Flametongue

I found an infographic I made a while ago that is really simple. It's just me writing in my own shitty handwriting (and I can provide samples if you really want proof that its mine, just ask) where I took the entries from AD&D1E and AD&D2E for the Flametongue sword and placed them next to the 3.5 and 5E versions of the weapon. I skipped 4E since it's different kind of fantasy RPG just branded D&D, but still. When I first posted it on /tg/ it caused a lot of shitflinging and handwringing for about a day. The thread got over 100 posts but fell off the board before it could autosage. The post itself didn't have an explicit moral judgment on which is better, but since this is mostly an OSR blog you can guess where I stand on this... well at least the 3.5 version can shoot a fireblast. That's something more than just degrading a unique weapon name to "sword +1, flames on command"... yeah.

The ambush was really good, Crispin the magic-user used his sleep spell to take out most of the hobgoblin's personal guard. The elf, thief and cleric used missile weapons to pick off the goblins carrying the chest, then the hobgoblin rushed the cleric who whacked him right good in the had knocking him from full to 1 hp in a single hit. I had him check morale right away and he decided to run for it cursing in goblin "fuck this, its not worth it". The treasure was nice. All of the coin and gems they'd stolen over the last cou

 Remember that Ultima game I made? https://stevemangames.blogspot.com/2023/01/i-made-game-in-48-hours.html I went back to it and filled in a lot of the gaps and made it into about as close to a complete game as I can (since I have no idea how to write a GM section and didn't want to sit down and fully detail the settong of Ultima 3 through 5). Here it is https://www.mediafire.com/file/om5y7gbaahzi1vs/Ultima_TRPG.pdf/file It's not the best thing since sliced milk, but it is a good game. More of a game than Mork Borg that for sure. also an art wip the blocking sketch of some fanart of the intro scene from U5
