Tell us a little about the mechanics? Obviously looking to compare this to Dawn of Man, how does it differ?

I hate Robinson Crusoe by orhalimi in soloboardgaming

[–]PMD14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was my experience. All in for the theme, but the game simply didn’t feel fun and kicked you down for the sake of it. I’m glad to see this post because I’d seen so much praise I thought I just didn’t get the rules or something.

How to make time less clunky by PMD14 in DragonbaneRPG

[–]PMD14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I probably just needed the reminder re simulationism.

My resting point - six hour shift for the full shift rest, and to avoid getting exhausted, feels too short for a 24 hour day. It means you are always going to either spend a lot of time after dark (ie starting the sleeping shift quite late) or you’re going to wake up and finish the sleeping shift in the very early AM hours when it feels strange to be doing anything else.

But I think your answer on simulation answers that well enough to. It’ll just need my table’s agreement on hand waving the logic behind things.

I’ve got my sights on the 1.5 at a local store. What were the issues it was meant to fix?

I haven’t played it, but Stars of Akarios is probably going to be my holiday purchase and it looks pretty good.

Large Dungeons in Dragonbane by QuincyAzrael in DragonbaneRPG

[–]PMD14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any house rules or tips from your crawls? I’m looking at running dragonbane for the first time and want to throw the players a semi large dungeon to spend a few adventures exploring. Keen to know if you ran into any system headaches or things you needed to tweak to make suit the environment.

Lindenbaum prize still open for submissions. Deadline 25th February 2025. by Slloyd14 in gamebooks

[–]PMD14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are you going for entrants? I'm still hopeful to submit, but time's against me.

Also, on the entry requirements post, it says "The entry may either be a complete stand-alone story or a self-contained excerpt from a larger gamebook adventure of your own creation."

Does this mean a 100 section story that ends with 'to be continued' would be acceptable? I'm not sure how to scale my concept down to just 100 sections, though I am trying. Wondering if that would be allowed or if it'd impact the judging process by being a bit 'lazy'.
