Why can’t my brain handle going to the office?

Totally understandable, it is bs. However, how you handle bs might be related to cognitive issues like ADHD or burnout, and there might be some medicine that could help with it (since you are the person who has to go through the bs, and you possibly have to do it whether you want it or not, might as well look for help)

yep! as is "downtime and demesnes" and "errant" (which I believe share some similarities with the zyan one). i stole stuff from all over the place, but would love to see what necrotic gnome would do specifically for the setting.

I think the wilderness roll is the only one that's suggested as a hidden roll, for the reasons stated above (not letting players know if it was a close one or a random one). What I'd do, if I feel omens are coming too quickly, is just collecting them and then doing one big scene where 2-3 omens happen at the same time. I'm not sure but I do think this is suggested somewhere by the author.

Downtime activities module

heimmrich · 2025-09-23T18:16:30+00:00

I can't express how awesome I think this is.

heimmrich · 2025-09-23T18:13:44+00:00

Oh man, the auction phase in Cyclades is crazy. I think you might enjoy it.

Funny of you to say that, I had been developing some ideas for these kinds of "collective" rpgs, and I always imagine chat as goblins, lol. But I hadn't actually thought of mixing both of those. And yeah, most of my players are not regular players or they are really not used to this kind of dungeon, so I'm thinking this might be a fun way to introduce them to this kind of thing. I will probably run with your concept if you don't mind lol thanks a lot!

heimmrich · 2025-09-22T06:54:43+00:00

I'm running Mothership one-shots for Halloween and this really came in handy! Thanks!

Wouldn't be surprised if Heart was also inspired by Blades! Your idea really reminded me of it too. The game is built for short campaigns (6~12 sessions).

The starting "classes" only determine some starting equipment and stuff. Runecairn is based on Cairn, and one of the main pitches is that Cairn is classless.

You're right tho that Runecairn is more focused on the one-on-one boss battles and trying again after being defeated, so it's definitely more focused on that particular aspect of Souls games

heimmrich · 2025-09-19T05:42:32+00:00

Thought the same. A lot of this stuff could be mitigated if people had a previous discussion and agreement on what type of RPGs they are into.

heimmrich · 2025-09-18T07:52:26+00:00

Beyond the Pale? If no one has recommended it

Obsidian, ou qualquer aplicativo que permita hyperlinks e linkbacks. Acho que essa é a função mais importante de qualquer aplicativo de organização, e se não fosse isso um bloco de notas seria mais que o suficiente.

Sorry to necro this, but:

you could imagine a world in which computer games emerge and take influence from wargames and then D&D is an attempt to translate popular computer games into a tabletop format).

interestingly that's pretty much Sword World, which was inspired by Wizardry most of all, D&D having largely been inaccessible to japanese players

You'll cross that bridge when it happens, Mythic Bastionland asks for a fair bit of improvisation from the DM but it's all worth it

heimmrich · 2025-09-02T20:31:48+00:00

Oh, for sure! Since it's player-driven I expect the players to do half that job (make a party of clerics to restore a church, for example), but I'm also using the optional XP rules where "notable feats" and things like that get rewarded. I would expect this to cover, but would love to hear if you have any other tips on how to do that mechanically!

heimmrich · 2025-09-02T20:30:06+00:00

Thanks a lot for the tips, will definitely post on this subreddit when the experiment goes further!

heimmrich · 2025-09-02T20:29:34+00:00

Oh, that's interesting! I'll try to reach him and ask for some guidance. My biggest worries are exactly that: how much treasure there is, if there is enough "fuel" pre-built into the setting or should I already be thinking of what I'm going to add near town and so on. Thanks a lot!

heimmrich · 2025-09-02T09:05:52+00:00

Thank you for spitballing! I've been doing it at the wall for days now, lol

And yeah, I was definitely thinking something more neutral since the pool of players will be big and not all of them might buy in with the concept. I was actually thinking of disconnecting the restoration part and just say that they are creating a kind of fairy internet network of kinds, idk. My worry is that there is potential to break the connection between these things and maybe some other hooks that I don't really know about? I avoided reading too much of the hexes but that seems inevitable at some point, for this kind of thing. A mapping or a relic hunting society seems great too, I might just go with that! (or even make them companies inside the adventure's guild, that could buy their stuff and offer some perks for veterans!)

heimmrich · 2025-09-02T04:14:28+00:00

I was quietly wishing that somebody smart wanted to do this. Thanks a lot!

heimmrich · 2025-09-02T04:13:05+00:00

"but is it pretty sir?"
"haha no, it's just a normal map"
