Don't take this the wrong way, but I think that's the final straw for me. The game system is just so confining. I've never felt so basic. Our PCs are so unskilled it's unrealistic for me. Thanks, but I'm going to move on.

No worries @DaChiefPI everyone has preferences. Check out the Tavern and game listings for other games to play that match what you are looking for.

I am more familiar with much more complex games but am enjoying playing Tiny D6 myself due to it's simplicity. A nice change of pace.

Oh no man I’ll miss you in the tunnels. Best of luck finding your kind of game!

It's not for everyone. Good luck finding your game!

It was good adventuring with you, DaChiefPI.

In regards to the sling question in Patrol, the "by the book" says that Ranged weapons work normally at Near (just out of reach) and Far, but suffer disadvantage at Close (in reach).

Light melee can only be used at Close.

Heavy melee can be used at Close, or at Near with disadvantage.

This is NOT saying this is how it has to work. That is not my intent. Just pointing out what the text says. GM is the final arbiter. This is from the updated version. (So Tiny Dungeons 2e 2e, I guess.)

Cheers, @daryen. I read that too about ranged/light/heavy weapons, hence my question in the Patrol thread.

Anyway, @Psybermagi is the boss around here and has clarified that anything under 100 ft is fair game unless PC is held ... which is good :)

Oh, it works for me, too! (Well, not my character, since his ranged weapon is "magic" and it works differently. But I'm always for player-friendly rulings.)

I figured the reloading requirement is enough of a hinderance to keep everyone from only going ranged. And the no point blank shooting makes sense so we go with that since I am using, but not really enforcing zones, in the game just for simplicity and frames of reference

@Psybermagi, @ForeverDED, @Mnrtoler:

As a note, I will be pretty much unavailable all Tuesday. I might sneak in a look in the early morning to keep my mind off things, but the rest of the day I will not be able to post. I'll be available again on Wednesday. So, please don't hold things up for me tomorrow. Feel free to have anyone roll for my force-bolts if needed! (Or lay on the charm. I get Advantage when trying to talk to people, like with the derro.)

I'm halfway through an enforced roadtrip and am going to be a bit harried a couple of more days. I'll post something in the Patrol thread today but, beyond that, free to move things along for Arry as needed. Should be back by Thursday.

Hopefully you either A dont know some of the others on the trip and can pass the time getting to know each other / swap stories or B enjoy the company of the others on the trip or C have a good audiobook. Have fun.

Crazy day, post will come tomorrow

Real life is real life. :-D

No worries. :)

I will be on vacation next week so no posts Monday through Wednesday

Got it. Enjoy!

Enjoy your holiday

I'm so glad I found PbP. Thanks Psybermagi and community for taking me in. I recently started my own PbP with some friends using the Troika! system and its going pretty well.

Glad to hear it is working for you Marmy49. My life and gaming group makes playing IRL more than a coulple nights a month hard but play by post is much more flexible.
