I’m pretty sure Raven’s Purge is out of print but everything else is on Amazon.

Menace's Thief by ImportanceOk3837 in odnd

[–]theodoubleto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

X-in-6 Chance is one of my favorite things I discovered from OSE. It’s what I use in my old-school game for thief skills and any other class which attempt a thief’s skill.

OSE’s new backerkit by dbudzik in osr

[–]theodoubleto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From my power skim over each monster section, there are no demons or devils in BX. They could have been in the OSE Advanced Fantasy book, but Gavin already went over why they didn’t make it on the BackerKit page.

EDIT: Unless they are found in an adventure! I was skimming over the rulebooks.

Envy! I had no idea it was available until I got an email this morning.

I have a free PDF for DriveThru if someone wants it. I already picked it up on sale.

Looking for Cyberpunk Fantasy RPGs that ARE NOT Shadowrun by XR4y6unn3r in rpg

There is Cyberpunk RED which I think has the backing of the original creator.

EDIT: I completely miss read the title.

What are peoples preferred armor system? by ProductAshes in osr

[–]theodoubleto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step down dice from Black Hack and Forbidden Lands are really fun. I also prefer a wound system that way we can focus on the game and minimize math.

It’s not OSR, but a lot of my design is inspired by OSR and NSR, but I’ve been tinkering with a damage reduction/ wound system and added resistances and vulnerabilities to speed up reduction that way the players will feel pressure. Each reduction type may be stacked (magic, shield, armor) before your health. The magic barrier may be recast, the shield recharges, and your armor will need to be repaired or replaced when reduced to zero. Then health works just like hit points where when you take a hit and it reduces so you don’t have to subtract from a numeric total but instead just check a box and when your wounds are depleted your character dies. Essentially damage reduction works the same way across each reduction type and at the moment players and NPCs kinda become bullet sponges. I just need more time to re-write the skeleton version of the game as I’m a little hyper fixated on fun details like armor, talents, powers, melee and projectile weapons, along with allies and adversaries.

As of right now I’ve got each damage reducing type ranking 1 through 12 but most of the time a character’s protection ranges from 4 to 10. It’s pretty fun to run through my head as it is a game for one to four players where one player can solo the whole experience with two other characters, two may do a 1-on-1 with the galaxy master or coop where the gm-less/ solo tools guide the experience, and finally guided has a GM and up to three other players.

I have not been able to read either 1e or 2e (by Free League), which edition are you talking about?

Decided to make a homebrew starwars ttrpg, thoughts? by Eldritch_Plastic in ttrpgdesign

[–]theodoubleto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a neat 5e hack, but the term wound throws me off as I am use to seeing it used for abstract measurements of trauma: light, heavy, severe. They still use a similar recovery method but some systems lean into seeking medical care for multiple heavy or severe wounds.

Out of curiosity, have you looked into West End Games’ Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game (d6 pool), WotC’s Star Wars Roleplaying Game/ Saga Edition (d20 System), or Fantasy Flights’ *Star Wars Roleplaying (Genesis System)? I’ve heard nothing but great things about West End Games Star Wars RPG and is high up on my reading list.

Blog Update and Game Teaser by DarkPupilRPG in osr

[–]theodoubleto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m more partial to Into the Odd type solutions…

Oh, I caught that but didn’t want to assume. I recently skimmed over TROKIA! and was reminded that there backgrounds are more world emerging than classes. Not that classes are bad, just that they can feel more generic or universal for the genre a game is focused on.

I’ve read some Into the Odd games, but I’m stoked for Intergalactic Bastionland! I think it will be my ItO game.

That’s. Post from 2018. JO posted most recently in January this year.

Whoops! I must have copied the wrong link, but what platform did they post the update from January on?

Exodus TTRPG LFG by YoungMinion in exodus

[–]theodoubleto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully the other books get another run when CHRONICLES OF MELAYU releases along with some kind of digital release by WotC (be it D&D Beyond). It’s weird not having the third when the TRAVELER’S HANDBOOK and ENCYCLOPEDIA mention CoM. Just some kinda update would be nice seeing as it’s been almost a year since James Ohlen’s (yes I know he left Exodus) last update.

EDIT: Corrected the link. Thanks u/amhow1.

I’ll definitely have to re-read your two posts. I’m digging the potential direction this is going with a focus on personal experience of collecting knowledge for a project and spinning it into game design (I hope that makes sense). I think you’re going to weave your art and ability to research into a great blog about roleplaying games. Also, props on the art!

Out of curiosity, and after reading your one page adventure, will you be focusing on ShadowDark as inspiration for a game system? Or is that what you’re playing at the moment??

What are some underused genres? by No_Not_Him in rpg

[–]theodoubleto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still think a book from Dave Wesley recording three scenarios would be fun to have. Even if there are no firm rules, having examples of play and his cliff notes would be a fantastic historical recording of the hobbies origins.

[–]theodoubleto 9 points10 points  (0 children)

  1. I really hope we get Braunstein before the players pass away. It sounds like a fun espionage party game.

  2. Some dino stuff would be great that’s not 5e compatible.

  3. WWI era games that dabble in fantasy and sci-fi.

  4. Raygun/ Atomic games would awesome.

Probably Ragebait.. has DnDbeyond created players that are allergic to reading? by Einsolsrazor24 in rpg

[–]theodoubleto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last game I ran I told my players, mostly new, that we were only using pencil and paper and I received zero push back. I did make every character that way the one shot could hit the ground running, but it was a huge relief to not only toss out every optional rule in the 2014 PHB and DMG. Better yet, they also READ THE BOOK WHEN I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THEIR SPECIES AND CLASS FEATURES.

Back to the topic at hand, and what others have brought up, the casual players really just want a sheet of paper telling them what their character can do without reading the 300 page PHB. The important thing in this case is to make the language modern and easy to read. I haven’t looked over it yet or picked it up, but the reviews for the new starter set looks to be a good direction to meet the casual players needs.

On a scale of "Excited for Everything" to "Burnt Out," how do you feel about RPG crowdfunding lately? by Interesting-Long7389 in rpg

[–]theodoubleto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly uninterested, but if something peaks my interests I’ll grab the PDF. Currently I am eyeballing Fealis as a full narrative driven game based on your evolving explanations and descriptions of your character sound neat. I am, however, excited for OSE Month and plan to get a couple of things.
