Misdirected Mark Forums

I usually GM but my buddy took the reigns for a while in our weekly game. My character was a bit green compared to some of the other characters. I had GMed the group in a Sci-Fi game for several years at this point and had gathered a lot of hardware but they freely shared. They had an anti-grav carg...

I was also giggling at Definitely Leopard. I don't usually giggle.

Cool! So, if we use Emmett's post as a definition of OSR, our un-PbtAed game needs to: 1. rely on rulings (rules are loose and open to interpretation) 2. rely on player cleverness (characters can't be smarter than players) 3. allow characters to get in over their heads (balance isn't important) 4. ...

I just wanted to point out that while moving to a d20 does change the shape of the probability curve of die results, it doesn't change the curve of game results. I wholeheartedly agree with this. Everything breaks down to a percentage chance which can be approximated with a flat roll. Maintaining t...

But, for the purposes of this discussion, is that enough to make it OSR? Is OSR defined by using a d20 over 2d6? Is it more about random tables? I don't think I know what OSR really is in a post-retro-clone sense. I did a reaction to one of the books that a lot of OSR groups consider "Definiti...

Huzzah! I'll have to listen to this two or three times. There's stuff I do and stuff I don't so I'll have to integrate it all I my head. Thanks for the tips!

I've got to get my nose to the grindstone and get this written out. I have the basic idea of what I want. You tell a tale of one of your companions dying and then the other players challenge you with dance, fight or sing. Each one challenging your honor in a different way. It would be a very Baron M...
