Goodman Games

I included a riddle in a recent adventure, and the players got it almost immediately. (By coincidence, it actually happened to be #3 on DM Marcus's list.) That's what I find often happens with riddles -- either the players get it immediately, or they can't get it at all. That can be true of any puzz...

Absolutely use and modify however you want. I like the idea of rolling more small dice to make spellburn less dangerous for small spellburn amounts. However, I'd be worried that it makes it too dangerous for large spellburn amounts. For 20 points of spellburn, rolling 20d4 on the table would make it...

I'd also definitely purchase a matched set if one were offered by Goodman or a reliable third party. I can see why Goodman doesn't want to branch out into dice, but if they could set up a partnership with an "official" third party, that would be awesome.

Based on the experience using the table in our last session, I've added a couple supplementary tables to help the judge and player come up with entities and oaths on the fly. New version posted to Google Drive:

Cojo,

Of course, you're from a small logging village. Not sure there's a tattoo artist readily available, and you probably don't want to tick off the King of Elfland by having someone do a crappy amateur tattoo of him... Perhaps your tattoo will become a mini-adventure of its own.

You're welcome. Glad you found it useful!

Awesome. That is super helpful. Looks like it's probably about 5x8, which is what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Cool, that's what I was thinking, but wasn't positive. Thanks!

Can anyone tell me what size the Official Bag of Weird Dice is? Can't really tell from the picture. Thanks!

I have a related question to this -- can the luck changes on table 7-9 raise a character's luck above its starting value, or only replace Luck points that have been burned down? This came up in our last gaming session, and there were differing opinions on it. Thanks!

I've put together an alternative to Table 5-1 (Spellburn Actions) that makes the spellburn actions (i.e. what the wizard has to do besides burn the points) dependent on number of points spellburned + a d20 roll. The lower results are mostly flavor, but the higher results have in-game consequences. I...

Spellburn is a pretty cool mechanic, but one thing that struck me as odd is that spellburn actions are completely random, but some spellburn actions are much worse than others. For example, you might spellburn 20 points and just have to lose a little blood. Or, you might spellburn 2 points and sell ...
