Ri...I'll have something ready when I get there. Right now I got to test the game two times. Both times the players didn't want any dice from me, both times bad rolls and bad decisions lead to a tpk ... But I gotta say: it works. Had a few kinks but I think I got them solved :-)Jens D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18394303166081684904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617677799085549365.post-34981124181593016052015-09-17T16:26:57.921+02:002015-09-17T16:26:57.921+02:00A test adventure is a great idea !A test adventure is a great idea !Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793781986788315513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617677799085549365.post-14792791647784285482015-09-08T18:03:31.896+02:002015-09-08T18:03:31.896+02:00Thanks, Mark!

Only thing that remains right now is how statics exactly work and what advancement will look like. I really hope to get those two done till the end of the week. After that it's only tables and DM tools. I think I should provide a little test adventure with the whole gig to get comparable results with the test games (yours and mine, for now).<br /><br />@ Tim: If you are up to it, I'll send you a beta version, too. No obligations to test it or anything, but you seem interested, so I'd be glad to give it to you in a more concrete form ...Jens D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18394303166081684904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617677799085549365.post-64031931036261413532015-09-08T17:44:03.012+02:002015-09-08T17:44:03.012+02:00I Like it!

Now that I'm coming around to understanding it a bit better and I am looking forward to trying it.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793781986788315513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617677799085549365.post-34240695041169092762015-09-07T07:43:59.958+02:002015-09-07T07:43:59.958+02:00I'm not saying those are final, but here are m...I'm not saying those are final, but here are my thoughts on it: I like Grinders more than Bastards, wouldn't use it as the game's title, though,which means BASTARD! will remain solely for what it describes: my D&D bastard :-) I'm also not quite sure how fast Bastard jokes would get stale at the table, so there's that.<br /><br />"Dodge" is a bit of an odd bird, I agree. I'm experimenting, of course, and I'm in a strange position here, where what you say certainly rings true but the word nonetheless exactly describes what it should, as it actually had been used that way in the mid 19th century (which is incidentally part of the atmosphere I want to invoke), And it's slang, you gotta love slang.<br /><br />But an explanation isn't the solution (unless I directly quote the etymological source in the book and even that is tricky), so this is not necessarily the final solution. I like it in a strange way. But English is not a mother tongue and I can only guess how it sounds to a native speaker ...<br /><br />Any thoughts you care to share about the rest?Jens D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18394303166081684904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617677799085549365.post-5679426416051283332015-09-06T18:18:06.113+02:002015-09-06T18:18:06.113+02:00I like 'grinders', but why don't you j...I like 'grinders', but why don't you just call all PCs 'bastards'? I don't like 'dodge' because it sounds like a skill, not a profession.Darnizhaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067874224412746414noreply@blogger.com
