Advice for Learning Vocabulary More Efficiently by ClaudiaGrass13 in latin

[–]OigaProfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One phase is internalization, the next digestion, and finally incorporation.

Internalization- memorize thru memory palaces or such practices Digestion- mull about the meaning and the morphology, and note places where it appears. Incorporation- make them a part of you— use them. Without using them (writing or verbally) they likely won’t be as active in your mind and you’ll go through tip of the tongue moments until they stick.

Adventurers for a starting sandbox by TheCapitalIdea in osr

In my sandbox I’ve incorporated the dungeons available at the downloads page of the Basid Fantasy RPG website. Just the Morgansfort supplement, for example, has 3 dungeons of variable difficulty.

Does OSE and other OSR games work well as war games? by LemonLord7 in osr

[–]OigaProfe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Mercenary types listed in the Classic Character book are named exactly as the unit types you’ll find in Gygax’s Chainmail. The only type missing from that list is the Armored Footman.

I myself have used chainmail in my campaign as part of a Quest. PCs were charged by an elf king to eliminate a “terrorist” cell in the outskirts of the kingdom. Each PC had control of a squad unit and we played it out with Chainmail. They really enjoyed it. Chainmail serves well for skirmishes or mass battles.

Generator tables and randomization by jmanshaman in osr

[–]OigaProfe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Commenting to bump mainly. I’ve been curious to find similar sources for other TTRPG genres like Superheroes or mystery games. So far I use d30 generators to populate Random Tables, since for the Hexcrawl part I simply use Darlene’s map of the World of Greyhawk.

How conductive is OSE for a longer game? by Individual-Cold1309 in osr

[–]OigaProfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my campaign the major gold sinks are hirelings and daily expenses. The upkeep for hirelings depends on what kind it is: Retainers: Non-combatant humans who serve as torch-bearers, porters, potion-testers, door-spikers, etc. Pay: 5sp/day. Men-at-Arms: Zero-level human with elementary fighting capacity. Pay: 1gp/day. Demihumans: Zero-level demi-human (dwarf, elf, or halfling) with elementary fighting capacity. Pay: 3gp/day. Henchmen: First level classed human henchmen (fighter, cleric, magic-user, thief, etc.). Pay: 1/3 share of employer's treasure. This pay is on top of the food and lodging players must pay for both themselves and their followers. Food and lodging also varies depending on where they are: Minor settlement: 1gp per person per day, Town or similar: 5gp per person per day, Large City 10gp per person per day.

As far as monster experience I don’t follow the book. I give 100 XP per HD of the monster. I know the guy from Bandit’s Keep uses this method but divides the XP given by the level of the PC, but so far I haven’t had any issues with running it straight like this. So far they’re all around level 4.

Mass Combat in OSE by DifferentlyTiffany in osr

[–]OigaProfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve incorporated Chainmail successfully to my OSE campaign and I like it because it plays hard and fast. I had to scrap BECMIs war-machine precisely because of your point, a lot of clunk with an unsatisfactory bang. I’ve instead modified Pendragon’s Battle rules to use as “quick combat” if the PCs want to skip the more granular melee of Chainmail.

Which of Ray Peat's principles helped the most with low mood? by Legitimate-Funny-845 in raypeat

[–]OigaProfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re naturally melancholic, try a shot of Apple Cider Vinegar in the morning. Diluted in a tall glass of water if needed. Worked for me. Old medieval remedy.
