Are you referring to "1. OBSERVATORY. In the center, a stone sphere resembling the moon."?
As I read this (incorrectly apparently haha), I thought it was referring to something much larger if PC's can squeeze through the hole.
In area 6 LADY STATUE the statue appears human-sized in the illustration. She is holding a moonstone, implying it is small enough to hold in one hand.
This might be the point of confusion?
The Monster Overhaul by Skerples has a bunch of stuff about eating monsters. I got most of my ideas about it from his original Monster-Menu-All PDF on the subject: https://coinsandscrolls.blogspot.ca/2017/08/monster-menu-all-part-1-ad-monster.html
Thanks!
The Black Hack is kind of its own thing. The general principles of how monsters work are probably directly compatible with Glaive, though PCs tend to be hardier, so i might bump the damage a bit. 3 points, or 1d6 in the example you give
Monster Overhaul is a great book! And yes, directly compatible
I tend to use monsters out of Old School Essentials. There is a big tome, but you can also buy separate digest sized books. The Monster Book is very portable.
It's not you. It's Glaive. I don't randomize monster hp as D&D does - who wants to track variable hp for a dozen orcs? I use that flat 5 (though I buff/nerf hp as I feel appropriate).
I still record those little +1/+2 HD bonuses in Glaive because it affects the monster's attack bonus and the amount of XP it is worth. Using the guidance in Old School Essentials, a monster with 3HD has an attack bonus of +2. A monster with 3HD+1 (or 2 etc.) has a bonus of +3. They are also worth more xp, and if they have special abilities those also add xp - which will be a different value with or without the little HD bonus.
Your confusion is warranted. I've never explained my monster conversions to anyone before LOL
I am SO ANGRY this is not out yet!!! 😂
I was road tripping to my folks house last night and finally got to listen to ITM and thought “This sounds great. Buying it immediately when I get to my destination!” Haha
your XP system sounds awesome. Can’t wait to steal it for my table. Signed up for the mailing list. Looking forward to backing this game.
I’m so glad you like it!
Eventually I would like to do a small addition - more Talents and such
I’m finally about to fulfill on this year’s Zinquest project, and once that is done I will be uploading HOME (a system for setting up a small sandbox) and YALOON (and example of said sandbox applications). Both are more or less system-agnostic, but the monster etc. in YALOON are statted for GLAIVE. Should be out soon.
No, not a glitch. Just us being confusing. Skipping the boring details: I had to generate the keys from my personal itch.io page, rather than this (my work page).
Go here and try again: https://lonely-adventurer.itch.io/
No, it's the same game. I was running into issues generating download keys from the other account, so I've reposted it here.
If you backed the home Kickstarter, or purchased GLAIVE from Tesladyne you will receive a key (once Itch approves my mass email request) so that you get notified of any updates
