I recommend rolling different coloured dice for column results and row results on your tables
Or reading results as he did according to dice position from the left (column) to the right (row)
Nice idea
I'm always surprised how fun these characters end up :)
Next video: randomized dungeon!
Wow, you caught my interest with all the random tables, but you totally sold me with that magic system! That is incredibly fun!
I like that random spell generator. I should buy this and make my own.
I think this grizzled ex-street performer used to have a dancing bear act (thus the trap) until an unfortunate incident ended that career and they turned to maze ratting.
My congratulations because you are by far the best RPG channel on UA-cam. Anyway, your game seems amazing for a one shot, but I'd like to hear more about how would you keep it moving after the first sessions, when characters level up.
So innovative! makes me proud to be a part of the OSR and Indy game movement! desperately want to see a session of play!
He has quiet a few sessions up on his channel, or at least he did a while ago.
The character creation process is awesome!
Blast Spawning, Phasing Beacon, Enraging Dance, Emboldening Tar. I don't think I've ever seen a random magic table quite as good as this, though I admit it's rather demanding of the user's imagination. The hell is "phasing beacon?!" At any rate, You may have earned my money good sir. Would love to play a caster in this. A maaaaaaad caster, who claims he has visions which grant him these spells. Visons, granted by a creature from beyond space and time!!
Pssh. Phasing beacon, take your pick:
1) Caster creates a shimmering beacon that phases ghosts from ethereal plane into material one (you live here!) flooding the area with moaning restless spirits. They don't have to be hostile but they are still a very good distraction.
2) Caster creates a beacon next to a flat vertical surface and anyone can phase to the other side of that surface through a beacon for a limited amount of time.
3) Beacon that phases into existense gradually increasing in brightness until it's unbearable to look at. It even may blind those who are still looking at it. As a bonus, this effect is visible from miles if there's no obstruction.
Very fun, especially the magic. Though, the magic seems more like wild magic kind.
Love these rules. Just what I was looking for. Love rules light RPGing.
Looks simple and fun for char gen, I really like it
Love it.
Very cool. Love the tables. But how will Bianca cast her spells well holding an ax and shield?
I'd use different dice for the 1d36, the way APBA sports games do.
I bought this the other day after hearing it was good for solo games, and it looks great -- super charming and fun. My only concern for if I use it with my group is I wonder if anyone *wouldn't* want to be a wizard. Who doesn't want random spells? :,v But maybe that's just my own bias speaking. (Also not really a problem. We can just be a bunch of wizards.)
Yeah, I don't understand people who don't want the random spells...
Is there any hard limit on how many items you can wear? Or is it up to common sense? Going by the character sheet, it seems like the slot fits about 4 items.
This would actually be a good game for kids. Print a copy for each and let them take turns GMing.
I run campaigns for 5th graders. This game was designed to let them get into GMing quickly and give them all the tools they need to improvise.
Most cool! It's a good hobby for kids. I was in a google hangout playtest of a Lamentations of the Flame Princess module. We got to talking about - as you do - and the subject turned to how the old gaming material was written. The consensus was Gary Gygax didn't give a damn if you knew what a portcullis was or not. if you wanted to know you would have to look it up yourself. We all concurred that a lot of the architectural terms (among other things) were introduced to us through those game books. It's a great way to get curious minds going.
What would the attack bonus be for this character?
I really wish he had answered this as I had the same question. Based on what he did say, that fighters take the +1 attack bonus, I believe non-fighters would start at +0 instead. This is supported by the level up chart where you have a choice between +1 to your attack bonus, gaining Advantage to a new set of Path skills or unlocking a new spell slot on every odd level. If a pure fighter takes the +1 bonus each time they will end up with a +4 attack bonus at level 7. Conversely, a pure magic user would unlock 4 spell slots and a pure thief would unlock all 4 Paths. So the numbers work out.
@@talon12020 Unarmed attack is -1, light weapons are +0, heavy weapons are +1.
are you going to do a live play video?
I have four of them already. Check out my Sunday Dungeoncrawl videos.
awesome thx
I kind of like that there are no set classes; your character’s profession is “adventurer”, or “dungeoneer”.
I would like to see you randomly generate locations then map them out. That would be cool. Also you should make expansions to this. Like a magic one where you can generate a greater variety of types of spells. Like summoning and other things.
