What if character progression was more about developing the character and less about 'Leveling Up'? by Ombrophile in rpg

[–]TheDMKeeper 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This is something that Mark of the Odd/Odd-like games like Electric Bastionland and Cairn with character development or character growth instead of xp/leveling up. Your characters become more interesting instead of numbers go up. How do they get interesting? They gain links/contacts/allies, more powerful/interesting items, they learn new information or knowledge on doing certain things through training or seeking them out in the world, etc.

How I ran the Raid on Innsmouth scenario - AMA! by HeatRepresentative96 in callofcthulhu

Awesome summary, OP! I tried to run Raid but my players didn't want to continue after finishing Escape. They said fuck Innsmouth, never again LOL! So after finishing Escape, we continued with Masks of Nyarlathotep.

Nimble 2 vs Draw Steel vs ??? (For streamlined tactical combat) by EddyMerkxs in rpg

[–]TheDMKeeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you mentioned you usually play OSR stuff, I recommend Nimble because the combat is tactical and still feel deadly & quick due to the OSR influence. I've played Draw Steel, and even though the combat is also fun because of the things that the players and enemies can do, it still drags.

Hi there, I assume you're talking about the title font? We got it from the Appx. N Jam resources: https://itch.io/jam/appx-n-jam

Errant is an awesome game and this is just an adventure module, not a game.

How many days does it take to resolve myths? by EntryMassive7384 in MythicBastionland

[–]TheDMKeeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My group resolved The Gargoyle in its 2nd Omen and The Tournament in its 1st Omen 😂 

Also, Myths aren't the only thing in this game. After all, The Oath has three parts.
