Very late to the conversation but just want to support the view that Lassiter is a terrific movie; definitely one of Selleck's best and the movie is very udnerappreciated.

Not a movie, but a great resource for pulp-style shennigans, is Tales of the Gold Monkey. It still holds up and I recommend it to everyone who loves pulp.

The only thing I'm going to add to this is that the characters in S&S books tend to be the best at what they do, which allows them to then do exactly what it is they do.

Players can tend to think a bit more about situations because they don't want their characters to die. BoL is perfect because it allows players to be over the top and still have their characters live to tell the tale. My experience has been that, once players have got a couple of BoL combat sessions under their belt, they quickly adopt the S&S "stab first ask questions later" mindset and the games move along at a rapid pace.

FWIW, I've found Crimson Blades to be an excellent S&S OSR system (I use the d20 version) and when running my Thieve's Guild campaign the players do not overthink their decision making either.

I'm pretty happy with the rules as written TBH. One thing I did implement in my games a while back is combat specialisations. Basically, I grouped melee and ranged weapons. As characters gain points in melee and ranged combat they choose a group of weapons they are skilled with. If they use weapons they are not skilled with they can either suffer -2 or a disadvantage (GM choice).

I also use And/But dice in the games to add extra elements to combat.

Regarding magic, someone shared a document listing a massive amount of spells for BoL. I know I still have it on one of my HDDs somewhere. Message me if you'd like a copy.

Greetings, this is where we meet. » Hello again » 3/07/2026 2:29 pm

Wow! I can't believe how long it's been since I was last on these forums. Well, I'm back now and I just want to say hi to everyone.

It's been a while since I've visited the forums and I have to say, these are excellent. These will work particularly well in Honor + Intrigue games. Great job!

Just to add to this thread (now that I know what Big Purple is LOL), I occasionally visit the site to read threads about some games or gaming ideas, but I don't think I've actually ever posted there.

Honestly, as someone who previously backed the failed Carrion Lands Backerkit, and someone who downloaded the early version from DriveThru, and someone who has backed other Gallant Knight projects such as Zorro and D6 2nd Ed, it really would've been nice to have received an email about the KS. Loyalty does go both ways.

I'm venting of course, because there is no way to contact GKG directly from their website.

How did I not get a notification of the Carrion Lands KS? I've backed this and most things by Gallant Knight Games, and the one time I go away on vacation I miss the KS

Gruntfuttock keeps mentioning Big Purple in his posts but, for the life of me, I can't figure out what that is. Can someone please shed some light and maybe post a link?
