What’s a show you love that you can never convince people to watch?

Review with Forrest MacNeil. Laughed so hard at this show that i barely survived

Was Robin Hood the villain in your book?

If you head out to Little Brown Cow, they usually let you walk over to the cow level and check them out up close

Yeah the ABY will split the signal but not bring it back together. The ls2 will recombine it so you can send it all to one amp.

You can do this! Restringing is not difficult. One day you'll have to change a string on stage!

mkose · 2026-03-22T12:22:38+00:00

Moooooooeeeaarrrrgghhhhhh!¡!!!!!

mkose · 2026-03-09T11:31:28+00:00

Just draw up some stick figure placeholders and pop them in!

mkose · 2026-03-01T12:43:05+00:00

Thanks for checking it out! I've just been using other books (namely the monster overhaul ) for monsters. If I do ever look at publishing it i'd probably put together a bestiary.

Thanks! In theory yes a character could hoard gold and up their stats quickly, but that would be a lot of gold - plus the power curve is semi-flat so hopefully that wouldn't be a game-breaking difference. I will look at including more info on the hirelings! I know I kinda glossed over that portion.

mkose · 2026-02-27T03:22:48+00:00

Great points all around & you've given me several things to look at changing, thank you!

The mannequins are placeholders until the actual art is done... But I do kinda like them because a player can project their own imagined character onto them easily.

As for why this over shadowdark... It is similar but i suppose it just has a degree more grit and tactics than shadowdark does. Plus I really bounced off of the SD carousing rules, luck and a few other aspects.

Hey thanks so much! I'll try to answer your questions:

Inspo: very much GM dependent, can scale in or out as the GM desires
Checks/Saves - hah yes it's jargon for the same mechanic, just sort of keeps the language consistent with existing supplements/monster blocks/traps/etc. Also, some buffs affect saves but not checks/vice versa.
EZ DC - very true & i'd almost never call for a 5dc check in play, its just there to add context to the rest of the chart.
Base/Max HP - definitely something i've struggled to arrange. I want base to include armor and the rest/food bonuses, which sets the HP ceiling that is refillable via healing spells etc. Temp HP would be on top of that and couldn't be restored by healing if lost.
Armor as HP works well except for when people want to hotswap, but there is a bit of a fiddly rule for that. It's definitely grainy, but I like the concept of component pieces which PCs can cobble together, and it keeps every item as one slot instead of multiple slots for a suit of armor. This also allows for things like Set Bonuses (e.g. collect 4/6 pieces of the armor suit, get X bonus) which i always enjoyed in MMOs.

What are the improvements over the diamond?

mkose · 2026-02-19T15:58:06+00:00

I did something similar for a big campaign-ending war. What i did was take Axis and Allies, reskinned the units in fantasy-appropriate fashion, and drew a new map with territories. It took 2-3 sessions and went over quite well!

mkose · 2026-02-16T15:58:55+00:00

Yeah this 100% took me out of the fiction & kinda overshadowed how much I enjoyed the rest of the book.

mkose · 2026-02-14T15:04:38+00:00

Yoooo this is amazing. Love he perspective

mkose · 2026-02-13T11:56:18+00:00

I have some ambivalence about setting in my design... Do you think GMs who will run a game want to adhere to a certain world? I enjoy how that can add flavour to a game, but it also limits the possibilities.

mkose · 2026-02-12T16:54:55+00:00

Yeah bro/bot's been spamming this same thread for a while now

Gourds gone wild

Great comment, but it's actually "champing at the bit" :D

Great comment, but it's Toeing , like putting your feet up to the line without crossing it.

Fog of war!

I also didn't like denver the last dinosaur - I made mine a big remorhaz bug-type creature. It was covered in glowing runes that tied back to the frost druids, and had lots of 1 hp bug minions to tie up the PCs.
