5 stone games skip to main skip to sidebar 5 stone games tuesday january 10 2023 haven t posted in along time but if anyone is wondering i took down the various d20 content in case there are any forthcoming compliance issues with the ogl it was all free stuff but it might end up violating some law or other you can still get the gurps spreadsheet as its got different permissions sorry for any trouble posted by 5stonegames at 2 11 am no comments friday may 1 2020 so what do you want to play that you haven t played my list is pretty short the fantasy trip its sort of gurps 1 2 for the uninitiated simpler but still quite familiar and with its own charms werewolf either the apocalypse or the forsaken neither of these games are as popular as they once were but i was never able to find a group playing or willing to play either of these mage pretty much as above barbarians of lemuria everywhen a simple clean system and one highly suited for swashbuckling adventure posted by 5stonegames at 5 38 pm 17 comments so what are your games when it comes to games i m a simple man i like unisytem buffy angel and all flesh must be eaten and when i can t get that gurps i m open to most games though 5e and osr d d are my d d of choice i dislike most any setting game with an overt left wing or progressive vibe or any sexual content the only mild exception being blue rose its kind of a progressive pastiche of mercedes lackey s valdemar but it pretty good nonetheless some games i ve played like fate and world of darkness just don t click for me either good games lots of interesting setting material just doesn t work posted by 5stonegames at 4 50 pm 5 comments back to blogging its been along time since i ve blogged anything but with the recent unpleasantness it seems like a great time to start up again now like most of you i m not gaming right now but i thought y all might be curious as to what gaming i have done in the recent past i tried fantasy age which was an alright system played about 6 sessions and after that the game fizzled its a good game but you know its not gurps i played three 5e campaigns none of which went past a coupe of levels did play the introductory adventure mines of phandelver even using the pre gens it was pretty good and very good d d played and ran a lot of 1 or 2 shot pick up games too many to list here the best i think was an ancient aliens inspired game somewhat resembling though pre dating the 2018 movie kin i ran this for quite a few sessions and the players really stepped up there really wasn t much in the way of rules more of interactive storytelling but it was fun for me and the two players also turned down a gurps wild west its unusual for me to turn down a gurps game but i didn t think the gm was up to it lore or system wise the guys that playted said it was alright but i probably would not have had much fun lastly i ran about 10 sessions of gurps conan with a bit of game of thrones added on the players mostly had fun though no matter how many games you run you can always learn something new generally it went well though i agree with my players i had too many ghost encounters and it needed a bit more work frankly i d love to revise the game or one like it but that s a while off if possible at all anyway take care out there and good gaming posted by 5stonegames at 4 37 pm 5 comments friday november 25 2016 still out there a short update i m not gaming right now and not working on anything gurps or osr related reason is pretty simple i m mostly interested in gming and while i m willing to play sometimes the rest of the group 3 people now wants to play a western setting using 5th edition d d i gave it a go but it wasn t my cup of tea so i m on hiatus i might be trying to build an osr or maybe action modern fantasy focused group at some point but its not important also i dropped the sign of the frothing mug it had good content for a while but its become a political blog apparently and i don t do politics left right or center on this blog or link to it unless somehow they are entirely germane to the osr or gaming in general posted by 5stonegames at 12 20 pm 28 comments wednesday march 23 2016 a tip for much faster and more fun gurps combat in a word maneuver cards making these is incredibly simple take a couple or three index cards and write the basic maneuvers any npc is going to use on them include weapon damage and defense and reference that when the fight starts a short example goblin skirmisher dr2 small shield df2 thrown javelin aim 1 round throw 10 yards skill 10 5 yards from ambush skill 12 1d impaling block 11 12 with retreat war club baton swing torso 12 1d 1 crushing these simple prearranged combat moves will speed up combat enormously and can also be used with martial arts by simply setting up the more complex maneuvers in advance applied carefully they can also give the impression of on the fly tactical thinking by npc s i do recommend encouraging pc s to use them which not only will this will make things quicker for them it will make them use combat options more than thrust to the torso which is a help when moving players over from systems like d d which have much more abstract combat lastly they can be used to flavor combat as well applying cool or historic names to moves will add a bit of excitement and can be used to increase immersion say a pc does taekwando writing his knife hand strike as punch torso 1d and sonkai tageri knifehand gets pc s into character and it can even easily be used with any kind of power up say an attack that is all out attack head 2d 1d cold might be called reap the frozen fruit or whatever you like anyway hope this helps your game and see you in a while posted by 5stonegames at 11 03 pm 4
