I Mixed Dungeons and Dragons with OHOL. It Was Interesting

OminousBladeBlank · 2019-05-28 06:01:33

Hey all,

I recently did something a little different with a few friends of min who play this game as we tripletted.

We decided to roll for our personality stats for each life using 1d6.

1d6 is a 6 sided die.

We rolled for three stats

MORALITY, JUSTICE, CLASS were each individual stats.

MORALITY: 1-2 was evil (actively works against town) 3-4 was self-interested, 5-6 is good (work entirely for town)

JUSTICE: 1-2 was chaotic (no rules), 3-4 was neutral, 5-6 was lawful (follow stricter RP code)

CLASS: was a 1-6 numeric ranking that would determine who in the group had hierarchal status and set expectations towards leadership goals.

The group then also made a 'racism modifier roll' -- a 1-6 roll that would determine how friendly we would be to non-family members (it was basically a metric to determine how racist we would be in a life. 6 was very friendly and 1 was very racist.

We played this way, rolling separaely for three lives (though we kept a few rolls through some early deaths).

It was interesting. When we were good, we tried to keep the peace and remove trouble makers.

WHen we were bad, we organized and launched large raids against those who's RP had wronged us.

It's obvious though that when triplets and quads even sometimes twins) are involved, there are often power struggles and hierarchal imbalances between the grouped players and the surrounding family. Sometimes it gets really sketchy.

It was a lot of fun. Try it out! I was good twice and evil once. each life involved a lot of killing as racial tensions are meta atm. However, when I was evil I really orchestrated quite the genocide.

Interesting but definitely feels like a way to justify doing bad things - different folks different strokes.

I think having 1/3 of people evil is probably overkill. If every third person has a perversion for genocide everyone is basically screwed. Can you just let the psychopath griefers do the griefing? We have enough on our plates as it is.

Argh can I just shackle assholes and shove a long shaft up then? Sick of this shit. Stop kicking sand castles

I don't know why you would refer to mixing d&d into ohol if you're using a d6 system.

I think he was referring to just the alignment system

And d20 >>> d6

Simple fools. We used a d6 because we split each (aside from the last) category into three sections and a d6 has perfect thirds while a d20 doesn't.

It is also more about the fact we statted our characters.

Evil doesn't mean homicidal. Evil and aggressive is homicidal. Still though, it was just a way to create depth of character and RP.

I'm fine with a triangular run and semi-sphere ends. If it rolls like a die and tells me a number...

What happens if one or more of you is lawful good but the other chaotic evil?

Didn't happen, we actually, by some miracle, all were good or evil together (granted, we only rolled three stat blocks each).

We would have used player vs. character information to have internal conflicts, and standard play for external conflicts.
