Re: methods for increasing the pace

just gonna lay this out here, no judgements on your game... I find that 2 hours is an extremely small timeframe and that after all the slightly late arrivals, a little chit-chat, and any technical issues, there isn't much time left for the game itself so the story doesn't progress much. If possible ...

Re: "Inventory slot" system

This all just seems more complicated. If you want easy just handwave carrying capacity and use common sense adjudications like "the 3 ft tall solid iron statue weighs too much for a person to carry alone with magical or mechanical help" or "there is roughly 700lbs of silver bars in th...

Re: I saw the movie

Just got back from seeing it today. Was wanting to boycott but felt like we need more fantasy movies and didn't want to "cut off my nose to spite my face". I also heard it was good. My take: I loved it...seeing and hearing about the various locales, races, organizations, and people of the ...

Re: BFRPG Gift Set Challenge

Wal-mart and Target have good dice sets that are about half the price of a normal dice set. I believe around $7. For miniatures, if you are inclined to use them AND find a good battlemap solution, I would go with paper minis. Super inexpensive if not free and easy to find and print more online. For ...

Re: The Ranger seems a little unbalanced

So he has a 5-15% better chance to hit at range with a longbow over a fighter with a big weapon in melee? Remember that if using the ranger, you have to compare to a fighter that gets weapon specialization which gives increasing bonuses to hit, damage, and additional attacks as he levels. What does ...

Re: Game time to real time

I feel like this whole issue is just a bad understanding of the rules and a desire to be right. I have been playing since 1979 with so many groups I can barely recount them all and no one ever played this way or mentioned playing in this manner...and many of my tablemates were proud to say they had ...

Re: The detours of the OSR or the Gonnerman and Goodman Effect.

I have a friend who ordered the Old School Essentials books and it cost him a small fortune, but he doesn't want them used for fear they'll be damaged. I find it amusing. If a friend spills pepsi on the Basic Fantasy rulebook, I'm not going to cry murder. In fact, it will remind me with a certain n...

Re: Gothic Horror

To me something like "gothic horror" is flavor. I don't think there is much needed to turn normal BFRPG into a gothic horror genre. Flavor text, a focus on certain monsters, maybe add a fear save or something...but it is really more about the monsters and flavor. What else was people think...
