Re: 2012: Transylvanian Adventures & The Transylvanian Grimo
I haven't given them any assets yet, or increased money from in-between adventures. I'll do that next time, whenever that is. Assets and relationships are tied mostly to the IBA events. If you didn't want to use them, it's possible to wing it such that other items or NPCs in the characters' sphere ...

Re: 2012: Transylvanian Adventures & The Transylvanian Grimo
I've run two sessions of TA so far and just wanted to tell you how it went. Thanks for the excellent write up, grald. It's ambitious to try an investigative phase with so many characters. Typically, I only use it with a 1:1 player-to-character ratio. That's probably more manageable. You're doing it...

Re: 2012: Transylvanian Adventures & The Transylvanian Grimo
A review of TA. Can't please everyone. I fully disagree with two of his substantive criticisms, however. First, that all foreigners must be Exotics. That is flatly untrue. There's even a sidebar saying as much. Second, that TA lacks a Clergyman class. First, Clergyman is an Occupation. Second, the ...

Re: Awarding Luck
I give out Luck all the time. The more I give, the more the players spend. And I like it that way. Between adventures, I usually give the characters back their Level in Luck. With the luckier classes (Thief, Halfling, Valiant, Scoundrel) recovering back up to their full (originally rolled) total. Lu...

Re: Weird Fantasy Dwarves, Elves, and Haflings
What are some ideas I can do to help make dwarves, elves, and halflings more weird fantasy? One of the setting hacks for the Transylvanian Grimoire is using the classes in Transylvanian Adventures in a Sword & Sorcery/Weird Fantasy context. The advantages of TA in this respect are: There is no ...

What would you say is the difference between the Lulu POD and DriveThru POD? I know you've said you like the Lulu better, but what exactly are we talking about? Better colors on the cover? Thicker pages? Just feels more 'solid'? I like the printing of the cover better. I like the type of ink better...

Ordered on Lulu. Is there a mini-adventure/setting in the main book ? (I already have The Winter Home) There's a 0-level funnel featuring a few of Dr. Frankenstein's creations. As far as setting, that comes in the second book. A full hex map of Transylvania set up for play at maximum volume and mor...

Re: Failed House Rules
So these boards are good for finding things to add to your game, but there isn't really a spot where people talk about what didn't work in their game. I think that sometimes that can be just as valuable. So I'll start this off. House Rule: Critical Hits do max damage. Reasoning: We all thought that...

A possible exception to this is the DCC supplement Transylvanian Adventures .

Thanks for the answers! Also, I love how my name for the Reaver class saw print!
