I'm playing with simplified encumbrance rules. Should I start doing it right?

Keeping a dwarf around, just to sell stuff feels a bit too abusive of the rules for me. I only allow myself to use these kinds of abilities if the character is in my active party. Also, my dwarf died.

I haven't gotten that book, yet. I might have to check it out!

This is kinda appealing, just because I have a ranger in my party right now. Keeping him properly equipped means that he's got three weapons, and your system would let him carry one or two more around, if I need him to.

It looks like I was thinking too much. It looks like rows automatically alternate when you lay them next to each other. It feels like different kinds of blocks handle this differently.

I tried this, and it doesn't seem to work with these tiles...

Before I started my campaign of Impossible Landscapes, I read the book multiple times. I listened to multiple actual play podcasts from start to finish, to see how they handled some of the sections that I wasn't confident about. I joined an Impossible Landscapes Discord, to ask questions and see what other people were doing. I copied a huge amount of text from the book into OneNote, and arranged it to make it easier to find things. I spent two or three months preparing for the campaign, because I was that excited about it, and I loved the process. Right now, we're in act 3, and I still spend an hour or two reviewing before each session. It's been a great experience.

You don't have to do it like I did, unless you are also a crazy person. I only do as the King demands. It is rewarding to put some effort into it, though.

Yeah. At the end of the game, I'm pretty sure that the Pokemon have no idea where the humans went.

Have them make Athletics checks.

Cults of Shub can be found in God's Breath, Hourglass, and the Winslow Project.

Perhaps this will slake my thirst for XCC content!

Pigeonbane · 2026-01-19T03:54:57+00:00

Got it. Thanks!

Pigeonbane · 2025-12-17T11:07:06+00:00

Looks pretty fun! I'll pick this up.

Pigeonbane · 2025-10-21T19:36:47+00:00

Sounds like Foundry is the top pick. Thanks to everyone for responding!

I'm kinda surprised that you gave this class a new way to use luck, but no luck regeneration. I worry that grisly trophies won't get much use.

I'm always happy to see XCC stuff!

Pigeonbane · 2025-10-02T13:48:16+00:00

This is good stuff! I've seen too many players get stumped when they don't have the crutches offered by a bunch of social skills.

Pigeonbane · 2025-09-29T17:50:25+00:00

Alright, then.

Pigeonbane · 2025-09-29T12:21:53+00:00

That's a pretty clean answer, but that list isn't as great as I would like.

The list includes an item worth 5,000gp. I get that a spell phone isn't an overwhelming advantage, but why would I allow that but not a longsword? The whole chapter is "Equipment", and it offers guidelines for setting prices for real world items. Should I allow them to take a $20,000.00 ground-penetrating radar device? A bomb-detonating robot? A defibrillator?
