The ToAD is a great resource, but more for developing encounters and adventures than planning a broader campaign - which is where Downtime and Demesnes comes in.Melanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07165894144553629675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188119851730922397.post-21958854087429862972020-03-16T00:12:56.731+01:002020-03-16T00:12:56.731+01:00Also, the "D30 Companion" books are pret...Also, the "D30 Companion" books are pretty solid.Shahar Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634595916850412548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188119851730922397.post-56250387533938197212020-03-16T00:11:14.624+01:002020-03-16T00:11:14.624+01:00You should check out "Tome of Adventure Desig...You should check out "Tome of Adventure Design"Shahar Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634595916850412548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188119851730922397.post-83492843785124425872020-03-13T11:50:59.884+01:002020-03-13T11:50:59.884+01:00I'm especially interested in whether anyone ha...I'm especially interested in whether anyone has created procedures for working with story hook, story lines, NPCs etc... but I'm probably entering story-game territory here.Jiří "Markus" Petrůhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888038430387964093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188119851730922397.post-70625611003612852402020-03-13T10:14:40.860+01:002020-03-13T10:14:40.860+01:00Thanks for the tip for a product.

Dungeon procedures are well-described but any procedures for running a sandbox campaign seem lacking.<br /><br />Can anyone recommend other products to look for? Maybe some non-hack OSR systems that actually bring something new to the table in this regard?<br /><br />I can browse blogs and piece something together but I was wondering if anyone has actually took the time and effort to "design" this properly.Jiří "Markus" Petrůhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888038430387964093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188119851730922397.post-53586045493028095472020-03-12T22:07:10.922+01:002020-03-12T22:07:10.922+01:00Another well-written review about an OSR-B/X produ...Another well-written review about an OSR-B/X product. I find myself checking this blog regularly, putting it on a short list.<br /><br />Sounds like a solid buy for a tool kit. <br /><br />Oh, I think you meant "one IN the chamber" and "five IN the chambers." As in, bullets in a revolver cylinder's (usually 6) chambers.Stripehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956310256102950543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188119851730922397.post-67367993900910868052020-03-12T09:18:10.160+01:002020-03-12T09:18:10.160+01:00We started using Downtime and Demesnes two session...We started using Downtime and Demesnes two sessions ago in my OSE campaign. My players liked the carousing and arena rules, but the professional income rules were basically non-existent and I had to improvise it on the fly. There is also a lot of rehashed stuff, but I'm not bad about that, because they are often expanded, and it's nice to have them in a single book.<br /><br />I agree about the random NPCs. The chart is full of dickheads of the worst kind, and it's also repetitive. I won't use the charts for what they were intended to do, but I will likely pick them for ideas I can drop in my Zweihänder campaign.Tamás Illéshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415717108941674663noreply@blogger.com
