But it’s not gonna be random. My players gunslinger will have the choice between two doors. One of them will be labeled Dorothy Gale. The other will be labeled Michael Nicholas Darling. (ttrpg.network)

Review of we deal in lead. This RPG is a unabashed ripoff of the Dark Tower series by Stephen King but it is really well done in an excellent translation into games they can work with a lot of different things, but if using the rules of Cairn, a rules light and free Osr DD variant.

Oz and Neverland by Andrew Kolb are very well reviewed RPG Settings that take the original books and mix them with really interesting new things.

As I said in the title, my player will get to choose where he goes from the one shot that starts off the game tonight.

I’m very excited!

Wish me luck everybody. I’ve been out of the game for several months, so this is me dusting myself off and getting back on the horse.

🙏❤️

Haven't heard of this system and my players wouldn't like it that much I suspect... But I know someone who'd love it.

That’s awesome! What are the things that I really like about the rpg scene days is that there’s literally something for everyone. I know a role-playing game about a family that runs a Chinese restaurant in the 30s that’s being attacked by demons. I know a game about the experience of minority Canadians in World War I. That’s a really really specific experience!

So I will say cairn is free so if you wanna check out the chassis you can look at it there’s a lot of cairn hacks, but they basically add details to make it fit the genre they want.

They all have only three statistics and auto hit. That’s right, under normal circumstances you do not roll to hit you just do damage. We deal and let is slightly different when you use artifact guns but it’s still mostly like that.

Do you have a favorite very specific niche system right now?

Because I’m a huge fan of Dungeons & Dragons, but sometimes I just like to do something weird.

Thanks again for your comment!

Technically Cairn is an Into the Odd hack. If you like Cairn, you should check out the original too. It was recently rereleased on DrivethruRPG

Plus, there's a really nice hardback version from Free League that I just got. I haven't run it yet, but it's really cool and now I want to get the expansion Electric Bastionland, which has 200 pages of random character origins (which really double as classes in Into the Odd)

But before I buy any more have books, first I need to finish reading through Forbidden Lands and then find a group that will play Mörk Borg/CY_Borg/Pirate Borg. And I should probably wait for a few Kickstarter products like Knave 2 and Ronin to get here, too.

I may have a problem with buying every cool OSR book I see...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Oh yeah!

And also apparently Knave? Been, Milton is listed in the credits page.

I actually own both of those, and I’m saving up my pennies for print copies of the remastered of into the odd. electric bastion land and mythic bastion land.

I’m really excited about mythic bastion land actually.

Thank you so much for mentioning this! I just love how all of the systems kind of like speciate and them are still very highly a usable together.

I’m going to be honest with you. I never running module in the system is intended for these days and I never have any problems.

Thanks again!

My group is very much tied to d&d. I've got like a dozen of systems that I want to try out cause they look interesting (Cthulhu Tech being one I've always wanted to try, but I just found a game called Shield Maidens)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Ooh. I just checked out shield maidens, and it looks amazing!

I Love melding, science-fiction and fantasy and Norse myth together.

I watched a friend play too human, and it looks dreadful, but the story was amazing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Too_Human

It was set thousands of years in the past, and basically the easier were cybernetic post humans and the frost giants were artificial intelligences.

Balder was declared to human by the rest of the gods, because he didn’t want to cybernetic ally enhance self in the distance himself from humanity.

I hope you’re having a great Friday. Thanks again for your awesome comments.

So game went great! I’m gonna go right up a session report and put it on the RPG community. We had to end early because of migraines, but we got a almost two hours in! And it was really fun.
