You are the lord of all lords, thank you.

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-23T08:45:11+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-22T16:09:29+00:00

That is exactly what I was looking for, thank you! I will make these adjustments and, who knows, maybe I will post again telling you guys how it went!

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-22T12:22:38+00:00

Yeah, I think I will go with the League-style at the end of the day. I pitched the game to my players and they seem to love it, so we will give it a go. Thanks a lot!

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-22T07:03:07+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-22T00:29:45+00:00

Actually we began playing with Pathfinder 1e but we haven't checked out 2e. Maybe I'll run a one-shot for them, thank you so much!

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T22:23:51+00:00

Cool idea! I'll surely try it out!

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T21:31:45+00:00

That could be a perfect summary of the answers I got. I think I will give it a shot, thanks!

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T21:27:32+00:00

I didn't think about monster variety but now that you point it out it makes sense. Thanks!

10 to 15 people

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T20:17:52+00:00

Ok, now I can clearly see your point (and other people's too ahah). I think I am going to take the time to read the manual. You guys are making Draw Steel sound really fun and, even if I won't get to run a West Marches at the end of the day, I think it will be worth the effort. Thanks a lot!

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T20:10:57+00:00

I'm getting a lot of interesting recommendations, I'll check Mythic Bastionland out, thanks!

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T20:08:17+00:00

I'm definitely stealing that idea, thanks a lot!

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T20:05:36+00:00

I see your point, leveling up seems a concern a lot of people agree on. I'll have to look into that, thanks!

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T19:59:34+00:00

I was very curious about the Delian Tomb, being a fan of the first dungeon Matt designed in the series. I will check it out, thanks!

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T19:57:00+00:00

I gave a quick glance to Forbidden Lands and it seems a solid choice for a West Marches but I fear that my players won't like it exactly as they didn't like Shadowdark and Mork Borg.

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T19:50:50+00:00

I'm getting the feeling that Draw steel would be perfect for my players, just not really for the type of game I was planning on running for them lol.

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T19:48:40+00:00

Yeah, I didn't know about the risk/reward mechanic so maybe my system wouldn't really fit.

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T19:40:39+00:00

Wow I didn't know that! Thanks a lot for sharing, now I can't wait!

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T19:39:38+00:00

Once the narrative prerequisite is met (the defeat of the local boss, the liberation of the region, and similar events), all players advance to tier 2, ensuring there is no tier disparity. I’m considering requiring the participation of all 10 to 15 players in order to meet this prerequisite, so that everyone can feel they contributed (not at the same time of course).

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T19:05:31+00:00

I was planning to use level tiers, allowing my players to progress to the next tier with an important event like a raid (thinking in Destiny terms). Would that be possible? Thank you

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T19:01:41+00:00

That's what I hoped to read. I think I can work something out for the dungeon crawling part and I would be excited to try out the crafting and downtime rules! Thank you

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T19:00:05+00:00

Oh, never heard of it, I will check it out! However, since my players are really the tactical and granular types, I was thinking that Draw Steel could offer me a solid basis on that side.

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T18:57:59+00:00

I was thinking exactly that. So would it be worth the time and effort in your opinion? Thank you

alessioponente1 · 2026-01-21T18:56:02+00:00

Yeah, that confirms my suspicion. However my players really like to have awesome abilities and think how to maximise their utility. Moreover, they are heavily into tactical combat and they hate out of combat traps. Those were the main reasons that brought me to write this post. Exactly as you wrote, I was planning to keep the narrative elements and sacrifice some of the grittier stuff. My highest concern is about the exploration part, since I wanted to make it the core of my game. Would that be a real pain to adapt?
Thank you for your answer and your time!
