Looks like the whole YouTube channel was taken down. Trying to find some let’s play content but the pool is pretty shallow. They looked promising .
For those who are unaware, OSR stands for Old School Roleplay, and is often based on the 1970s version of D&D. They are notable for their light and interpretive rules and are a lot of fun for new players, or veteran players looking for something fresh and (in my experience) much more engaging. After getting a copy of Obojima, I set out to make an OSR conversion or ‘hack’ for the beautiful world that 1985 games developed. The OSR I run—which this hack is based on—is David Black’s The Black Hack, however this hack should work with any OSR with only minor adjustments. I highly encourage anyone who uses this hack to purchase a copy of the Obojima rulebook, as it will give you much more than this hack does, and allows you to run a campaign effectively. This hack was developed as a companion to the official rulebook and world. I hope you enjoy!
You can download the hack here.
Note: I intend to make a character sheet to accompany this hack, however in the meantime, OSRs are classically played with blank ruled sheet of paper, and I believe doing so really adds to the ambience of the Old School playing.
Basically, what the title says. I've got a player whos thinking about playing an oni sorcerer. However, with certain spells and other abilities, they might multiclass depending on the character and how the story goes, we kinda need to make a ruling on what the onis horn counts as.
Does it count as an unarmed strike? As a natural weapon, that's not counted for an unarmed strike? (Yest that's a ruling) or as a natural weapon that can be used as an unarmed strike? Does it count as none of the above thus it's actually an improvised weapon? I know it's entirely used to cast spells, but certain spells and abilities buff weapons, and certain spells and abilities buff unarmed strikes.
Example, the paladin now has multiple valid smite spells, one can be used for unarmed strikes, while others can only be used via weapons.
I know the choice comes down to me in the end as the dm, but im curious to hear other people's ruling.
This is my 2nd ever map, so please share your thoughts/feedback! I tried to make it as book accurate as i could. I had so much fun drawing it!
I'm definitely not a sculpter, but that resemble me and my wife's characters. A college of Masks Bard and a corrupted ranger.
These are my first minis and I know they're not awesome, but what does the collective think?
I wanna know if my Obojima character sounds good: 7-year-old nonbinary Nakudama named Sakura. Growing up in Yatamon, their family was relatively poor and so they did odd jobs around town to earn money. One day, as they help fix a human's truck, they looked up and saw that the human had vanished, leaving a staff in her place. As they picked up the staff, white dawn blossom petals appeared on the ground, making a trail leading to an ancient plant spirit named Hanakotoba. Hanakotoba taught Sakura the skills of a Circle of the Petal Druid, which they continue to use on their adventures.
