Especially talking about melee weapons.
What system has the best stat and modificator differences when it comes to dealing with the tactical advantages of melee weapons?
I am currently homebrewing a fantasy combat system, and while I have a boner for how medieval weapons were actualy used, i do not plan to go for simulationism but rather for applying bonusses and stats in a way that they are being advantagous in similiar situations.
Game balance is important here too, since throwing anything lesser than a polearm into sidearm category wouldnt be in favor of what i've intended to do

It's a pretty simplistic system, but I rather like Fire Emblem's "weapon triangle" system, if only because it gives a legitimate reason to use all the weapon types in the game instead of one of them just being the flatout best.

Have you ever travelled to the goodly upper planes?
I was thinking about it the other day and all my planar travel in games have been to the lower planes.

In my setting I call the upper/godly planes "Paradiso". Most of the time when someone would want to go to these places they would do it for pilgrimage or monetary gain by stealing the precious metals and magic materials these planes are often made of.
However, when you planes walk you leave a sliver of "soul crystal" behind that connects you to that plane of existence. So a thief stealing jewels from the golden halls might find themselves more inclined to be altruistic, despite selfish tendencies. The same effect happens when travelling to planes of hate, fire, nature etc.
>>
>>53190766
The Beastlands and Ysgard are both great places to visit for adventure. Bytopia, or Mt. Celestia, not so much. At least, not for anything but really spiritual stuff. Oceanus is pretty cool, too.
>>
>>53190766
Yes. You have NO IDEA how annoying as fuck the locals of the upper planes can be. Think televangelists. Think born-again Christians. Think Jehovah's Witnesses. Then make it worse, because they KNOW they're right.
...Needless to say, that campaign ended messily.

I run games using the most modern rules-light stuff out there (e.g. players make up their skill lists) and I've found old monster manuals, random encounter tables, and dungeon designs to be incredibly useful. Thanks for keeping this stuff alive, OSR community.

Should I just bite the bullet and play solo? I like the game, but I usually enjoy things like this more with friends.
>>
>>53142809
Might as well try it, but take your time. I've fucked up in solo play more than I would like to admit and made myself redo a fight once because I just didn't notice something with my single set of human eyes.

Does anyone still have that template for making new Kingdom Death stuff? I remember it being posted months ago, but I cant seem to find it in the archives.
I'm planning on writing up Kingdom Death stats for some of the monsters in the recently released Dark Souls boardgame. Probably Titanite Demon, Belltower Gargoyal, Frost Knight... Maaaaaybe Ornstein and Smough if I can figure out a good system for them?
