@ducki@berries.space hmm, seems like we actually have different goals. My lifelong ambition is to drink all fruit, like a fruit bat spider, stealing it from its house and eating its insides with my proboscis.

brainstorming. The Expanse books Spoiler 


In The Expanse the moon is little more than a really really big orbital base and mining camp. It's subservient to Earth and isn't at all sovereign in its own right. Mars is the rival of Earth and a very advanced military power. Its terraforming effort lays the groundwork for a relentless fanaticism. Not sure whether the jump drive would disrupt Martian society quite like it would the wormhole nexus.

In my weird S&W-GLOG house rules I specify the conditions in which I roll morale for NPCs/enemies: 

• When the first casualty suffered.
• When half the side has been incapacitated.
• When the veil is torn and Zamzalasinzar crawls forth calling for his kingdom.

@Provinto "you can't do that because it's against the rules" is not only a sure sign of GM failure, but also highly indicative of a missed chance for awesomeness. (been there, done that ...)

So here's what I have so far. I'm feeling pretty good about it, considering that it's very bare bones and extremely rough. I'm not sure what I want to do with it. Obviously it's going to be free since I have something from Ford's Faeries in it. That Notgoblin is very cute.

AD&D 2e DMG says that the game isn't a combat game. That took me by surprise a little bit, because what the later games turned into (the d20 system on) certainly are. Also pretty nice advice, generally. I'm not really convinced that AD&D2e isn't a combat game, though.

Using the dice drop method to come up with a dungeon using the 1d6*3d20 method docs.google.com/document/d/1Hs
I've got this nice layout. I can only afford one loop given the way the dice fell, their results, and the purpose of the dungeon. Pretty nice.

I finished going over S&W. It's been mad easy to get distracted, which has been very annoying. This should probably have taken me only 1 Quarantine day. idk what's happened to my focus these days. I even missed running my own game because I'd thought that it was Thursday!
Anyway, here are my notes going through all of S&W. It's not really done. I still need to figure out equipment, which is why my note on Two-handed weapons and dual wielding is TBD. .

What I would definitely import from AD&D2e, I think, is the format for monsters stats. They're much more detailed and comprehensive.

Entertaining semi-seriously the heresy that I also use For Gold & Glory (the AD&D 2e retroclone) alongside S&W for my GLoGgery...

Tomb of Horrors is a bad D&D module but it's fun entirely because you can just look at it and see every single player behaviour that 1970's DMs got mad about

A nice discussion of XP for Gold. I really liked the part about greed and plunder: "… the worry is that this rule … invites us to … casually treating something bad as if it were good to do … insulting … the people who actually suffered these things (exploitation and colonization) and would appear to endorse, even if only in imaginative play, the thought that what they underwent was not really an injustice, or one not worth taking seriously."

OSR musings: shields 

It bugs me that a shield is only worth one point of AC. Entire styles of warfare are based around "sword and board" or spears and shields. From my own sword-boffing days, a shield completely changes defense in a way that a single point of AC fails to capture.

My idea is to bump it up to at least 4 points (akin to "full parry" in 3.5) but lean hard on the limitations of devoting an entire arm to defense: One-handed weapons doing less damage, maybe not getting STR bonuses?
