Thread: Feasting, Drinking & Lustful Pleasures

Sounds good so far, I might actually be interested. Although the system also has some of the flaws attached to the retro feel, like there being no reason for any fighter type NOT to wear plate mail. By the way, is there a good implementation for the Monk class available for Basic Fantasy? I have found the Adept of the Great Way, but that one is almost as bad as the 1st edition ADD Monk. I.e. it scales horribly and takes away all the fun of gathering loot - which is one of the key retro features.
Thread: Feasting, Drinking & Lustful Pleasures

Well it's not always practical to wear plate armour, for purposes of encumbrance or depending upon the situation. Like a high society ball. Now I've not really seen anything for the monk. There is this blog post . Labyrinth Lord Advance has a monk. Swords and Wizardry Complete also has one but that costs money. If you want a look at it I could type it up. I don't know how they compare to the ADD version, or the Oriental Adventures one. Haven't done a side by side comparison.
Thread: Feasting, Drinking & Lustful Pleasures

On the risk of sounding overly picky, but both suggestions you linked to ... suck. The Labyrinth Lord Advance version is the 1st edition ADD one in all its miserable glory, and the blog post one is not even giving any AC bonuses whatsoever, actually encouraging the monk to wear armor. Meh... The way I see it a Monk should be defined by the following - greatly encouraged by the rules to fight unarmed and unarmored - lower hit points than a fighter but better AC and saving throws - damage output should be roughly comparable to a fighter I would definitely try to restrict the monk's ability to use magic items as little as possible, otherwise its class based AC increase and the like will have to be carefully balanced against the expected item progression of the rest of the group. The way the Monk was handled in 3.5 seems liek a good starting point. However ... The third point in the above list makes granting any extra attacks a bit iffy, as in Basic Fantasy a Fighter as I understood it will be limited to one attack per round for her entire career. I am also not sure how to work in increasing hand-to-hand damage in a way that allows the two classes to keep pace with each other.
Thread: Feasting, Drinking & Lustful Pleasures

I was never a monk player, so I can't claim to know the ends and outs of them. So let's build a better monk. If there's an issue with granting multiple attacks then what could be done is rolling multiple die and taking the high roll. As for the damage, instead of increasing the dice size you could have it be exploding. You can also open it up with better bonuses to grapple, for Basic Fantasy RPG you can remove the negative modifiers for brawling. Just ideas to start.

Fighter Options ,Fighters and only Fighters, can specialize in a weapon and get over time more attacks its in the optional rules on the site. I will note however this is not a complex game a dragon is tough but not the magic resistant force of doom in DnD 3.5 any mid level party with planning can beat one. It would hurt, be risky and a dragon will fight smart if mature. Okay on classes I'm allowing Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Sorcerer Optional Class and Thief gets a D6 HD. Class optional rules will be used. And some house rules when I do the rules. All will get background traits considered if your a fighter raised in the woodlands rangers sorts of skills are assumed, its an ability roll off the highest of Intelligence or Wisdom. The combinations with Magic User use Sorcerer so it would be Combo SorcererThief D6 HD and FighterSorcerer. Races must have access to both and not be Human Elf, Gnome and Half-Elf. But invoking my amazing GM powers, feel its awesomeness, if you want to take a background traits rule for raised in some order of exotic fighters we can do a Martial Artist sort of Fighter. Unarmed Attacks will be weapons and you can do 1d4 Damage unarmed, if punching with Brass Knuckles or something it will do 1d6 and Kick for 1d6 once a round plus can take Fighter specialization in unarmed fighting. The trade off no armor over leather can be worn but I will add a perk every fifth level add 1 to your AC. Dexterity is added to AC naturally. And there will be two allowed other weapons the Iron Ring Staff does 1d8 Damage and Shuriken will do 1d4 Damage with a Range of a dagger you spent all your time mastering other skills. Unarmed fighting including with hand worn weapons is generally where you go to in a fight.

Where are the details for these other classes? And I'm not sure what I'd play, it'd depend upon the settingstarting location.

I will do a precise list when we get to the rules and character creation time. Sorcerer is there, and the optional races half-races and gnomes specifically. I'm going to be as broad as possible and yes there are adventures planned, just lots of fun with the adventures. After all you rescue hot slave women they will likely be grateful and for those inclined bit strapping men slaves. This overall I'm keeping it lower complexity but for example fighters get specialization to let them have their cool thing - taking a weapon and going at it. But I'm as flexible as possible. The game starts at the fortified independent port of Swordhaven a hive of merchant activity and where mighty adventure is in the offing, or at least can score a decent paying job.

I thank you for your valiant effort but it seems suitable Monk rules are just not feasible in this system. That is all right, I can cope. Picking from the classical canon I would tend towards either Fighter or FighterSorcerer. Plain fighters always carry the risk of becoming monotonous at higher levels, hence the plan of dual classing.

Click to expand... Magic Users are academic and use external magical force in my campaign world magic is internal in some form you are either born one or by using arcane means skin sigils, potion treatments, sucking in power stone energy or a pact with some power imbue yourself with magic. So Sorcerer fits a lot better. As for other things like backgrounds its already in there I assume if you have a backstory and it has you were raised by woods folk you can do ranger skills on a ability role. As for the other material it will be listed when the game rules and such are up.

This was an absolute treat to read. I love how it starts out with Nicolas being a seeming non-believer and then ever so slowly he transitions into someone who quite literally exorcises the house of the Lilum. It was executed well and the pacing was great. I also liked the extra characters--Sarah and April. The whole scene was something I was able to visualize and, as a visual person, this is something I value highly. So, well done there! I truly hope you continue with this story. I think it's one that needs telling because it's certainly one that is worth reading. Great job! And thanks for sharing!

Thread: Just a journal

Been a while since I've been in these parts of the internet. By no means am I the same internet personality I was back then. I don't really take any enjoyment out of trolling, egging folks on, getting a kick out of the frustrations. Doesn't mean half the people that frequent the internet aren't idiots, but I'm much more in check with just ignoring the stupid. That being said, I moved to FL not too long ago, I'm on week 3 coming up this tuesday. Things are going pretty slow, but I spent the first 2 weeks helping family and friends of family packmovestore stuff in warehouses. Had a wonderful walk on the beach, and I have to say it's amazing living so close to the beach. A bunch of alcoholics down here, but that's only really a problem if you're an alcoholic too and it brings up triggers. I'm not, I'll have a drink or two with dinner and let that be that. Not to say I won't go out and get smashed on a friday or saturday, cause that can be fun too. But I'm wanting to take everything in moderation, I think that's just about the best way to do anything, in moderation. Other than that, I'm studying for my A exam, working on getting a full time position at a local hospital, practicing the DJ thing and also designing levels for Shadowrun Returns. Currently on EP.1 of my own story, it's taking a while but I still have faith. Well that's all for now, more updates to come.

getting tired so early. Feeling, I don't know, can't wait to start work. I don't really have a social circle down here yet and tonight feels like one of those down nights, unfortunately. Haven't had a problem with stress or any anxiety lately, but I'm starting to feel a little restless, which is natural, I want to go out and meet people, but I'm tired of only having bars as the only place for social interaction. The beach is free, which I'm grateful for, I'm thinking of starting daily bike rides. also where's my avatar icon?

Vivid dreams are always the weirdest. I've had a few that were Blind dreams in which, I felt like I was walking and driving places, knew everyone I was talking to, but the dream was just BLACK. Spooky shit. Also, lucid dreaming sucks.
Thread: Just a journal

Lucid dreaming is the 'best' dreaming. Nothing like being within your own mind, knowing it's only a dream, and then learning how to control it. From what I've read dream journals help with lucid dreaming, it's training your mind to recognize you are dreaming and then controlling the dream for your own pleasure and fun. Other than that, news update Intro and overview of my A course is finished. Only a few minor mistakes on the course overview quiz, nothing that wasn't silly and easily remembered afterwards however. Now I get into the interesting stuff. First real course is preventative maintenance, something I really could learn more about.

230 am in the east. You know a great role model of mine once said, Nothing good ever happens after 3am. Or was it 4? I can't remember, but either way, it's getting close to that time, and I think sleep is quite near. I hope I may awake in the morning, my dreams great, excellent, and memorable. I hope tomorrow is a better day than today. And I hope myself, and those I care about manage to progress themselves in some form. I love life, and I don't really want it to end just yet. My faith is shaky, my fears many. I am stressed, concerned, and troubled a great deal these days. But, I think I can overcome my fears and even one day face death without fear and with courage. Until then, I'm a coward.

I am sorry if it seems like I am MIA a lot of the time. I had a camping trip last week, but I haven't dropped our roleplays, or have lost interest in them, it's just been hard for me to write a decent response. I suppose it's because of my wrist, you see about a year and a half ago I fractured my wrist for the first time snowboarding. As of right now, it burns and it's agony, I think the doctor's may have set my wrist wrong because it is lumpy, deformed, looks different from the other wrist. So it might either be that the doctor's set it wrong, a calcium deposit or scar tissue. If the doctor's set it wrong, then they'll have to go in and rebreak it, set it right and then stick me back in a cast, so I am so terribly sorry if I may take longer to reply to our roleplays. Thanks and I hope you understand.
