Boxed Text and Bullet Points: Room 16 of the Old Island Fortress

This is a response to Solo’s video about Boxed Text vs. Bullet Point formatting in adventure writing (Solomoriah Speaks E19). The video is a defense of the Basic Fantasy house style of using boxed text. He invited viewers to take a crack at re-formatting Room 16: Rabbit Hole of Morgansfort’s Old Isl...

Re: The Dark Temple CONTEST ENTRY THREAD

Well, I'm not going to make the deadline. I still plan to upload my adventure once it's finished though, if for no other reason than to share my ideas. Hopefully, I'll get it done by this end of this weekend. Good luck to those of you who were able to complete it by the deadline, and thanks to Solo ...

Re: The Dark Temple CONTEST ENTRY THREAD

I'm furiously trying to finish my submission in time for the deadline. I'm not sure I'll make it. I have a few more questions. 1. If we don't make the deadline for the contest, are we still welcome to submit it to the Workshop anyway for possible inclusion in a future anthology? Or will only the val...

Re: AA2 Adventure Anthology 2

I took a look this morning at R30 and I can't see any flow issues. I checked to make sure the Contents page numbers matched and they did. I searched for any page references in the text of the adventures that might have been affected and couldn't find any. I did notice one issue from R29 that seemed ...

Re: AA2 Adventure Anthology 2

I just got AA2, CS1, and the Equipment Emporium from Lulu. They look great. I did notice though that "The Raid on Aquila Tower" from AA2 has two blank pages (pg. 66 and 67). I'm not sure if this is a big deal since it doesn't appear that anything was missing from the adventure. The art and...

Re: The Dark Temple CONTEST ENTRY THREAD

Awesome! I'm in, but I have a couple questions. 1. Is it okay to include new monsters, BF-official monsters with altered stats, new spells, or new magic items? Or is it the preference, for the purpose of this contest, to stick to standard BF monsters and magic? I thought I remembered that the standa...

Re: Slateholm Nights

I know this is an old thread, but I thought it might be best to post this here. I'm probably finishing up my Western Lands campaign this month after a year and a half. Although my group only spent a few games in Slateholm I ended up creating some notes, rumors, NPC lists, encounters tables, etc. so ...

GM use of Geas and Quest in Morgansfort game

I just watched a live play on IvanMike1968’s YouTube channel (great channel btw) where an NPC used Quest on a PC to crusade for a religious cause. It was organic, made sense in the context of the game, made the character and story develop in an interesting way, and was just an all-around cool use of...

Inspiring OSR Community Art

I'm not sure if it's okay to post a G+ link to the forums, but I thought some people would appreciate this piece. I didn't post this to the Artwork forum because it's not my work. Feel free to move or delete if this isn't the right place. I don't know if he's a member here or not, but Matt Sutton po...

Re: Ability checks

Another way to do it is use the general d6 door checks (open stuck door, find secret door, listen at door - pg. 37) as a guide, where you assign a DC on the d6 and apply the relevant ability modifier. The book uses a base 1 in 6 chance (16.667%), but you can easily make it a 2 in 6 or a 3 in 6 depen...
