Happy New Year!
Progress on my #dungeon23 dungeon, and some RPG Blog Carnival news…
Encounter building is painful; it sucks all the joy out of running a game for me. However, embracing “Combat as War, not Sport” I’m sacking off encounter building for good so I don’t need CR.
What I could do with, however, is an idea of general stats against Hit Dice in 5e so I can use OSR resources or eyeball stats in play.
How indie games improved my (gaming) life
Safety Tools of the OSR Table, a new Pay What You Want to download, blows apart the myth that safety considerations in tabletop RPGs are new or unwelcome.
Tips and templates for RPG dungeon building from the RPG Blog Carnival
This month’s RPG Blog Carnival theme is “Let’s Build A Dungeon”…
After posting a number of articles about character classes, some hindsight might be useful. One reason I wrote revisions and additions was to boost player characters’ lowest levels—hence extra spells at the first few levels, modified class abilities, etc. The other reason was to stretch demi-humans experience progression to the full 36 level range. One pothole remains (I’m sure there are others), but this one needs particular attention: saving throws.
Previous “experimental” articles recently addressed a desire to boost low level characters used in the D&D BECMI game. So far, the spell progression tables for magic-users and clerics have been addressed, I’ve given the elf class my take on related issues, as well as the classic thief’s skill progression table. I haven’t addressed the classic fighter and dwarf classes since I didn’t think they needed anything extra. One more topic remains therefore: halflings, the grandest of little heroes.
