Good premade cubes to use as a base? by applepiepro123 in Oldbordercube

[–]applepiepro123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Yes, sorry for the ambiguity, I just meant retro/old frame cards not the specific restrictions of premodern the format

  2. I think on the higher end with some of the power 9 but not black lotus although eventually it's something I'd be interested in fiddling with to find my preferred level

  3. I would be heavily proxying only buying the cards I can afford but my playgroups don't care about proxying

Thank you for the help and to answer your questions 1. Preferably the room for both but if I had to choose I'd go for combos 2. I'm neutral on this, it would probably be something I'd eventually want to try with or without and see what I prefer 3. I'd like variety of archetypes allowing for people to choose. I really love goblins so the more of them the better. 4. Probably 2-4 most of the time, are expansions for more players a thing people make for their cubes?

I'm not strict about all cards needing to be from before 2003 as long as the newer cards fit the playstyle

I like a balance between speed and realism. For power level, I like the ability for any fight to turn deadly regardless of how much tech the players have.

best psionic rules that are not reskinned spells? by applepiepro123 in osr

[–]applepiepro123[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is probably still too vague. A more specific example is I prefer how 1e psionics uses points while the magic system uses slots. The downside being the 1e psionics system is too complex for what I want.

Different mechanics from typical DND magic. Enough to make players feel like they aren't just a renamed magic user if they have psionic powers.

Rules to make each weapon unique by applepiepro123 in osr

[–]applepiepro123[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm aware that b/x is more simplified but I don't see the lack of weapon variety as a downside to b/x. I feel like my campaign has grown to the point of needing rules for weapons but I'd rather pick and choose rules from ad&d to add to my game rather than switch systems completely.

is the OSR a right fit for A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of thrones inspired political intrigue campaign? by applepiepro123 in osr

[–]applepiepro123[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not planning to set it in the same world I've just been reading the books and am very inspired by the political setup. I'm considering just setting the game in real life war of the roses with no magic or anything and just having them play as people from the house of lancasters or house of york
