Pitch 1: I have a large collection of rules for jungles (edited from dungeons) that I can release all at once or a bit at a time depending on how much space there is. I have rules for: Travelling and hazards, shaman spells, poisons and diseases, equipment, jungle ruins dungeon generator, adventure s...

Ooh, here's another one that I haven't tested yet. I've just had the thought. When you do a skill test, you roll 2d6 +1d6 for every point of relevant special skill you have and take the best two d6s. This is a very occasioal mechanic in Fighting Fantasy (like the Fast Hands spell) - it never makes r...

Here's a way of avoiding the absurd skill + special skill scores. Special skills only reduce penalties - they don't provide bonuses. This means that the only way to improve your chances is to increase your SKILL. For example - two heroes with a SKILL of 7 both try to climb an easy slope. One has a C...

i remember that from Adv Heroquest! colour me very interested. especially the mystic maze part, in the original board game this part was guarded by some magical fireballs which moved around the map and some ratmen assassins IIRC i remember that being the most interesting part of the game sadly, the...

as for low skill high special skill NPC's just don't use the same rules for creating NPC's as PC's. This does mean that Bob the barbarian is likely to be ripped off the Gheed the unscrupulous merchant, but isn't that likely anyway? This reminded me of one of Dr Bargle's vlog posts where instead of ...

If we can't get an AFF OOTP made, how about the rulebook has the rules for 50 common monsters - orcs, goblins, trolls, ogres, red dragons, animals, dinosaurs, zombies, skeletons etc. - and even a few NPCs so that directors can extrapolate from that. As fun as a Vlobad is, it's not going to come up m...

On the topic of limiting improvement to stop invincible warriors, I have a few points: 1) Anything suggested would probably be too great a rules change for just a reprint. 2) A director could get around it with some ingenuity. First of all, a warrior with SKILL 7 and 2 points in a weapon skill needs...

There are a few common themes from the list. Some might already be answered in the book, but people might not be able to find them easily. They seem to be: What order are actions in combat? Movement rules in combat How do you calculate magic points? Missile weapon penalties - why is firing -5 and th...

<r>Here are some threads which discuss clarifications or things to clear up. These are the posts from pages 20-15. Here are two notes:<br/> <br/> This is purely clarifications and corrections. Not suggestions for new/different rules.<br/> <br/> Some of the questions may have already been answered in...

I think we need to clarify if we are simply making existing rules clearer and spotting mistakes or adding anything else as some suggestions might cross a line.

Maybe some things could go in suggested house rules?

Dodge automatically gives armour rolls and Swashbuckler gives +1 bonus - not my idea, but isn't that the case in Stellar Adventures and did I read that it should be in AFF?

Also, Sword of Sharpness gives +1 to damage and not damage rolls?
