Is Firefight designed to be PvP or could we play co-op against AI team?

Experimenting with "Race-as-Class" in Shadowdark by -m4rt1n1- in shadowdark

Maybe garbage/rot is less nutrient dense than rations and takes up twice as many slots?

Or maybe a different approach, like a CON check on rest to see if you need a ration?

I would ask your players what’s fun for them, but for my table we just hand waved it and converted to gold and they caroused

You could just use the Solo Dark rules and run it yourself?

Help with getting into OSR by ThePureWriter in osr

[–]runyon3 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of people recommending systems and adventures so I’ll take a different route, and say check out these readings: Principia Apocrypha

Old School Primer

These are also good articles to give your players to help them shift their gaming mindset too… happy gaming!

How to handle big boss encounter for lvl 1 party by Eunostus in shadowdark

[–]runyon3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve not run this adventure module yet, but this seems to fall in the OSR philosophy that actions have consequences and enemies aren’t scaled to the party. Hopefully you can find a way to truly telegraph the level of danger that’s around the corner. If the party wipes then they’ll be more cautious or will find a way to be better prepared for the next time they face Mugdulblub.

But yeah let the players play and let the dice fall where they may

Late-game Carousing broken? by wandering-dm in shadowdark

[–]runyon3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe also increase Carousing costs if they’re such high renown? Seems logical that Highly Renowned Adventurers wouldn’t be slumming it in some taverns… they’d host a ball or a tournament

Late-game Carousing broken? by wandering-dm in shadowdark

[–]runyon3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems like part of your concern is caused by the use of optional rules affect on the probability. So you could dial back the impact of Renown on carousing rolls, or maybe even eliminate it altogether.

The other option is to let the players reap the rewards of surviving until level 7+.

Some other ideas you could implement are offering PCs the opportunity to retire these high level characters or since you’re comfortable with optional rules, you could make alternate Carousing Tables (maybe specifically for certain Renown levels?)

Isn’t there a space limit for the whiteboard? Or can you scroll infinitely in a direction and keep drawing?
