Re: Iconic monsters

My guess is that a higher-level "iconic" monster should do something you don't expect, but at the same time that is "logical" according to the monster's story/legend and ecology. Hence the fact that they don't have standard stats that would soon become common knowledge among play...

Could a Mighty Deed of Arms possibly provide "better defense" on the next round ?

Re: Anybody daring to swear he doesn't roll concealed? ;)

I used to be in a D&D 3e campaign for 1 and half years and one of the player always rolled his D20 "concealed" by opening a hard cover book and rolling on the first page and then hastily removing the dice and closing the book. I don't think he ever rolled below 15 (no one could really ...

Re: Encumbrance Houserules Meanderings

Give them a moderate-sized box on their character sheet to write their equipment in and anything they can write in there (that is legible) they can carry. That's a patently unfair system - I, and a single player of the 8 at my table, can write legibly in what I would call a 6 point font. Most of my...

In my game the only concealed roll are "find trap" and such (if you don't find one, you shouldn't know it's because you failed the roll.)

Re: Encumbrance Houserules Meanderings

Think I'm going to go the easy route, and firstly be very stingy with item rewards, so it'll rarely come up, and secondly, do spot "what are you carrying and how are you carrying it" inquiries of random players. If they can't explain something, then some random piece(s) of gear will disap...

Re: d16 for ability tests? Talk me out of this idea.

Rolling 3D6 makes "average" character: most have 10 or 11 stats, exceptionally one gets a 17 or 18 or a 3 or 4. So character are normal dude, with maybe one or two very "abnormal/special" stat. It's all good and well. Now, you certainly could use 3D6 (or 3D8 or 4D10 or whatever c...

Great fan of The Enemy within also. Maybe Insanity could easily be incorporated into the magic Corruption mechanism: minor, major, greater, and a new table: insanity corruption.

Saw them live a couple of months ago, they were intense.

One can simply use TWO boxes for each spell:name + effects, that could work OK.

Re: DCC and AD&D

I agree 100%, the CD were fun and a mood-changing experience. As for Mark of Amber it is a full-blown sequel, set some 20 years in the future. A complicated whodunit involving literally dozens of Amberville from 4 generations! There is also a dream sequence where the party revisit some part of the o...
