Elves...

Problem: Elves live for a very long time, often over 100 years before even reaching adulthood levels of long. With lives that long, why aren't there hundreds of level 30 elves with advanced and prestige classes saving the world from every opportunity.

Solution: Elves perceive time differently, and often live very slow lives within the elven homelands. Those who leave the fae'rie or even elven kingdoms in the world of men find that even the most homebodied of humans live fast and die hard. They adapt easily, but an elf who chooses to adventure is going to have to adapt.

Additionally, maximum level. Basically without some sort of call to adventure a character can't progress past a certain level. In DungeonPunk, a 30 level system, that maximum level is 12. When I run OSE that max level is 6 unless the race has a maximum below that. Basically experience earned from normal life can only carry you so far, and anything beyond that requires a spark of something special.

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

Second Session

 It had been a month since the last session because one of my players got into a fight with a surgeon and won, but was down for the count for weeks and with such a small tightly knit group we decided to wait for her to get back to play.  On tonight's session the followed through with their ambush on the goblins and kobolds as they tried to use the cover of night to flee, then afterwards built some rapport with the townsfolks, meeting some NPCs. 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
