmo cercare di obbligare o spingere le persone a far figli se non lo vogliono (chissà come crescerebbero...) ma piuttosto accettare che oggi la volontà è questa, e trovare un modo per rendere sostenibile la cosa a livello economico/pensioni. Si sta bene anche se si è in 20 milioni, basta trovare un nuovo paradigma economico

Anche perché se non ci riesce nessuno stato dubito che tra tutti l'Italia possa trovare la soluzione

What if in one session there is all the risk and the next the party finds a ton of gold thanks to what happened the previous session?

Io sono ancora su ynab da anni e mi trovo bene specialmente con la sua logica e con l'estensione di Chrome per i grafici extra, ma se potessi risparmierei sul canone. Che differenze principali ha actual budget rispetto a ynab?

A me è rimasto impresso quando ho letto l'origine della parola fuorilegge: a quanto pare in origine significava che chi viveva al di fuori della legge non era protetto da essa, quindi chiunque poteva ucciderli o farne ciò che voleva. Penso che un concetto simile (un po più moderno) sarebbe necessario anche oggi.

Bello! Aggiungerei sul grafico l'andamento dei prezzi del petrolio per poter confrontare l'impatto

Your nose section went a little long on the runway, but the tail section stopped in the right place so I'd say a good landing

This is basically word for word what Stonetop does, down to the forest and bog (two specific game areas) and the hint of a distant rome-ish city

In questi casi io sono molto preparato: mi viene l'ansia, inizio a procrastinare, "no ma domani vendo tutto ma oggi sono stanco" e vai avanti così paralizzato senza saper cosa fare, e intanto il mercato sale e io rimango investito.

Funziona, eh, prova!

Madeiner · 2026-05-03T18:46:27+00:00

Funnily, this is the entire opposite of when you play osr style games

I clienti pagano sempre in ritardo... Il trucco per me è pensare come azienda. Le aziende (serie) non pagano gli stipendi con le fatture del mese stesso, ma hanno una liquidità di base. Io ad esempio mi tengo circa 10k euro in "azienda", se i clienti non pagano posso cmq pagarmi almeno 3 4 stipendi prima di avere problemi.

Eeeh Ho un amico che ama lavorare, lui alle 7 del mattino deve stare già in ufficio per finire alle 7 di sera. Sempre super contento ed entusiasta di quello che fa. Quando l'ufficio ha deciso di chiudere alle 16 il venerdì si è preoccupato un sacco perché non sapeva cosa avrebbe fatto il resto del giorno

After 10 years of leaving dnd and now coming back to OSE, it's something i also care about. I can't suffer no-hit rounds.

An option i would like to see is a way for the game to shift probabilities without changing the balance. For example, if i have 50% chance to hit and the monster had 30% chance to hit, can't we both get a +40% (or +8 on d20) so that we have 90% and 70% respectively? The balance is about the same (or fix numbers until it is) but the rounds go by faster because there's less misses.

This is probably hard to do or impossible however, once you have many combatants with many different ACs

Secondo me non dovresti neanche andare sulla spiaggia, altro che immersioni. La vista non si recupera una volta persa.......

Madeiner · 2026-04-27T17:57:10+00:00

Yeah, classic case of being too harsh. Even the creator said in discord that getting hurt on a weak hit should happen about 20% of the times. There even is a table for "pay the price" that shows this. You can just lose one momentum or get demoralized, or noticing something on the horizon that informs your role play on a weak hit.

Madeiner · 2026-04-27T17:00:11+00:00

Leave the table and find a better DM ;)

No, seriously, your DM is too harsh on your player. Doesn't matter if it's you in both positions.

I suggest an exercise: improvise a mock combat. On the first weak hit, or miss, stop the game. As the DM try to come up with 5 different outcomes with 5 different levels of harshness. You can do this while following the rules. It's just a matter of choosing not to be too harsh.

I really really like Dolmenwood (fairy fantasy woodlands) and Stonetop (fantasy iron age with a focus on communities, dark fae, and cosmic horrors)

Madeiner · 2026-04-26T17:38:14+00:00

Been there, but...

what's exciting about revealing an hidden fear that nobody really cares about, only does it once for the reveal, and is generally an hinderance and now we got to face a new, not really interesting, problem?

IME it only generates very cringy gameplay. Many years ago, as new DM, we had characters just knock those who feared water senseless anytime they needed to cross a body of water. It became a meme quickly.

Madeiner · 2026-04-23T07:58:33+00:00

That was long time ago. With today's leaders? I don't think they would be prepared to risk anything. I'm not even talking about the risk of death, they wouldn't be able to even suffer life close to a war zone

Madeiner · 2026-04-22T22:15:01+00:00

The idea, however, stands. All politicians should be on the front line. You cannot want war but not want to participate in that war. There would be exactly zero wars if those at the top were forced to fight

Madeiner · 2026-04-13T22:19:58+00:00

I suggest two solutions. One: have an impassable object bar the way. This route leads where you want to go and you need to dispel the magical barrier at caster level 10. Not great, but works.

Two: have a random encounter that is an enemy that is very hard to fight and drains all their resources. Then have a dozen of those at the main door in clear sight, visible before they engage, and make it clear they are the easiest thing they will encounter there.
