thank you for explaining this. i was considering not buying shadowdark because the rules seemed so confusing to me. but this was easy to understand.

how to transfer back to foundry from forge?
@dziooooo13 күн бұрын
You started to lose me at "rolling under is not intuitive to D&D players who want to see big numbers" and lost me completely at the difficulty levels. You're rolling a SAVE, not a skill check. The whole point is that there's a threat you're trying to avoid. If there's no threat (passed out drunk guard), you're not rolling at all, unless your players do something that MAKES IT a threat (sneaking past while escorting a struggling prisoner they're kidnapping from the palace). In OSR games you're not supposed to roll for everything, if the players have a good idea or ask the right question, they just succeed. If you really feel you need more granularity, add advantage/disadvantage mechanic on saves and you're all set.

Nice video, jumps straight into the meat and potatoes without a long intro. Were you running a game on your own accord, or did you sign up with some company that manages DMs like Baldman Games? I've been thinking about DM'ing for PAX West and ECCC.

I played through Cleric Games. Baldman wasn't there the year I was there.
@Ptaku9327 күн бұрын
5:53 ridiculous, sneaking past a passed-out guard shouldn't require a roll at all. At the same time, sneaking past a guard dog could just be a roll with disadvantage - roll 2d20 and beat 13 (or whatever your DEX is) on both. Easy!

Nope, if you start running it from the forge you don't need it on your device.

The "cutting the throat of a helpless foe" is an auto-kill even in D&D 5E - Firstly that's why you have DMs to adjudicate unusual situations, secondly that specific situation is noted as "this will kill you" is the outcome rules as written suggests. Can't believe I'm defending 5E, but that example was not a good one.

@DungeonMasterJoshАй бұрын
Thanks for asking. We do use 5e but no you don't need the book. The other DMs and I have already purchased the resources that we share at our tables. If you have questions on rules, most of the info can be found online or you can always ask one of the DMs.

This kind of exists with the community called "The Forged Concordance" (Their concept is more about ppl sharing the same adventurers guild, where they take tasks to apply to groups. From what l have read ppl don't really like how many additional limitations/rules they have) How will your community differ?

I haven't heard of them but after a quick search I can say for starters we use Foundry which is the superior VTT :D They also seem to have a lot of weird rules, we try to leave it more open and keep a home game feel.

Awesome. 🙂👍🏻 Thanks for sharing. I love Prime Modifier in DC20. I wished to create Abjuration Eldritch Knight Tank in DnD 5e and it was disaster. I needed STR for melee, DEX for Crossbow, CON for HP, WIS for Perception, INT for casting spells... In DC20 Prime Modifier solves it very well. Is possible to create anything: DEX Wizards, INT Barbarians (Hulk), etc. It is really great. DC20🎉

Rules light rules. Shadowdark is so much easier to run and the crit fail magic table adds some real sweat to the decision to cast a spell or not. This system is streamlined DnD, and keeps things fast and fun.

I like how you're explaining this and it's a great, fun system, for those who'll like the deadly nature of play. Dragonbane is very similar, although it's Skills-based/Roll Under.

Boycotts never work. Or I guess I should say, rarely work, because only the sith deal in absolutes. Anyway, people generally have to just naturally stop buying something of their own accord. Getting people to boycott something, even for good reasons, is like herding cats.
