OVERVIEW: Tales of Argosa (BETA) - Culinary Roleplaying

[@alejandro107]

This game has replaced Dragonbane as my goto roll-under D20 game! I need to playtest it more, but it might replaced Scarlet Heroes as my OSR compatible game as well

Interesting! Pickpocket press actually approached me and send me a review copy so I am going to make a how it plays with the finished system sometime this spring!

I agree HP bloat is DND's buggest flaw.

[@CRP-Waltteri]

Yep! Nice thing about how ToA handless HP is that it's very portable to other DnD likes, For example I will definitely be using this rule for X without Number games. And like most OSR can use this rule easily as well.

I’ve been really looking forward to this game. It seems to have a bit more in it that my players were wanting and not getting from Dragonbane. I really love Dragonbane, but this seems like it may take over for my less crunchy game.

[@CRP-Waltteri]

Yeah it definitely has some more character options and also just some people enjoy more level based stuff ass well. I fine alternative indeed! Also the HP scaling this game is amazing, and I ported it into my World's Without Number games with great success!

I've seen a lot of things which seem to be 'lateral move' 5E hacks. I wonder if it is more about a perceived market thing, or a unwillingness to diverge too much out of a fixed game design mentality?

[@CRP-Waltteri]

Both good points. I think it might be a bit both. Just making more material to use is more appealing to consumer, because of the ease of use. Making a commitment to learn a completely new thing requires so much effort from average consumers. But also it is a much more safer bet for creators to make things for 5E than any other system....and the margin is ridiculous.
