You don't tell us anything, not even a "watch the longer video" message. 🤔

This is an absolutely pointless video.

🥳🫂👍🏿 Stock dice/usage dice ❤

So much about this reminds me of Knave. I need to pick up that box set!

PIckpocket Press’ system uses a similar system (Low Fantasy Gaming, LowLife 2090, Tales of Argosa) & Cypher Uses a speed check against the opponent’s level. Both are fast like that and I love it. I also love Dragonbane’s card-based initiative. But “make a check” is even simpler, as you say.

There is one even easier.... it's what is your speed 5.25? Alright your go before this guy who is 5... the ttrpg that this is? GURPS

I need to get a copy of Mice and Mystics to play Mausritter with

Awesome!!!

How would you present these expectations when you pitch your game? At what point would you include these messages?

Nice book collection! How do you determine the order of player characters?

This game looks amazing!

And I think that I see Mexican Gothic on your self...an awesome and fun read. I think I would enjoy watching a vid should want to talk about some of your favorite and inspiring books.

Well, you started with my first thought - just play Mausritter! Get over the mouse thing and play Mausritter! It's awesome...really. Don't be a mouse hater, embrace the rodent role and enjoy the game system. Boom, there, we are having fun before we know it and imagining that our cat is eyeing us in a new way. Cheers!

Mothership 0e does that too. I love initiative using the enemy as a reference point, that's completely player facing

Mausritter is such a cute game, I hope I can get it to the table one day

I agree--so many good ideas in this game, you might as well just play the whole game. I did steal the death roll: hit 0 hp, take damage to con, and make a con roll. I put this in Shadowdark, but instead of the roll under mechanic, I did a DC12 CON check. This really helped in a first level dungeon crawl for players used to 5e. It was a very good decision, because otherwise their characters would have sat out most of the first combat. Plus, it gives a characters a "i'm just barely holding on" roll that feels very dramatic.

We are quickly approaching a point, where I will obstinately start demanding a songs supercut video, preferably with multiple stanzas of each song.

very cool game. our game has some similar game rules. Our [PC] initiative system is relatively easy, 1D6 = 1-3 = attack, 4-6= defend. weeeeee

I tried to make Armor work as Damage Reduction for 5E trust me, it is not balanceable you are better off picking a system like Mausritter, Basic RPG or GURPS that already does it that way.

GURPS initiative is easy, everyone has a flat speed score, you go in that order highest to lowest, DX breaks ties once you know everyone's speed all combats are the same order so you can just have it written down permanently

Take how Mausritter does spells and use only martials for players

Mausritter looks so cute and fun!! And wow, you really stepped up the game with that jingle 😳😂👏

I probably have never agreed more with every single word being said in a vlog. Adding to this quest for evergreen vids - I appreciate conversations that are fun and meant for my table, not for my shopping lists or fears of missing out. This is why this channel feels so perfect to me. I unfollowed almost all Dungeontubers and live play shows who introduced me to the hobby: there's only so many books I can read and now it's time to play and run games for me. Your channel supports me doing just that. Spirits of the bookshelves had their fill, future calls for fun chaos mistakes lol. And it just feels nice to hear from you.

🥳🫂👍🏿

Great Video! I appreciate your approach to promoting lesser-known tabletop RPGs and fostering a positive community vibe. By the way, I have been trying and unable to get in touch with you. What is the best way to send you a private message? Thanks!

It's my favorite take-it-everywhere book!

man ive been so happy watching this channel grow

Poor Harn, been around since 1983 and still being updated and supported and no one knows about it.

I want safety cards. I've heard that senior DMs get mad about them, but I love them. My players are usually 30 years younger than me and I don't want to cause cringe. They seem to like me checking in with them so far. I also want lots of death, damn it! None of these immortal all-poweful characters, unless the dice just bless you, you lucky bastard. ❤

That is a heck of a game in a little book. I do like the statement - it's not hard to count arrows, but I can see using it for ration in a cross-country trek. I shall choose Chaos

I do want to diminish the importance of safety rules.

Valid.

I was only exposed to the decreasing ammo die recently. IIRC it usually is a 1 instead of a 1 or 2. Though I like the 1-2 odds of the Doom Die much better as I feel it adds more nailbiting tension. I'm very curious who came up with this concept first because even Black Sword hack admits that they borrowed it. It's so flexible! It can be pretty much used for tracking any kind of resource without nitpicking or excessive paperwork. It's giving me all kinds of ideas already!

I should start rolling thats-it-dice (Ud) in my work life, every time, something pisses me off. Once I reach zero, I go home.

great video. There is a game called Breathless that is based around the usage dice where when players take a rest (reseting their dice) they gain a complication. The base game is a zombie survival game. The Breathless SRD is on Fari community site. If anyone would find it interesting. See also SYMA by Gallant Knight Games.

3:19 Nailed It! My mind is indeed racing with various uses for a “usage die” - thank you for making the video and sharing some of the mechanics

🎲 we adopted usage dice (aka stock dice) at our table as part of the dungeoneering system - torches, rations, tool kits (e.g., healers kit, herbalist kit, cooks utensils) - we also have used them for magic item charges - there are lots of cool dials - raise or lower the decrementation number (e.g., 1 , 1-2, 1-3), add a final level (i.e., after they decrement a d4, there’s 1 use left) - incorporate explosive dice/an incrementation mechanic (i.e., if you roll a 4 on your Ud4, it grows to a Ud6) - allow advantage or disadvantage on rolls - there are entire game systems built on usage dice - an excellent system ❤

For anyone coming to this video late, i finally got a chance to play Crown & Skull, and it's moved way, way up on my list. Maybe like 3 or even 2.

Great video! Thanks for bringing these game mechanics up! With that, more sound effects, please!

I really like the UD. I am always super bad when it comes to making up a timer, either doing it way too short or way too long, so now I just let the dice decide, that way its exciting for me and my players. I have a adventure right now where players are part of an agency and they got multiple quests, so I will just put a UD on ever quest where I roll a UD (starting with a 1d10) every week to see when they run out, or if another agency was faster than them at doing it. I like the doom mechanic, since it feels like the luck stat from CoC, but in a dice format (dice are more fun and involve luck). Though I have no clue how I would implement it in my prefered System (PF2e), besides for very explicit moments, or adventures to set up a more dreadful mood.

noice

🥳🫂👍🏿 Another for the house rule quest?

I go with talking about tropes to set expectations, since those can be more precise than genre or touchstones as premise for the game.

The music is only too loud if you are too old. Just kidding. Great video as always sir!

I mean I wouldn't mind a hot tub when I play

Real DnD is sitting around the table with friends eating Pizza and possible booze. Which in the end will turn out more like Konisuba then anything else

I'm new to D&D, I've only played one seesion but I knew better that to have the same expectations I get from a more theatrical massive d&d company.

I absolutely hate tracking rations and encumbrance and that sort of thing. My table tracks arrows, but we have them "recharge" on a long rest like spell slots.

I had this exact thing happen to me, we were playing a Kingmaker campaign, and not having played DND, I thought it was a role-playing heavy story... let's just say that I didn't play after 2nd session

“Keep track of rations”. Dm my character would like to take the spell goodberry. Why? No reason in particular I just think it’s neat :)
