#BattleSystem
Once you start giving them more HP then yeah, they're not going to be much threatened

My influence is AD&D's Battlesystem, which assumed most NPCs had 1 HD. (Monsters were another story.)

You were in the trenches for Battlesystem even if that never got released. I’d say you earned your bonafides there.

🛡️Some enemies in our turn-based battlesystem are protected by a Shield Aura.
Use attacks to erase that aura and look for the enemy's weakness! 🛡️

soz, I was under the impression that AD&D is considered yucky and not OSR adjascent by most in such circles? Having recently played through all of AD&D Dark Sun TSR adventures and it was kinda similar to 3.5 in a lot of ways. But I liked how it did initiative & spell interrupts. Battlesystem sux tho

Thank you, Casey!

Our game, Charon: Zhetan Chronicles, is a 2D pixelart RPG with turnbased battlesystem in the style of classics like Final Fantasy and Octopath, but with a big emphasis on diversity. It's an epic adventure but with a lot of queer characters!

The next year (more like five months), H2 was released, which went back to a large, tough, dungeon in a standard module. There are fragments of a possible sequel BattleSystem campaign, but the printed version doesn't support it. #FR #ForgottenRealms #D&D

Grandia is such a good journey, the battle system is such an interesting take, & very very unique for its time.

Story: Guy just wants to be an adventurer, friendship and wholesome no grimdark edge
Battlesystem: 3D Turnbased system similar to FFX2 but with the potential to cancel opponents attacks

Actual Battlesystem is also a pretty solid wargame and way better than chainmai.

We used Battlesystem mostly after it came out. Before that we just half-assed our own rules by treating individual units as 3/5/10 of the same unit and multiplying their HP by whatever. But we'd also all grown up playing SPI war games. I learned from an older brother who endlessly thrashed me.

Ahhhh, bueno, sé que AD&D tuvo varias ediciones de un suplemento para batallas grandes, pero pensaba que se habían creado wargames desde las reglas de rol y estaba 🤯.

Birthday gift from a friend and from myself. WFB 1987, Battlesystem 1989. #nerdlings

Look out for my future blog post where I speculate about why the D&D wargame never really happended. 🥳🥰⚔️

La opción ultra económica es el hacerlo tu mismo.

Conoces el canal crooked staff terrain?

Tiene tutoriales, los archivos a "paga lo que quieras" en drivethrough, y mucha variedad, tanto tipo dungeon como exteriores.

Yo tengo los ojos puestos en battlesystem, pero no es tan barata.

Trying (& failing) to remember if TSR’s Battlesystem was inside the 1E AD&D rules or not as a suggestion for modeling…

AD&D adventure collection part 3: Forgotten Realms shall absorb all
All these were general non-setting specific projects; but got moved to the Realms later
N4 was an interesting take on having 0-level characters 'grow' into regular classes. Bloodstone Pass was an adventure for use with BattleSystem.

Nachdem ich jetzt 4 Chapters hinter mir hab kann ich glaub ich sicher sagen:
Die Story in DioField Chronicles spricht mich überhaupt nicht an und finde ich eher langweilig...aber dafür macht das Battlesystem immerhin Spaß
Da ich fast am Ende bin werd ich die restlichen paar Missions auch noch machen
