BttDRPG The One Document

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzYaSvmA-OpUM2gweGRaMHNEM0k

SO here is an UPDATED version of the documents all in one document. Really choppy but there are some improvements.

I decided I am not going to have any sacred cows. After all cows are to be sacrificed to Chthulu when you run out of virgins.

I went back to the "Basic" Attribute/Bonus Scheme.

ALL classes will fight at + 1/2 level To Hit though Fighting types get an additional +1, Average combatants get a +0, and no fighting types get -1 starting off at 1st level plus Str or Dex.

I also decided to use a Vanican spell point variant. Has translated very nicely. Casters just starting in magic will only run out of spells after a few battles not after one spell. I may have to weaken the sleep spell.

Hmmm could a victim be sacrificed and their Con score (or a default of 10 +1/2HD if the creature only has HD)to get free Spell Points?

Should I call Spell Points Mana?

A mage for instance has Spell Points equal to his Intelligence. Each level they gain 1d6 spell points. Spells cost equal to level and 0 level spells cost 1/2.

I added in a few more playable races though not finished. May add in Orcs, Goblins, etc. I like lots or race options as long as it's simple!

I may increase starting hit points.

Possibly HD + HD roll + Con? or Con + HD? What do you think?

Read over it and critique as I think am going to add some more features to the classes.

I am working on a Warlock and Psion very soon to add.

Any suggestions for classes?

So has anyone playtested this sucker yet? If not please do so. I am not tooting my own horn but this is a pretty good set of houserules.

When you roll a 20 as a fighter DAMN the monsters tend to DIE!

Now with Casters being simplified and streamlined it should be really fun to play one.

This game comes from over 32 years of gaming experience from me and no telling how much from the people that assisted me.

The point is to be able to get players from both styles to gather together and shut the fuck up and play. Have a good time!

For the Game Master it's a pleasure to run something that does not require rules just rulings.

I got a damn vision here of what gaming is and from it I shall not wane!

HORROR WORLD RPG V.05

Happy Halloween! I have a little horror survival game I rewrote from a few years ago in a simpler form. As in all my games IT'S IN A ROUGH DRAFT FORM!

Inspired by Kreg Moiser's The Dead, S.P. Wipfli's DEAD MEAT, AFMBE, The Deadworld Comics, All the Romero and Russo movies, and any other Zombie Movies that I have seen. Oh and let us not forget AMC's The Walking Dead.

Original Horror World conceived back somewhere in the early 90's and long gone.

Completely easy to make a Player Victim. In fact if you are going to play make a few Victims because players die. Heroes that try and shoot every undead they see will find themselves eaten by the dead when they run out of bullets.

I have always found problems with many of the survival games out there namely complexity and long character creation then you play and die fast.

A decent gamer will live a very long time if he is tactical in this game. Keep the crowds of the dead far away from you and you will live a long time. Get caught in a crowd then bye bye!

Worst monsters of all are other people. Mankind when set free from all rules become the real monsters.

It is a really scary game if ran right.


Since the LINK feature has NEVER worked on this site here it is.

BttDRPG Less Classes?

Been tinkering with the idea of less classes.

Warrior - Any and all fighting types that depend on Strength and Constitution.

Wanderer - The more skilled fighting types that depend on Dexterity and Wisdom. Possibly dabbles in Magic.

Weaver - The practitioners of Magic and Lore. They use their Intelligence and Wisdom more often as they are masters of magic.

Wasteral - You more stealthy and /or unsavory type that uses Dexterity and Charisma to get by in life. May dabble in some magic.

These could conceivably be every and all the classes I need.

Castle Falkenstein: A Review.

Back in the 90s I was playing the best Cyberpunk RPG ever made called Cyberpunk 2020 by R. Talasorian Games. Hands down the simple rules, the story, the high tech low scum style over substance.

Then this company came out with Castle Falkenstein.


Steampunk?

What the hell is that?

I right away noticed the first section of the game book was a lavishly illustrated and painted book split into interesting topics on a fantasy Steampunk version of Europe.

I mean the story alone was worth the price of the book. Then I got to the actual rules themselves. Almost freeform, played with cards, an incredible magic system, faeries, steampunk devices, infernal machine!

All of it was set up so very simple and easy to use. You wrote your characters instead of rolling by choose a few things you were good at and then you started playing.

Then the supplements that came out were some of the most incredible and useful supplements! Books of Magic Orders, Fairies, Society, Steampunk North America!, Leonardo da Vinci's Lost Notebook!

I got everything they made for the game and no it's not for sale ever.

If you can still find it buy it.

Never has there been such an incredible RPG that truly capture the genre of Steampunk. Very easy to run and play. Almost freeform.

There is a new/old website that you may still be able to order it.

UPDATE! This link is good and has a few PDFs links to see what some of the game looks like. YOU WON'T BE SORRY!

DnD Next Progress as I see it, 4th Edition Memories, I lament my game.

DnD Next Progress as I see it, 4th Edition Memories, I lament my game.

DnD Next Progress
The "BASE" System is good and will over shadow the "other addition editions" and will hilariously show how the old school gaming style is superior as it gives the players ALL the options and less restrictions.

The game will also show how the new school options are superior to the old school restrictions.

Only complete dumbass sticks in the mud will e unhappy. That is until they play.

DnD is back and it has evolved for everyone.

Many players and DMs that have been playing that way for years anyway will go NO DUH!

IMHO DnDNext may/will be the best version of DnD ever made. Their problem is they have burned all their customers one way or another BUT DnD next will be a slow cure.

Something unheard of may happen.

Old and New school players and DMs will sit at the same table STFU and just go back to playing and having a good time.

Gaming may actually become fun again and that will mean more gaming for everyone!

4th Edition Memories
Sadly 4th Edition ended in my life when I decided I could not stand it anymore. The game had just gotten too repetitive and some of the players were story gamers and not rules gamers and they were NOT having a good time AND the rest of the group would only play 4th NOTHING ELSE.

There were serious design flaws. Way too much monster HPs or way too little damage from the players. I think if someone would amp up the damage and shit would die in 4th I might just go back and play it.

You have to put yourself in the game designers seat for a second. They did not make 4th Edition to hurt you okay.

They thought they were doing the right thing.

They are games just like you. They were hard headed and ignored ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS from their playtesters but they were most likely one of us.

I was talking to some people online and they basically were saying IF they met the 4th edition designers thy would kick their ass. Really is it that serious for them? I live eat breath RPGs (and sadly don't get to play much) and I don't get that stupid about it.

For me 4th Edition has lots of good and fun memories AND it has a few sucky memories. SO the question is IF you could have "repaired" 4th Edition what would you have changed?

I lament my game.

Well all the work and deletion all these years has brought me to this point. My game originally called CFRPG but now called BttDRPG has fell flat on it's face. Very few if any responses.

Throughout the years my coolness is slipping. I am getting old and outdated.

I basically came out with what DnD Next is going to be way ahead of the curve but my presentation obviously sucked.

Very few to nobody is biting, caring, giving a shit, loving it, or hating it.

Ah realization! I have made a Fantasy Heartbreaker! Now I truly know what that term means.

I lament my game. But at least I have only spent time on it and not money.

The elves sing songs but I do not have the heart to say what they are singing.

Screw you Battle-net, Blizzard, and World of Warcraft

So I have not played my free trial of WoW lately so I go to play and see it has an update. I try twice and it's corrupted but on the third time yeah! it worked. Git the panda update!

I go to log it and notice that all my login info has disappeared with the new up date. What a stupid sucky feature.

That's just stupid. Maybe I got hacked? A big company like this it should be "no problem" to recover my information.

Fine I go to login with what I am "pretty sure" is the right password. Nope the password does not work. Fine I will recover password and it want's my user name and email address.

It does not recognize my username and password combination. Unlike almost every other password recovery these genius want you to put in your name and email. Wouldn't my email be enough?

SO I realize that my password and my user name does not work and recovery of such is now impossible so I go to the support to try and reset everything and in order to do that you must have email address and user name. What a dumbass asinine web design.

There was one way that I could put in my cell phone number. Nah I don't think so . Not going to get 500 call a day again when my number is sold.

Yeah. Not looking good.

SO I decide to just contact them directly but you can't. There seems to be NO emails, contact info, just ,more bullshit runaround.

SCREW IT! SO I deleted the free trial and everything! Screw you Battle-net, Blizzard and World of Warcraft.

You and your website builders are idiots.
