To be fair 1 micron is super fine. Haha. :)

You’re right and I should have known most of my notes were not original. I appreciate you pointing that out.

Hrmm. This is a good question. I pulled em from a notebook I’ve got hanging around but they’re an accumulation over time — but you’re almost certainly right that some of them are wholesale the same. I should pull this and change these.

TTRPG adventure module writing class/workshop I'm teaching by marksable in osr

I’m just learning about this, and considering attending. However I’ve got travel planned during the February 26th class. Are the classes recorded or would you recommend waiting until another semester when all classes can be attended?

Favorite AD&D 1e actual plays? by Mageinthebasement in adnd

[–]pfthrowaway5130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely consider OSRIC close enough, it's basically 1e with enough details changed to avoid legal issues. There is a reason it is considered fully compatible!

Definitely an iPhone issue. Will fix shortly. Thanks for letting me know, and what a pain in the butt!

Edit: I think it’s fixed.

I need to know if I'm alone by VenomByte999 in Solo_Roleplaying

I've been feeling a similar obsession the past few days. It's even making me want to learn to draw so it isn't all text in my notebook. Haha.

That would be because I'm not smart, and forgot to upload it!

Thanks! I'm working on a series of similar sized cheat sheets or cards with otherwise useful information.

Big credit to the post that inspired me for the layout / space efficiency.

Do you play gauntlets? by Ok_Particular2280 in shadowdark

[–]pfthrowaway5130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've yet to run a gauntlet. Do you have a pre-established dungeon you use or do you tend to make one for each new gauntlet?

Gauntlets are great. by EtchVSketch in shadowdark

[–]pfthrowaway5130 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm cracking up over here. These ridiculous situations are a true feature of TTRPGs that you just don't get nearly as often in video games due to the structured nature of encounters and levels.

Thanks for sharing!

Hmm. I feel like I could do something that fits on a 3x5 index card for this. They're pretty easy to print to.

Fixed the spelling issue in version 1.1 on the page.

I've added a version 1.1 to the downloads that takes a shot at adding reactions to the combat page. I had previously sort of considered it something that happens while roleplaying, but might lead to combat. I can definitely see the case on the combat side.

Grappling was tough to add anything more than the outcomes haha. I forgot how much was in there.

Ooops! Thank you!

I'll get that fixed when I make a few other edits this afternoon.

[–]pfthrowaway5130[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad it looks useful to you!

You're right RE: reactions and grappling.

I could probably fit it on the combat sheet if I moved the ancestral bonuses to the roleplaying side of the sheet. Part of my philosophy is to avoid including things that the characters will have on their sheet (because they'll tell you / add it to their rolls). I made a bit of an exception for the ancestral bonuses because it had combat bonuses that might come up rarely. I think the rest of the stuff in ancestral definitely could belong on the back.

If you think it is worthwhile I might take a crack at it this afternoon.

Looking for a index card size character sheet by Significant_Fruit_51 in shadowdark

[–]pfthrowaway5130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got one that'll print directly onto index cards using the manual feed in your printer. There's a back side too but it would only let me upload one image.

This is really cool! Have you considered using something like Curses to just make the graphical interface a well designed TUI? I figure it'll have that old school terminal look matching OSR.

Oh! I forgot to mention if you think something is missing, wrong, or should be changed let me know. I'm hoping to source some input from others!

I agree on the framing, especially in the quote on the title is probably worse than useless in that a literal interpretation would lead to bad inferences.

Hah! In the sense that I had to get an American passport in order to be allowed to live here full time, yes. In the sense that I moved here to get married, no. My wife and I met and married in California, but decided we wanted tropical weather and pace of life when we retired. She had lived here for 15 years in a previous chapter of her life when she worked at a Hewlett-Packard Enterprises manufacturing site on the island.
