Come with us now, on a journey through time and space, to the land of Old School RPGs! Gamers of all experience levels welcome!
Today's trip into the OSR is going to be a continuation of "In Search of the Unknown" using "Barbarians of the Ruined Earth" by Mike Evans of DIY RPG Productions.
WHAT’S THIS?
Barbarians of the Ruined Earth is a quick and easy rules-lite post-apocalyptic heroic fantasy game that is based on the awesome The Black Hack rules by David Black and is inspired by the animated series Thundarr the Barbarian, Mad Max, He-Man, and other sources.
THE CORE MECHANIC
Every action a character might possibly attempt that could result in failure is resolved by testing attribute stats; in order to successfully test a stat, a player must roll below it on a d20. Enemies don’t make tests, instead a character must avoid their attacks by making a test. The only time an enemy would roll is for damage.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WILL BE A VIRTUAL EVENT!
When you register for the event, please include your e-mail address and your choice for character class. (Character classes include: Barbarian, Death Priest, Scavenger, Urchin, Beastman, Robot, Vek (raptorfolk), and Sorcerer.) Priority will be given to those who have already made characters. If additional people sign up, I will try to do this event more than once.
You will need to create an account on roll20 (https://roll20.net/welcome) for the event (It's free!) and audio will be through Zoom. I will contact you before the event to send you one of the pre-generated characters and the links to the game.
