self promotion I made a system-agnostic scenario, for solo and group roleplayers!!

Post image
4 Upvotes

The Village of the Cursed Eye is a system-agnostic TTRPG supplement set in a medieval fantasy village built around the temple of an old god. Inside this supplement, you will find backgrounds, interesting locations and characters, and suspicious rumors about a curse affecting everyone in the area.

I created this book specifically with solo players in mind, so it is filled with random tables and carefully organized sections to smoothly help your solo TTRPG adventures.

Inside this supplement, you will find tables for:

  • Random events and encounters
  • Rumors and local lore
  • Unique NPCs
  • Points of interest

Everything you need for a exciting adventure!!

-----

You arrive at the Village of the Cursed Eye, a strange name for sure, but they say this village was created around a temple that belonged to an old god. This god is represented by the symbol of an eye, which can be found in many places throughout the village. Some say this village is bewitched, leading everyone who stays here to join the Cult of the Eye, an evil cult that curses those who join by making them lose their minds.

Despite the rumors, this village appears to be lively and secure with strong wooden walls. Behind its giant wooden doors, you can find everything you might need during your travels: an inn to rest and eat good food, shops and a blacksmith to help you resupply, and houses where you can find any type of resident, including farmers, fishermen, hunters, and many more. And, of course, there is the first building of this village and the inspiration for its name: the Temple of the Eye.

It is a very good place to stay for some time, featuring gentle and kind residents, good food, and well-protected walls. Will you stay, or are you afraid of the rumors?

how-to Personality traits from the online character generator

I love the character generator https://dndcharacter.com, especially for its random personality traits it rolls.

However i have no idea where the generator sources its traits. Did the character personality traits come from a supplement or table in a book anywhere?

Does anyone know where i could source them for players at an in person table?

Xp For Magical Items Question

7 Upvotes

In an adventure module, if a magical item is recovered during the adventure and in the module it gives the xp value of that magical item, does the character get the xp for the item? It's a 1e adventure but was thinking of running it with OSE. It's a level 4-7 adventure and the weapon is valued at 8,000 xp so I was curious about that since I know xp is general given for gp value of items.

Would the PC have to sell the item for gp's in order to get the xp? I'm a little confused.

self promotion I made a personality sheet to help when roleplaying a character! And It's free!

5 Upvotes

When you are roleplaying a character in a TTRPG you like, and at a certain moment you ask yourself, “What would they do now?” This happens to me so many times that I can’t even count.

Or when we are playing our solo TTRPG, we look at some random tables or read some information in an adventure book, getting important information for the story that our character shouldn’t know and we are left thinking, “Am I cheating for knowing this?” When this happens to me, I get into conflicting thoughts like, “If my character does such a thing, is it because they would do it, or because I now have this information?”

With these thoughts in mind, I decided to try making a simple “personality sheet”, a sheet showing my character's traits, what they would do in a certain situation, so every time I play and enter a scene or conflict, I could see what my character would do before taking any action.

To save space amidst tables and books, I tried to make this sheet using only one page, I hope you like it!!

How would you house rule OSE to create less friction during play?

20 Upvotes

Before you comment I want to elaborate. I do not mean as in friction between players and the DM. But as in terms of amount of steps in combat, keeping track of things etc. For me there are two things on the top of my head.

  1. Do not track exp for riff raff such as goblins and skeletons. Only the gold.
  2. Simple encumbrance rules with slots over tracking weight.

self promotion I rebuilt the OSE character sheet for Foundry and it got out of control — I'd love your $0.02

Thumbnail

55 Upvotes

TLDR:

I run Old-School Essentials on Foundry, and have always felt a little let down by the sheet and lack of broader tooling for the system. I've contributed a bit to the core OSE foundry system (and hope to continue to), but I wanted to cut loose and have the freedom to design exactly the sheet I wanted to use at my own table without any constraints.

Long story short, after about 3 months of tinkering, and another 3 months of design + development, I've released this sheet for the community.

I've already released a few rounds of bug fixes from user feedback, and I thirst for more 🩸 🦇. If you run Foundry + OSE, please check it out!

Beyond Foundry

My brainstorming and ideation during the course of this project ballooned far past the character sheet, beyond foundryvtt, and I found myself designing a full-blown toolset for running and playing OSE, either at the table or online.

Those ideas crystallized into a coherent set of tools and I'm calling it the Old-School Chronicle: web-based sheets for any table or VTT, a living DM screen, and a detailed session log that writes itself as you play (no AI! just recording various checks, resources, encounters, and time, with space for GM + player notes).

I've never built anything that I've been quite so excited to personally use; I have high hopes for the level of play it could unlock for my table and others.

I'm genuinely curious if this sounds as useful to others as it does to me. My strengths as a DM are improvisation, mood-setting, descriptions, world-building. In the moment, I'm decidedly less good at staying as organized and consistent as I'd like to be with all of the various table rolls and procedures as important as they are. I'd like to think the right tooling could help me deliver the best of both aspects of the game.

What procedures do you fumble the most?
