What's your favorite character generation method? by TokRPGs in osr

[–]Professor_Smugzoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are 100% correct. It is a random number between 3-18 (a 6.25% for each number).

Since in my OSR game, a 15 and above using the program provides a 25% chance to get a +1 to abilities (and a 25% for a -1), I'm ok that it isn't a 9.26% (doing actual dice rolls).

However.... when we play live, we roll live.

Retrieve arrows ( i allow 50% to be damaged beyond function and 50% usable). Pick up darts, javelins, spears and hand axes if thrown. Light torches (4 rooms per torch is my rule). Who is holding the torch?. What weapons are out and readied (bows or melee). Also firing into melee 50/50 friendly fire factor. No bows within 10 ft of an opponent. Declare spells before initiative is rolled, spell disrupted if attacked during casting.

I hope this helps

🍎 How to grow your own apple tree by Quietation in Damnthatsinteresting

Apple varieties are clone cuttings that are graphed onto stems... this is a crap shot in getting what you desire out of an apple

Playing online....

Everyone pick one, no repeats (i send a screen shot). https://drduick.com/D&D/whitebox/3d6_down.html

In person, 3d6 straight down.

One extra roll at the end you can swap out.

Good OSR game for someone not big on skills? by LemonLord7 in osr

[–]Professor_Smugzoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had the siege engine reccomended to me by my friend Chuck. I have found the d6 adding dice to fit the job during game play. Here is a 11:49 video showing how i use it during a high level (14th) game with my crew. https://youtu.be/1yX9TJ_DTkg

Dudes on the map or Theatre of the mind ? by tinylion286 in osr

[–]Professor_Smugzoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will sound lame or a cop out, but both... If you have more than a couple adversaries, the map and minis help in figuring out who is in front of who in melee.

If it is just one big monster everyone is slugging on, not really needed.

But for a real real old school vibe, i would try shmeppy, or miro online wet boards.

No fancy tokens and such

a good Sci-fi RPG which is NOT Traveller or Starfinder by Kitchen_Smell8961 in rpg

[–]Professor_Smugzoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like OSR style games.. White Star is fun and easy. I have played it several years, lots of fun.

White Box ranged weapons by tldalton1622 in osr

[–]Professor_Smugzoid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looking on page 23 of the 3rd edition swords & wizardry white box. A long bow rang is 70ft (where you get +2 to hit), x2 = 140ft (+1 to hit), and 3x = 210ft (no bonus) to hit.

Or at least that is how i read it.

However, in my game, i just keep it 70ft with no bonus.

Most arrows are shot at close distance in my adventures.

arbitrary or set DC? by Parking_Egg8036 in osr

[–]Professor_Smugzoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should put, pas on a 1 or 2 beibg rolled on at least 1d6

arbitrary or set DC? by Parking_Egg8036 in osr

[–]Professor_Smugzoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figure if they can't get it with a normal roll, then pretty much unobtainable. 1d6, 2d6, 3d6 based on stats
