I do yeah. I also have a mother-in-law who was an emergency room nurse for all her adult life. With the caveat that the politics of the situation is not something we're going to discuss, if you are injured you can: Go to an Urgent Care or go to an Emergency Room. (ER). Urgent Care may or may...

My bucket list in no particular order: 1) Drakar och Demoner 2016 2) Actually finish running Torshem 3) Another long Harnmaster campaign 4) BRP Middle Earth 5) A Napoleonic wars historical campaign, probably using GURPS 6) Another Eon campaign (3 or 4) 7) Advanced Fighting Fantasy 2 campaign 8)...

That sounds like a ton of fun. Realizing that you've been playing a reskinned adventure all along would be a really cool moment.

I thought this would be fun: A series of posts where we discuss the various old DoD campaigns in no particular order. As always, you are welcome to reply in English or Swedish as you prefer. So first up is the three parter "Ärans Väg" (the first three part campaign they did?) Did you run or...

since we are complaining about layout, can RPG publishers finally get on board and clearly separate out flavor description and rules text for spells? Both D&D and White Wolf games are terrible about this.

I think a lot of it is companies copying what they see in the market, which tends to be very "comic book" looking books. I also sort of suspect that the fact so many people buy books to read, not to play (which isn't American-specific I should think) incentivizes companies to make books that...

Oh, I meant to ask for you or others: It stood out to me tht you are knocked out at 0 KP and die at any negatives. Did you houserule that or just keep it?

As an aside, I just received my physical copy of the monster book. It is a rather handsome book, both cover and interior art.

Heck yeah. Will it get a physical release?

Definitely eager to play Kopparhavet but we're taking a detour currently (Lone Wolf and Call of Cthulhu) so it will probably be a little while before we get to play that.

As usual, apologies for typing in English. You are free to respond in Swedish or English as you prefer. So as I mentioned on the forum, I ran HT for my American (and one Egyptian) friend for around 11 months of regular sessions. I'd done a translated cheat sheet of the rules and skill lists and...

I was worried about the "stances" in combat would work with then+/- 20 to hit, but they worked out pretty well ?

I don't mind a little bit of "skill pushing" as long as the group is on the same page. "Can we roll history to see if we know anything about the monastery" might be skill pushing but it also adds to the game. But it never hurts to have extra options!

I appreciate it and good to hear! How much extra did you give after each adventure, if you happen to remember?

While I know this game was controversial, this thread isn't for rehashing what was promised or delivered from the kickstarter, the "new" Ereb Altor box or any of that. It is specifically to talk about the actual game, particularly from people who have played it. There's a lot in the new book...

We did chat about reducing a lot of the requirements to the 60 or 70% range.

After chatting to some of the group last night, next time we play, we'll probably be dropping the "bonus" experience checks. I do like that they are basically a checklist of how to play an RPG session, but I think we'd like advancement to be slightly slower. For a shorter campaign, the current...

We did use Hjältarnas Väg and enjoyed it a lot. We did run into a bit of trouble because we hadn't really planned in advance, which meant some of the players were struggling to get the specific skills for the things they wanted. With foreknowledge, it'd have been fine. The "Relationer"...

So I ran a weekly game for my American (and one Egyptian) friends for a bit over half a year and we definitely noticed that skills were starting to be more or less maxed out by the end. Since you get a chance for improvement as long as you attempt the skill, plus multiple bonus checks, you...

When we played Harnmaster, we did use "Watches" because immeeeeeeersion, but in general I say "About an hour" or so. It just ends up being easier for the players to understand what is happening.
