Time works against adventurers in _Torchbearer_. The grind of the dungeon erodes resources, bodies, and minds, rest is likely far away, and you need the **grit** to keep going anyway. Discomfort becomes one of the principal subjects of adventuring.

After a European vacation hiatus, I am finally back with a new essay. Today I take a look at what makes up the construction of a good hex for a hex crawl for D&D and Torchbearer.

@Da_Gut When I want to do inventory I steal the system from #Torchbearer. Each character have a bunch of slots and most are earmarked to where they are, for example 2 slots for hands, 4 for torso. Items then take up slots depending on use and how cumbersome they are. A sword may be Hands 1/Waist 1, backpack Torso 2.
Here is the inventory sheet for reference https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/317031035076476930/1201064367429521469/NO4e1dDYdygk3aZB9ALjOyNO9M2NHBrYqahbbXJUTKM.png?ex=65c8755b&is=65b6005b&hm=b7dadf76b8d330a8d835fcf8f7bf428bf8a85ed04fe4afda6ae525229c3558ff&
I find it does the job of making inventory matter very well.

@deinol That depends on what you're focusing on. if it's mainly the gritty feel and the blasted landscape, #GURPS After the End should do well or #ApocalypseWorld (on the other side of the spectrum). Though both of those are SF, of course.
If you're just going for high lethality and actually making it hard for characters to survive, you might want to look at #Torchbearer or #FiveTorchesDeep, though I haven't really played those. You can make any RPG arbitrarily survival-like by focusing on realistic healing and resource scarcity, but some take more fiddling than others.

I have asked #chatGPT to generate characters for #burningwheel ,#torchbearer and #mouseguard and it delivered. For years I have used donjon.bin.sh as GM assistant, however recently I found chatGPT very useful for random generation of system-specific things.

This week's post I'm finally continuing with my Torchbearer campaign design notes.
The topic of the day is random encounters and how I plan on using them in this game.

The Grind will kill you, if the monsters don't first! Torchbearer is NOT for the faint of the heart.

#ttrpg #torchbearer #42 #wins
So last night me and my group managed a unicorn within TTRPGs. We wrapped up a fortytwo (42) session long online (Discord, Roll20)Torchbearer 2e campaign. Not only that we managed to work with adult schedules (most of us 30+) and the group that started the campaign ended it. No dropouts, and it took us "only" 55 weeks. Roughly 75% of planned sessions actually happened! That is including skips for holidays.
I am impressed with us.

@IAmThePoisonIvy two questions: what is #torchbearer (Google is hard work) and does one have to be a chronic dumbass to play it?

@TylerRoseRPG For me, the threshold question is what is the crunch in service of?
Really crunchy mechanics in support of being a game or building a narrative? #Lancer #ICON #2d20 #BurningWheel #Torchbearer
Sign me up!
Crunchy mechanics in support of “realism” or system mastery? I’m looking at you Shadowrun, Cyberpunk, etc. If your system has a gun list I’m almost certainly not interested.
