So. I slept through the NTRPG registration and did mine at 6am... What games did you fellas get? I was able to get in to James Aulds WARBAND! mashup, and Jason Sholtis' OpUN game. Also a few slots of Mythrus Tower... 0419T5 : Swords & Wizardry (2016/06/04) 0410T5 : Swords & Wizardry (2016/06/04) 0318T2T2 : Stombringer (2016/06/03) 0310T5 : Swords & Wizardry (2016/06/03) 0218T2T2 : Swords & Wizardry (2016/06/02) 0211ATT1 : Warband !

(Belated) April downtime thread. James Aulds​​ mentioned Rarog negotiations and getting our hippogriffs back from Kezmarok. Anything else we want to add? (Also should BC be prepping damage spell scrolls, comprehend languages, or something else?)

Hey fellows, I decided to share this with you because I'm curious as to what you all think, I respect your gaming chops and I most of you are.  This is my reskinning of a Very Old Red Dragon for my current game.  The party is unlikely to face it unless they are abominably suicidal while they waltz about it's desolation, but they may see it as a distant shadow and will likely meet it's 2-8HD spawn fairly regularly. Here's a link - and feel free to comment, though don't bother with grammer and such - this is a rough draft. I think the dragon gives a good idea of how I want to treat very powerful enemies as far as immunities, defense, attacks and damage.  The effort is to create an enemy that actually feels as terrifying as a 160' magma spitting bull/reptile should be. If this isn't cool for this community let me know, I'll delete. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pOrfU6BBZYbpnCUzQZse9gE5YFzyRbaBkucFzrFAcfU/edit?usp=sharing

So I've been thinking about the level progression issue raised by Robert Parker and it's feeding some thinking I've had on game system. Namely that I am starting to think that perhaps D&D just doesn't fit the campaign (it's really been creaking over the last year). So I would like to take a straw poll on conversion. Here's my short list for a new system home: 1. Runequest (Chaosium 2nd ed). Divine Magic with the Initiates, Rune Lord, Rune Priests would work reasonably well for HC divine magic. Maybe port over the Sorcery system from RQ 3rd edition for MUers and Mountebanks. Class powers could be devolved into percentages by level (10 percent per level of a skill that is relevant to your PC class).  2. Stormbringer 1e. Many of the mechanical benefits above plus it has indirect magic (like the demons would just be converted into sandestins). Simpler system, I might lean this way.  3. The Fantasy Trip. Have to think about the implementation.
