Dragonbane.

yet...

It looks like it should work perfectly fine for a campaign like B/X DandD, but without character levels, spell slots, the weird attack roll system, and with skills. All the rules for wandering monsters, reaction rolls, and morale that make B/X great can just be added to Dragonbane almost as is.

I had to look if this was posted in Science Memes or RPG Memes.

Of course you can always include more detail to get more realism.

But my main goal is to make using hex maps for travel more convenient to use while still maintaining the 6-mile resolution. That means all daily travel distances have to come out as full increments of 6 miles, and the equation to calculate speed has to be easy enough to do by memory without looking up any tables. I don't think it's mathematically possible to produce something like that with more factors going into it.

Not sure if we would catch anything here that isn't already there.

True science! Without compassion, decency, and humanity.

Yay...

But how many of the Rollmaster spells are actually useful?

That's 10 times as much water overhead as in the Mariana's Trench (since water doesn't compress like air, this scales about linear), while having a ninth of the gravity. So water pressure at the bottom shouldn't be that much higher. And it's already doable to get down to such pressures with current technology.

Though having something the size of a medium ship instead of a car would probably require some sci-fi tech. But nothing too fantastic.

Surface gravity on Europa isn't very high. So having the thing being extremely heavy would not be much of an issue if it's not supposed to take off and land on Earth. Once the sub is in the water it will be bouyant, that helps with dealing with weight too. But even with low gravity, the extreme depth of the ocean will lead to incredible pressures near the bottom, where the cool stuff is likely to be found. So the sub will have to be extremely strongly build.

In the end ,I discovered that DBA is pretty much the game I was envisioning in my mind for how an ancient/medieval wargame for casual newcomers should be like.

It reminds me a lot of OD&D and B/X in how it compares to other popular fantasy wargames today. There is a fantasy version called Hordes of the Things based on an earlier version of DBA, but I like the current version of DBA from 2014 much better from a first read.

No player creativity in my game, you snowflake!

Well, the issue is that it doesn't work on my Fedora 40 KDE computer.

So opinion here is that it's just a crappy browser?

Wild suggestion: But would it have to have much of a mechanical impact on character stats?

Characters don't have many stats to begin with and they are mostly pretty abstract. When the goal is to create more character background and tied it into the setting, perhaps that could be accomplished entirely without customizing the character's stats at all?

If there were an ADHD memes community, I'd totally subscribe to it.

Having read OD&D and AD&D 1st edition in the original English, I don't think bad translations would have increased the amount of misinterpretations to a meaningful degree.

Though with the level of quality of the 5th edition DMG, I would say that D&D is still a game that is taught primarily by oral tradition, if you include text conversations in that category. Public assumptions of how to play the game are much more impactful than what is written in the books.

Yeah, this would be for DIYRPG Campaigns and Adventures.

I don't think it's possible to move threads between communities. But @nickdrawthing@diyrpg.org could "crosspost" this thread to Campaigns and Adventures to Campaigns and Adventures (one of the buttons under the thread title where you can edit it). Then there would be a copy of the first post there and I can delete this one. If I crosspost this thread, then I think it's shown as a thread I started, so you better do that yourself.

Good question, I'm still figuring everything out myself.

But old posts should show up when you are subscribed to a community. And you have to subscribe to every community separately. There are seven in total on DIYRPG. Maybe it's that?
