I really look at this book set as a framework for my game, that's exactly what i wanted out of it. I think adventure modules are a great idea for it... I love the rogue-like crawl system, but a solid story driven adventure would be fun.
@@NojoysSideshow That is what I am leaning towards. Something like Keep on the Boarderlands. A bit of story and some key locations but enough to open space to explore. One of the best things about gaming is discovery and finding or creating new parts of the story.
In dragon bane the “Monsters” always hit. But, humanoid enemies attack the same way as player characters. To be fair, folks like you and myself-we play a lot of different game systems. It’s unrealistic to hold a person to a standard as though they should have an encyclopedic memorization of all the games they play!
@@DeadMarsh Thank you for understanding we are not perfect and just need to step up when we make a mistake. I will be spending more time with these rules for future games. They are fun to play.
I love Blood Bowl, but sadly no players around and not a game that seems proper to solo 😂. I do enjoy Battle Ball by MB for solo though and scratches the itch!
I don't play video games however BB is the one exception. I have it for my X-box 360 and it plays just like the real game and provides that solo experience. The reason I say that is because the computer cheats like you would not believe. For some reason it makes all it rolls while all you roll are skulls lol. It is a great game and even thou I don't get to play it as much I still like painting up teams and talking about it.
yet to play the updated version but i find it baffling that such a game doesn`t include ranged combat rules while including skills that enhance it. I talked to the guy wit some suggestions and he was super disinterested in discussing but he was super nice so there`s that. systems should be complete and houseruling should be an option not a necessity.
Agreed, I am going to approach this game like the author of Shadowdark. I will play it and add some simple house rules that add to the game and corrects some of the things missing. Than I will have a game I can call my own like players did back in the day.
Random recommendations tourist here. I am sure you get this question constantly and it must be annoying, but my insatiable curiosity still demands I ask it regardless, even though it is unrelated to RPGs... What's the story with your right index finger?
LOL you are the first to ask on TH-cam. The real story is not that exciting so I have made up a series of stories for different social moments. The truth is just a small child of 2 years and put it in a bicycle sprocket and now it is gone. Thanks for stopping by maybe you can stay and come up with creative stories on how I lost my finger.
@@solitaryrpg I was honestly kind of hoping something like that was the answer. Probably means you don't remember it happening and acclimatized to your specific hand configuration naturally during childhood. As for making up stories for losing one's fingers-the lathe or table saw work accident is always my favorite, even if one doesn't actually use said power tools. Just makes one seem more badass.
@@Maxie962 The story I tell the most has to do with my career. I am an Animal Control Officer and people ask me if I have ever been bitten. I hold up my missing finger and say, Once. It really starts a great conversation and I will leave them with that story. I lost it when I was so young there is no real emotional trauma around it. I am now using both hands for different things in life. I use my left hand for writing and eating but my right hand for physical activities like throwing or punching. you might have noticed that in my videos. I pick up the dice and roll them with my right hand naturally but I write left handed. Fun Facts
@@solitaryrpg Ooh... That's a good story. Perfect really. And yeah, I can definitely see how naturally and seamlessly you adapted. I actually really, really like the way you hold the die between your thumb and middle finger, even beyond being just a simple adaptation for an injury. It's cool.
@@Maxie962 Back in the 70's that was all we could do. When I was young I wanted to play bass guitar and people told me I would have to use a pick. Now I play all the time using my fingers. Just had to focus and develop my own style of playing. People can do amazing things if they put their minds towards it.
