Because fuck you.
How would one go about in making combat in a very low magic setting (like ASoIaF or LOTR) fun? I'm thinking about starting a world like that, but without healers and mages to switch-up terrain or crazy gnome gadgets it seems like combat might get too boring. Perhaps I should make combat really challenging and unforgiving so that my players would avoid it (like any person would do if their universe didn't have healers or priests that would ressurrect you)?
Play Strike! with no magic and tactical grid combat.
>>47689641
Play something other than DnD.
>>47689641
Introduce primitive guns.
What's up, /tg/? I come to you asking for advice.
I DMed a campaign of a homebrew world using Pathfinder that was a lot of work. It took a lot of my time because as a proper user of Mathfinder I always was writing systems and working hard on creating a reactive word where every character they met had their own life going on and after each session I would track their life and write everything that happened on a little diary. All in all, it was really tiresome to keep track of everything and for everything to be decided by dice and numbers because of Mathfinder. So I got burned out and quit DMing and the table died.
Today, I watched a video on Tolkien's use of magic and thought "hey, a low-magic world where magic is something actually rule breaking and mysterious would be pretty cool" and started to feel like DMing again, but as I remembered the amount of work that I had last time the hype kinda died down. However, there must be an alternative. What do you guys suggest that I do? Should I just give up DMing because it's always hard work or should I try another system, another way of DMing, I dunno.
>>47689073
Just try another system. Pathfinder (if you're using all the material anyway) at this point is one of the most bloated and complicated systems out there. I promise if you switch to something lighter you will enjoy running games for your group again. I don't know how rules-light you would be comfortable with, but Savage Worlds, FATE, a few others are good options. GURPS is technically simple, but mostly just in terms of mechanics. It's got an assload of material just like Pathfinder.
WHFRP 2e sounds like just the ticket for you, though magic is straight up dangerous there, so perhaps not. If you absolutely must have d20 and OGL material, just use Fantasy Craft and heavily restrict access to overtly magical things. I'd advocate banning the mage and maybe priest, if only for the first part of the game.
Just don't let the spirit in you die out OP. It's a tough flame to kindle, and you should keep it burning at all costs.

How about using D&D 5e and just cutting out the magic? I heard it's quite simplified.
>>47689073
Pretty much do this, OP >>47689208. 5e is nothing like the nightmare that is Pathfinder.
Hey guys, im a former WTA and Vampire player, but recently me and my friends are wanting to try a new setting, we chose the post-apocalyptic one, but i got no ideas to make a fun campaign, any tips ?
>>47688745
Just one
>>47688745
I suggest looking at Tiberian wars, Fallout and Mad Max as inspiration, maybe even STALKER
>>47688745
Maybe this can help you OP?

What advice have you for this poor soul?
>>47688415
enter void
>>47688415
Start floating - see what things look like from above.

Look out for land sharks that might emerge suddenly from the fertile ground.
