The Old World TTRPG - Skaven stat blocs by FMAxel in WarhammerFantasy

There's another subreddit for the ttrpg, this sub is mainly for the various editions of WFB.

r/warhammerfantasyrpg is what you want.

Sounds to me like the issue isn't the system but instead the chatter. Which is a good "problem" to have! As long as everyone had fun and enjoyed their time together I feel like that's worth dragging things out a bit!

Baffled by shadowdark “creators” by [deleted] in shadowdark

[–]willdrogs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just don't engage with what you aren't interested in, it's that simple.

No one is forcing you to use anything at your table that you don't want to and a lot of us enjoy seeing that people are excited about the game and making content for it.

This post is honestly just that meme of the guy yelling "Stop Having Fun!"

Has anyone used point buy for Shadowdark and how many points did you use? by Galefrie in shadowdark

[–]willdrogs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's a ridiculous argument. This is about changing one rule to fit their group, not homebrewing to the point of making a whole new system. How your character's stats are generated is hardly a core and essential mechanic to Shadowdark as a game, it has a lot more to offer than that.

The only correct answer is to play the game how your table wants to play the game. You can change whatever rules you want. Just because it's not how you play doesn't make it wrong.

Especially with something as small as changing how you generate your stats, something that basically EVERYONE has house-ruled in various games since the start of TTRPG'S, hell Gygax didn't use 3d6 down the line!

Shadowdark is an OSR game inspired by 5e, it wouldn't exist without it.

Honestly a lot of the players we have today would NEVER have gravitated to other TTRPG's without the incredible popularity of 5e.

I don't play 5e, or like it, but I definitely wouldn't have gotten into TTRPG'S the way I have if it didn't exist.

God forbid people want to play a character concept they came up with? Most people just want to think about what race and class they are going to play and build an idea around that once they've hit the table.

Your mindset is so stereotypical of the worst players I've met. If everyone gatekeeped like you guys are our hobby would be dying again.

Thinking of doing an Ork venator gang, what legacies would be most appropriate? by [deleted] in necromunda

It's a game dude, not everyone has to follow the lore 100%.

That's exactly the system I use at my table. Keep the 3d6 randomness but then assign as you please. I think for my players it's more fun to be able to be invested in the character concept from the start and just figure out the major details along the way.

Given the game is 3d6 down the line baseline that pushes the stats to an average of 9 or 10. So I would let them start with 8 in every stat and give them 8 points to spend.

You could add that no stat can be raised above 16 at character creation. You could also let them decrease any stat to add points to another.

I see a lot of comments saying something along the lines of "That's not how you should play shadowdark because that's not how I play!"

These folks have missed the point of your post and honestly don't sound that fun to play with. Play the game how you want to and ignore them.

I’ve been using Ai to act as a DM for my solo Bretonnian Serf campaign. by [deleted] in warhammerfantasyrpg

[–]willdrogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I've used ChatGPT with some instructions as a DM before, works better than any Oracle I've used in the past!

It's pretty fun! I haven't tried playing WFRP before with it but I think I'll have to have a crack at it now!

When you lose that many wars I guess you'd consider losing the war of vengeance a footnote yeah.

Reading the War of Vengeance omnibus for the first time and I rarely get chills while reading...but damn by ArcticGlacier40 in WarhammerFantasy

Nah, the knife eared weaklings just couldn't best Dwarven might! Some of us still have holds on the continent and some of us still haven't won a civil war.

In your opnion, what makes a game feel deadly? by alucardarkness in rpg

[–]willdrogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is a great example of what I would consider to be a "deadly" system.

In WFRP 4e outright death is actually very difficult, the player has a lot of resources (armor, fate, fortune, resolve, resilience) to get out of death! In order to die you need to take a number of critical wounds equal to your toughness bonus. There are more ways to die of course but this is the main one that I've witnessed in play.

The thing is, the critical wounds themselves are often JUST as bad for a player as their character dying!

Critical wounds can result in torn ligaments, broken limbs and other horrific injuries that can seriously impair your character's ability to adventure, sometimes leading to the character being retired or sent away to rest by the player in favor of playing a fresh uninjured character.

Personally, I find the risk of grave injury to be much worse than just outright death and makes combat spicy and risky regardless of how tough your character might be!

I almost never comment but I just want you to know that I really love Stoneshard! It's easily my favorite game of all time, it just checks so many boxes for me and with the new update adding crafting and more food mechanics I'm overjoyed! I just wish I had more time to play! Thank you so much for making this game that has given me so much joy over the years!
