I don't really think this is a hot take, but I don't think it's THAT big of an issue here specifically. there are always people who call out grainy primer, or visible moldlines (and of course thick paints). And we do that definitely more than the other communities I'm in. Granted most other communities barely even comment on anything specific.
I think I agree with the sentiment in general though but not in the way that you mean. I think people in mini painting ignore normal art fundamentals more than they ignore mini painting fundamentals, which are pretty quick to learn. The fact that you can rely on the physical model to inform a lot of your artistic decisions regarding light and shading takes the load off your brain but you then aren't training those mental muscles either. People go on about OSL and NMM in mini painting like they're advanced techniques, but that's just called 'regular painting' in the art world and anyone who can paint an even remotely passable painting can do it.
By no means do I think everyone needs to try and become a professional artist to enjoy the hobby, but most mini painters are just paint-by-numbers-ing.

How much would/should changing the default setting from High Medieval to Late Bronze Age change the game?

For example, lowering AC across the board to simulate the lack of general armour. How much would that affect balance?
8 replies and 1 image omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>97350722
AC and HP are ways to calculate unquantifiable concepts like the chance to be hit by a weapon in combat and to what degree it hurts you.
For the sake of the game, you do not have to adapt DnD crunch logic and make it so people simply get hit more in combat and have to work around that. It is worth noting that throughout the overwhelming majority of combatants throughout human history from the bronze age to now fought with little to no metal armor.

Pick a system that fits. I'm using Worlds w/o Number for mine. Then change the names on things but otherwise leave them alone. I want high lethality and more open and mystical magic, so WWN works well, for me. If you're doing D&D, then just rename things and take out things that make no sense.

Don't try to refigure the entire system to suit a setting change. It's a pain in the ass. Just look at Dark Sun. It contributes nothing.

Ah, so I’m guessing that once you get down into the triple digits it just straight up becomes the back rooms.

> Unless they count the layers from the surface?
You know what? I’m not sure. I keep getting conflicting information about if level 0 is the “true” surface, and the levels then start counting up to denote sub levels. Or if they’ve done away with all that and just made level 0 the planetary mantle or core. Thus subtly accepting that the planet’s entire surface and crust is urban sprawl all the way down.

I mean, Wookepedia is saying that Coruscant is no longer capable of sustaining life on its own and needs all manner of infrastructure to keep it habitable.

What is the counterculture of 2020s, that could be used as the basis for a contemporary countercultural tabletop game?

Take the World of Darkness for example, which was so grounded in the the counterculture of the 90s that it comes across as dated and strange today. How would you update the World of Darkness so that it better represents the counterculture of today?

The townsfolk couldn't have cared less about Lancel's wild rants, and those who had encountered him and his soldiers were relieved at the prospect of his imminent departure. However, there was a crucial piece of information they were yet unaware of.

The moment the other healers took Lancel into their care, Andris hurried to the town hall, seeking an urgent audience with the Lord Magistrate himself. Under normal circumstances, she would have been denied entry or made to wait, but the magistrate granted her request. She then recounted everything she had witnessed: the bandits, or more likely mercenaries, and how effortlessly they had massacred both Lancel's troopers and Brays. Most importantly, she spoke of the sentient lycanthrope who appeared to be the leader of these mercenaries. This detail greatly alarmed the magistrate. Earlier that day, he had received a message from the academy stating that wizards had detected a faint presence of unexplained dark magic within the forest, as if caused by some cursed entity. Now they knew what they were up against, but a werewolf remained a formidable enemy that should not be underestimated. After the meeting, the lord pondered his next move against the intruders.

Not so much normal humans (they're not native to Athas) as it is all sentient mortal life on Athas. The world isn't doomed so much as it's on life support, and the only ones that could free it from said life support is the sorcerer tyrants since most of their magic draws directly from the life force of the world and the sun. It's why Bug V repeatedly emphasizes a lack of understanding why anyone would be fighting this hard for a world that is dying due to their lack of foresight and greed, since with the tyrants' magic outright killing the planet, all their squabbling and fighting against any attempts to overthrow their rule is essentially the equivalent of two hobos fighting off a wave of rats for the privilege of beating each other to death over a can of expired baked beans, neither having yet realized that they don't have a can opener between either of them.

Basically, as Dim Sun presents it, Athas is not a world that would go out with a bang, just with one final impotent whimper, as long as people like Xy-Koon continue to abuse their power, useful idiots like DS!Belkar and DS!Red Templar and DS!Oona actively aid them in ruining other's lives for no point, and beings like DS!Varsuuvius ultimately refuse to use their power to help fix the world due to how little it personally affects them.

I remember a game I played ~20 years ago, either 6th or 7th edition with my idiot friends. I had Tomb Kings and my friend had recently built a Clan Eshin list from the Storm of Chaos book. It was literally all Skirmishers, nothing but 5-man Runner units and the occasional assassin.
So I charged him with a unit of 3 Chariots and proceeded to chain Impact-Overrun through almost his entire army.
Fuck Skirmishers.

what do you mean, greenskins and Warriors of Chaos have no skirmishers and Vampire Counts only have Ghouls, and those three armies are the most popular evil factions
>>
>>97349665
>>97350156
I think Mark of Khorne is better the more of it that you have, which the anon in question does (3 units). My philosophy is that if you have one unit that can be frenzy baited the enemy can easily play that against you, but if everyone has frenzy then it becomes harder for them to create a formation where baiting the frenzied unit is beneficial to them. Either go big or go home.

Nigga what. They have arguably one of the best skirmishers in the game (squig hoppers). Wolf Riders also have skirmish and aren't really killy but extremely annoying to deal with with Fire & Flee + Feigned Flight.

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere. And as we enter this happiest and newest of years, remember: 2e was never an old-school game, bait is for reporting, and fish is for smoking! Happy new year, grogs!

Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency.

If you are new to the OSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread that you can check for help:

Everything that isn't a human or demi-human.
No gnomes elves dwarves etc, but goblins, hobgoblins, ogres, basically everything that isn't a normal character.

All of them have dark vision 60 unless noted otherwise, and light approaching from the darkness always spoils surprise.
Imagine you're sitting in the woods with a flashlight, you will see them from a long ways away. Similarly light sources can be seen from around the corner when they get within light distance, and if close enough light can be detected around two corners.

Keep in mind that closed doors are how the party will gain surprise, somebody listens at the door, here's monsters, you kick open the door, and you have your normal chance for surprise.

Honestly it is probably the edgiest game from a metacultural perspective. Paganism/Nazism is/are probably the most taboo stance(s) of the past millennia in Europe and its colonies. No other worldview has had such vast resources dedicated to its suppression.

The only difference is art style. Most of his examples are drawn stylized and simplified. Like most of those have no detailed fur details and their faces are stylized and simplified which are the only saving grace from the style looking uncanny. In reality those designs are like the cats movie.

>>97347749
The Navi don’t fit those other examples since they lack fur. Honestly the Navi barely look cat like, they have blue skin, their ears aren’t cat like and they have flat human noses. The thing that helps a lot in the other examples is not being depicted in a realistic artstyle. If youre doing a human face Felicia style Kemomimi is the most you can go without it looking weird.

I think the issue is deeper than that, although the slight change there helps, the way they were made to move and act combined with the scale of the world clearly was meant for them being more so either literal cats, or very slightly cartoony cats, and even if they were full furries it would look wrong.
