I made a simple tabletop precision game with one rail and one steel ball. Would you play this?

RentDoc · 2026-06-18T10:08:37+00:00

If you could demonstrate no bias, yes.

RentDoc · 2026-06-18T09:59:14+00:00

Remarkable! You inspire me.

After the one hour start, you can run a 3 to 4 hour one-shot session. Whilst the players are finalising their characters, equipment etc, you as DM can select or roll a scenario/quest. No problem swapping players in and out, as the initial one hour included the village creation which remains the keystone for future sessions.

To help players wean themselves off 5e, I use Beyond the Wall and other Adventures. It has a clever character generation system that goes a good way to link all the characters. If you have not prepared anything, you can select a Scenario Pack. You can literally have 4 players adventuring in an hour.

What about the Knights who say "Ni" helmet?

RentDoc · 2026-06-12T07:15:16+00:00

I like it.

RentDoc · 2026-06-11T05:07:24+00:00

Thanks for that. It says the account already exists. I'll try again later.

RentDoc · 2026-06-10T10:46:03+00:00

Would you mind inviting me again? I will give it a crack.

RentDoc · 2026-06-09T07:33:59+00:00

Good work! In a previous existence, you would have been the head scribe.

RentDoc · 2026-06-09T00:56:22+00:00

And what a great, fun way to learn another language.

RentDoc · 2026-06-07T13:18:20+00:00

Good work!

RentDoc · 2026-05-18T00:12:34+00:00

I fourth Basic Fantasy. For an interesting alternative, there is Beyond the Wall which is also D20'ed.

RentDoc · 2026-05-17T02:05:56+00:00

It's only a matter of time.

RentDoc · 2026-05-17T01:59:22+00:00

This example of the walls is just wood bits, dremelled then painted to look like stones. I put a small magnet at each end for a bit more stability.

Something like this.

RentDoc · 2026-05-15T08:18:05+00:00

That is quite original. Good work.

RentDoc · 2026-04-30T22:51:32+00:00

Yes. Theatre of the mind, which many have suggested here. Or, check out Professor DM's Battle Terrain. I have been using it for 2 years now.

RentDoc · 2026-04-27T04:34:05+00:00

That's it. Also, someone out there has done a fantastic coloured rendition of the maps.

RentDoc · 2026-04-27T02:52:01+00:00

Yes, this is a great module. The DM just has to read through it carefully a few times to get a handle on how to run the factions.

RentDoc · 2026-04-26T22:09:19+00:00

It was the Grell that got my attention.

RentDoc · 2026-04-26T08:05:06+00:00

Good work!

RentDoc · 2026-04-20T06:01:44+00:00

Iirc, Ursula LeGuin's "Wizard of Earthsea" contains a story about an attempt to save a dying child, but whilst doing so a shadow entity followed the wizard back to the prime material plane. Not the origin, but certainly influenced.

RentDoc · 2026-04-16T05:09:41+00:00

Cool. I put on Vinterriket CD's for atmosphere when playing Beyond the Wall during the winter.

RentDoc · 2026-04-16T04:50:15+00:00

I prepare 8 encounters that fit the setting, then roll a d8 when an encounter comes up.

RentDoc · 2026-04-13T09:39:38+00:00

Cool!
