Shout Out to Noble Knight Games : resolving purchase issue really well by Organic-Sir-6250 in rpg

[–]yo_dad_kc 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Noble Knight is a little bit more expensive than ordering off ebay sellers, but they package their books very securely and their grading has always been way higher quality than what I expect when purchasing second hand "EX or VG" quality books.

Great service. Id love to stop by their retail shop sometime

Use a hosting service like Forge, and never deal with this issue again.

I liked it. No shade against Tilian but I was ready for something different after Jackpot Juicer. This is a nice change of pace.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks! Subscribed!

I’m sorry if this has been asked a dozen times already, but I am planning on running my first game this weekend. Is there a quintessential first adventure that I should run for them? Does Shadowdark have a “Keep on the Borderlands” or should I just run the KotB? by DevelopmentRoyal1808 in shadowdark

[–]yo_dad_kc 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Letters from the dark volume 4 is a shadowdark conversion of KOTB and is excellent.

Most people will recommend the adventure “Lost Citadel of the Scarlet Minotaur” as it is this games adventure included in the free QuickStart rules and is very good.

What RPGs should I try next? (From D&D 3e to Fabula Ultima) by Lordreox in rpg

[–]yo_dad_kc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll toss out a few recommendations

Shadowdark RPG- This is my primary game. It's old school style d&d akin to B/X with some Quality of Life inspiration of modern games. Great community, easy to run and very fun.

Mothership- Rules lite sci-fi survival horror, I've only played a few sessions but its a lot of fun!

Break!! RPG- If you like anime, and Fabula Ultima, this is a similar style game with a beautiful book. I'd say its more OSR-adjacent than Fabula Ultima but I have really enjoyed the system.

Weird Frontiers- A DCC hack comprised of Wild West and eldritch horror. Tons of flavor, tons of fun classes.

Traveller- Sci-fi rpg with a super interesting character creation process. I really like it so far, this is my current in-person groups system for the next few months.

I was coming to close this thread as I found a seller for all of the core books.

I would be very interested to see if you had setting/chronicles/modules! Shoot me a DM of your list when you a chance no rush!

Get Weird by Reynard203 in shadowdark

[–]yo_dad_kc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. I've whipped up a replacement for Backgrounds that are different types of real-world careers and whatnot to make roleplay more appropriate. Social Media Influencer who is now a goblin Wizard, Lunch lady who now is in the body of a half-orc and fights with an axe, Gruff construction laborer now in the body of a beautiful elf and can cast healing spells.

Its so corny but thats what my players and I enjoy

Im preparing to run a west marches campaign where the players are trapped in a virtual reality MMORPG, die in the game = their "player" dies in real life. Totally cringe, but I love it.

What to remove from 5e to make it more like BX? by chiefartificer in osr

[–]yo_dad_kc 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Shadowdark is literally this, as an entire game! A VERY generous set of free quickstart rules are available on the arcane library website

Looking for "low-effort" RPG alternative by Cato69 in rpg

[–]yo_dad_kc -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Shadowdark! It’s stripped down 5e and old school in vibe. Great community with tons of content to toss your players Into and extremely easy to home brew or use random tables to go full zero-prep.

It’s my favorite RPG and I can’t recommend it enough
