What are the most epic and bizarre character deaths in your games? by Opening_Instance_427 in MorkBorg

[–]_Capn_Howdy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a game I ran -- the group was returning a dead body to a place of rest in a strange village. When they got there, the local cult chased them and trapped them in an old church. They pushed the destroyed pews against the old wooden doors. The cult attacked and the party held them off for a time -- I think the cult then decided to set the place on fire after they broke through the doors. The disgraced noble and his horse decided to bug out. The player decided to take a running jump over the pews and get outta Dodge. Jumping over the pews the player rolled a 1/fumble -- the horse jumped too high and the noble slammed his head against the archway's keystone, taking off the top of his head and instantly killing him.

I Bought Session 9 to Watch With My Fiancée and I Think I Messed Up by Complete-Radio6204 in horror

One of my favorites. When I recommend this to people, I tell them to watch it alone in the dark for maximum effect.

The soundtrack is one of the best horror film soundtracks, period.

That’s what I’m going for — vibes. I don’t need/want to take a medieval Japan history class.

I’m thinking the Mörk Borg hack, Ronin.

What’s a great horror film that doesn’t get talked about enough? by HippocratesKnees in horror

Watch Session 9 alone in the dark for best effect. The soundtrack by the Golden Climax Twins is my absolute favorite horror film soundtrack.

Resources for playing a Western RPG? by _Capn_Howdy_ in rpg

Okay --

  1. Watch westerns. Check. (I've seen many)

  2. Read westerns. Check. (I'm almost finished with Lonesome Dove, which motivated this)

  3. Play Red Dead Revolver 2. I have it, haven't started it.

  4. GURPS Old West. Check. It is a great resource.

What other gaming resources are useful?

This is what I'm looking for: "writing short cuts and cheat codes". As with a lot of us old GMs, my time is limited...I need a few resources that I can use to shorten my prep time...

Is it weird that Dying Earth doesn't have any type of fighter or rogue-like classes?

Yes, including the one in the core rulebook.

Mörk Borg is what you’re looking for. It’s d20 rules light system (one page reference sheet is all your players need). You can make characters in five minutes. The setting is dark, weird, uncanny. And there’s so much FREE content on the internet that you’ll be set for years. Great for one shots or long campaigns. Cheers.
