Pathfinder 1st edition, Ironfang campaign. One of our early fights was a TPK. This week was the toughest fight since then. We were outnumbered two to one. Three out of four party members spent some rounds making death saves.

We did this to ourselves, of course. I’m sure we could have made better strategic decisions.

I can tell you exactly what an OSR game is.

I feel sorry for them, because the Discworld books have been such a source of fun for me over the last 30 years.

I wasn’t sure I would like the system, but it seems like a good match for a Discworld game.

sigh Making CHA my dump stat is gonna fuck me, isn’t it? I roll…

…a natural 20. 😳

It’s not the GM trying to break my spirit, it’s my frickin’ dice. Those little death polygons want to humiliate me by proxy. This is why I bought a creme brulee torch, you little fuckers.

That was a fun read. 🙂

This is a creative and clever solution to a problem and I’m totally onboard with it.

When I’m DMing, I always tell myself I’m not gonna tolerate that bullshit.

But at the table I usually let it happen to see where it’s going.

“If he seduces something from the mineral kingdom now, he’s collected the whole set.”

“You have been lied to” “This will change your life” “This one weird trick”.

I’m a little bit over hyperbolic claims in blog post titles.

Fuck those fuckers. I critted twice in my last session and rolled minimum damage both times!

“Roll to see if you know the leech-to-gold exchange rate.”

Hard to imagine any players asking for an opportunity to lose their loot. Seems more like a hard-arse GM thing.

Pretty much my only use of AI is asking it what page to look at for the rule I need.

And now we start waiting for the other shoe to drop.

If I have nothing prepped, it’s goofy random sidequest night.

One of my favourite sessions ever started when the player the session was focused on called out due to work. With my plans derailed I had ninjas crash through the window, steal her famous recipe book, then run off and leap into the back of a van with her biggest rival at the wheel. It turned into a driving battle on the highway with characters leaping from vehicle to vehicle while a supervillain chef pelted them with capsaicin-laced muffins. It ended with an elderly PC duking it out with a morbidly obese NPC (neither of which had any points in fighting) in front of a police station. They traded single points of damage until the cops finished laughing and arrested them both.

Looks like that link doesn’t go external. It might need to be edited.

Sounds like an interesting project. Can you give us more detail? What are the new races? What effect does the karma mechanic have? Will dungeon delving be your game loop?

I’ve never read FATAL, but I’ve read plenty about it. And I’m glad it exists, because it makes every other RPG better just by virtue of not being FATAL.

If it means this conversation ends that much sooner, sure.
