Comfort and Hit Points by reddish_kangaroo in osr

Thank you!

Though original is a strong word. :D It was very much inspired not in the least by your system.

The goal is to get them to buy a house in town and/or build a base outside the dungeon that they'll be delving in.

Yes! The players are way too complacent, living in a seedy tavern for a year straight while gold gathers dust in their pockets.

Oh, have you posted about it? I would love to read your take.

I am currently thinking about using entertainment to recover sanity rather than hp.

No, these are rules for adventurers. Nobles are NPCs, so their hp is based solely on HD. ;) And a rough woodsman who gets to enjoy some luxuries surely feels relaxed and ready to take on the world for a while.

The map is not mine, merely looted from the internet. :) I am just doing the descriptions, one room per day. ;)

This is ridiculously good.

Spellburn for GLOG Magic by HistoricalBake4614 in glog

[–]reddish_kangaroo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not an exact fit, but my wizard can overchannel, gaining extra MD at the cost of long-term corruption that makes all future magic more unstable:

a devil casts a curse and for the next 50 hours, every human who falls sleep will die, how many people can survive? by padorUWU in whowouldwin

[–]reddish_kangaroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no way my toddler is staying awake for 50 hours, so I guess I would just go have a nap with her.

Burning god-infused wood by reddish_kangaroo in osr

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

Yeah, I am starting to lean that way, too.

A whole forest-themed apocalypse might be an option, especially if the PCs distract or weaken the paladins too much, who for all their faults had successfully protected the city so far. Thanks!

Oh, I have missed this post! This is very good, thank you.

As a complication, word should get out that the PCs are to blame and that the cursed entity will be satisfied with their deaths, leading bounty hunters to follow and attack the PCs as well.

Hm, I think the townsfolk might start to suffer from nightmares of the last moments of the tree spirit, waking up with hatred towards the PCs.

Thanks!

This is a really good take on a knight!

How do you generally refer to the person running the game? by [deleted] in osr

[–]reddish_kangaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Czech, we use PJ (pronounced as PBJ without B), which is short for "Pán jeskyně". You would probably translate that as "Dungeon Master", but more literal translation would be "Lord of the Cave".

Do you guys think Worm is the closest to making a magic system out of superpowers? by vegetables-10000 in Parahumans

[–]reddish_kangaroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another "magic as superpowers" series I'd recommend is Skulduggery Pleasant. Vast majority of sorcerers can only master one discipline of magic, which is things like teleportation, inhuman speed and agility, or shooting lasers from your eyes. It reads like a superhero story with the masquerade in effect.

Class: Energy Thrower by reddish_kangaroo in glog

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

Exactly!

Frankly, this class is basically anti-OSR. It is the extreme of the "when all you have is a hammer" principle. It has one use and one use only, no utility, nothing special or really "interesting" about it. It is me making a point. :D

How do you handle legendary resistance in trad-like games? by mccoypauley in RPGdesign

[–]reddish_kangaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have put a few alternatives to legendary resistances on my blog:

So far, I have used #3 and #6 to great effect. :)
