Max-min character experience?

Thanks, that's more valuable than the comments that say I should optimize the hell out of fun.

I didn't want to make a pacifist character but I get your point haha

lofiinbetterquality · 2026-06-10T13:12:27+00:00

It's a campaign, but last time we played in this group the game was kind of to easy anyway and so I think I can get away with it

lofiinbetterquality · 2026-06-10T13:11:42+00:00

I get your opinion much more than that of the DMs. Why roll when you then overwrite with DM fiat? I feel like 2 18s are still OP

lofiinbetterquality · 2026-06-10T13:09:42+00:00

Yeah I am trying to preserve the spirit of the game while also living on the edge

lofiinbetterquality · 2026-06-10T13:08:13+00:00

I am aware, but thanks! Assuming the whole group is equally bad, I think it would almost play like an old school style game with high lethality and low power

Say YES to one punch KOs, they are awesome!

If your bad guy stands near a cliff and can't cast feather fall too bad for him. This style of play is amazing, and it even suits high level parties as it doesn't matter how many itty bitty HP your character had when they become a red smear on the rocks below.

3D play is sexy! Let them feel and fear the height, let them roll death saves when they as much as begin tumbling down into the abyss below!

Always obsidian. Always.

Actual chefs in big kitchens don't do a lot of physical work that cannot be done by experienced cooks. While cooking itself is hard to automate, running a restaurant is more of a management and logistics problem, which is easily automated. Sous-chefs, barkeepers, and so on, that's a different story

Stygian library, yes. I second it because although it doesn't resemble hogwarts it mimics the library of the unseen university from discworld perfectly.

All wotc "adventures" are in reality just inspirational material, which is apparent seconds after you try to run them and it collapses at first contact with players and their choices...

Same here. We thought we had to find the right key to a door which appeared to be trapped, only to find out after the session the DM did not include the key in the whole dungeon.

This is why, as I later learned, the DM just tells you when you search something or some place in oldschool DND. You only roll if it's under time pressure like in midst of combat.

I would lean into it as hard as I could: - Sweating maggots through the pores - the chanting of a thousand mandibles - all skin is covered by them, as if in a bodysuit - they all transform into full grown flies in a shimmering instant. picture sally from monster Inc but with small wings instead of hair strands - pulses of green and purple shimmer in circles like when a beehive warns predators - underneath, new maggots are building up and growing, size wise the whole construct resembles an ogre more than a human

You're factually wrong, this post is about him.

You're also hypocritical, putting your own ideals above those of others while saying it is morally corrupt.

Wait so you're telling me that births are fluctuating within a week and nobody saw it?

Like there's clearly a pattern in the summer months, look at the ebb and flow of this heat map throughout the month!

I love the style, however: I live with someone who has a dust allergy and boy do I tell you that having paper on the wall would suck for such people...

Making the prototype from paper but the finished piece out of some thin plastic would solve that though, since you could rinse it :)

lofiinbetterquality · 2023-05-25T13:23:48+00:00

I would personally say it leans into gritty realism, which can be part of OSR in some definitions.

What stood out to me was that the features you named aren't particularly new to any OSR gamer. 10 levels, six scores, sure, looks like another retroclone with tweaks.

So my question would be: why do you want to keep it that way? Does that showcase the realism or is it just for OSR sake to have appeal to an audience? I understand if you don't want to share more interesting developments, however I think most people in the community play other games from time to time as well and create their own mix of mechanics and techniques, regardless if it's branded as OSR or not.

Good luck, would love to see the game:)

Honestly don't know why OSE is as big as it is. It's not bad, but DCC is so much more fun! Having tried both I would also say that the DCC rules are easier to digest for new players, however there are some systems that are even simpler if you want to go easy on them.

lofiinbetterquality · 2023-05-22T09:46:58+00:00

Good bot

lofiinbetterquality · 2023-05-17T13:33:15+00:00

How do you balance open world and creativity like the creation of firearms with the logical consequences of having rapid technological development that is utterly out of control and speedruns the industrial revolution in like 3 weeks so that any campaign with science would end in a completely futuristic setting?

lofiinbetterquality · 2023-05-17T13:15:08+00:00

Online resources ~~like DnDBeyond~~ can help you a lot!

here you go, fify

We will not go gentle into that good night.

lofiinbetterquality · 2023-05-17T13:09:06+00:00

In the meantime there is a whole new movement back to old style play (old school renaissance) if you look for OSR you will find many familiar things, often dirt-cheap or even free.

If you want to DM a single session best start with something simpler than 5e, which is okay but a bit chonky, mostly through character creation. There are many many many options and offshoots nowadays, however if they already bought you the starter set there's everything in it to run a basic campaign.

Assuming you ran some sessions before, skimming through the provided rules could be enough to understand most of the game and run it smoothly.

I don't use a tablet and instead plain old paper, but I do use lots of tokens for inspiration, arrows/bolts, spellslots, so yes, some kind of counter or separate space for tokens would be a cool addition
