There is no way that you are just generalizing combat as a Strength is key and is the only combat Stat. My brother in Vecna Strength is only 1 of 5 stats that handle the To Hit and Damage rolls in combat. The only stat that doesn't have a To Hit/Damage mechanic is Constitution, which is always in the combat equation, as the representative of your characters health.

I appreciate the video, but you’re kind of spoiling the book.

First comment! Good stuff and story tho

One of the Adventurers League adventures many years ago had a demigod remorhaz. I’d pre-decided that if it detected anyone entering its lair it would hide on the ceiling alien-style to ambush. The players sent one PC all the way down the long tunnel-who was promptly swallowed whole. For everyone else it added an immediate time crunch to retrieve them in time to revivify.

Shut up bitch

Curse of Strahd is such an iconic adventure-definitely one of D&D's best for thrilling storytelling!

I think modern systems completely misinterpret attack rolls and armor. Attack rolls express an opportunity to materially wound the other guy. Fighting isn’t hitting a dummy as fast as you can. Armor disrupts those opportunities. You either need to hit harder (more directly, etc.) or you need to hit where the armor won’t help or help as much. All of this is massively complicated by the armor type and structure and the weapon; but the basic system is very effective for narrative and gameplay purposes. Games like white wolf are based on playing out the entire battle. Hence why you constantly call out “dodge!” Or “parry!”. In white wolf armor does have a “soak” rating, which amplifies your personal “soak”. Because you’re always a supernatural creature in white wolf. It’s also a relatively low combat system.

Really wish there was a middle ground of sorts. Me and my players love the horror and the stakes of CoC, but losing a character to a poor dice roll and having to insert a replacement in the table is always a bit of a complication, especially when it happens too often. On the other hand, Pulp is just too over the top, I like them being more capable of fighting but c'mon, when the players can take down even some of the most horrendous monsters in the system it kinda makes them a bit less special.

Sure, this movie was woke… at least it’s 10 times better than the 2000 trash movie

I've used death house. Actually, 3d printed the house. I haven't run the many campaign though.

Daggers are overprized and USELESS! A Dart is cheaper. If you use it in meele, it also does 1D4 Danage. For 1 Dagger, you can get 40 Darts

Attempted many incursions into Ravenloft back in the early 90’s.

As a DM and a player I just find anything below 3rd level boring

r

Shadowdark is that exact system

Gaslands!!! Wooo

Nice work! I wanted to go but couldn't make it work out. This gave me a good impression of the fest.

Great discussion.

Yippie favorite video

I know this isn't Louis CK, but it looks like Louis CK.

I had the same issue myself (as well as personal experience fighting in medieval armour), so I went for basically all 3 methods to have the mechanics to reflect how different groups in the game setting make their armour. - Every time you suffer damage, reduce it by X - Ignore the first X hits - Second HP bar that chips away I have used the first for reliable armour, the second for cheap or makeshift armour and the third to give my players the walking tank/"I am more metal than sense" feeling of "I can walk to an orc warchief, get slapped in the face with a berdiche and actually be able to punch back, now?!".

I always find it amusing when players know they're going to be in a horror game, and as a GM you want to make them uneasy and the game scary, and then I see a session zero where the GM asks "are you Ok with spiders, demonic possession and body horror" <for my horror session full of spiders, demons and blood>.... kinda ruins the fun?

Is this an Tabletop RPG or video game?

aint nothin better then cough drops for breakfast!

Cool! Was it good?

Count chocolate

Nyarlahotep bless you Justin!

What are the tips? Is there a longer video?

I'm so excited for the game man, these sound great and i'll LOVE that module :) great video man - keep 'em coming!

Keep it up, the views might come later.

we are just specs of dust when it comes to the universe

Both of these are very good! I also always like to advise to run Bookchase, from the starter set.

i love free stuff

Interesting :)

I don' t get to play CoC unless you're the keeper but I might need to grab these, never know

this video is fantastic! it really gets into the nuance of hth combat with a good degree of fidelity

Bro is hedgehogmaxxing, trying to attract that shy Rose 🌹 with them pink and blonde spikes? 😅

Great explanations.

Interesting

Problem, armor is not exclusively passive. If someone is wearing platemail for example, they can move to intentionally take a hit on the armor but in such a way that the strike is deflected without damaging the wearer. Does that count as being hit?

that explains it a lot better than other vids I've seen, they mostly focus on the mechanics, this should be a good series man
