Do you include seasonal changes in your campaigns when time goes by?If so, what do you implement int the world to showcase the changing seasons?I personally include sea raiders who begin assaults on the kingdom's shores in spring and through summer, who then return to their homeland in fall to winter it out. So essentially a raiding season for my world's vikings, like in real history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWc0DvoY6qw
>>97304693>or the handful of 5e sessions you keep repeating with random strangers on the internetYou're being VERY generous to Wilbur. I think it's clear now he's never played a game, his spite comes from his inability to join in (also why he hates other nogames, because they at least can participate in worldbuilding, which he is incapable of due to lack of creativity).
>>97276332One bit of worldbuilding I've always liked was in ASOIAF where summer can last for years, so there's a nearly constant planting and harvest, but the longer the summer, the longer the inevitable winter will be.
>>97276413this prick got absolutely bodied
>>97276413this is what a wilbur is?
>>97311410Gotta wonder how the fuck that functions.
White Wolf died. But where's the replacements? DnD has hundreds of clones. But where are all the vampire/mage/werewolf clones? Is because DnD is more generic and easier to copy?
>>97314274>People just don’t seem to care about WoD anymoreI have interest in the rules and the surface level lore but the more I learn about the deep lore the more I hate it
>>97311197>Urban fantasySome decent attempts at it with Curseborne, Monster of the week, or that other one, but they're kind of limp and defanged compared to WoD. It's sort of a question of truly edgy shit not really being in vogue with writers for fear of offending, as well as what other anons have put on, the subculture just isn't really there to produce or appreciate those games and all the "based wellread autists" are either polposting elsewhere, making indie games, or don't like TTRPGs.
>>97318855The deep lore (at least the fun insane bits) are probably some of the better parts of the setting but yeah it's best not to delve to deep. I just accept WoD is too weird for your average DnD (especially 5E introductory) players to really get into.
>>97316694If you think about what WoD offers and what a successor to WoD the same way Pathfinder was a successor (and competitor) to DnD would have to offer, there is no way to reasonably excuse dropping that amount of capital in an investment unless it's a fantasy universe. In the Urban Fantasy space, WoD has lore and more of a roleplay focus kind of covered for a lot of the popular supernatural monsters in a relatively edgy and interesting world. Anything trying to be a successor to WoD would need>Strong alt-history focus with cool lore connections>some degree of edge so that it doesn't feel watered down>combat that isn't designed to be over as fast as possibleWhen you consider the potential market as well as the requirements to actually bother doing that you can see why Paradox was just interested in WoD to produce games with a good cost to profit ratio or passive income from passionate autists.
>>97311197>Is it because DnD is more generic and easier to copy?It might be, honestly.The bulk of dnd fluff is generic and shallow so you can copy it or replace it in another game easily, typical fantastic races, nondescript gods, standard magic. You can replace teiflings and warforged with demonettos and crab-people and you're golden.WoD starts with generic ideas but then goes deep. Clans, factions, politics, histories. WW loved to write, even when they were writing garbage, they loved writing it, and anyone trying to beat them at their own game has to play that part of it too.You also have to avoid getting sued while you do it.I feel like anyone on this board could grab an SRD off itch and mockup a half dozen monster games with a shared urban fantasy setting and theoretical interoperability, but if you're not going to write like you're a tweenage girl with nothing better to do then you're already at a crippling disadvantage.

>>97320609They make more money now than they ever did before. A set flops. Who cares? It's just cardboard. Printing this stuff costs them almost nothing. The set after that is a huge success again. They won't abandon their ways. They will run this sucker into the ground.

>>97299020cry, faggot commie, cry.
>>97299371that hitler quote is such a self own lmao
>>97299020Is it really an invasion if you're not occupying any of their territory and just surgically removing few disagreeable individuals from power?
>>97320471yes, so long as they are identifiably wearing an obvious uniform.the very moment your fighters wear civilian clothes and shit, trying to hide within the ranks of the populace, you lose ALL legal protections.this is why if a spy gets caught, you can do fucking anything you want to them. they have zero protections.
>>97320590I guess that hangs on what constitutes "an obvious uniform", paramilitaries that have been preparing for the happening will probably have their khakis, anthem, and coat of arms, but militia formed on short notice will probably just wear their regular clothes, maybe with headbands or armbands in a matching color, maybe not even that.

Has Cthulhu or any other Lovecraft creation ever been mentioned in 40K? I remember someone saying something like he was mentioned as a Warp God or something a long time ago but I've never been able to find lore confirming that and its been so long I can't remember who told me that. But given that there was an inquisitor named "Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau" in early lore I would not be surprised if something from Lovecraft was mentioned in an older book or whatever. Anyone know if its true?

>>97315863>>97315901I don't think it's a problem that the Deathlords are rational and pragmatic enough to understand that not treating their most valuable assets, who do have free will and the ability to fuck off and do their own thing, like complete garbage might be a good idea. They should be insane and monstrous, sure, but they do need to be more or less lucid to be credible threats. I do agree that they should still stick to their obsessions and that Bishop for instance, probably should semi-randomly start preaching the Shining Way and fly into a rage if people talk shit about it. Fully agree with your point 2, though. Deathlords may not need full-on 2E-level edge but they do need a fair amount of it. >>97315934I think that, with there being nine canon Deathlords, it's fine for them to be a varied bunch, with some believing in what they're preaching and some being opportunists. >>97316288Deathlords aren't particularly dissonant in 1E or 2E. They're unambiguously evil, and consistently so. They're somewhat dissonant in 3E because 3E is afraid of getting edgy and Deathlords don't really work without edge.
>>97320297>Deathlords aren't particularly dissonant in 1E or 2E. They're unambiguously evil, and consistently so.In 1e/2e, the dissonance was because they wanted them to be Sauron/Taken to PCs frodos, despite the PCs being personally far stronger than frodo or the avarage member of the black company.
>>97320387And Deathlords were stronger yet, and Monstrances were a thing, and Resonance pushed Abyssals into their intended roles, and at either rate Abyssals sure as fuck weren't supposed to be Frodos to Sauron - a comparison that makes no sense either powerlevel-wise or in terms of the intended dynamics - so much as, I dunno, the Ringwraiths were to Sauron. None of that is dissonant, anon. A lot of that may be bad and make playing Abyssals unfun, but it's not thematically or tonally dissonant, or internally inconsistent, or anything like that.
>>97320448Oh, sorry, I meant pcs in general.>A lot of that may be bad and make playing Abyssals unfun, but it's not thematically or tonally dissonant, or internally inconsistent, or anything like that.The dissonance is how big a deal an exalted is, Abyssal's powers are around the level of the "world shaking" solars, but the devs made them into disposable minions.
>>97320533>Abyssal's powers are around the level of the "world shaking" solars, but the devs made them into disposable minions.They really didn't.

>>97319532I went looking for this myself; best I found in a gameplay context for a big fat list of alchemy was:- Darklands has a bunch of alchemy because its "wizards" are alchemists- Pathfinder has an Alchemist class, 1e Pathfinder was 3.x bloatware so there's a whole lot of potions there.Maybe there's some alchemical equivalent of the Picatrix, idk.>>97315399Wonderfags are brain-fried by Nasushit. People in the past thought magic had lots of rules, whenever they were making up reasons it failed (other than it not being real), it was always either you did it wrong or a malicious spirit fucked it up.
>>97320394It makes me wonder if in a mafic setting magic would be treated or recognized as magic at all but classified as another branch of science. Isaac Newton was very much into occult and alchemy besides science.
>>97320422We just call "magic" everything that didn't work, like we call "traditional medicine" everything that doesn't work. People in the past frequently divided up "technique for manipulating the supernatural" into many, many sub-categories: black magic, astrology, alchemy, haruspexy, acupuncture, necromancy, pyromancy (the practice of reading the future via flames), etc.When you specify something more like, "specifically chanting and waving your hands around," sure, in the same way we think of computer programming or swordplay as specific fields.
>>97320481the problem with that is that "traditional medicine" did generally work since most modern medicines are just refined forms of the plants and concoctions used by apothecaries
True, academic medicine (allopathic or "school" medicine) focused on identifying specific pathogens and mechanical causes, it often overlooked the broader human context of illness. In the mid-1800s, Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis discovered that mothers were dying of "childbed fever" because doctors weren't washing their hands. When he presented this to the academic elite, they mocked him and forced him into an asylum. The academic blind spot wasn't just a lack of knowledge; it was hubris. Folk medicine, which relied on observation ("When I wash with wine, they live; when I don't, they die"), was often more scientific than the "science" of the time.Penicillin is the perfect example of this. When Alexander Fleming "discovered" it in 1928, he wasn't finding something unknown to humanity, he was finally quantifying a phenomenon that folk medicine had used for thousands of years. For centuries, "folk" practitioners used specific moldy substances to treat infections, while academic doctors often dismissed these as "superstitious" or "unsanitary."On the other hand. Academy-trained surgeons would move directly from performing an autopsy on a diseased corpse to delivering a baby without washing their hands. They took pride in their blood-stiffened surgical gowns as "badges of experience."Midwives and folk healers often had ritualistic cleaning practices. In many traditions, water was "blessed" or infused with herbs (like lavender or rosemary) before washing. While they didn't know about "germs," they respected the idea of ritual purity, which effectively meant they were cleaner than the university-trained doctors. Folk healers used wine, vinegar, and beer to wash woundsBy the 18th century, "modern" medicine had actually regressed. They stopped using these "primitive" washes in favor of dry lint or even "laudable pus", the horrific academic belief that thick yellow pus was a sign of a wound healing well.
This is a general for OSR, seperate from /osrg/, where you CAN talk about AD&D 2e, retroclones & other general OSR. This general exists (and is seperate from /osrg/) due to trolling on /osrg/ making discussion impossible.Previous thread>>97301927Thread Question: Favorite type of Fiend?

I've spent the last year, studying, and designing a custom Arthurian set, originally intended to be based on Le Morte d'Arthur (like how P3k was based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms). However, as I continued to study, and look into different (and some obscure sources) this turned into a much more wider net. This set, which is no where near finished includes>Welsh Triads and The Magnibong>Pre-Vulgate Arthur traditions>Vulgate/Post Vulgate/Lancelot cycles>some English/Welsh fairy tales>and even a bit of the Victorian Arthurian revival (especially for art). I avoided the Italian and German romances entirely, and tried not to include weird outliners except when needed. Outside of art, nothing is sourced from the 20th century or onward. Also all art is public domain. I'm mainly posting here for feedback. Some will be art recommendations, flavor text (especially sourced) will be always welcomed.Comment too long.
