These are quickly becoming my favorite thing on KZbin! A note: a common comment seems to be that people want you to reveal your guests ahead of time, so they can ask more directed questions. I would hope that you don't, and instead keep them a secret until you release the episode (the way you've been doing it): had you revealed the guests here ahead of time, you'd probably have had ten thousand questions about CoC, and maybe as many on L5R, or whatever. Keeping the guests secret means you get fairly broad questions relevant to most GMs out there, and the answers have a high level of potency (as opposed to "How good is CoC?", or "What's your favorite japanese thingamajig?"). Also, you get really great conversations. So that would be my tip or hope, or whatever: keep doing what you're doing the way you're doing it, and keep doing it for at least ten years!

The story element that Lindybeige is talking about is that a protagonist should have something they want and something they need. The character doesn't always need to get what they want but they should always get what they need. Its through the process of getting what they Need that the character changes.

Yeah. It's a good thing to know, it's the difference between a great story and a terrible one. I know one of my fellow players always wants very particular things, usually involving a subsect of the realm none of us has interest in, who is often situationally an antagonist due to being a cult. He seems incapable of ever changing what his character actually needs.

I love the discussion on narrative freedom, and the point Ben made about discovery and exploration. I think in OSR games, much like how John argued is the case for horror games, narrative control for players will take away the feeling of discovery and exploration that is so essential to the core OSR experience. A huge part of the game is finding things out about the dungeon, discovering its secrets and surviving its challenges-why DID the wizard go mad? Why were these dead monks barricaded in this specific room? Where is the metallic smell that permeates this lower level coming from? As a player I don't want to feel like I'm the one making these things up, I want to find them out organically through play; the unknown loses its appeal if you're the one making it up. Of course this is not to say that I ALWAYS want to give up narrative control, in some games it truly enhances the experience, but for some games, and I think specifically in this case in OSR adventures, it is best for players to be asking questions, and not answering them.

On die rolls for social interaction, here's how I make it more than just rolling, but also not penalizing players with less social ability... First, roleplay the interaction out. Judge the performance, but not the social 'smoothness' of the talk. Don't worry about how quickly they responded, how artfully worded, etc. Just judge the nature of the arguments they made and the strategy of what to mention and what not to mention. For example, if there were clues that the character was jealous of someone, and the PCs take note of that and say "this would really irk that person". Or if they use an argument that would be a good and believable point. My judgement of their approach then creates a modifier on the Difficulty of the task, and then they roll vs that difficulty. This is exactly parallel to using a character's strength roll to budge a heavy object, but modifying it because they had the good idea to use a nearby pole as a fulcrum.
@khpa36653 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I find the idea that you can't fall back on rolls pretty obnoxious. We play characters who are very different from us. If an introvert wants to play a Crane courtier to get the feeling of being a smooth operator, then the introvert shouldn't be penalised for not being able to roleplay that at the table.

Another trick for names of places & NPCs I've used is choose a theme and stick with it. Once I ran a fantasy campaign where I had most NPCs loosely based on Star Trek characters. So one place was a fort where the NPCs were based on characters from Voyager. So there was a rakish Sgt. Bilco-esque officer running schemes, an overworked half-orc engineer with anger issues, a dispassionate warforged physician, etc. Later they go to a big city that was loosely based on DS9. Captain of the Guard was named Odysseus and turned out to be a Doppelganger. The owner of a bar was a money-grubbing kobold named Kark. Garrison was commanded by Centurion Kara Nurius, a tough but fair woman; slow to trust, but loyal. Elim the elf is “just a simple tailor” with an air of mystery/treachery about him. I did this for months before any of the players caught on that there was a theme to all the random NPCs.

I tend to treat die rolls as a sort of fallback. Players who aren't as good at something as their characters still have the option of just rolling for it, but then they're at the mercy of the dice. They still need to give me some idea of how they're trying to do it, though.

13:10 Not to dredge up the Starlord thing, but that’s a great example of a Because action. Thanos broke free because Peter Quill completely lost control when he realized what happened to Gamora, which was absolutely true to his character. When it comes to women that he loves being killed, he doesn’t think, he reacts like an exposed nerve. Just look how quickly he shot his father when he realized that his mom’s cancer was deliberate. Regardless, the Suddenly/Because tool is a great idea. Good way to clarify why events happen.

On the one hand, they have a point when saying they want more RP rather than dice rolling, which is all well and good, but like Lloyd (Lindybeige) pointed out: taken to the extreme, that means a non-technically inclined player can't play a bomb expert (or other technical professions). Or as Sandy mentioned: it means a player with lower IQ can't play a smart character and less eloquent people can't play at being persuasive. You could of course say "get good", but that's obviously not always possible. This is where I feel D&D fits in well: It lets you play at that power fantasy of being good at something, no matter if that something is "swinging a sword at people" or "talking to people".

I agree, but I think it also goes deeper. Both drama nerds and maths nerds like dnd, and people both enjoy telling stories and playing board games. For maths brains, often the rules are the game, like a board game or computer game, and the narrative is the justification/validation/reward for successfully understanding how the world works.

I really like the idea of telling your players that you don't know how they're going to solve a problem, encouraging them to be creative because there isn't a presupposed answer. The commentary on what a "balanced TTRPG" experience is was enlightening. It's about whether or not a player character had a chance to shine so the player wasn't on their phone the whole session. And all aspects of the game have meaning.

A good idea for sandboxes is to run the first quest/activity as a railroad. Especially if you have new players. Tell them up front that they need to do a short preplanned quest, making up some in-world reason for it, that fits the characters. This quest is designed to give the players a controlled way to experience one or two combats and solve a problem by interacting with the world. It also gives the referee the opportunity to introduce the setting and it's quirks without endangering the party unnecessarily, whilst reducing the need for upfront lore dumps. Past this point, let the players know that they are on their own and must make their own decisions. "Be it dungeoneering, exploring, fighting, warring, mining, politics, rebellion or pouring a large beer. This world is now yours to make of it what you will." I like to make sure the players know a few easy sources of simple quests (notice board, hunters guild etc) by this point. This is my best attempt to allow them the confidence and freedom to be as creative as they want, whilst not feeling overwhelmed by infinite choices :)

I have always had an issue with a GM telling me to describe how I disable the trap rather than roll the dice. I am not a thief, I do not know how to disable a magical trap. The whole point of an RPG is to help me play something I am not. It is not about me being stupid, I just do not know how to pick pocket, I am not a super genius who knows how to cast spells, the dice is there to allow me to be what I am not.

Very insightful. Thanks. The two highlights for me were (1) play D&D with no classes and everyone gets to pick 10 abilities and go, (2) you never go beyond 1st level HP. I don't know if I'd quite go as severe as never going past 1st level HP, because HP are so precious at low levels, but I definitely feel that HP are broken in 5e. I really like how Hero's Journey does it where you get max at 1st level, HD at 2nd and 3rd and then just 1-3 HP, depending on Class, after that. That way, you get enough HP that you can survive some fights, but not so much that the arithmetic involved feels like work.
@johnathanrhoades77513 жыл бұрын
A lot of OSR has the lower hp. You get your hit dice (no con-modifier) through level...9? (Also generally smaller hit dice and always rolled even at level 1) and then they get like +1 hp per level after level 9 or so...
@GiordanoBruno42 Жыл бұрын
Running OSE with Optional Ruleset I allow my players to break past the limits of their class, to use "incompatible" weapon types in a pinch, with a -2/-2 hit/dmg. If their character wants to, they could seek a skilled warrior to train them to use any weapon they like. Over time I give players a +1 to hit proficiency bonus, if they don't already have one and they have been using a specific weapon type a lot. Players with classes that start with a proficiency bonus (mostly martial or semi martials), will be able to develop to expert and master bonuses (+2hit +1dmg / +3hit +2dmg) at times I judge appropriate, granted per weapon type, with new weapons mastered faster each time. Non martial classes can gan expertise and mastery over a weapon, but they need to dedicate a lot of downtime to achieve it. This ensures any class could learn any weapon whilst not making the melee weapon combatants feel bad. Although, characters who need to hold a spellbook or some such will not be able to master two handed weapons as a hard limitation.

Great discussion and people thanks! On player contribution, I am dead set against players having control over things their characters would not. However, I'm completely open to a player saying something like, "Wouldn't there be a key on this guy since he's guarding this place?" and then I will consider the chances of it, maybe even roll the chance, and rule on it. They might think of details I didn't. But it's always something I consider - never 'determined' by them. As a player that's what I want too. I want to feel like I'm interacting with an objectively existing world - not just sitting around writing a story with someone (a fun and worthy thing - just not why I play RPGs).

I personally like characer-class systems, because I like working within frameworks when creating a character. There's a fun challenge in figuring out how to become the best of a certain subclass. The Overpowered idea is silly, and I think it stems from the restrictions you have in classes. How often don't you read about the "perfect build", but most of those are just "I do lots of damage, and don't die". With a classless system you might get overpowered too, but you get less underpowered characters, since everyone can take what suits the most. Overpowered isn't the problem, the problem is imbalance in power levels between characters. If you have one guy who spend 10 weeks figuring out what 10 feats to take, VS the person who looked at the Cooking feat and said "Yep that's me" without thinking, you might end up with some players not having as fun. But that's a minor issue.

Most character races are sub-species in DnD. Most of them can interbreed, something different species tend not to. So race is actually more of a correct term, I'd argue more correct than we use for humans. Humans are basically all just different types of Retrievers, which is one of types of dogs out there.

14:00 Yes! Not only do character choices co-create emergent game-play but by giving a broad leeway to Character Agency the DM is secretly farming all their ideas and wonders about the world they find themselves in. For me, this is the heart of ttrpg. The characters discover and experience wondrous scenarios and the DM gets to interact with the ever unknowable reactions and interactions. This is where the real life magic happens. Why D&D endures. People gathered around a shared experience. A campfire around which human existence is expressed. Telling shared stories of triumph and tragedy as truly lived by our characters. From Zero to Hero, there are no unworthy stories.
@Parker87523 жыл бұрын
To me, in games where overcoming a challenge is part of the fun for the players, game balance is a question of how much a character is able to contribute to the success of the team. Some games make that easier than others, while those others require more creativity from both the GM and the players. Let's take D&D 3.5 as an example - in theory, once you get beyond around level 12, fighters and rogues are basically useless to the party. A party of wizards, druids and clerics can handle basically any combat-based problem they encounter at that point. The wizard will have made a few wands of knock and a few scrolls of improved invisibility to make up for the lack of a dedicated locksmith in the party, while the cleric is almost as good at fighting as a fighter would have been and the druid can handle basically anything nature related. However, this forgets one important point - powerful villains will know that powerful magics exist, and will prepare for them. What they can't prepare anywhere near as easily for is the level 12 Rogue with a +20 to each of hide and move silently, a +22 to open lock, and a blatant disregard for the property rights of evil liches. Likewise, with the leadership feat, a level 12 Fighter might well have up to a 17 leadership score (12 for level, assuming 10 charisma for no bonus or penalty there, +2 for a great reputation, +1 for being a fair and generous ruler, +2 for having a base of operations), and a band of 35 trained soldiers, even if they're almost all level 1, can get a surprising amount done if used properly. The thing is, however, that this requires the GM to provide obstacles that mundane skills taken to a superhuman level can solve more easily and reliably than magic.
