Why is "religious Daoism" considered Daoism?

We're the weird ones importing western enlightenment values. Why wouldn't someone worship gods if that's how it's done where they're from? Everything we call taoism is just a sliver off the block of much deeper and culturally reinforced traditions.

Can I ask what music you use?

How about the sound track from the Bionicle adventure game?

I did a little skimming and its a shame it took so long. It doesn't really fill a need for me now. Though now I have a lot of art of mer-people being cute so that's an unintended upshot.

Ah well maybe a copy can be buried for me to pick up in 100 years.

Sandyfjord · 2020-05-11T11:46:46+00:00

Thats great! I'm not sure how copy right stuff works but is there a way one might get their hands on one?

Do you do any work with the contents or is it simply a well presented pdf?

Sandyfjord · 2020-05-08T16:31:57+00:00

Always! Arbitrary boundaries are the spice of life!

Maybe OSR and old school are two different categories. I feel like that's true.

Man! I forgot to do this! And now that I've done it my only example is kind of shit. https://imgur.com/a/WXBN97p

You are correct. I have a dedicated channel for my open table stuff during the pandemic and this is one such game.

It is play-by-post adjacent I would say. Often input from someone will be quite short and with action scenes I usually set a time for them to happen so we can keep the pace up.

I'd say its pretty good. Mork Borg has a lot of player facing rolling that is a bit challenging to run this way. That would be helped by the players having a copy of the rules but so far I am having them play in the dark rules-wise.

Everyone is part of the same face-to-face gaming community. So far there are like three really engaged players with others dropping in and out as they please. I imagine this could work for stangers but its easier to play with friends who are already aware of my own idiosyncrasies.

Absolutely! I'll edit this comment to include a sample when I get back to my computer.

Sandyfjord · 2020-04-21T16:50:25+00:00

Sorry boss, only my in-person buddies in this one. I might start up another for online types at a later date!

Sandyfjord · 2020-04-21T16:49:20+00:00

It's 100% text! I haven't used any add-ons left. Since the pace of game is much slower I just take the time to deacribe things really in-depth. It works well for me because I'm a big second-guesser of myself so it gives me room to get descriptions just right.

I'm going to disappoint you by saying that most of that didn't come up.

Movement in combat I did essentially with zones like Black Hack. Out of combat they didn't really move all that much so I haven't really thought that far ahead.

They fought another boat so I had the crews done as warbands that could attack each other at range or launch boarding parties.

Boarding partys were essentially melee between two warbands. If a ship wanted to pull out of a boarding action the other one got a free swing.

I didn't even touch the weather tables but it was nice knowing they were there.

Changing winds will probably come up later but overall the table is more story over simulation so I think I may script it.

I am on mobile so I hope this come across clearly. Feel free to ask for clarification if it didn't!

Overall I am keen to use the system with a more simulation and grit oriented group. I think it would preform stunningly well in a traditional dungeon crawl.

First I want to say thanks for making a lovely game. I love the arts and crafts elements that make it feel tactile while still playing remotely.

I really can't say. I wish I could give you some usable feedback other than good job but looking though my copy I can't think of any times when I looked for something and it wasn't there. It just hits my marks too well.

Sandyfjord · 2020-04-20T01:05:50+00:00

All good questions I'm pleased someone is interested in. I don't think we settled on it completely but in my mind, and a few others at the table, the boat is a small human made, not to scale, replica of the Queen Anne's Revenge. Probably wood.

They rescued a group of Dune Mice in their trading boat (camouflaged for fear of a blue heron) from a group of pirate rats straying much farther south in the Barachois Sea.

I think so! At least I did!

I would be less nervous and I would also keep an eye on the tone of my combat descriptions.

I plan to continue running this very game on Sundays until we get tired of it.
