I’ve come to realise that, for me, simple β€˜roll to hit’ (be it static AC or THAC0) is not as satisfying as a contested roll. The BRP style (Pendragon, Call of Cthulhu) or defence/parry roll of Warhammer and Mythras is both more dramatic and a better simulation of individual combat.

Now on DTRPG. Again, it’s free, including two maps and an original monster, the Bound Knight, an undead created through vile rituals that trap a good soul in a decaying corpse, making them watch its fell deeds.

A new, FREE, scenario incoming this week (I hope).

The Red Band’s Lair. Home to mercenaries disguised as common bandits and a locked crypt with a horrifying secret.

I have to say, as the parent of a Gen Alpha, I’m slightly disappointed there aren’t more Sigmar Boy memes.

In your lore, do tieflings only come from human lineages? Why only those when there must also have been evil/desperate halflings or dwarves who make pacts with devils?

Welcome to the Young Heroes Guild! | Young Heroes Guild Get more from Young Heroes Guild on Patreon

So… deep breath, I’m doing the thing.

I’ve launched under a new name: Young Heroes Guild. That’s the banner I’ll be creating under from now on, and it feels really good to say that out loud.

The name is inspired by my sons, Astor and Jack β€” two fearless storytellers who remind me

Some worlds just don’t work for #dnd or other fantasy games cos you have to shoehorn in all of the optional species and present them as living within easy-ish access of one another…

Down the stairs in the top right are some hidden secrets that even the mercs haven’t found yet.

Similarly with how world-builders may take disparate ideas or use the results of random tables to weave a coherent setting, archaeologists must interpret the incomplete, fragmented range of material they excavate from the ground to offer a picture of the past that best fits those patterns.

You have been around horses and other riding or pack animals all your life. You have cared for them, trained them, driven or ridden them, eaten and slept alongside them. Deep knowledge and experience help you to read the animals’ body language and predict their actions or reactions.

First run of Pirate Borg was good fun. A good old cursed ship adventure.

Had to just run it for two and one of them couldn’t roll above a 10 all night, which slowed combat down a bit.

Still, they embraced the death and chaos. I think every attempt to shoot a gun rolled a misfire.

The earliest and lowest layer was part of the same cultural tradition as those above. A smaller, self-sufficient settlement but one where intricate crafting took place and early ironwork was made or imported.

What’s your interpretation of these patterns?
