[LotFP] Guards and laws of Nurmberg
City of Nurmberg is human city and all demi-humans are despised (*2 hindrance to reaction rolls for demi-humans*). Guards keep town in order but northwest are they leave alone. It is the worst part of the town and guards don't have any interest in it as long as the trouble and the rabble stay there. Sometimes guards go there in their free time to drink without consequences and use cheap harlots as they please. Otherwise well behaving guards might be real troublemaker where law is not supervised. Guards are no chatters. They leave people alone as long as they behave. *Minor* violatio... more »
Overview of my first LotFP session
I was Referee with one player. Player's character is Elf called Evyn. Pre-game: Her character was wet and cold and got to city of Nurmberg (pseudo-fantasy Europe, Germany). Guard pointed her to a tavern but was really unpleasant and overlooked her (because she's Elf). The tavern is is located in a really bad neighborhood but tavern itself was really nice and owner is also an Elf. There were no other customers even though the prices are cheaper (no one likes Elf in this town and as far as tavern owner knows he's the only one living here). Game: Character eats and gets to his room. Mo... more »
Simple attack fumbe table for traditional games
Can an attack be fumbled (for example natural 1). If it can sometimes it is up to GM to decide what happens. This simple little tool helps it. Roll d6 to see what fumble does: 1-2 - attack is missed and balance is lost. Loose next turn. 3 - attack is missed and character staggered. Loose next turn and AC like hit from behind (or similar). 4 - attacker looses grip and drops his weapon. 5 - attacker manages to wound himself. Roll damage and divide it by two. Round up. 6 - attacker manages to wound himself as above and looses balance like in 1-2 roll. I will use this in my LotFP game. (*... more »
My first LotFP combat was quick
Quick in a positive way. Guard with leather armor around the corner. Character surprises guard and rolls 15 with Ranged bonus +3. Arrow deals 5 points of damage and guard has 4 health points. Arrow travels through guard's back and bursts his lung. 15 seconds. Another guard is coming and character hides next to corner. Surprise with rapier. Leather armor doesn't help with another 15 roll and 7 damage is enough to kill the guard as he is passing by. This took only 11 seconds because we already knew how it works. This I call adventuring. It doesn't take five minutes to consider all th... more »
20 quick questions for LotFP I started to run
So, started to run Lamentations of the Flame Princess so it is time to answer 20 questions (I have found here: http://untimately.blogspot.com/2012/02/20-quick-questions-rules.html). 1. Ability scores generation method? 3d6, can toggle two 2.How are death and dying handled? 0 hit points roll death and dismemberment table (link). Negative hitpoints give their value negative modifier to roll (more hitpoints lost, more likely wound is severe or lethal). 3. What about raising the dead? Extremely rare and legendary. 4. How are replacement PCs handled? Same level, ½ xp. Quick intro how ... more »
Instaregion from Zak's blog - my version
http://dndwithpornstars.blogspot.com/2012/02/instaregion.html I love this! I have to create my own version of this for my own use. Basically drop dice and see where they land and that's there. Except I will determine what features are in a certain hex. For example if I drop dice for graveyard and an inn I'll feature those in the location where character is. Basically it is random encounter table + random location generator. For example if characters are travelling from town A to evil wizard's tower B I drop dice for this random location table and that's what's between the travel. ... more »
I had to order Isle of the Unknown
I have gone crazy with Lamentations of the Flame Princess. Since I took it in my hands from my shelf where it had lied for months I couldn't put it down. I have known Isle of the Unknown since it was published but never actually payed any attention to it. Then for some weird reason or fate I started to read about it and was sold. I wanted it. So I ordered it today. Now I am waiting for it. I already have: Lamentations of the Flame Princess Grindhouse Edition Vornheim: the Complete City Kit Death Frost Doom Check out Isle of the Unknown description at LotFP website and visit the web... more »
Creating a character for Werewolf: the Apocalypse
I have Werewolf: the Apocalypse 2nd Edition and never have created a character for it. Actually I haven't played it either. It's only few years I've owned it. Forsaken I played but decided to buy Apocalypse as old World of Darkness suits my taste better. Anyways. This will be both easy and challenging. Easy because it uses same basic mechanics of Vampire: the Masquerade I have used a lot but challenging because I am not familiar with all the differences like *Renown, Rage, Gnosis* and Tribes, Gifts and so on. So I have to do a little bit reading to make decisions on what I want. But... more »
[LotFP] Example monster: Vampire
I just want to say this. I love Vampire: the Masquerade and last 10 years it is the game I've played the most. So example monster of vampire in Referee's book I advanced with caution. D&D vampires are kinda lame in my opinion, but LotFP vampire was kick ass! Well written, great gaming mechanics and powers and fluff writing was just awesome. I like what mr. James did there. And basically there's an option to make player character vampire also... That could be one adventure seed. Character is turned into a vampire and he wants a cure! Some old tales tell that killing the master vampi... more »
[LotFP] My world of weird fanasy
I will use pseudo-history for my LotFP game. It takes some parts of real history but I will mix dates as I feel fit. So I wont be historically accurate but create my own fantasy world based in Europe. Setting year would be 1600 something but I will take inspiration also from earlier times. Generally Europe is human populated. Elven are from northern Europe and focused in Finland (Kalevala). Elven have lost their ancient glory though. Dwarven are located to Russia and focused in mountains of Ural. Far East is human populated and Asia is generally unknown for average people (take Marc... more »
Maps for LotFP
I was thinking I will set my LotFP game in pseudo-fantasy-Europe. It will be like Europe in 1100-1600 depending on the area. I won't be historically accurate but can use historical information to flesh it up. I will also use Vornheim City Kit and possible city of Vornheim and from the beginning of getting Lamentations Of The Flame Princess Grindhouse edition I was thinking that maybe I could include my Ravenloft (S&S edition) campaign setting for it. So I think I'll use LotFP + Vornheim + Old Europe + Ravenloft combo. But here are a couple of maps I will propably use: Old Europe map... more »
