Really struggling to understand how to make a character in this game, can someone give me a step by step please?

God I just absolutely adore classic fantasy The artwork The music The sheer epicness you can find in such small scale adventures Im just so tired of Tumblr Fantasy.

Lost Boys was nonsense. No, just because someone invites you onto their house doesn't mean you're immune to garlic and holy water, it just lets you in! Do your research, vampires!

This is the first rpg where Im struggling to find any tutorials on how to play.

Here in Brazil we have Old Dragon, a national osr

How can you watch this? I can watch the original Japanese one but the CZcams automatic subtitles are kind of bad.

I think this is fantastic! This definitely inspires me to get to work! I love the hackability of OSR games for other worlds or styles of play. I've seen Knave used as the rules for a smuggler's campaign in the Outer Rim during the Empire Strikes Back era. @Solospelunking does some very cool stuff with his solo games.

I'm really liking OSE since I joined a group that plays it, but I found call of cthulu a simple enough system that I would totally play a d100 under system, I think it does allow for a better spread then the d20

Easily #1

Elmore...

Otus for me, but the best art is pre-1990s.

That commercial in the intro is awesome! Love it

My favorite is Bill Willingham. With probably Elmore as #2 and Otus as #3. Just always loved Willingham's style. And Yes, many, many greats - Trampier, Otus, Parkingson, Caldwell, Easley, Ellmore, Brom, Lockwood, Reynolds, etc...

Errol Otis for me

I started playing in 1974. My "N" includes JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Robert E Howard's Conan series; Moorcock's Elric series; Lieber's Fafhard and the Grey Mouser books, Evangeline Walton's books; Patricia McKillip's books, LeGuin's Earthsea (then) Trilogy, The Wizard of Oz, Edgar Rice Burroughs Mars Series (and other of his books); Journey to the Center of the Earth; Dracula; Frankenstein; The Mummy (Boris Karloff version), The Wolfman, and too many others to mention.

Not enough people remember Spectreman!

It amazes me how people stopped getting together because of Covid. They didn’t happen where I live. It was just considered a publicity stunt except among the very old. Who took very limited precautions

Doomed wizard is my favorite CZcams channel!

Pleeaase make "Under a Gibbous Moon" osr horror rpg!!!!

Nice video, old timer! I grew up on minecraft roleplay, moved to 5e, and now I'm playing OSR. Vids like yours are awesome. Thank you for getting my ball rolling

I have found that simple systems are the easiest for new players, but sometimes are harder for many players who are experienced with a more crunchy style, as they often have to unlearn relying on the rules to tell them what they can do.

I like to learn through playing, sitting down and reading rules tomes is a big turn off! My current group plays OSE and even after a year and a half I couldn't answer any rules questions if you asked! I just say what I wanna do and let the DM work out the mechanics!

I would love to hear some actual-plays of Strangeville!

You are not the only one :) This is exactly how I learned and how I run my games !!!

I like to play to learn. But the work game we just started includes a woman who has never played, hardly in touch with fantasy as a genre at all, and she demanded the book, read it from front to back, chose a wizard, and is dominating as the group's leader. Takes all kinds! I'll watch an actual play!

Regarding my favorite way of learning a game, solo play and oracles all the way. It lets me get familiar with the rules, experiment with the mechanics, and even have some characters, locations and worldbuilding concepts in the toy box to use for a future group. There's nothing like a coherent world put together through a patchwork of gradually collected ideas.

To me, the simpler the system, the easier it is to explain to a completely new player. What's weird is that when trying to explain to a 5e player how to, for instance, roll up a character in White Box, the simplest version of D&D I know of, there's a lot of confusion for some reason. With the system having so few moving parts, what should take roughly 10-15 minutes for a new player somehow takes almost an hour for a 5e player to understand. Have you had this experience, and if so, why do you think this is?

Kids and noobs do so well with avoiding combat, solving puzzles and having creative solutions.

Great review of a great game. My group are big Free League fans. They are masters of rules light, role play heavy systems. The Alien rpg does use a slightly different dice mechanic it's a d6 dice pool and I myself prefer Blade Runners stepped die mechanic. A word of warning to new players/5e players. Combat can be lethal the critical hit system in this (also in Alien) can easily result in a player going from full health to dead in one unlucky hit.

For those of us without MTV.

I never missed Friday Night Videos back in the day!

I love Doctor Who. I am glad I can still find the classics. I showed some classic episodes to my youngest brother. I intend on watching more classics with him. Rn he is big on OG star trek

Great video and advise! I needed to hear, "Strip it all down to the essentials." I also need to apply Chekhov's gun more to my games. Subscribed!

Still the greatest

Ok plot hole, what if anyone else rides the same ride? Are they transported as well?

I remember this one from Captain Cosmic. I was a junkie for everything he put on the air.

Sadly most of my family was immune to the seductive influence of this ad. I was already hooked before this hit the airwaves though.

Let's see this Spider-Man turn up in the next Sony film!

And now bards seduce anything that moves

Ans

this is literally the best ad I've seen in my life

"Roll for charisma"

this is awesome

I didn't ask how big the room is; i said i cast fireball!

The true fantasy in that commercial is Jami Gertz playing D&D.

Loved that bat-sh☆t crazy show! The goopy henchmen creeped me out as a kid though.

Use your lightning bolt!

i thought it was hedorah 💀

Watched this in '77 on a B&W tv, never knew the beginning paint swirl was blue and yellow. Also, never knew it formed words because I couldn't read!

looks like he fought a legally distinct non-ip kaiju every week. I recognized Gilzodda, Kong King, Germora, the Smeg Monster, and more!
