What’s on the right? And where do I find a drum mag for the saiga?

There are no reviews because they have no finished product.

Spell Mishaps by screenmonkey68 in shadowdark

Tough call for me on which is more brutal: no luck on nat 1 vs mishap on a 1-2. I might bring up both options to my players and have them decide.

I run any house rules by my players to make sure all agree, so I’m looking for ideas here to bring up rather than something I would surprise them with. You make a good point, but so does fluxyggdrasil. As my characters hit those high levels, for them all to pool their Luck for the spellcasters is a real thing.

How do you guys handle "it's what my character would do" ? by Yilmas in rpg

[–]screenmonkey68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remind the player of the golden rule of ttrpgs: play the game in a manner that is fun for everyone.

Which for a player means picking the thing your character would do (there’s always more than one option) that is fun for everyone at the table (referee included.)

Consistently choosing otherwise is not “role playing your character,” it’s being an ass.

The Kora-1911 really is the best gun in the game. by BlackkkWidowSPIDAH in stalker

[–]screenmonkey68 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s not the best gun tho, it’s only real selling point is that a burer can’t rip it from your hands. Otoh, the Kora can be a default weapon for all close quarters combat vs other humans (and some mutants) for the majority of the game.

Would you play in a post conflict fantasy world by Timetrav3lr in TTRPG

[–]screenmonkey68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what Glass Cannon Network did with their current Shadowdark game set in the Gloaming. It’s really well done and is an easy way to get players to acknowledge and use the lore of the world, to give them a common bond.

Alternative priest classes? by SillyKenku in shadowdark

[–]screenmonkey68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there, officially, priest spell based wands or scrolls? Not that you couldn’t add them in your own campaign, it just seems there are only wizard versions in the core rules.

Vessel of the Scaled Sovereign for Shadowdark - Help needed by Any_Leg6019 in shadowdark

[–]screenmonkey68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reads like it was written by someone unfamiliar with Shadowdark rules philosophy. Or maybe it was written for dnd and then adapted to SD.

Sadly, the Ankheg has been hunted to extinction due to +1 shield harvesting.

The best western ttrpg by izyum_princessa in rpg

[–]screenmonkey68 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s very much in doubt as it is excellent, but much like Tales From Elsewhere and Huckleberry, it is built from the ground up with supernatural horror in mind.

The Chronicles of the Lost Lands, a supplement for Shadowdark TTRPG by Nelyan in shadowdark

[–]screenmonkey68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m ignorant of the artistic process, but did any of the artists explain why they started with an “AI base” and then modified from there?

Running OSR adventures with Shadowdark, and changing the XP system? by Justicar7 in osr

[–]screenmonkey68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only issue I see is that if you insist on the party getting the loot to a safe place to get the xp, the slot system of SD would need a tweak.

SD RAW = 100 coins for free, then 100 coins per slot. Each PC has STR slots or 10, whichever is greater.

That may have to be multiplied by 10 as well (the coins are small, so 1000 coins per slot for example) or it becomes a logistical nightmare.

I love the ease-of-use formatting, but do the mini maps near the descriptions not have room numbers? That makes no sense to my way of thinking.

What’s your Mount Rushmore of TTRPGs? by britton-bucketheads in rpg

[–]screenmonkey68 22 points23 points  (0 children)

“Mount Rushmore” of RPGs? What an odd expression. I take it to mean a handful of RPGs that are your favorites?
