    Not Just a Fad: 3 Legit Reasons to Declutter After 50! - YouTube
    • πŸ’‘ Reason 1: Your children don't want to be responsible for your stuff after you die. Start decluttering now to spare them the overwhelming task.
    • πŸ’‘ Reason 2: Minimizing while you're still capable allows you to maintain control over what happens to your items. Waiting until later means others will make decisions for you.
    • πŸ’‘ Reason 3: Having fewer possessions makes everyday life easier and more streamlined. It reduces the burden of cleaning, organizing, and maintaining your belongings, saving you time, money, and stress.

    The d20 mechanic is boring, embrace die combos - YouTube

    WorkingStiff Diogenes
    1 hour ago
    Two thoughts:
    We used to have a home-brew that replaced d20 with a d12 and d8. You totaled them to get your score, but also the d12 determined hit location (12 was head, 6 was right arm, etc.) The d8 determined effects as well as points of damage. For example an 8 was severed. So a roll of 12+8 was 20 points but also a total decapitation--a guaranteed kill.
    My current home-brew uses 2d6 vs. target number. There is no roll for damage--the losing side takes the difference in damage. That makes a less swingy system better. Also, 2d6 has a visceral quality--snake eyes just feel terrible and double sixes feel victorious. Advantage for the DM is that in a 2d6 system, a score of 7 is the mean, the median and the mode--very "stable." So to create a suitably-powered enemy, the GM just takes the PC's bonuses and adds 7; that's the target number of the monster.

    Differences of Advanced Tiny Dungeon - YouTube
    • πŸ“š The speaker recently obtained the physical version of Advanced Tiny Dungeon, which was difficult to find in Europe.
    • 🎲 The main difference between Advanced Tiny Dungeon and regular Tiny Dungeon is the introduction of an armor class (AC) system in combat.
    • 🎯 In regular Tiny Dungeon, players need to roll a 5 or higher to damage opponents, regardless of armor or speed. Advanced Tiny Dungeon allows for lower AC targets, making combat more balanced.
    • βš”οΈ In Advanced Tiny Dungeon, every successful die roll inflicts one point of damage, or two points for heavy melee weapons. This provides a clearer and more intuitive damage system.
    • 🎭 Advanced Tiny Dungeon introduces a class structure where players choose two specialties to determine their class. Classes include Archer, Explorer, Fighter, Mage, Paladin, Thief, and more.
    • πŸ“œ The system allows for renaming classes to suit individual preferences or character concepts.
    • 🧬 Heritages are still present in Advanced Tiny Dungeon, defining hit points (HP) and armor class (AC). The maximum AC allowed is 5, regardless of combinations or abilities.
    • πŸ’” Instead of hit points, Advanced Tiny Dungeon uses a combination of trauma and stress to represent physical and mental damage.
    • πŸ”€ Optional rules in the book cover various aspects, such as critical hits, character drawbacks, XP methods, item usage, repairs, and setting up camps.
    • πŸ“– The speaker personally finds the Advanced Tiny Dungeon system worth having, especially for playing with their son or solo gaming. They appreciate the simplicity and ease of play, as well as the versatility to merge with other systems.

    Why Game Master are NOT Storytellers. (Ep. 198) - YouTube
    • 🎲 A game master is not just a storyteller; they are conflict designers in tabletop role-playing games.
    • 🎲 In tabletop role-playing games, the game master designs the conflicts, players decide how to approach them, and dice determine the outcomes.
    • 🎲 Railroading, or forcing players down a preconceived path, should be avoided in favor of allowing player autonomy and choices.
    • 🎲 Dice rolls ultimately determine success or failure in tabletop role-playing games, and respecting the randomness of the dice is important.
    • 🎲 Game masters can't plan too far in advance because they don't know if the players will live or die, so they focus on designing the next session.
    • 🎲 The veiled society campaign is based on the classic module "The Veiled Society" by Zeb Cook, set in a city with warring merchant families and a murder mystery.
    • 🎲 The campaign is designed to have lots of conflicts between factions, and the player characters interject themselves into these conflicts.
    • 🎲 The professor uses a random urban scenario generator to create conflict for each session, providing object, antagonist, location, time limit, and reward.
    • 🎲 The professor presents players with two potential missions and they choose which one to pursue, giving the campaign a sandbox feel.
    • 🎲 The professor focuses on designing unique encounters and locations, not worrying too much about what will happen in future sessions.
    • 🎲 The scenarios may have similarities to other stories (e.g., Batman movies or Star Wars), but the players' approach and decisions make them compelling.
    • 🎲 The amount of prep time doesn't necessarily correlate with the level of fun the players will have; sometimes, quick scenarios turn out to be the most enjoyable.
    • 🎲 The professor encourages viewers to roll out scenarios using the random urban scenario generator and share their experiences.
    • 🎲 Links are provided to the Dungeoncraft Facebook group, Patreon, extended video version, and the professor's module "Macdet."

    Time, Gear & Skill: A Different Approach To Skill Checks – Dice Goblin

    Performing actions involves time, gear, and skill.

    Generally, if you have none or one of the three, a task is impossible.
    If you have all three, you do not need to roll – it just succeeds.
    If you only have two, the task might involve a Save, with time or your gear being at stake if you fail.
    Environmental factors/opportunities might act as a substitute for gear or skill.

    Example: Lockpicking
    Lockpicking a door requires no roll if you are skilled at lockpicking, are not in a hurry and have lockpicking tools available.

    Lockpicking a door might require a DEX Save if you’re in a hurry yet have the skills and tools, with the risk being not finishing the task in time. It could also involve a WIL Save if you have time and skill, yet no tools, with you trying to improvise your tools.

    Lockpicking a door is impossible with only one of the three:

    You could stare at a lock all day with all the time in the world, but without gear and skill, nothing is going to happen.
    You could be a skilled lockpicker, but in a hurry and without tools, there’s not much you can do.
    You might have lockpick tools, but without the time to figure out how to use them, there’s no way you’ll manage it without skill.

    Cairn Crash Course | Widdershins Wanderings
    • πŸ’‘ Characters in OSR games earn originality through surviving and being successful.
    • πŸ’‘ OSR games focus on discovery through interaction and investigation rather than relying on dice rolls for spotting traps or enemies.
    • πŸ’‘ Social skills and checks are generally not used in OSR games, encouraging player investigation and figuring out how their characters interact with the world.
    • πŸ’‘ Game masters in OSR games are expected to act as neutral arbiters, using mechanics like reaction rolls and morale checks to maintain neutrality.
    • πŸ’‘ Combat in OSR games should be avoided or fought unfairly, and it is considered a fail state. Players are encouraged to find alternative solutions to obstacles.
    • πŸ’‘ OSR mechanics include roll-under attribute checks, X-in-6 chances, reaction rolls, and morale checks.
    • πŸ’‘ Cairn is an OSR game with frequently asked questions regarding HP (hit protection), critical damage, armor benefits, scars, and differences between NPCs and PCs.
    • πŸ’‘ In Cairn, there are saves instead of ability or skill checks, and the focus is on teamwork, planning, caution, and critical thinking to overcome obstacles. Difficulty is not a factor in determining odds of success.
