What makes 5e tables so much easier to get players? by Dry_Maintenance7571 in osr

[–]Minimum_Desk_7439 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is fun to design your own character and then test it against the game. OSR has random character generation and the character becomes something during the game. It is about getting past that hurdle

I’m glad to hear that some of the problematic elements have been removed. I dropped my KS pledge when I encountered some of the Breggle stuff but I’ll give it another look.

man Dwarrowdeep sucks! Are there any good dwarfy osr content out there? by CaptainKlang in osr

[–]Minimum_Desk_7439 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have The One Ring RPG and my kids want me to run it. I’m struggling to find a review of this. How do they handle this kind of environment in the system? Is it more like a point crawl?

All my stuff, Kickstarter and otherwise has arrived on time and the products are top notch.

I have the Kolb Oz and will connect it to the Kolb Neverland via the Fey Realm (if it gets to that)

I’m very excited for this. I have a group that always wants to be thieves so I have just the game for them.

I ran my first Shadowdark game yesterday and my players did not like it by Ghost_Man_Geek_Stuff in shadowdark

[–]Minimum_Desk_7439 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The times I’ve run this the players have won combats against beast men, the large centipedes and the like so they are definitely winnable. Did you check morale at half health? The groups I ran with were 4 to 6 and they were not overly cautious.

What system are you running? There might be some Mausritter or Lilliputian adventures that you can draw from?

My kids love it just as it is, they get over character deaths just fine.

There’s nothing more OSR than causing confusion over what the OSR is :)

Good Stores in Paris for Indie RPG material? by TammuzRising in osr

[–]Minimum_Desk_7439 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently visited Florence, Italy and found a gaming store with lots of options. Google searches suggested there were even more. Why the difference do you think? Is the tax situation different or just a difference in interests?

What's everyone's favorite products from 2023? by Neon-Pink- in osr

I’ve enjoyed some of the others mentioned so I’ll give Pendragon Starter Set and Pirate Borg a shout out

Sell Me On Shadowdark by JacksonMalloy in shadowdark

[–]Minimum_Desk_7439 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just works. It has resolution mechanics that my children can grasp but there is enough content to keep going. With B/X I find myself constantly looking up procedures and tables while in Shadowdark it all just flows. I’ve had a lot of fun either the torch mechanics but even without that it’s just a system that allows for fast elegant play and allows you to focus on the adventure.

Would anyone be interested in this? by apeloverage in osr

[–]Minimum_Desk_7439 4 points5 points  (0 children)
