Comment on Radiance by M. J. Graham

M. J. Graham — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:15:27 +0000

I’d also like to read about people’s experience with Radiance. As the author, I feel that anything I have to say about my experience will probably biased. Therefore I’d rather let others have their say.

Comment on MULRAH by Chris Flood

Chris Flood — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:14:18 +0000

Thanks for the input. I was trying to keep it to just one sheet, so examples were not feasible. Ultimately, a game like this (or PDQ or FATE) isn’t really going to work without a strong setting to explore, so it’s on hold for now.

I like your game, I like its parimeters, its idea and theme, and the fun way its is written.

do you have any maps/more in depth instructions?

Comment on MULRAH by Jonathan Ridd

Jonathan Ridd — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:15:20 +0000

I think you need to provide more examples – a game after all is essentially an instruction manual and I was left with only a partial understanding. I would include a created character and a few examples of conflict resolution so we can see how Mulrah works.

I’ve downloaded it, played it and liked it, loved it in fact….except that the rules are all over the place.

So, I’m rearranging the rules, adding a few of my own and put it up on 1km1kt for commnets and abuse.

Hope that’s OK Xavier!

Comment on Mythic by MJLuke

MJLuke — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 22:15:57 +0000

William, I like this RPG quite a bit so far. I’m in the middle of reading through the pdf. I was wondering if you have ever read A Practical Guide to THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES
by Joseph Campbell, or Christopher Vogler’sTHE WRITER’s JOURNEY -which the previous article is based on.

Also I was wondering if you mind if I produced some illustrations based on your RPG MYTHIC, for two reason… 1) It’s a very groovy RPG and I like to draw… and 2) to pad my portfolio a little.

THANKS

you can email me at mjluke@live.com

Thanks. I’m the author and have updated the game several times since this version. I’ll see if it can be reposted.

I like the sound of this … like a highly slimmed-down Universalis. The candles are a nice touch.
How has this worked out in play? Are there any examples of stories created this way?

Just a quick note to bump the number of comments and thus warn those interested by the French version of MicroFudged DIP that it is now available, this is the second file with VF in its title.

Comment on Starcraft: Tactical Miniatures Combat by Jeffbe

Jeffbe — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 21:44:48 +0000

I just skimmed over the rules and they look pretty good, I think Ill have to get some friends over and give this game a try. I am personally a WH/WH40K kind of guy but this looks pretty good guys, and I look forward to future products if/when you have time to put them out.

Thanks

Comment on MULRAH by Sheikh Jahbooty

Sheikh Jahbooty — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 19:43:49 +0000

I like it. I don’t think it needs turn based combat, techniques, skills, etc.

Maybe it could use Die Roll Mods, I don’t know, just as a house rule, like if you played it for a while you might want to get a magic sword that gives you a strait plus one on rolls, or if you put a dragon up against the players, you might want to give the dragon a plus four or five on all his rolls, so you would have to at least be interesting at something in order to have even a chance of competing. An ordinary dude can not hurt a dragon.

Oh, and the game never explains what the counters are for.

For those interested, there is a french version of MicroFudged DIP. I have also designed some optional rules and variants that can be compiled into a supplement.

I was wondering if there is a way to contact you guys (i.e. email). I had a few questions about your work. And no, it’s not for an explanation. :) I got it the minute I read it. Long story of dealing with a similar type of text.

Comment on Normality by Hugh

Hugh — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 22:26:04 +0000

Generally, we have avoided trying to explain it and simply visited it upon people. However, with a group of people you regularly gamed with, that might be a bit much. Try downloading the GM’s Guide and see if that helps at all.

Good luck :)

Comment on FEAR RPG by Simon

Simon — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 10:06:41 +0000

Does what it says!! Not too simple (hence 500 pages) – remember this includes spell/monster desc riptions etc. Yet not too complex.

If you find the contents page too complicated then maybe TIC-TAC-TOE is your sort of game.

At least read the document and give it a go – its FREE so if you don’t like it you’ve lost nothing.

The author has obviously spent a lot of time play testing etc. so you should be happy he’s giving it away for nothing.

Hi Morgan. I was wondering if you’re releasing this under any license? I’m trying to make a simple solitaire sci-fi dice game, and your level generation system works quite well. It would be great if your work was under Creative Commons or Public Domain. Thanks.

I’m sorry the page count scared you off. It’s not a novel that you have to read cover-to-cover. I checked Amazon – the Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Core Rulebook Gift Set has 832 pages…

Comment on FEAR RPG by Kai

Kai — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 14:45:36 +0000

I understand that there are rpgs that are “too complex” ..
However the first thing I notice at rulebooks is their size.
And when I see more than 500 pages, I cannot imagine how these rules will turn out beeing NOT highly complex.
A glance at the first content-containing pages proves me right: With races beeing randomized (but only, if s.o. wants to) and giving boni/mali to stats, I clearly do not want to read on: this cannot turn out beeing simple ..
Sorry, but after glancing at the first 10 or so pages I quit reading and deleted the document, as this one threatened to turn out to be the most complex set of rules ever ..

Comment on One Mask by Ben

Ben — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 10:22:07 +0000

This looks awesome! The combat/ actions are really well done… but I think two or three sessions for setup is way too long. In the past we’ve just used systems like SKETCH because they are so simple… and I don’t think my group would continue to be enthusiastic for that long…
Aside from that this is epic! (love the graphics, by the way)

Thanks for the speedy reply, Morgs! I suspected that it followed a room-hallway-room-hallway… format, but I wanted it confirmed. I’ll try playing this game today and see if any other questions come up. Are you still updating this game? If so, then I suggest that you add an url to this page to your pdf so that people can follow updates.

Comment on Roguelike Solitaire by Morgan McCoy

Morgan McCoy — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 11:08:20 +0000

you are totally correct Adam, i worse luck only put up a version i did not think too much on actually playing. The actual steps are thus:
1 – create start room with up stairs
2 – make your exit hallways
3 – make a room at end of hallway you choose to enter
4 – enter that hallway and roll for encounters
5 – finish that fight and move into a room
6 – repeat steps 2-5
If in a hallway you only fight 1 monster at a time
Also you dont fight in stair rooms, and yes you must finish a fight in
the hall or room you are in b4 moving on – later i will have an escape option
but for now this is how it has to be. Hope i answered everything properly. Morgs.

Comment on Roguelike Solitaire by Adam

Adam — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 06:47:33 +0000

My understanding of the exploration rules are:

Step 1) Start in room 1 with the upstairs in it.
Step 2) Roll for number of exits, then roll for direction of exits, then connect a hallway to each exit.
Step 3) Choose a hallway from step 2 and roll on encounter table A.
Step 4) Enter the hallway selected in step 3 and roll on encounter table A again.
Step 5) repeat steps 2 through 4 until you place the 10th room, thus ending that level of the dungeon.

Assuming that my understanding is correct, my questions are thus:

1) When is a room created instead of a hallway? Step 2 creates hallways, but there isn’t a step that creates a room. As the rules appear to be written, you create a starting room, then you create some infinitely long hallways that lead off from that room… :-)

2) Is there a difference between a room and a hallway with regards to encounters?

3) Are you supposed to immediately resolve the encounter in step 3 before the encounter in step 4? It sounds like you have an encounter within the starting room the minute you choose which hallway you will enter, but before you actually enter it, and THEN you have a 2nd encounter once you’re actually in that hallway.

Thanks!

Comment on Keeton Must Die! Teddy Bear Blood Sport by Bercilac

Bercilac — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 11:44:00 +0000

Great work. I particularly admire your BMing advice.

This has a really dark, somewhat subversive, feel. The mass-produced symbols of childish joy are twisted into the scourge of suburbia. And suburbia takes on a slightly distopian feel, particularly with granny’s false teeth shuriken… I’d love to run this as a one-shot (I’m not sure how suitable it would be for a long-term campaign) particularly on halloween.

A few ideas for running this:
-Make everyone follow the roleplaying conventions laid down in “Puppetland.” Speak in squeaky little voices, and no swearing or outright vicious speech. This will make the actions of the Bears all that more awful. “Oh, Mister policeman! You’re making me sad! I guess it’s time to play my special game!”
-Get people to bring a stuffed animal to the game. As they have no mechanical effects, it would make a great prop for pantomiming.
-Try to make the world scarier than the bears. I find, in this game, the bears seem like terrified and abused children. How would they see the world?

Come home safely and soon, Matt.

Comment on Hex by Trinkit

Trinkit — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 11:13:53 +0000

An log of me playing Hex on IRC. ;) I wrote a script to manage it.

The logs a little messy, but basically it shows the (rather boring) strategy I have been using. Basically since fighting monsters gives such a paltry reward, I always run from them. They’re not enticing to fight. Save the health and endurance for the boss fight if you get to that point. The fact that you lose your chances to heal and rest as you get keys does seem to break things a little bit, but, then again, if you’re lucky, you won’t find a key for quite some while and can build up a stockpile of health and endurance on level 1.

Rolling for attributes will undoubtedly annoy the hell out of me. You roll d20, but only count rolls from 5 to 15. That’s only 11 values. You have to roll on average 8 times to get acceptable values for those 4 stats, and sometimes you will roll and roll and roll and roll and roll and roll always getting too high or too low. And what are they good for anyway? Strength gives you hit points but the others are never mentioned again.

I suggest make the roll for attributes 2d6+3. This gives exactly 5 to 15 with a bit more likely to be 10.

And then add something to this game that makes attributes worth having, otherwise just skip having attributes altogether and give everyone 4d20 skill points (without rerolling every other roll).

Reading this is…thouroughly engrossing. It has the feel of a poorly Xeroxed culm manifesto…the ravings and disjointed writings of a Lovecraftian Arkhamite.

I love it.

My only rear is that I might not be intelligent enough to explain this revolution (revelation?) to my group…and I am afraid it will collect virtual dust on my hard drive.

Looked at this well -well- after it was posted. It is impressive to see a roleplaying game written to take on something this directly, boldly; almost shockingly. I was rather pleased with the general idea of play, a cross between tarot and go fish. In fact, I think with a little rules tailoring and tweaking to add familiarity to currently established systems, I may be able to make this playable for my standard group.

Absolutely love it. It even forced me to hunt down the art that inspired it and download it to add to the game’s place in my digital library. I won’t claim that the art, the writing, etc, were all of the most impressive stuff ever… but it was /different/… and I don’t get to see different very often, even digging through hundreds of free games.

John Laviolette — Wed, 20 May 2009 00:01:51 +0000

Hi, James. I made initiative run low to high to make it intuitive. Rolling a 1 means you go first. That makes sense on a gut level. Counting up is also open-ended, which is especially important with the timing of extended actions (risks.) If speed counted down instead of up, you’d have the same situation as the old D&D AC numbers; once you decide that an AC better than 0 is possible, you have to use negative numbers in a descending AC system. Likewise, if a player rolls double 1s in my game, takes an action, then takes a risk, then follow up with another risk, the second risk would have a speed of -1 under a count-down system.

I’m curious why you chose to have initiative going from lowest to highest and all others going from highest to lowest? The way I see it, this means you can have three types of rolls:

low-low: Act quickly but poorly
low-high: Act quickly and skilfully
high-high: Act slowly and skilfully

If initiative were trying for a high roll you would get:
low-low: Slowly and poorly
high-high: quickly and skilfully

But low-high would offer you a choice: which is more important? Speed (what does skill matter, all I need to do is pull the lever) or skill (I have one shot, can’t rush it!)?

Comment on Tunnel Quest by Catodon

Catodon — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 08:35:48 +0000

Finally, a game perfect for when family members and hangers on get curious. It will be fast starting even if they make thier own characters, has easy mechanics and contains many of the features of full size games.

And pushing the definition of ‘comments’…
The idea of these house rules is to add variety without adding complexity. Characters and players not using these house rules can also play alongside players who do use them because these rules add no extra power. These rules give veteran roleplayers more creative freedom for generating satisfying characters. The aim is to produce a game for veterans and newcomers.

Concept
Concept is a way of building variety into the callings without inventing new rules. The player chooses a one word concept and writes this on his character sheet next to his Calling. When adjudicating whether the character can add his level to a roll the referee should judge this based on the concept not the calling (a character without a concept still uses his calling). This is the only effect concepts ever have. Yuon the barbarian remains a good example. The concept should fit with the calling. Some ideas are given below.
Mage: wizard, necromancer, mystic, scholar
Priest: cultist, druid, cleric, friar
Rogue: thief, bard, ‘adventurer’, investigator
Warrior: knight, soldier, barbarian, archer
Jack-of-all-trades: vagabond, Renaissance man, day-labourer, ‘adventurer’
Note how adventurer appears for both rogues and jack-of-all-trades. There are many other concepts that could fit more than one calling. A sailor could easily be a rogue or a warrior, a noble concept fits every calling except priest and mage.

Race
Your Race is your fantasy species.
For example Aelfstan is a Warrior Archer Elf.
Race is also a new statistic. If you have any points in race draw a new oval for race to the left of hits. Starting character can remove points from Hits and/or Skills at creation and place them into Race. Humans always have a Race statistic of zero, it never rises. Very human-like races, such as dwarves and elves, can also begin with zero race but can raise it with experience.
Aelfstan the elf warrior removes one skill and two hits and places them into race. His final attributes are Race 3, Hits 6, Skills 1, Magic 0.
Race uses the same rules as magic but rather than colours use the race’s abilities as a guide. A character is always considered to have a focus when using race. Note that the effects produced by race may or may not actually be magical, the great endurance of dwarves is not magic. When adjudicating race uses always compare them to what a normal human could do. This puts some power restrictions on the players’ choices. Race points are replenished after a night’s rest but not by restoration potions. Level is always added to the die roll.
Pursued by ogres Aelfstan wants to run across a tightrope spanning a chasm. He could make a roll on the agile skill but the referee sets the Difficulty Number at 12. Aelfstan has no points in Agile so he calls on his race. The referee considers the situation as if it was a spell. The effect is unlikely +2 and last a bit longer than an instant, plus 1 base is a cost of 3 race. Aelstan decides to call on his innate abilities. He is a first level character so he adds a total of +4 to his roll.
Some races or characters have abilities players will want to access ‘at will’. This is not required but if desired, work out the cost for the ability to have a duration of one day and then pay this cost every morning. This is especially important for stranger races.
Cormac the 16 foot tall Firbolg wants to use his giant strength often. To perform feats beyond human capability (+3) for a Day (+3) has a cost of 7. If Cormac pays 7 points of race every morning as a second level warrior he can lift a horse, topple menhirs, lift portcullises, and the like with a +9 to these rolls whenever he wants to.
Some races are larger or smaller than humans. Very small races, under three foot tall, use small weapons (-2 to combat roll) and half cost. Larger weapons look imposing but are treated as standard weapons. Similarly, larger armour is provides no extra protection, the armour may be thicker but the gaps are also larger. Except for small weapons, scaled gear costs the same as human size gear, perhaps because of differences in the strength and quality of materials. Other disadvantages from being larger, smaller, or stranger are assumed to even out with the advantages or handled by common sense. This is implicitly how the core Tunnel Quest rules handle most situations. Avoid altering difficulties except in extreme cases and never add new rules.

Some common races are given below. Most are human-like but two stranger races are given as examples of what the system could allow.
Elves
Elves are fast, agile and graceful. They have an affinity to the wild animals and plants of the forests. Elves are enchanting people able to charm and influence others. They can use race to see well in low light conditions but not in utter darkness. Elves age twice as slowly as humans until they reach 50 after this they stop aging and never die of old age.
Dwarves
Dwarves are short and stocky, about 4½ feet tall. What they lack in agility and grace they make up for in endurance and tenacity. They are also known for their iron constitutions. Dwarves have a talent for mining, stonework and metal-crafts. They are known for working hard and playing hard. Dwarves can use their race to magically see in the dark. Dwarves age and grow old about five times slower than humans.
Hobs
Also called Halflings by some because they are about 3½ feet tall. Hobs are down-to-earth people with an affinity for domestic animals and cultivated plants. Their aptitudes lie in agriculture and homely crafts such as cooking, sewing, and carpentry. Hobs also have a talent for stealth and hiding. While they like to live comfortably when hobs are tested foes are surprised to find halflings have great willpower and iron constitutions. Hobs age at about the same rate as humans.
Gnomes
Gnomes are the people of knowledge. They are small (two foot tall) and agile with quick wits and nimble fingers. Gnomes have aptitudes for mechanisms, fine crafts like jewellery, and scholarly pursuits. A gnome could use race to pick a lock, or decipher ancient writing. Many gnomes become mages. Like hobs they can be stealthy and are expert hiders. They are also are good at dodging and have keen senses. Gnomes grow and age ten times slower than humans.
Firbolg
The firbolg (Fear-vulag) are an ancient race of fierce giant warriors. A firbolg looks like a muscular 14 foot tall ancient Celt. Players could look into the Celts who fought the Romans and the Irish sagas for inspiration. Firbolgs are noted for their great strength, fearlessness, and warrior honour. Firbolgs grow and age three times slower than humans.
Optional race: Fairy
Fairies have the same abilities as elves except they are also only six inches tall and can fly using butterfly-like wings. The ability to fly makes some referee’s nervous as a fairy can circumvent many challenges, then again so can a mage.
Flying is something a human cannot do (+3) so to have the endurance to fly for an hour (+2) the cost is 6. Most low level fairies flitter in short hops and need to roll to make it over obstacles.
Optional race: Drake
A drake is a young dragon. Like crocodiles, young dragons are soon capable of hunting on their own and some seek independence from their parents as early as their fifteenth year, well before they are full size. Drakes look like perfect miniature versions of adult dragons without any baby features. Drakes can fly and breathe fire using race points. Assume a drake is 1 foot long for every hit and half this is neck and tail. Wingspan is twice this. Drakes get larger as they gain hits with experience. Dragons are quadrupeds and a drake’s talons are only as dexterous as eagle claws so they cannot use weapons. A drake can either bite, claw, or tail slap in a combat turn. As unarmed attacks these use the brawling skill. Drakes with 1, 2 or 3 hits are small and suffer -2 with these natural weapons. Whichever single attack he chooses all are standard weapons once a drake has 4 or more hits. The armour value of a drake’s scaly hide is included in the creature’s hits. Dragons grow ever larger throughout life and never die of old age. A drake over 10 feet long is usually called a dragon.

How much would it cost to purchase the rights to the game? I would like to know whether or not it is for sale.

Hi, looks fun – I’ll try it out on my group of players as an anitodote to a recent nasty outbreak of MERP.

I noticed the following:

“Level: warriors add their Level to the combat roll; a mage does not. Rogues add their Level in
combat only if they have 2 or less Magic. If the rogue has a Magic stat of 3 or more only add
half the Level (round down), rogues with high Magic points have devoted too much time to the
arcane arts to focus on effective combat. Priests add half their Level (round down).

“Example: Haldric, priest of The Horned Man is currently Experience Level 3, he adds +2 to
attack rolls.”

That low down, cheating priest is rounding his attack bonus up!

I really like the “double roll triggers special ability” rule. I think I might also add a “double” routinely inflicts two hits rather than one and permanently damages armour. This would work against foes as well as characters.

Do you have any guidelines on treasure rewards? Do you have any sample adventures?

Sorry I didn’t spot these questions earlier:

@Crayon Samurai Games: (great name by the way) I use MS publisher, would you believe! Like a lot of microsoft stuff it has is faults, but once you get used to it and know what it can do and what it does badly you can acheve some pretty cool results. Plus, I get it free from work :).

@B Boy: ??? I think the PDF you’re referring to is the game. Are you expecting an MMO?

Haven’t had a chance to read through the game in its entirety yet (although it is now on my list of things to do), but the layout is very nice. What program do you use?
