I'm still laughing about the last tabletop session I had in ICRPG where the gang casually went to a public execution, conducted an impromptu prison break, ended up saving what might be a key NPC, and then I made my character look like a looser in front of her.

#RPGaDay2024 August 15th.

This is a good opportunity to talk about loot as experience in fantasy roleplaying games. Part of #RPGaDay2024.

An RPG with great character gear: Index Card RPG. This is a great opportunity to talk about gear as experience in fantasy TTRPGs. I was first introduced to this concept by Index Card RPG where the character’s gear is their experience in the form of improvements to them. The +1 To Hit and Damage sword is the same as gaining a warrior level in some other d20 system games. Casters can grow by…

Join us tomorrow, 5/6/23, for some Index Card RPG fun as we take to the starts in Last Flight of the Red Sword!

Thanks for the response. In my case, this was a group of people that were completely new to me. I wanted to see if I could get back into 5e.

I played two sessions and mostly just felt tired after each one. My character was mostly along for the ride and didn't draw much attention. I wasn't doing anything particularly zany or cool. I was just playing the game.

The GM did give me a bit more for my character specifically to work with, but by then I decided 5e wasn't for me.

That game taught me a lot though. Recently I've been trying out playing non-combat sections in my games in a turn order to ensure that everyone gets to share the spotlight. It's been working well.

Don't forget to tell the other players in your group that you like playing with them every now and then!

I've been making an ICRPG one shot during my time in the bus while going to work and I finally finished it!

It's a 2-3 hour adventure where the players try to steal a painting from the Louvre, Da Vinci's lost painting: The "Mona Arrugada".

I also made character creation incredibly simple so it can be played on the spot whenever I want.

Can't wait to get the chance to play it with friends.

Keep on the Borderlands Battle Report Session #3

Link to previous post

Keep on the borderlands continues! We've now played for three sessions of Old School Essentials & Keep on the Borderlands, and I reckon I'll run at least 3 more before considering changing up the rules to a new system. (ICRPG is very appealing right now).

Good session all up, click for the details.

Today we had some new players, a Thief, an Assassin and another Elf. They rolled terrible on their hit points and it was a miracle they didn't die.

They journeyed toward the forests in the north, encountering a mad old man and his pet mountain lion. One of the NPCs was killed, as well as a player character.

I increased the rewards substantially from what was written in the module, but players are leveling up very slowly.

I think I'm beginning to get tired of the incremental XP present in older editions like B/X and AD&D. It's a big hassle to calculate how much XP the players get when it won't actually result in them levelling up. Games like Maze Rats and Deathbringer have solved this by having all XP be in single digits. ICRPG also just allows the GM to simply grant additional abilities at their whim.

These systems look really appealing, so I'm unsure if OSE will continue beyond 6 sessions.

Players weren't really prepared for the fight with the Old Man & his pet mountain lion. One player did attempt a backstab, but it didn't hit. The assassin didn't get a chance to assassinate either. (not sure if that works as a ranged attack).

The second combat encounter, the players fought a werewolf, I was convinced they would all die, but I got them to team up with a werewolf hunter, prep some ammunition, and they seemed to go along with the Werewolf hunter's plan to ambush the werewolf.

They did extremely well in this encounter, but it almost felt too easy, and most of the planning was done by the Werewolf hunter character which I was controlling. At least, that's how I remember it.

Players are still having fun and it seemed to fine for one of the players who had never played before.

[reapin-season]

Reapin' Season, el foro, hace uso de un sistema basado en el d20 (dado de 20 caras) inspirado en Dungeons and Dragons 5ª Edición e ICRPG para ejemplificar toda prueba de habilidad realizada por un personaje.

En vez de explicarlo detalladamente, invitamos a hacer las preguntas que se consideren necesarias sobre él (dado que, francamente, es mucho, demasiado, excesivo texto).

Podemos adelantar, y resumiendo muy crudamente, que se mantendrá el uso del dado de 20 caras (como ya hemos dicho anteriormente), la lista de Atributos y Habilidades (adaptada a la ambientación y foro) y el concepto de las Competencias. Sin embargo, no tendremos clases, sino un sistema de 10 Rangos donde los personajes obtendrán diversos beneficios, incluyendo Poderes (tenemos 40), conforme progresen.

Además, hay un listado de 169 objetos creados y disponibles en la Tienda. Los cuales incluyen Armas, Armaduras, Mejoras, Cachivaches y Aumentos Cibernéticos (inspirados en Cyberpunk 2077). Todos únicos y funcionando con sus propias mecánicas.

I just wanna gush about this character I made

My friends and I recently decided to give D&D a break and try out a new TTRPG system called Index Card RPG which comes with a sci-fi setting called WARP SHELL and it's super fun. One of the races you can choose (called a bioform) is a mecha, and one of my friends and I wanted to be one. We decided that another friend's mechanic character made us in a series. His character is named Null, the other mecha is named 01, my character is named 03, and there's a third lost mecha named 02. Both 01 and 03's memory of 02 have been wiped, and I have yet to learn anything about her

01 is a large tank-like robot with treads and a ripsaw and a taser. He's a scientist who specializes in xenobiology. (Unfortunately no picture available, but imagine something similar to Bastion from Overwatch with a big "01" painted on the side in block letters)

03 is a much thinner build with agile helicopter blade legs. He's designed for protection and specializes in machine guns. He has a massive particle cannon that unfolds from his torso and telescopes outward, resting over his shoulder in the form of a gatling gun. (Reference below for the type of robot he's shaped like, imagine something like that with a big "03" painted on the chest in block letters)

So there's this sort of subversion of expectations for 01 and 03's designs, with the big one being the brains and the littler one being the firepower. Null is a bit of an outcast, but always wanted friends so he created 01, 02, and 03 as a series of mecha to keep him company. And better yet, Null has a class ability called "jerry rigger" that allows him to combine any two machines to perform a hybrid function, so we decided we could use that to voltron 01 and 03 together.

I've written 03's personality to speak kind of pedantically and have very dry humor, inspired somewhat by Omega from Sonic. It's been very fun to roleplay and the deadpan deliveries and brotherly banter between 03 and 01 is fantastic.

It all just feels so epic, and I'm loving the freedom and simplicity of ICRPG. Plus a sci-fi setting after so much standard fantasy is pretty refreshing. I'm having lots of fun with it.

Last week I started planning an ICRPG one shot on my rides in the bus and I'm more than halfway done???

Like I just need 4 secrets, 2 room descriptions and 7 items for a loot table and its done. Wow.
