Great video! How do you handle skill checks if a character doesn’t necessarily have said skill? For example Gilliman leaping off 2nd floor failed his skill check. But his list of skills doesn’t really translate to landing, jumping, etc. or diving and swinging through docks, I saw on your notes DC12 I guess you would just have them rolling flat checks? How long typically does it take you to set up a session like this? Are you using additional resources for NPC’s (names, etc.). I know you have the test copy of game so I am sure there is more lore to pull from in complete book. I am a new GM and I am just wondering how you go about planning a session. Is it similar to planning in ICRPG with scenes and branching paths? Don’t spill anything you can’t spill! Would love some tips. I’m coming together for a session 0 this Saturday with a group of friends, so excited and nervous. Love your videos and can’t wait for more recaps!

@PaladinProse 10 месяцев назад

Hey Ryan! Thanks so much for your kind words. Really helps keep me motivated to hear you're enjoying the recaps. Yeah -- I was kinda nervous to show off my notebook. To be honest, the "DC-12" you saw there was my dodo brain going into autopilot while I was prepping. The rule of thumb in C&S is that if you don't have the skill, you simply cannot do the thing. Of course , in practice, you'll have to be flexible and go with what feels right. And the classic -5 / +5 modifier range depending on difficulty will still apply. When Gilliman jumped from the rafters, I simply called for a flat D20 roll with a - penalty and rolled with it because it was so ridiculous and we all knew he was gonna faceplant anyway. I'd say this particular session took me a little longer than usual to prep because there were a lot of maps and set up. I typically take about an hour on the morning of the session to prep, though. And yeah, I'm pulling from all of the lore, characters, hex rolls, etc. from the book that will be available to all when it drops. Don't be nervous man! Crown is a bit heady by design, but once it clicks, it's really quite intuitive. The GM guide is fantastic. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions!

@Deadshot15 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for your two videos on Crown and Skull. I am just learning about this game today through Profession Dungeon Master and your videos were a great way to learn about the game in action. Thanks for posting. I hope you consider putting up the other videos. I think when the game ultimately comes out there will be people looking for some C&S content. Maybe you could expand a bit on the unique rules using examples from the game like you did when you mentioned the frogkin monk took a hit to the mouth and lost his ability to speak. Maybe people would latch onto the material if he had some teach elements along with the DM tips for it? Thanks again!

@PaladinProse 7 месяцев назад

Hey man, thanks so much, so glad to hear PDM sent ya! And thanks for your thoughtful comments. I had filmed a few more recaps and they are banked, but I became unhappy with how they were turning out so I ultimately ended the project. That said, I still think there's some good nuggets and I've gotten a lot of requests to upload them so I think I'm gonna go ahead and do that! I'm also prepping my final crown and skull session for the first week of December, and planning to release a campaign recap / things I wish I knew before type of video. Please subscribe if you haven't already and stay tuned for more, and thanks again so much for the support!

I love the janky hand drawn maps. They have a very "I drew this during history class" vibe. Sounds like a fun campaign so far.

I dig the video bro. I've started a game with me and my friends and we are having fun but have issues with grappling. Could you help and clear up grappling for us? Please and thank you

@PaladinProse 3 месяца назад

Hey thanks man! Could you clarify what exactly is tripping you up with grappling specifically?

@chrisderhodes7629 6 месяцев назад

Looks great! On the matter of skills, I have PCs with Junp of 10, 3, and a couple have none. What do they need to roll to make a jump?

@PaladinProse 6 месяцев назад

In principle a character needs to have the skill to do the thing, so the character with jump 10 needs to roll under a 10 to make a jump, and the character with a 3 needs to roll under a 3. Characters without the jump skill simply can't. That said, at least in my games, this would apply to situations where characters are leaping across wide chasms, jumping across crumbling rooftops, etc. If a character wants to make a reasonable jump, but doesn't have the skill, you can either just rule that the character makes the jump within reason, or call for a flat roll, typically a 6 or under, to do it.

@chrisderhodes7629 6 месяцев назад

@@PaladinProse it just feels like the skill system doesn’t work very well in this game. If I call for a flat check typically under 6, the player with the 3 in jump has their skill wasted because they’re rolling the same as untrained…. so I feel that isn’t a proper solution either. Other people have suggested calling for flat checks and saying anyone that trained automatically succeeds, but that screws the player that heavily invests in jump points. I know this game was play tested which is why I find it puzzling that a really fundamental part of the system appears so poorly done. Maybe there’s another solution out there or something I’m just not getting.

@PaladinProse 6 месяцев назад

At the end of the day, it's your table, and you and your players can decide what feels best. I would suggest trying not to look at it like anyone's getting screwed. If a bridge is crumbling into a fiery chasm below, you gotta roll JUMP! if you don't have jump as a skill, you gotta figure out another solution. Not everyone has the ability to make such fantastic leaps. If in the moment, you feel it's best to call for a flat roll, then those who have invested in the skill are rewarded with a free success. Maybe toss em a hero coin to sweeten the deal. That's how I have handled it. Getting caught up in rules as written, in any system, can lead to frustration IMHO. Having said that, I totally understand your point. The skill system in crown can be a hard pill for many to swallow (including my own group).

@chrisderhodes7629 6 месяцев назад

@@PaladinProse thanks for the advice. Yeah I’d love to hear from Hankerin on this. Basically every player I know is super confused on how this works and sees every option as not great.
