Text of the page (random words):
if a person can entertain an audience for at least half an hour the performer can use his her performance skill as a modifier for any reaction roll of an audience member for a day after the performance medicine knowledge of health disease and injury can be used to assess medical conditions can also be used for first aid to heal 1d3 of hp directly after damage occurs can also be used to prevent death for someone with a mortal wound after successful check person is allowed a fortitude save stabilizing the wounded takes all the time of the medic for the rest of the combat sailing the handling and steering of boats and basic navigation certain larger ships might need a certain amount of points in this skill to become usable stealth how well a character can sneak around and hide to use this those that the character wants to hide from have to be unaware of the character s presence this doesn t make invisible if there is no way to hide or if people search the place the character is hiding he she still is found if a character attacks after successful use of hiding this is considered a surprise attack even if the enemy is already in a fight scholarship general and specific knowledge about history dead languages and other esoteric fields of study scholarship might be used to identify artifacts and decipher ancient messages sneak attack sneak attacks are attacks made by surprise a character can multiply the damage done by a sneak attack by allocating points to this skill assume that the damage multiplier is 1 for all characters but for every additional point allocated to the skill the damage multiplier is increased by x0 5 swimming the skill of how to swim in general everyone should at least have some basic knowledge of this skill checks become important when situations are dangerous e g traversing a strong current or under averse conditions heavily encumbered tinker manipulating mechanical objects and contraptions is called tinkering most often used to open locks or disengage traps the character has to have open access to the mechanical parts of the contraption and might have to have tools fit for the purpose wilderness characters can find food and water during journeys overland and can find the right direction languages all characters begin with the local common tongue and one additional language generally the local trade tongue and something culturally related e g dwarvish additional languages can be chosen at the dm s discretion a character with intelligence 13 gains one more one with 16 two more and one with intelligence 18 three more languages all characters with intelligence scores of 9 or more can read and write any language they know that has a written form at intelligence 9 literacy is basic reading is slow and difficult spelling and grammar are optional quality improves with intelligence additional languages can be learned by using skill points note for simplicity s sake languages are binary i e they only have one point for fluency no matter how unrealistic that is edit changed the sneak attack modifier to 0 5 to cut down on potentially game breaking assassins additional fediverse tags rpg osr my dungeon game roleplaying osr skills ttrpg panic 2 comments posted by geoffrey on april 20 2026 i do like random results in my game especially effects of reaction and morale rolls i feel the game is much more interesting if i as the referee do not exactly know what is going to happen with any given npc the issue is of course that while i try to come up with reasonable reactions sometimes my npcs are too reasonable so this table is supposed to deal with that what happens when npcs fail a morale roll morale rolls come from the wargaming roots of dungeons and dragons and in chainmail this would mean a retreat fantasy roleplaying has a lot more intimate combat though what happens when a group of npc combatants realizes there is no way for a fight to go their way i think in most cases they will try to have a more or less ordered retreat as well if not able to do so they will surrender but at the extreme end i would say they should panic this might not be completely realistic but it certainly might get some interesting results in a game panic when a character npcs fails a morale check on a roll of 12 roll on panic table note please remember that npcs with a morale value of 12 do not check morale panic table 1 mindless panic character will try to get away from danger in the most direct way possible if not possible go to result 2 2 cower character will cower in fear trying to limit attack surface 3 hysterics character has a hysteric fit will have to save against spell to snap out of it if not possible within 1d6 rounds go to result 4 4 fainting character will faint out of commission for 1d12 rounds 5 berserk rage will attack indiscriminately for 1d6 rounds at 1 afterwards go to result 4 6 heart attack save against death otherwise suffer heart attack dungeons and

shipping company admin citizen corporate required skills none required equipment transportation westom karr as shipping is a single system transport company specializing in non jump mining transports one of their large mineral transports from the asteroid belt in the outer system has stopped responding to calls the ship the westom vi is still there but gives no response to hails the ship isn t due for another month but the amount if minerals is worth millions of credits it would be good if someone could check out what happened claire is willing to pay 5 000 for a check in plus routine maintenance and fuel for their ship in their facilities if pressed she also can offer an additional contract to deliver supplies to the belt mining facility the westom vi came from an asteroid strike has taken out all the communication antennas repairs were stymied by lack of replacement parts the small crew will be happy about any assistance that can be rendered an asteroid strike has taken out the main cabin of the ship one crewman is still hanging entangled in wires but dead the other two cannot be found the ship is abandoned systems are running on autopilot half eaten dishes on the table no trace of the crew the crew is present but claims no contact with the main world can be established this turns out to be true something is interfering with communications in the area around the ship as 4 but there is one additional crew member unaccounted for by the company something psionically active in the cargo has been driving the crew insane by the time the pcs arrive only one member of the crew is alive but he has taken on two split personalities from the ones he murdered and ate traveller rpg traveller ttrpg bless you 3 comments posted by geoffrey on january 28 2026 small houserule i came up with while redoing the my xp awards for my campaign attending a church service religious ceremony of a friendly faith and tithing appropriately to their stature at least 50g p gives 50 xp it also has a chance of bestowing a blessing the character tithing needs to roll save vs spell to gain the effects of a bless spell until the next combat or rest period whatever happens first a critical failure on this roll 1 in 20 instead gains them the effect of a quest the pc in question now is taken with the unbearable need to do something specific ideally something related to the saint deity worshipped in the temple mind you you might think this is just a boon for player characters but the effect of this can also affect opponents be they clerics cultists or members of various tribes there is a chance any particular group is under the influence of a bless spell as long as there is a cleric or shaman attending their spiritual needs this also means the local tribes might send out representatives on quests themselves an orcish tribe might get the quest to locate a legendary weapon of their tribe now in the hands of the local baron dungeons and dragons roleplaying dnd osr

2025 rpg ttrpg elves can see in the dark leave a comment posted by geoffrey on october 31 2025 elves are well known to be able to see in the dark because they glow infravision and darkvision to me never made that much sense for elves why would they be able to see in complete darkness every picture of an elf in the woods has them lit by some unearthly glo ooooooh yeah so elves faintly glow from the inside in an unearthly light not much not really that noticeable during the day but any elf gives enough light to navigate a forest and or cave in other words about the same range and fidelity as a dwarf s darkvision benefit elves and their companions don t necessarily need light sources to navigate complete darkness although the effect is more like using your phone screen to find your way to the bathroom than a proper light source not enough to properly search a room with but better than nothing drawback 1 elves are visible in complete darkness even extinguishing your torch isn t gonna make the elf stop glowing unless properly covered this also means elvish thieves have a 20 on hide in shadows unless covered drawback 2 their glow messes up the darkvision of others you wonder why dwarves don t like elves well lots of reasons but one is that when they are near they can t use their darkvision properly corollary dark elves are dark elves or shadow elves because they cast a natural darkness the same way that surface elves glow dungeons and dragons labyrinth lord roleplaying dnd elves osr rpg ttrpg a miscellany of links pt xxv leave a comment posted by geoffrey on october
