Always busy these days it seems. It is funny, but I think I'm actually less busy at work...

Other Game Systems / D&D next basic rules

I know a lot of OSR types like myself are coming back to it and giving it a gander. I know the old school D&D and retro-clone blogs have a lot of do-it-yourself 5E material already.
I've been tinkering on my 5E Cyradon hack, and it is moving along slowly.

Yeah, I think any house rules I make will be to weaken magic somehow, but we shall see. I like the idea of spells being easily interrupted if the caster gets hit so I will try to incorporate that.

From what I've heard D&D is fairly deadly, which surprises me after reading through it. I have heard that the monsters are tough as nails. With all of the easy healing, the multiple death saving throws, etc. it just seemed like death would be a thing of the past. I'm going to have to give it a shot and see how it goes.
I've been kicking around the idea of running Cyradon with D&D 5E.

When I first ran Labyrinth Lord it used side initiative (retro-clone of Basic / Expert boxed D&D). Each side rolls 1D6, the higher roll means that side goes first. If you tie initiative is simultaneous. You can have two turns in a row this way. It's quick and it is easy to roll it every round.

Here were a few house rules that I came up with for D&D Next. I'm probably going to give into the Stat Increases as Saves are really dependent on Stats in this edition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEhlxQGgHkw

Novus RPG / Novus digest version -- opinions wanted
« on: March 28, 2014, 05:50:06 PM »
I always thought that the Lamentations of the Flame Princess PDFs would look great on a tablet (they use A4 I believe). I have yet to get a tablet though.

I liked that there were plenty of player races in the book.

Novus RPG / Two Ideas: Random Armor Protection & Armor Without Armor Protection
« on: December 03, 2013, 11:36:32 PM »
Another idea: Ignoring the Imploding 1s dice rule and just focuse on the normal total of the dice and the exploding 10s. In this system only Snake Eyes (double 1s) would be a botch where something really terrible happens.

I haven't done much with Novus lately, but the group got me to think about it again.

Other Game Systems / udpated edition of HARP
« on: August 07, 2013, 02:46:48 AM »
I always thought that characters in HARP were pretty durable since they had a good many endurance points. I guess you could house rule some things to make up for the problem you mentioned Tim.
