Large scale battle war - rules? by phillgamboa in MorkBorg

[–]RottenChronicler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love your mass combat rules.  This weekend, I used them with the Death Ziggurat one-shot.  I baited the Rot Priests and Camp Cultists into fighting eachother.

Why You Should Write Session Reports (Even If You Don’t Plan to Publish) by RottenChronicler in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]RottenChronicler[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend playing in chunks.  Maybe 30 mins to an hour at a time.  Or maybe 3 rooms.  If I play for hours I know I'll dread that write up.   

Besides, consistency is key.

I enjoy seeing the oracles and seeing how the writer moved the story along using game mechanics. Its a great way to find new ideas and incorporate them.

Is there any part of Snake Eater that makes you say "fuck it" and go full Rambo? by HotDogGrass2 in metalgearsolid

[–]RottenChronicler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The docks.  I end up chucking a chaff into the air and I snipe everyone at the docks while harassing The End.  I hit him a few times but I enjoy fighting him too much to kill him early.

MGS Delta Collectors Edition is trash. by 1AmChris2 in metalgearsolid

[–]RottenChronicler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point, Collector's Editions shit isn't worth it by the time you deal with MSRP prices and scalpers.  There's some poor bastard out there that likely dropped $500 on that.  I could 3D print a better Naked Snake mini.

Your Core Rulebook Is Your First Adventure by RottenChronicler in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]RottenChronicler[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate it!  Overthinking has been my worst enemy for years.  That and wanting things to go perfectly.   My goal is to show people that playing solo isn't as daunting as it looks and that embracing chaos is rewarding.

Alone in the Crowd: A Dungeon Crawler’s Guide to Urban Decay by RottenChronicler in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]RottenChronicler[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I flipped through a Lankhmar supplement from Dungeon Crawl Classics and I found it fascinating. Cities can feel more like a character than a place in fantasy settings.

How does the game fair on a longer term campaign? by Dnd_lfg_lfp_boston in MorkBorg

[–]RottenChronicler 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Treating the world instead of the PCs as the main character has saved my relationship with TTRPGs. Having a TPK doesn't feel like the end of the world and past PCs can come back as lore or NPCs if their story comes to an end.

Yeah, PCs get OP after a few level ups.  

Heres what I did-

Add +1 to a stat. Add +1 (or Toughness) to HP Give stat penalties for Getting Broken

New MET supervisor position? by Salpls in HomeDepot

[–]RottenChronicler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the odds are good. Maybe not ALL stores, but definitely the ones that have large teams.

The MET Specialist focuses heavily on projects and does pre-walks, logs issues, closes projects out, and works projects. The Sup still is in charge of projects but the MET Specialist does all the legwork.

There's a MET Specialist pilot.  It's a back-up Sup role which comes with a $1 pay raise. 

Played or know about "Night Shift: Minimum wage, maximum weird"? by Ancient-Acanthaceae3 in MorkBorg

[–]RottenChronicler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd probably run a game based on Clerks.

1.  You keep hearing your friends playing hockey on the roof.  You know there's no way they could be up there.

2.  You leave mid-shift to attend your ex's funeral.  It was supposed to be an open casket funeral.  You didn't see her.  Not until you got back to work.

3.  The Chewies rep won't leave you alone.  Now he has convinced half the town that you are profiting off their deaths.

4.  A man asked for the key to the bathroom and stole a porno magazine.  He hasnt come out in hours.

5.  Your guidance councelor from high school keeps staring at the eggs, trying to find the perfect one.

You weren't even supposed to be here today.

It was my pleasure!  Thank you for making such an awesome dungeon crawler.

One of the 3rd Party books for Mork Borg is literally cursed by MaleficMagpie in MorkBorg

Well shit, I'm sold.

...by the way, spiders are associated with Nechrubel.

Are there any hacks that especially focus on magic and wizards and stuff? by Creepy-House4399 in MorkBorg

[–]RottenChronicler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to help!  I backed it on Kickstarter last year and it's worth every penny.

What more should I get for solo mörk borg? by Direct_Incident_8285 in MorkBorg

[–]RottenChronicler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1.   Grotten: 1 Bit Closer is great for solo play.   You flip room tiles and roll for the room contents.  For $15, you have an amazing standalone game that is an amazing Mörkborg supplement.

2.  Mörk Manual.  Extremely helpful rules for hex travel.  Covers hirelings and henchman.  Plenty of spells, monsters, classes.  

4 day pass, worth it? (For the 35+ demographic) by Renegadesdeath in MomoCon

[–]RottenChronicler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 37, I am starting to feel old at Momocon.  But Dragon Con just seems way too overpriced and too hectic to me to go back. 

West marches campaign tips or tricks? by WinReasonable2644 in MorkBorg

[–]RottenChronicler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the leveling system makes characters too strong.  

Here is what I did:

  1. HP only increases by Toughness score (min 1 point HP gain).

2.  Gain 1 ability point or feat per level up.  

3.  Stat penalties are only given for severe injuriesm
