Time for another #introduction :

So hi everyone, I've been posting #rpg related stuff over on dice.camp and on reddit for quite a while now, decided to move here with a brandnew handle, yay.

I'm GMing a face to face campaign of original #dnd in #hamburg (germany) for almost three years now, interested in all things #osr , but there's also quite a bit of #fate and #gurps on my bookshelf 😉

husband, father, family physician and boats enthusiast when not gaming.

heads up #gurps afficionados. There's a GURPS bundle to be had on: https://bundleofholding.com/presents/GURPS4Essentials

Here's an interesting post about the difficulties in sci fi games. Not just in #gurps #scifi #rpg
https://enragedeggplant.blogspot.com/2022/06/my-experience-with-sci-fi-games-in-gurps.html

Today I read a chapter in #Traveller5 I'd only glossed over so far. The game contains actual rules to determine the age of societies in generations and millenia, when a society reached a certain tech level, when it stagnated or regressed, or when certain significant paradigm changes were achieved. Also, which tech level was reached, before some lost civilizaiton finally died out. Did it regress to dark ages? Did it transcend physical life, reach singularity or other planes? Fascinating ...

@Moonmoth , talking #3lbb original #dnd: rolling random encounters for the magical "sea of mists" sublevel of my odnd megadungeon I get:176 lawful buccaneers in two small galleys armed with ballistas. Their leader is a level 8 fighter, both ships captains are level 6 fighters. There are also two officers level 5 and 4. In their "lair" they've got a type A treasure and 18 prisoners. That's not just an encounter, it's a scenario hook! It's that scope I feel most retro clones are missing.

To those of you who use minis in their #ttrpg games. What's your storage solution for all those minis? Any sort of specialised case or bag, you could recommend?

So @kensanata @presgas @phf @frotz let's hear your experiences with Helmbarten. I'm especially interested in the dice mechanic. You still use 2d6 roll under with increased number of dice to increase difficulty?

In T5 I sometimes find this mechanic a little odd, when suprisingly players don't need to roll at all since their effective target number is higher then 10 anyway ...

Just learned that a #SystemDoesntMatter is a thing 🤔

So who says #usenet is dead? posts get replied to, even after 23 (!) years ... 😅
... also the post is sort of tangentially about #dnd ...

There's an offer of Sly Flourish stuff over on bundle of holding. Any thought's experiences with those "Lazy Dungeon Master" stuff? Recommendations? I think I'd be most interested in "Fantastic Locations" ...
