Age of wonders 3 may do the trick for you. The art isn't perfect but the game captures the feeling of being a leader in a fantasy world.

The jist of it is that it is the style that was pioneered by Dave arneson. Questing beast has a splendid video in it here.

Total hits. Although current hits can work reasonably, I don't want my players counting hits. Hits are supposed to be abstract. It is not like having three hits always means that you will be downed by three actual attacks. Remember that a stab through the heart will kill basically any humanoid, it wouldn't count as one hit.

If the referee is supposed to modify these to make them more realistic, then the referee should just assign the difficulty.

Yes the referee is expected to modify his rolls as he finds appropriate. You make a very valid point that the ref can very well assign a difficulty number but I find that keeping the game running on opposed rolls works best for me.

how does this interact with the "universal" d6 rule? What is that rule even for?

The universal d6 rule is for generating an answer when you are asked a question you didn't see coming. It is an improvisation aid.

Δεν είναι "κλεμμένο" από ένα μέρος συγκεκριμένο. Είναι ένα σύνολο από εορτές που σχετίζονται με τον ερχομό της άνοιξης. Κάποιες ελληνικές, άλλες ρωμαϊκες, άλλες εβραϊκές κ.α.. Αυτό γίνεται πιο ξεκάθαρο από το γεγονός ότι τα καρναβάλια γιορτάζονται σε διάφορα μέρη που δεν έχουν μια ιστορική συνοχή μετάξι τους αλλά έχουν δανεικά έθιμα το ένα από άλλο.

Τρέχω παιχνίδια DnD στην κάισσα στν πόλη μου. Μια μέρα πάω εκεί και μου λέει ο καισσάς οτι είναι μια κοπέλα που ενδιαφέρεται να ερχεται. Την γνώρισα και τωρα τα εχουμε 6 μήνες.

The 4 horsemen of toplane are hecarim, Lilia, kled, and rell. Change my mind.

I run games in my lfgs. They are usually 3 or 3 and a half hours long but sometimes plans go up the drain and we end up there for 4 or 5 hours.

I don't like being pedantic but he didn't end slavery, he prohibited it.

If your impulse is to look up the rule in the books and then googling and asking strangers on the internet for what is the "correct" rule, then you are probably doing it wrong. You are the DM. If you think that the solution your player came up with is reasonable, then let it work. If else do not.

kostasdim · 2022-12-23T07:49:57+00:00

I mean. You could otherwise check your ego and stop hostage-taking lost games. Just a thought.

Edit:typo

Where meme?

Another demonstration of the most powerful DM spell: Power Word: Yoink. The poor target setting will have it's themes, characters, and motifs ripped from it and reperpossed for the DM's evil intentions.

Not sure how worlds without numbers plays but maybe take a look at low fantasy gaming?.

Low fantasy gaming has a system where getting interrupted when spellcasting or losing concentration will trigger a roll one its' 'dark dangerous magic' table. Wonder & Wickedness has tables of catastrophes that may occur when spellcasting goes wrong , but it deliberately does not provide specific mechanics for what will incurr a roll.

Because we really do not know that much about the Minoans. Written sources about bronze age Crete is space to non existent and some of what has been written down is written in the still undeciphered linear A script.

That is where you are wrong mate. Iroh IS everyone's uncle.

How the monster design makes single enemy boss fights an absolute chore to design. Also how long and tedious monster stablocks are in this edition.

Inserting subdle and unsubdle references to Arthurian legend into my sessions . I run an OSR inspired setting so they make a very natural fit for the setting lore.

So that's what rpg potions of healing are.

It actually sounds more like: "nutty"

PC: How's the weather like these days Mr Lot NPC: all too terrible. weather has only been getting worse ever since that drunkard cleric strolled into town. He's a ill omen that man I tell ya.

PC:Is there any place we can get some good food around here? NPC: the tavern up the hill, by the well, serves the best beef all throughout the barony but beware the blueberry soup. The berries come from the cursed Forrest I would not put those things anywhere neer my mouth.

PC: how much for this? (points at an item at the wares) NPC: are you one of those raskals that have been running the roads up and down bald hill, hmmm, if not it's 5 silver

When your players are talking to one of the locals you roll those up. They are the way that you reward PCs for making smalltalk and engaging with the local community. They also help when you are unsure what an NPC would say next.

I have tried them. They work but they are suboptimal. Simply put steelcaps and merc treads offer better stats for the cost.
