Re: OOC 3

STOP trying to send my players away!  ;)

It took me ages to get into 3rd ED, and if I hadn't got into Neverwinter Nights (the computer game)  I would still be whinging about it.  Pathfinder has (IMO) a better handle on a lot of things, and I really liked the fact that  CRD was a simplification of the bloat-fest that 3.5 had become.  Now it has become a bloat-fest itself.

I have seriously been considering writing a CRB website that I can use as a reference system for my own games.  If it ain't on that website -  you can't have it!  :)

Re: OOC 3

No worries -- your game ranks for setting, stories, color, cast, immersion, organization, a whole list of reasons.    The system is no big deal.

But yes, one big table is good!

I've dabbled in 5E just a little.   It does seem well thought out.   If the right game/story presents itself, one day, I'll probably learn it more properly.

PF 2E...just recently, I was curious, and downloaded a free character builder on my phone.    Have to say, I was surprised.   It seems like a good overhaul.  I have no clue how it plays, but the creation part of it was promising.

Funny you should mention 'Powered by the Apocalypse'...I'm in a WW2/Golden age supers game that uses that one.   That's definitely the sort of system I tend to prefer.   Would be interesting to see how it works for something medieval/fantasy.

Re: OOC 3

And I just added a dice game, to the Bragge thread.

http://galinia.org.uk/bragge-the-card-game

Sooner or later all those games will appear on the wiki  :)

Re: OOC 3

I have just made a minor adjustment to the Defence balance rules.  The only change is that  towns/cities etc -  must have at least one def point of light troops per district.  Every settlement in the game meets those criteria already.

Last chance for the Downtime thread.  I want to close it off at the weekend.  I have completed everything else for the campaign round  :)

It is a strange time for all of us.

I am sure that some powerful mage has cursed the whole world to 'live in interesting times ...'

Re: OOC 3

That reminds me, in the Stars Wars Clone Wars cartoon, there's a scene where Anakin's complaining about how his role in their plans always ends up with him getting caught.   And he's like: "How can I ever become a jedi master, if I keep getting caught?"

Obi Wan:  "At least you're a master...at something."

Re: OOC 3

Oh, cool!  I'm not a huge SW fan, some of it I don't care for -- but Clone Wars is really good.  Like better than many of the movies good.   The writing is superb -- some great dialogs!

Re: OOC 3

Dave Filoni (sp?) is the creator of both and he’s been killing it as the creative guide for the Clone Wars and Rebels.

Disney + is going to have a lot of amazing content this year.

Re: OOC 3


 For a character based entirely on my watching The Umbrella Academy and thinking that Klaus would make a great character, he's way more fun than I deserve.

 Also, I couldn't have needed that Owlbear Coat more... This is the guy he's based upon:

Re: OOC 3

Probably no updates for adventure threads today.  I am transferring all my data to a new PC, so mapping becomes difficult  (and I am not having an easy time with the transfer)

I can't remember any time when it was ever easy to setup a new PC, so you have my complete and utter sympathy for your efforts in this endeavour.  :>

Re: OOC 3

I made a mistake and tried to use OneDrive to transfer my files.  Then it started getting my work O365 accounts confused with my personal account.  I KNEW I should have stuck with the external hard-drive and done it the old-fashioned way!

Re: OOC 3

It has worked itself out in the end -  all the data seems to be in the right place now. Just got to make sure all my other accounts are  configured correctly.
