I recently bought Wight Box, and my son and I have been playing through random terrain and a randomly developed Appendix A dungeon. I've spent the last half a year or so figuring out Chainmail and I just wanted to let you know that channels like yours and Jon Mollison's have been fantastic in this regard!
Obviously the dragon knew the giant weasel was there, and that it was above his weight class. He was probably laughing the whole time at the idea of sending your party against it.
@@TheBasicExpert Not unexpected but seeing how the guy that put the book together runs things definitely will help with the aspects I cannot grok like weapon class and such
@@Rannos22 I need to make a chart for weapon class that shows the weapon match ups and what is possible with those match ups, so you just reference a chart and it tells you if you can parry or, first strike, or whatever.
@@TheBasicExpert That would be extremely helpful because as is we basically just dont use it. Especially since my PCs only run into enemies with actual weapons less than half the time anyways
Seriously, pulling in the flavors of the elder church traditions is a big win for ancient/medieval vibes. With a good grounding in ancient myths of the Levant and Persia, and in Islam the other side of the medieval vibe could be created. That sort of game setting would probably benefit from coasts, grasslands, desert and mountains, with forests de-emphasized, appearing primarily in hills, with almost no deep woods or jungle. I'm personally not interested in simulating conflict between different monotheisms, so having both in the same game might be a little much, but parallel flavors are cool.

I prefer these unedited solo playthroughs. Hope you do more.
Yes!
I have also named wizards with "Sleep" after sleeping aids before lmao.
It's just funny given the names of those drugs. They sound like wizard names.
Nice man. I’m here for this

Do you have any fog of war for the overworld map (when playing with a group)?
