Posting to get some more feedback before I put this on the drive.

What do you do when you don't have any pressing issues, your own or anyone else's, to solve or mitigate?

It is literally just "roll 2d6, on a 7-9 you win but feel bad, on a 10+ you win"

It encourages players to define the setting rather than being part of it - stuff like letting them decide what rumours they hear in town. The sense of entitlement this creates is then exported to other games.

>>50159094
Have you played or at least read Apocalypse World?
Because that would make the explanation a lot easier.

>>50159094
there's nothing bad about it, it does what it sets out to do, be an extremely simplistic system

But its also horridly limited by being an extremely simplistic system. Thats not fun for me. Its great for others but its not really what i'm looking for.

>why
It looks silly. Bikes in general look silly in any genre that isn't aimed at young adults. Adults who ride bikes in real life look silly.

See the movie Turbokid for further research.

Once you have the know-how, skateboards can be easily pulled off in medieval settings.

Why aren't they seen more, then? People carry over lots of stuff from modern into medieval, but so rarely carry over skateboards.

Sure, primitive ones can't beat a horse, but they are cheaper than battle horses, light, don't need food...

How would inclusion of skateboards change a regular medieval fantasy setting?

What were the terms of the unholy pact?

The spirit imprint of the Orichcalcum has already moved into the great beyond from the prayer/heroic sacrifice one two punch. What is left to enforce and empower said pact with the gnome?

Unless you meant the Forest Spirit was allowed to pass on while the Dorf Imprint still seethes with purposes unfulfilled.

I'd say boon/bane because the rogue is now a double agent for a fossilized life extraction engineer.

>>50159536
We faded to black after the gnome requested terms. The pact was made prior to the demise of the entity. Perhaps a power or two in exchange for borrowing his vessel three times at the entities choosing?

I'd say it still resides within the gnome, perhaps sensing what was about to occur. It took refuge when the pact was offered.

Let's say +2 con and access to some necromancy spells I've cooked up custom wise for the necromancy school. Cause 5e borked it hard. Or just a, three times per day, bonus action aoe life drain in a 5ft burst. 2d8 necrotic damage to all enemies in the burst gain temp hp equal to half damage dealt?

Thanks for the response, btw. Appreciate it.

>>50159536
Also, yes the forest spirit passed on, the elven guide became a dryad sapling in the remains of the old forest spirits tree, and the thanks to your input the life extraction engineer seethes inside the gnome now. It seems more fitting.

Bump X2

>>50155970
Never played it but the differences to earlier edition don't seem that great. Attributes are x5 now, on a d100 scale. You have advantaged/disadvantage similar to D&D (reroll take highest/lowest). If you have run D&D before, it's a gradual change. Should be compatible with old scenarios too once you understand the changes made.

But maybe someone better informed can help you out more.

>editions
CoC is not an editions game like DnD. It remains fully compatible. You can play old materials with the new crunch and vice versa, the conversion can be done on the fly it's so simple.

The main difference is in shifting the game from a keeper vs investigators crunch (that never matched the game dynamic anyway) to a more story involved mode. But the alterations are minor and entirely optional.

The biggest change is pushing and luck spending. These are 2 simple ways to pass failed skill checks after the fact by raising the stakes. It gives players more meta power while also handing them more rope to hang their own characters with. And it connects onto the existing rules but doesn't change them around radically. If you don't want to you can simply not. But I would. It's really good!

Skills got reordered with some sense. I like it. Social skills, which are essential, are more structured. Melee combat got streamlined for narrative freedom and less pointless skill point absorption. It's just good housekeeping.

Sanity remains structurally the same but got expanded with tables of keeper options and detailed examples of sanity effects. What used to be all up to the keeper who maybe got the support of an unstructured list of outdated diagnoses now has bloomed into a functional framework of game effects that stem from san loss. It makes sanity more of a story element and less of a countdown. Sanity remains the most precious character resource along with health, and now luck has joined the countdown. But the new sanity takes that decay and fleshes it out in character terms involving character background, off screen moments, trust within the group, just all kinds of ways to make it matter in game terms and the story that creates.

I still don't like the heavy weapons and explosives, but that was never what CoC is about and the few climactic instances it comes into play can be houseruled or resolved by fiat easily.

I imagine that since TSons had such heavy losses all the time, they would have more dreads than normal

That moment when you favorite legion won't get anything added for a long time.

Source on them leaving Terra? Wouldn't be surprising though, GW hasn't given a single shit about the fluff for quite some time now.

I think the Guardsmen are just too dim or ignorant to properly set them at full power.

>>50148061
The Last March of the Ents is pretty damn solid. Though there are some great moments in LotR outside the action sequences, like Gandalf's wisdom

>So do all who live in such times, but it is not for them to decide
>What matters is what we do with the time we are given

Lord of the Rings, for all the DM of the Rings jokes, is a pretty great campaign in the sense that there's just as much time experiencing the beauty of the world and learning great morals as there is on awesome action sequences.

>>50148061
I got shivers from them both. THe power that these movies held over a young me is hard to explain. And when I read the books that power was redoubled. Yes, We've been inundated by tolkienesque fantasy, But... It is certainly for a good reason. LoTR is a very powerful set of fictions.

Dude that's my favorite Traditional Games as well!
