@@EdwardHaas-e8x That's kind of what OD&D is like.

@heroeshomebrew I should get into OSR then if I can find a group.

@@EdwardHaas-e8x You should. There's lots of great stuff out there to explore.

@@EdwardHaas-e8x that's an option as well. I've often considered having orcs be one of the original societies with ancient cities.

@@heroeshomebrew Cool!

@@mikeb.1705 Thanks! That was the idea. I'm happy if it helps others.

@jacklets100 I can imagine. I pick them up if I find them in secondhand shops but I don't usually go out of my way to look for them.

@@IanBoyte Well said, you can definitely have both.

@@Pantherrrr Thank you! I appreciate it. I'll keep doing my best. Happy holidays!

@@swordsnstones You as well.

@@RPGDAD1980 It just takes some practice. We'll make you run more games lol

@MattisCarlgren They have their uses. But yeah, they aren't great.

@RobOfTheNorth2001 Yeah I can understand that. It took me a bit to get used to the formatting too. Having read several of the books in this series made it a bit easier to navigate.

@Pantherrrr That's awesome. I'm glad to hear it worked well for you. And yeah you can definitely detail it more but I wanted to show broad strokes

@macoppy6571 Thanks. As for the dire wolves I would probably listen to the player's theories and go with one of those. I like to let the players do most of my work. Or perhaps the dire wolves are hiring adventurers to explore the monolith or ruins in the hopes of finding a cure to their curse.

@macoppy6571 Or it was my wife messaging me. Same same but different.

@@Pantherrrr That's it! The objective is to sit down and start playing. Everything else can he done along the way.

@mykediemart Thanks. I know sometimes people fall in love with their own settings but unless it's relevant to what is going on in the game it doesn't matter.

@@mistergoats4380 That might feed the algorithm

@@macoppy6571 Thank you! I can certainly do a video on creating a starting area!

@@justinfreitas4871 Sometimes I have something worthwhile to say lol.

@@freddaniel5099 It's the perfect mix of simplicity and crunch.

@@swordsnstones Starting with a bang is a good way to go. You really just need a general idea and fill in the blanks as you go.

@macoppy6571 It may be hard to see, but there's an arrow to indicate which way they are facing. It is pretty essential to be able to tell units apart regardless of which way they are facing. It allows you to play from any angle.

@macoppy6571 I've only watched a bit of his stuff, but yeah can't say I wasn't inspired.

@macoppy6571 Thanks. I exempted the goblin runner from checking for encounters for a couple of reasons. 1) A single goblin should be able to go relatively unnoticed in the wild. 2) It's movement was mostly outside of human habitation and in mostly orc controlled areas. If it was a human runner going from orc territory to human territory, then yeah, I would probably check to see if it was captured or had some other type of encounter.

@mercuriusaulicus It seems UA-cam may not have notified some people. But you've found it now.

@Pantherrrr Damn that pesky algorithm. Well at least now you can catch up and see what's happening in these early days of the war.

@macoppy6571 oh it's being broughten

@@Pantherrrr Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm trying to get back into a regular schedule of posting. It's been a hectic few months but all is good.

@@myeartrumpet I'd say almost 50% of the people there were UA-camrs or Podcasters. Everyone who attended was a lot of fun to play with.

If ever I take a trip over to the US I'll definitely be checking out some of these conventions.

@Pantherrrr This was my first con like this. I hope to get to more schedule and budget willing.

@@heroeshomebrew Bear was saying that he was going to go again next year and next time he was either try a BnB or try a hotel in a neighbouring town.

@@Pantherrrr if I did go to North America, Clericon would be high on the list.

@devonsharkey414 It is. 1.6km = 1mile. Not sure if I mentioned that either.

@@heroeshomebrew I sort of generally figure 3 miles for every 5km (which I know is a smudge under..) In fact, using 5km to represent a "league" isn't a bad measurement. A league commonly thought of as the distance a man can walk in a mile. So that also tracks.

@@mikeb.1705 I think so too. They could be a very cool class with the right flavour

@@mikeb.1705 this is exactly why players shouldn’t create characters until the DM has given them an idea what the world is like. Going in with a preconceived idea is bound to end in disappointment.

@@heroeshomebrew that is my feeling too. It would be completely different if you tell the players you run a high-fantasy game where anything is possible, but then you limit their options >.< FWIW, I run a pretty typical Euro-style campaign in a Noble-Darkish vein. I offer a variety of starting races, but I'm also open to adding others if a Player is willing to take on some of the work of fleshing out that culture and how they fit in the world. "You want to play a Tabaxi? Ok, this is how I envision them potentially existing in the game world. Tell me your thoughts and we'll work this out, but I expect you to play a Tabaxi, not just a human in a cat suit."

@@mikeb.1705 that’s a great way to go about it. I’m open to letting players create classes or races that fit the world but a DM shouldn’t feel obligated to allow everything if they feel it doesn’t fit.

@@mikeb.1705 exactly. Filling in too much makes the DM reluctant to change or adapt the world as the players move through it. I have a huge map for my current game but only a tiny area has any detail.

@@mikeb.1705 it’s basically like west marches and allows players to play when they can without worrying about missing sessions. I’ve been doing it with my current B/X game and it’s been very freeing.

@@heroeshomebrew you mentioned that there is no "return to base" at the end of the night, like in West Marches? So doesn't that mess with story arcs and continuity? Or do you "correct for that" by having each session end at a logical point where characters can be swapped in / out for next session?

@@mikeb.1705 I may have misspoke. We do return to the home base/town at the end of every session. Though it is possible to track the location of characters if they explore and find another town to stop in. In my game right now they always return back to the town at the end of the session, but they haven’t ventured too far away as yet. If characters end a session in another town then those characters will only be able to adventure with others that are in that town.

@@heroeshomebrew Ok, thanks for the clarification, I appreciate it 🙂

@@mikeb.1705 Any time

@@dmxoan White Box is a blast. Very easy to implement the man to man combat rules and Chainmail with it.

@@alanrussette2819 I have not. I’m going to have to go find that.

@@heroeshomebrew It's called Canukistan or something like that. It adds equipment that Canadians were using at the time and some details about what we could potentially have been doing there. It's only 5 pr 6 pages, but it's free. I can't vouch for its accuracy, but I like that someone tried, if nothing else.

@@alanrussette2819 Awesome I’m going to go find it and have a look.

@@DjigitDaniel Thanks. It’s just simple and hopefully fun. I hadn’t even thought about it until someone brought it up, so it was kind of interesting to go back and look at it after a couple of years.

@@Pantherrrr that was the idea. It’s not perfect but definitely good for a quick game.

@@swordsnstones Cool. Hope you have fun with it.

@@danielt63 Your search-fu has not failed you. There was a plan to do an actual play but unfortunately it never materialized. We did do a character creation video for it that is on the channel though.

@@danielt63 I like the Cepheus system. Hopefully in the future I’ll get to do something with it. Maybe once I pick up SoC 2e I’ll find time to do an actual play with it.

@@daltonking625 Haha you bought the little one page game I wrote? That’s awesome thanks. Sure I can probably do a video on that.
