Could be RaHoWa, I guess. Dunno if that's diceless or not but it has the neo-Nazi stuff down pat.

[Hanslanda]

Authenticity and immersion demand that all players play human fighting-men, 3d6 in order, no "magic" nonsense, and you have to roll to determine what permanent disabilities you have developed before the age of 21.

Minus the disability thing that might actually be kinda fun.

I've still yet to see a more entertaining character creation than that of Gamma World. Shame it's apparently a massive bitch to GM for; as being on the player side, even for the extremely short period that I got to experience it, was quite fun.

[Mephisto]

For an authentic OSR experience, you need to do 4d6 keep lowest. Having sub-10 in everything is a mark of the best kind of character, don'tcha know.

There's also Sigmata, if you want 80s-punk X-men of the left-leaning jackbooted thug variety. I'm sure it's not hipster enough, but I've heard it's very clunky.

My only experiences with Gamma World were laughing at chargen, mucking about a bit, and getting into a teamfight over literally nothing resulting in the deaths of all but one player. I'm not sure what part of it would be painful to GM.

On that note, I love their ammo system. It's so elegant: You can use a gun once per encounter without issue. If you use it twice or more, it runs out of ammo at the end of the encounter.

"Alright, weapons check... How much ammo you got left?"

"Yes."


As for GW GM'ing, supposedly it's somewhat aggravating to handle encounters and the like, and campaign-level scaling is similarly a pain. At least according to one individual's high-sodium content opinion.

Obligatory Doom movie reference.

"Half clip... You?"
*tense dramatic beat*
"One."

I personally love Feng Shui's ammo system. As long as you keep making your reload checks, your gun has an indefinitely high amount of ammo inside of it.

"Did I fire six times, or only five? Do I feel lucky?"

Anyone know of a published (web or otherwise, third party or not, any system) adventure that involves an earthquake, mining operations, plumbing, or related activity uncovering ruins, a dangerous cave system, <x> under the PCs' base of operations?

[Gentlefish]

Shackled City is a 1-20 campaign that takes place over a dormant volcano. A few adventures take place beneath.

Undermountain? Just give the PCs the bar over top of it.

[Mephisto]

I'm aware that whatever I do is going to involve lots of work on my part to integrate it into our world. We're doing this west marches thing at the moment and are based out of a somewhat recently-constructed outpost. Given the west marches thing, I'm going to hack anything I do into one session or provide lots of Skyrim-style hidden exits.

The good news, there's not really a map yet so I can do just about anything.

[Persus13]

I know there's some Adventurer's League modules (one session adventures) that involve mining. I think there's one called Oubliette in Fort Iron that takes place in a mining outpost. Might give you some ideas.

Does a lance count as one-handed for blade singers and Kenseis?

[Criptfeind]

Bladesinger: Yes, sorta. Bladesingers don't have a requirement to use a one handed weapon, their song simply stops if they use a weapon with two hands. So versatile weapons and laces are fine, so long as you don't use both hands to attack with (so with a lance you'd need to be mounted to attack and not lose the song)

Kenseis? I think probably the plural of Kensei is Kensei... Maybe. Anyway, no, they don't even have a requirement to use one handed weapons, but they do have a requirement to not use special weapons, like the lance (or heavy weapons, like all the proper two handed, but they can still two hand the versatile weapons).
