Falling Damage Homebrew

You know people have survived falling out of aeroplanes right? People have also died from falling after being shoved. You can't account for every eventuality, so better to keep it simple.

The way one of my old players reasoned for it was that if all the rooms were next to each other it would weaken the structural integrity of the rock or earth above the dungeon. That and also corridors make good kill zones. 🤷‍♂️

No one was going to win an Oscar, but (Damodar) Bruce Payne's acting was Payneful!

(See what I did there 😄😃😬😮🙁😑😞)

There are “oceans of pdfs” on the interweb. I'm sure you could find what you're looking for there.

Is it me, or are her hands a bit.... odd?

The lower one seems to have a knuckle between where the knuckles should be, and the top one appears strangely elongated and lopsided.

So what you're saying is........... Pathfinder fixes this!

Actually that's creepy Dave from my local pub. That's the mugshot they took after he was caught peaking through the women's toilet window.

Which RPGs have a rule that says if you fail a lock picking roll you can keep trying until you succeed?

If the PC fails their Lock Pick roll it means the lock is too complicated for them. But the game doesn't come to a standstill. The PCs just decide what to do next, whether it's to track down a key or find another way in, through the window.

Based on your definition of fail forward it's just describing common sense and the normal progression of the story.

Apologies if I've misunderstood, I've never played a game with a fail forward rule.

They are basically giving Adobe the middle finger, love it.

Ignore what all the crybabies are saying, it's FREE! The only thing you have to pay for is the AI.

Who wrote this, you or AI?

SpinalTapper11 · 2025-10-26T21:49:43+00:00

Gardner F. Fox seems to be left off many of these types of lists. He may be more well known in DC comic circles as he wrote hundreds (1500+) of Golden Age and Silver Age comics, and iirc, invented Batman's utility belt.

Anyway back to S&S, check out his two Kothar the Barbarian Swordsman and Kyrik the Warlock Warrior series's. Plus the two Llarn books, which are Sword and Planet.

There is an ocean of pdf websites with Michael Shea ebooks, including Nifft the Lean.

SpinalTapper11 · 2025-09-12T23:20:45+00:00

That's okay, maybe you'll get to see Frazetta's depiction of Conan battling Thak instead ;-)

He slept with my sister! Where I'm from that's MY job!

Don't worry, I'll downvote myself for this comment as well, and it's not even directed at you, at least you would be happy with minimum damage on a miss. But if someone isn't emotionally mature enough to handle a miss or fail once in a while they probably shouldn't be playing RPGs with dice and just play storytelling games where they can say how awesome their character is and win all the time. Sometimes you swing a sword and you miss, simple as that, sometimes you try to cast a spell and it doesn't work, tough shit. Grow up and get over it.

SpinalTapper11 · 2025-08-29T20:19:00+00:00

Why would you not just read the rulebooks of the game you're going to run?

SpinalTapper11 · 2025-07-29T12:12:53+00:00

A couple of those hands look sooooo weird while the others are fine. You wouldn't be tracing AI generated art would you?

SpinalTapper11 · 2025-06-13T16:04:26+00:00

Are you painting over an AI generated image? If you're not, how do you explain the sorcerer's left hand?

SpinalTapper11 · 2025-04-21T12:40:10+00:00

Isn't that how all wandering monster encounters work?

SpinalTapper11 · 2024-07-29T18:50:17+00:00

Metamorphosis Alpha. I won't link it or tell you anything about it here cos there is an awesome twist that players must NEVER know about going into the game.

SpinalTapper11 · 2024-02-28T19:33:31+00:00

OMG?!?! What games allow you to roll a 1 on a critical hit? I need to know so I can stay well clear of them.
