I just ordered this while waiting in line for the bathroom while doing a pub-crawl. 😂

The Baron pub-crawls!

@MemphiStig 10 месяцев назад

At last! All the fun of a pub crawl without all that walking and drinking...

@jesselarson1281 10 месяцев назад

I bought this in PDF four months ago and have been running this module since then (about 12 sessions). It's provided the basis for a lot of fun. But, the GM will have to put in some work. The city setting is lightly sketched, so if your players start interacting with the characters, the factions, shops - anything at all besides 12 bars - you will have to create it, so bring your own random charts of all that stuff. Details about the "major" (but still lightly-sketched) NPCs who do exist are often spread across random charts on more than one page, sometimes in an irritating way. ("On Day 4, the Medusa approaches the characters to ask..." Who is the Medusa again? Oh, she's in a random encounter in a bar 5 pages later.) The bars do not have physical descriptions - the most you get is one tiny exterior illustration - so you'll have to make all of that up as well. Some bars (of course!) are not as good as others. You will vibe with some that I didn't, but I do think it's lame that not one but two of the bars are based on sitcoms, both with randomly generated A and B plots and multiple unnamed characters with spare single-sentence descriptions interacting with each other - this is TOO MUCH for me to improv on the spot when my drunk band of murderhobos stumble in demanding entertainment (and not in a fun way). Finally, this is NOT a resource for bars you can just drop in to most campaigns - they will only suit silly, high-magic, ironic settings where your players are ready to enjoy the joke of a bar for old barbarians, a kobold beerhall, a karaoke bar with a phoenix, etc.

@MemphiStig 10 месяцев назад

Now I''m worried this is going to raise expectations of pub crawls irl unreasonably high.

@Zirbip 10 месяцев назад

This looks like a lot of fun. It would be a great one-shot or a way to release tension in an otherwise serious and dark campaign.

@tonyvillarreal1812 10 месяцев назад

Sweet! This makes it a trilogy. I really liked the 2nd ed Return to Kotb. A Silver anniversary mod

@iododendron3416 10 месяцев назад

The first pub crawl where you tap your beer with a ten foot pole before drinking it?

@ForeverStrange101 9 месяцев назад

A friend of mine did art in this! Love this book, a ton of fun

@euansmith3699 11 месяцев назад

"A Pub Crawl" 😄😄😄😄👍

@ricardo.mazeto 11 месяцев назад

The illustrations, graphic design, and layout on this book really makes it 10x more interesting. 10/10. Absolutely gorgeous.

@estevanphillips6889 10 месяцев назад

Wow, this is awesome! So much inspiration in there.

@geoffdewitt6845 11 месяцев назад

Honestly I want to use this to spice up a Strixhaven 5e game!

@ToddPutnam 11 месяцев назад

Purchased! Thanks for the great review.

@ADayintheLifeoftheTw 10 месяцев назад

This is cute. As a practicing alcoholic, I would enjoy this, sadly, my entire party is a bunch of teetotalers. Oh well, maybe I can convince them that they can rp a pub crawl.

@JohnSyrain-uz8ow 11 месяцев назад

I so want this book!

@AlexanderWestcott 11 месяцев назад

This looks like a lot of fun. Definitely want it.

@kalleendo7577 10 месяцев назад

Awesome!

@HowtoRPG 10 месяцев назад

Thanks

@GeoffSayre 11 месяцев назад

Beautiful illustrations. Seems like a fun adventure or inspiration source. I love the independent creations that arise from the OSR

@user-tp5ox8zj6u 11 месяцев назад

Hey Ben! I was just hoping to aks you: when is the Knave 2e will be available for purchase for non backers? Thank you!

@markgnepper5636 10 месяцев назад

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

@omarbenmegdoul8950 11 месяцев назад

This seems like it would play very well with Gone Fishin', just slap the two modules together.

@JasonDWood 10 месяцев назад

Not sure how to get in touch, but a quick comment: in your Knave 2e playtest, you've misspelled Dave Wesely's name in the opening section!

@StudioArtoo 10 месяцев назад

@questingbeast where can i please still order a copy of knave 2e ? 🙏❤️

@razorchuckles 11 месяцев назад

Really clever idea, and loads of humor. $25 for the print copy seems a bit steep, but looks like it could be a lot of fun for the right group.

@keldin9303 11 месяцев назад

If you look at the print copy on the website it looks like it has glossy pages. Am I crazy?

@Runehammer1 10 месяцев назад

How is it 'old school' again?

@QuestingBeast 10 месяцев назад

Compatible with OSE, features a player-driven open ended situation rather than a plot, uses world simulation tables, etc

@jesselarson1281 10 месяцев назад

@@QuestingBeast It's not "compatible with OSE" beyond having a table converting CON scores into a PC's capacity for drunkenness, some 1 or 1d6 HP gains and losses for burping or throwing up. It also uses Advantage and Disadvantage on CHA and DEX checks when you're a certain level of drunk - which I would say makes this more compatible with 5e than any other system? Other than those things, there are no stats. Do "open-ended situations" and random tables really make something old school by themselves?

@QuestingBeast 10 месяцев назад

@@jesselarson1281 Sure. Old-School is more about playstyle to me than stats. "Compatible" just means you don't have to much, or any, conversion. Which is true here.
