One issue that people can have with LotFP/OSR games is high
character turnover. Sometimes the module is too deadly, the players too green,
the GM too evil.
(We burned though 30 characters or so in The Grinding Gear.)
Here is one solution for this, lifted directly from Dungeon Crawl Classics.
Have players create four 0-Level characters each instead of one 1st
level character.
1) Hand the player four index cards and have them write down the
six abilities, along with "hit points,” “attack,” “gear,” and
"armor." (I also use “Luck.”)
2) They roll 3d6 straight down the line for each ability. (If
using Luck, have them average their scores and write this down.)
3) Roll 1d6 for Hit Points, modified by CON.
4) Armor is 12, modified by DEX.
5) Attack is +0, modified by STR.
6) They should generate a starting background. Alternate Occupations is a cheap and great way to do this, especially since there's a table for "human only" characters.
7) Determine damage for their weapons (just find an equivalent weapon from the
item list).
8) When making skill checks, they can assume 1 point in the skill
if it relates to their profession, otherwise it's 0.
9) Name the character.
You can use this method...
-to start off a campaign
-after a TPK (to continue in the current adventure)
-if a new player is joining a group in the middle of an adventure
-if a character has died and you want to get the player back in the game as quick as possible
-to give the player four choices of characters, they can then choose one to level up and the others can be retainers
RE: LUCK
Using the method above, I have players average their ability scores to determine their starting Luck score. This gives them a sense of how good their character is (10.5 is the average).
During play, they can permanently burn a luck point to re-roll any roll they just made. I also use Luck for all sorts of hazard checks - if they want to try something risky, saving throws that don't fall in the other categories, what happens during the night while asleep, etc. They must roll equal to or less than their luck to avoid the hazard.
This means that the more they burn luck to re-roll, the higher the chance they will suffer future hazards.
After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don’t believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or WhatsApp him +15068001647 blog: spiritualherbal.blogspot.com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything.
