Black denim vest with pinned patch depicting a green gelatinous cube.

Cover of the Turkish film, The Sword and The Claw by AGFA Tagline says "DIRTIEST FIGHTING EVER" -Kung Fu Express

Feeling better, better enough to work tomorrow I suppose.

Patch sewing again whilst watching this Turkish gem: The Sword and The Claw. #BMovie #Tubi

Yeah, I’d spit in it.

Thanks! 😄

Bleh. I got a head cold so I’m watching Tubi whilst sewing patches on my geeky battle vest in preparation for Terminal City Tabletop Convention in a couple weeks. #goblinmode #osr

Definitely one of my top kaiju flicks.

I blame Golden Axe for perpetuating unrealistic body standards, particularly for dwarves.

I accidentally started on nightmare mode.

Hmm it think I shouldn’t be something reliant on Crits, as all damage types benefit from them.

Perhaps inflicting bleed on max damage? 🩸

I was also considering something like bludgeoning weapons have ADV on damage vs armoured opponents? Either that or AC bonuses from armour are partially ignored.

I’m musing that piercing weapons should perhaps all have the possibility of exploding damage dice (as a reflection of hitting a vital organ). 🏹

If so, then I think bludgeoning and slashing types should also have additional mechanics, to keep piercing from being the ideal damage type. 🤔

One possible way to make daggers deadlier is giving them damage dice that exploding on their highest result. That means probability-wise a d4 would have a higher chance of doing increased damage.

To prevent weapon damage creep have it only apply to daggers and perhaps only in certain situations.

I concur that I feel the humble d4 dagger could be deadlier. I also like the concept of basing all weapon damage off of class HD, such as in Dungeon World, a good reflection martial training and experience.

Also means you can have wizards with swords without worrying about class balance. 🧙⚔️🧙‍♂️

Shieldice maybe made it. Not signed

Well mine is today so *I* don’t have to, at least for today.

This auspicious day shares both the anniversary release of The Legend of Zelda, as well as my own release into the world a year prior. ♥️♥️♥️

💯

True that. Sometimes all it takes is a short d6 table to provide a bit of inspiration!

Nice! I especially like tying in distance for Encounters. Works very well given Shadowdark’s primary ranges are Close, Near and Far.

Brilliant! Much obliged! Plans on providing filler results for the entire die?

If I’m brave enough, I might come down from the great white north for Between Two Cons. 👍

Bummer. I literally work next door to these guys. Cheers 🍻

A plus side I suppose is Phillips Brewing might be moving in?

Tonight’s feature B-Film: The Magic Serpent aka Dragon Showdown by Toei Films. A fantasy kaiju film set in feudal Japan. A loose retelling of the tale ‘Jiraiya’, one of vengeance with plenty of ninjutsu and ridiculous special effects.

Fun as hell. 🐉
