I just read your report. The Explosive Six Rule is great. In my latest adventure it allowed my weakest character in combat, Olgorim the wizard, to kill three hobgoblins with his short sword!
ReplyDeleteHowever the way I read the rules you get to do an XP roll after 10 encounters with different groups of minions, not after you've killed 10 individual minions.
ReplyDeleteYes, I did that wrong, the author also commented on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed that the list of monster reactions given on page 22 includes some reactions that are not in any of the monster descriptions, such as monsters offering you food and rest or being peaceful. Perhaps the author will include these reactions in his updated pdf. They sound more like the variable monster reactions that you can get in a game such as Labyrinth Lord or Scarlet Heroes. It would make the game more interesting if a medusa, for example, offered your party food and rest!
ReplyDeleteDaniel Clark, I just wanted to have as many reaction types as possible in the core book, the other reactions will certainly be used by monsters that we will add in scenarios, supplements, or in the monster cards we are planning to do.
ReplyDeleteI am working on a Deeper Dungeons supplement that will add lots of stuff for those who want to expand their characters and face higher challenges. If you want to playtest it, please drop me a mail at andreasfiligoi@gmail.com. I need people who are willing to put in at least 3-4 full games, starting from the upper level (1st level characters) and then delving deeper.
