eepjr24 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I tried turning the evil cult into fantast hero. But how to make the d&d spells into Hero system slowed me down till I moved on to something else. http://www.killershrike.com/FantasyHERO/HighFantasyHERO/MagicSystems/VancianSpells/ActiveSpellsList.aspx?

Christopher R Taylor Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I finished a remake/homage to In Search of the Unknown with Two Kings Keep, probably next year before I get to the KOTB re-imagining. But it will be in the same area, and part of an campaign introduction package of adventures and setting if all goes as planned: here's a location, adventures set in it, maps, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardsman Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 The guards in the keep didn't stand a chance in D&D. By the time you finished cleaning out the Caves the PCs were all level 5-6 and were like unto gods compared to normals with 3 hit points. This is why we housed ruled your hit points at first level were full dice. Yeah battle harden guards in the wilderness with 3 hit points.

Steve Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 In the gaming circle I ran with back then, you earned a certain amount of respect for playing a first level wizard or thief with one hit point and somehow managing to get them to second level.

Ninja-Bear Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 This is why we housed ruled your hit points at first level were full dice. Yeah battle harden guards in the wilderness with 3 hit points. Yeah but if you at cinema or fiction and on how easily guards get killed. 3 HP is about right. Heck this season on game of thrones the one big guard gets stabbed in the back and dies without so much as slapping the attacker. I cried BS because any other time a big person never dies so quickly and without some sort of a fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 The hit point system in D&D is never, ever going to make sense, so I wouldn't bother trying to justify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmower Boy Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 "Look at the encounter table. All of the other 0 experience point small animal encounters come in a variable range. 1-12 rats, 2-5 squirrels, etc. Except flying squirrels. You get five flying squirrels every time. With a THACO of 20, they hit AC 10 exactly 50% of the time. Swoop! The flying squirrels come through your party, doing exactly 2.5hp of damage to the magic user. Who has, on average, 2.5hp. Coinciidence? I don't think so. "So as you roll up your next character, take comfort in the fact that Gary wanted it to happen this way."

I find it no less abstract as any other game mechanic but it might be because Im abstract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardsman Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 RQ had Snake Pipe Hollow and Apple Lane. I did see an apple lane conversion for D&D in Dragon back in the TSR days. Yeah we had to flesh out the keep on the border ourselves. Came up with the backstory fort the caves of Darkness(Chaos). It became the seed of a much larger campaign. Then we all branched out into new systems MERP, Hero, RQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
