The Gaming Den

Not only this forum is hardly the target demo for this product, I must ask: What does this product offer that neiher of Dungeon World or 5E do? Because those two are the current standard for viking hats (the target demo for this book). Furthermore, did you re-write the whole Monster Manual or other...

i also like exploits. seems like a interesting idea. maybe a few example target numbers for the more common moves would improve the rule, so gms have something to base heir rulings on and players know what to expect. i have to agree that "rules as guidelines" as a core principle won't be ...

Can I ask the thought process behind letting players use each other's arrays, but then penalizing them for it? I'm also curious about your changes to attribute bonuses, abbreviating Perception "Perc", putting "Unique Feature" with its two paragraphs of explanation in each class ...

Sounds like an incentive to stretch the fight with the last mook out for three minutes while you wait for your buddy to get ba...

Looking at the monster section of the PDF; which is probably the best way to truly gauge how close to "low magic" any rpg approaches; a reader would be confused that this isn't low fantasy, or low magic at all. Just looking at the monster section makes it obvious this is a D&D clone, ...

Hi all, I'm new here, didnt know this forum existed in fact until just now. Thought I would take the opportunity to introduce the Low Fantasy Gaming RPG (full disclosure: I wrote it!). It's a free PDF book - https://lowfantasygaming.com/ Or $6 USD via Lulu - http://www.lulu.com/shop/http://www.lulu....
