This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Anyone playing Hackmaster?

Quote from: Brand55;834762Yeah, Frandor's Keep (which looks awesome, btw) was written for Hackmaster Basic, not 5th Edition. They're perfectly compatible, as far as I know, but that's why the cover has the Basic logo on it instead of the normal HM5 one.

I haven't read the Basic version of the game, but I suspect if I was ever to do anything with it I'd start with HMB instead of HM5.

Yeah, I really like Basic.

Dude! What the fuck were you thinking when designing Frandor's Keep dungeons?

We were 6 players plus GM and the dungeons were tight. I mean tight to the point where with HackMaster's initiative system you can't do anything if you roll a good initiative when all the others before you roll badly. Fuck! The 'boss fight' where my character died, had 5 feet by 30 feet entrance, y'know, just in case. Sure you had to design something to even out the goblins' poor movement/maneuver ability, but sheesh. Sometimes too much is too much.

LOL! That wasn't me personally. I didn't work on those dungeons. :)

I'm not sure whether that was intentional or not.
