Interesting Thoughts from Other Gamers (1)
2 August, 2009As I am a member of the RPG Bloggers Network, it seems like a good idea to highlight some of the other posts and sites that I have been enjoying.
If you liked the Through the Lens of History article on Greek and Roman Religions take a look at the article on Observing the Lustrum over at Fame & Fortune.
Take a look at Super Simple Combat Maneuvers over at Tales of the Rambling Bumblers. I really like that basic idea but I want to add just a little more cruch to it, still pondering the best way though.
Great resources for City Building over at Evil Machinations.

What sort of crunch? One simple thing you could do is reintroduce “feats” that give characters bonuses with specific maneuvers…such as a wider crit range (forcing the maneuver on a 19 or 20, say).
I was pondering that but I think I want to leave that as a weapon perk (halberd for trip attacks, sai or jitte for disarm, and so on).
Since I was thinking of having the maneuver take a -1 attack penalty. A feat would remove that and maybe give you access to some sort of minor maneuver? Say, you could take a 5-step after a successful trip or push for example.
