Delving Deeper House Rules in Progress

I'm really falling in love with Delving Deeper. As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm planning use if for the next campaign I run after Ephemera (and heck, I might even try to convince the guys to switch over to it while we're still playing in Ephemera).

+Adam Muszkiewicz has been writing a really interesting set of posts at Dispatches from Kickassistan as part of a "Delving Deeper Week." You can read his posts

here (from day 3)
and here (from day 4)

His fourth-day post discusses house-ruling Delving Deeper. At the end he asks what kinds of house rules people have been writing for their own games. Since I'm already working on my house-rule sheet for DD, I thought I'd go ahead and post what I have so far here (still a work in progress):



The use of Target 20 for Combat and Saves
was inspired by their use in Delta's house rules

My Delving Deeper Print Copy Has Arrived!

I'm a big fan of early-edition clones. I like their low page-count, and all the vast room they leave for rulings rather than rules. I don't think I've met an early edition clone I didn't like. Right now, Immersive Ink's Delving Deeper is at the top of my list, and I plan to use it the next time I start a new campaign.


It's not so different in content from other clones. But it has (IMO) the tightest, most intuitive organization of all the early-edition clones. It also fits into my personal "sweet spot" of being rules-light, while also having just enough rules on things I want to have already ruled for me, while leaving out what I don't need.

Granted, that's all a question of personal taste, and it may not be your cup of tea. But if you aren't already familiar with Delving Deeper, you might want to give the rules a look. The free reference rule pdfs are available at the Immersive Ink Forum. The $4.78 print version is available at Lulu.
