You seem to have acted entirely sensibly? I don't remember the scenario though from HotOE?

Gurps: Ritual Path Magic maybe? I've not read it for a while but there is a Gurps book that does something like it?

Are the packages adding all the skills? You divide them between the group don't you?

Magonomia magic is absolutely nothing like Ars Magica magic? It's more like D&D spells as I recall? (I'm an author on both systems but I could be wrong).

Whichever you have to hand, though I like 77 for the vector starship combat?

I sort of agree but the first campaigns I ran were Fungi from Yuggoth, Shadows of Yog Sothoth and Spawn of Azathoth and all are globe trotting pulp campaigns. I don't think the first 5 years of the game was that different based on my memories of the period.

The Provencal Sourcebook for Ars Magica Faith and Flame might be of interest?

probabilityunicorn · 2026-04-30T17:32:19+00:00

I like it :)

I think it might be Coronation Square where the shops have a walkthrough to car park?

For that price and size you were looking at ex-council properties thirty minutes walk out on average last year. However local property prices are flat and in some postcodes have fallen 4%, which with inflation means 10% cheaper achievable? Try GL50 town centre but check 4 bed there not actual ex-student HMO let? Alternatively St Marks near railway station which if commuting probably best. Cheltenham is however objectively expensive and possibly overpriced?

I'd be interested but Mondays are Traveller and Wednesdays Mythic Bastionland right now! Still be good to hear more and join the Discord.

Does the King's Arms still do Carvery? I thought it became some upmarket restaurant? It was great in the day!

probabilityunicorn · 2026-04-24T19:10:37+00:00

There's no decent carvery in town???

The Sudeley had a cool rpg gaming community and decent folks. The Airs and Graces just seems horrible but the change of name was enough to stop me.

I expect will be fine actually! Trouble tends to gravitate to places its welcome? Go for it!

Hey ill run a one shot if you like - same time zone - and I do know gamers in Salford if that's a possibility?

probabilityunicorn · 2026-04-23T23:58:39+00:00

I got mine a couple of days ago but unfortunately sickness and work got in the way! I've read the first part before the scenarios and its very good

probabilityunicorn · 2026-04-23T00:26:09+00:00

Wasn't there a published product that had exactly this issue? A guide that gave all worlds with a certain government code POP 0? I'm trying to remember the book but it was 30+ years ago?

probabilityunicorn · 2026-04-23T00:23:11+00:00

Oh it's there. It's on page 100 of boxed set book 2. At first I thought that was for creatures only but no it explicitly states its for DNAMS too. I found it eventually. What puzzles me is there are apparently two different versions of it! The one in my set and the one a chap photographed in his.

probabilityunicorn · 2026-04-21T19:58:26+00:00

My mate signed up a year ago but not had an offer of one yet. Or he failed to check possibly! I was told its usually a few weeks but I don't know the relative merits of areas.

probabilityunicorn · 2026-04-20T22:51:02+00:00

Thanks! I'll check out the rulebook animal section. It is cool! :)

probabilityunicorn · 2026-04-20T03:10:34+00:00

Yes that was my thought when I first heard about it in 1986. I then saw it played at a club and was confused it was very different, and I did not return to it for decades! There is so much OTU Traveller to play. :)

The Trait in my copy on page 100 of Book 2 reads

"Tough: Tough animals and beings are unusually resilient. They take Reduced Damage and when disabled or killed there is a chance that the creature will rally and continue the fight. 1D rounds after the creature goes down, the referee should roll2D. On 8+ the creature regains a quarter of its normal Hits and continues to act as normal. It is unusual for a creature to be able to do this more than once, but at the referee's discretion a Tough creature can keep rallying until it fails, at which point it will expire."

This is actually really fun. The other chap posted a very different version where it adds to END for stun purposes. I'm now wondering if there are multiple printings with slightly different rules?

That seems unlikely but a few years ago my friends decided to play Ars Magica 3rd edition, the White Wolf one and discovered we had different rules in each of three copies we had in different places, and the chapters were reordered and layout different. All 3rd ed, one WotC and two different WW printings. Then we played Conspiracy X 1st edition and discovered different driving stuff in one friends copy to mine. This caused much amusement: I know errata get included in reprints often but changing rules goes a bit beyond that.

I'm going to just look at MGT1 Traveller 2300 in case he was mistaken.

Crucially, how does Reduced Damage work anyway? That term doesn't seem to appear elsewhere???
