All is not well in TTRPG Industry! Behold the Evil of OGL 1.1!

 Wow has 2023 started off with a whirlwind. Several of my favorite games are reworking their titles in an effort to remove themselves from the WOTC OGL 1.1 forever. 


Pathfinder has ORC coming up

Basic Fantasy is working on a new Creative Commons License

The Black Hack is conducting a review to see what can be done to remove the WOTC OGL


There is a lot going on in the TTRPG Hobby. 

A lot of us feel the OSR will not be the same.  Too early to tell if this will be a good thing or a bad thing.

My Campaign Leveling System for EZD6

 

My Campaign Leveling System for EZD6 by DM Scotty * borrowed a bit from Space Gamer Magazine


Level 1 = 1 Hero Die (monsters and villains gain at Level 3)


Level 2 = +1 more Inclination (monsters & villains gain at Level 4)


Level 3 = +1 more Hero Die (monsters & villains gain at Level 5)


Level 4 = +1 more inclination +1 more Strike aka Wound (monsters & villains gain at Level 6)


Level 5 = +2 more Hero Die (monsters & villains gain at Level 7)


Level 6 - +1 Spell Resistance Rolls +2 d6 either (1) Loyal Retainers, (2) Fan Club (3) Cortege (4) Apprentices (5) Family (6) Disciples (monsters & villains gain at Level 8)


Level 7 = +1 more Inclination +1 more Strike (monsters & villains gain at Level 9)


Level 8 = Gain a Magic Steed +1 Scroll from Group 4, and 1 Scroll from Group 5 (monsters & villains gain at Level 10)


Level 9 = +2 more Hero Dice + Gain a title and domain if char does not currently have one (monsters & villains gain at Level 11) +1 More Inclination 


Level 10 = All Rolls against character are at -1 (monsters & villains gain at Level 12)


Level 11 +2 more Strike +1 Inclination (Never avail to monsters & villains)


Level 12 = All Rolls against character are at -2 (Never avail to monsters & villains)


To gain level at end of session players will argue with RR for Ignobles. All 9 of the Ignobles must be checked off to gain the next level. Players cannot check off Ignobles for next level until all checked off for current level. No forging ahead. The deeds must become ever greater and challenging.
