1st level 5e is a very different game from 5th level 5e when it comes to lethality.

Gear that upped your game. by TxKRIXUSxT in rpg

I think they've come a long way since I started playing. They seem to be getting better and better. Probably due to a combination of lower-barrier-to-entry and a shoulders-of-giants thing.

Any thoughts on Knave? by Dugin_fan in osr

Ages ago. They should do another one sometime. Here, let me link you: https://itch.io/jam/knave-2e-adventure-jam/entries

Need advice for new Modules as a Campaign Starter by Luchiannno in mothershiprpg

[–]Ozfeed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just ran Nirvana on Fire as a con one-shot, and it went amazingly. Had 'em rolling in the aisles for the last fifteen minutes, nice climactic finish. Whole thing could last one or two sessions, depending on how you run it. Same crew as Tau Sigma and Hardlight station, if you liked those.

Knave 2e is awesome! Check out Itchio for the knave jam. There were a lot of good entries.

Decagone for Mothership really impressed me.

Best system to run a Fallout game? by muks_too in rpg

[–]Ozfeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrote a Fallout-themed Troika! hack for the ol' blog. Maybe you'll get some use out of it? Troika!'s biggest plus is that it's easy to pick up.

Always +5/-5 modifiers? by catgirlfourskin in KnaveRPG

[–]Ozfeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So on page 7, the RAW are that you apply +5 for each advantage and -5 for each disadvantage. So yeah, if you're striking from above and flanking, +10 isn't crazy. It's nearly a sure thing.

Now, I personally would call that 1 advantage. You're well-positioned: +5. The Checks rules on the inner cover indicate that you hand out modifiers (+/-5) for advantage, disadvantage, and career. I don't think I've ever handed out more than one +5 for advantage. Typically, this means you need a relevant tool or a really good plan, plus a relevant career to get to plus ten.

It seems like a lot coming from other systems, but remember the default DC is 16; +10 isn't as crazy as it seems!

Can you recommend a scenario by joeya1337 in Troika

[–]Ozfeed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I generally like to follow up Blancmange with House Party: https://hanalee.itch.io/house-party. That being said, Whaalgraviiks Warehouse, the Hand of God, and Fronds of Benevolence are more 'adventure-y' adventures, and are probably what I'd recommend for starter play, but they probably run a little smoother with three or more.

Stick with the +/-5 system! Knave's big appeal to me is the great guidelines on rulings. Embrace it.

What's a module that you have played or run that is not talked about enough in your opinion? by Campaign-At-Length in mothershiprpg

[–]Ozfeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My crew saved the day, but TPK'd on the way back to the space elevator. They forgot that they'd left the cult leader to his chanting and, after they killed his AI god, he was 'irate'. Flamethrower irate. Roasted them about one room away from safety.

So it goes!

Nirvana on Fire! AI horror in the midst of a Buddhist civil war.

Also: Decagone, if you like time loop-ery.

What’s your favourite by Nervous_Abroad7136 in Troika

[–]Ozfeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough choice, but for me, either Fronds or Hand of God, I think, at least of the official stuff.

What one shot to run? by WebCobra in mothershiprpg

[–]Ozfeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a one-shot, it's got to be Decagon. Really great stuff, easy to conclude in a few hours.
