A lot of interesting replies and differing experiences, which is what I was hoping for :) I assume rälsning is railroading right? I think it's true that DoD does not really take steps to prevent that because it just wasn't a consideration yet in the industry. You can see from some of the best...

Greetings gang and my apologies for writing in English. You are welcome to respond in Swedish or English as you prefer. I have always had a lot of fondness for the venerable Drakar och Demoner, growing up with the Danish version of the rules (corresponding to the 1987 version of the rules +...

That sounds very good and keeping the "classic swedish adventure game" feeling up to date perfectly. Thanks!

Is the challenge dying.. or the fact that you could die? For several years, I have run games with all dice rolls in plain sight. They see the attack and damage rolls. They know that what the dice say is what happens. And when we started doing that, the character death rate basically cratered...

Bestiary book!

As always apologies for English. Respond in Swedish or English as you prefer (or ignore the post if it's actually stupid :) ) I feel like most discussions about difficulty, challenge, balance etc. fundamentally come down to two things: A: People not taking a look at the genre they are playing...

Any idea of how far we are from release then? I have money burning in my pockets and I need ducks for my current campaign :D

Appreciate the input

Backed and got a couple of my American friends in on it too.

Appreciate the answers from both of you. I think "one person rolls, with help" is probably the solution I am looking for. That way, having a group search an area is more effective than having one person do it (which makes sense) but its not the usually guaranteed success that having everyone...

Something else that came up. The group is searching a location. Should !: A Ask them to have one character roll and only that person gets a check ? B Ask them all to roll? C Ask them to have one character roll but everyone gets a check ? D As A or D but a random person rolls. (or something...

Thats what I meant in the original post, I just typed it weird :)

I cannot believe I didn't think to check the monster abilities. Thanks!

Appreciate your takes on it. I'll keep pondering on what feels best for Q2 but I appreciate your thoughts :)

In last nights game, we had some goblins with poisoned arrows and I realized I wasn't sure how to handle it. On a whim, I decided that if the character didn't take damage to Hälsa (i.e. they still had Gard) left, it meant the arrow didn't actually injure them, just bounced off their armor and...

This is true, but the thinking was if people want to use Pendragon style rolls (highest under skill) then you'd get a weird situationwhere you want to roll a 1 OR as high as possible. If you use "subtract my level of success from the parry roll" (which some skills in Expert used anyways) then...

As usual ,apologies for English. Feel free to reply in Swedish or English as you prefer. So from what I gather, there's been a lot of words written about the 2016 Drakar och Demoner. I rather like it, so this isn't a complaining thread, but a common thing I see people raise is that they were...

That's great to hear. I suppose since it's stand alone, you are looking at the core rules and all the setting so it's not as bad as it sounds. Will definitely get this then.

Appreciate that as well. Very useful.

Greetings. As an old fan of DoD, I was curious to hear what the perception was in general. I've been fairly pleasantly surprised at the 2016 rules, but there are areas I feel were poor decisions. Now, to clarify, I was not expecting a straight reprint of the 87 book. I know some people were...
