In the rules department, you can look at http://www.4chan.org/rules - all global and board specific rules are in full effect. Apart from that, only two rules are important.
1. BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER. 2. PARTY ON, DUDES. (AND DUDETTES)
>>92630563 It does matter. A good primer directly correlates to how well it handles knicking and scratching and rubbing because it forms a stronger bond with the surface material. You can literally rub off some acrylic primers with your fingers. Lacquer primers you have to actually be trying to take it off nails and the like won't even scratch it. Granted this isn't as important for tiny minis because there's just so little surface area. But for bigger models this does matter.
>>92630563 Rattlecan undercoats, at least the GW ones I've used, go off really easily. So you have to be careful when handling a mini which in itself is an argument to use primers instead
>>92630614 I play with metal miniatures primed with stynelrez and vallejo surface primer under 2 coats of gloss and a coat of matte. It's very hard to remove the primer without digging my nail in. I use lacquer on plastic and resin in the form of mr surfacer 1500, yes it is a harder and better finish; it also doesn't adhere well at all and has given me worse exprience. I've used cans, airbrush primers of all kinds and this shit genuinely does not matter unless you are retarded, acrylic primers get significantly stronger after sitting for a day and are fine enough for miniatures, especially plastic.
will never stop being funny that actually skilled painters are like "yeah just use whichever it doesn't matter much" but consoomerbrain retards on wip that cannot stop buying every single product that comes out need to pretend you need an extremely specific primer or your miniature will look awful and be ruined forever

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to TSR-era D&D, derived systems, and compatible content.
Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons as played in the game's first decade—less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching meta-plots 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.
>>92627852 >>92627931 In The Strategic Review, I forget which issue, Gary writes about why, A, the spear in Chainmail kind of sucks and, B, why "polearm" in OD&D was a single entry when there were many polearm variants with special purposes in history. Apparently, HEMA nerds in the 1970s wrote to him whining about it sufficiently for him to write a rebuttal.
It makes me wonder if the famous "polearm table" is an underhanded gratification of those nerds: a curse to give them exactly what they want - "Not satisfied with an abstraction? Here! ALL the polearms! Bathe in the complexity!"
>>92619024 You can be functionally illiterate and still be able to understand a stop sign. Think about your average weeabo's ability to read japanese. Still might pick up the meaning by context.
3. Struggles to write ANYTHING. Can count to potato.
6-8 Could make a stop sign that others could understand. Can figure out which tavern to go into with a nameplate alone.
>>92629162 I have done this - if I were to offer any advice: in an OSR backdrop, make sure there is a "town" they can get to relatively easily. The way OSR mechanics work, you kind of need one - B4 might serve as inspiration.
>>92630287 Are you sure? I've always been under the impression "HEMA" was an umbrella term for the study and recreation of historical European martial arts - not a specific organization: if it is an organization, I will stand corrected - the SCA was founded in 1966, so I could amend the statement to "SCA nerds."

Olm-men Edition
>What is this? /TG/ DEVELOPED A GAME IT IS PLAYABLE. IT HAS BEEN PLAYED. EXPEDITION is a ~1870s era, Jules Verne-inspired retro-futurist, underground blood soaked adventurescape. It is a Skirmish wargame. Two players with their own expeditions, on a hexgrid map, fight each other for victory. A campaign mode is planned, and currently in the works. (you) are encouraged to contribute.
3 versions of the rules exist, TWO of which have been playtested. The main one is 2e, to be found : > https://app.mediafire.com/us7vnek39dc6k as with maps, tokens and lore ressources.

>>92630241 >As the war stagnates, both sides began using voodoo rituals to increase their numbers. Many armies have voodoo zombies on them (though they are not fit for modern combat, they are either mindless melee soldiers who slowly walk towards the enemy soaking bullets, or they are used to carry materials across the island). As the world is too fixed with the Napoleonic wars in Europe, and as the zombies are too few in number to be meaningful, they are ignored by the outside world. >The polish population, seeing that the war is bleeding an already wounded nation, offers to serve as intermediaries for peace negotiations, but they are ignored by the leadership of both. Seeing this, the polish get closer to voodoo priests and practitioners in search of a solution. They manage to become a third option in the civil war, though they do not partake in the fight. The Church of Vodoo begins growing in popularity, begins streamlining voodoo rituals and mixing it with catholic customs, some of the heroes of the Haitian Revolution become canonized as saints. >1810. The mysterious death of both Alexandre Petion and Henri Christophe during the same night grinds the civil war to a bloody halt. Their bodies appear to have a mark in the shape of a fly on their necks, rumors begin to spread that the spirit of François Mackandal had returned to the land and punished both leaders due to their ambitions. >As both sides of the civil war began infighting, the Church of Voodoo appears and begins preaching for the end of the war. Peacefully at first, but as the Church of Voodoo begins gaining more influence in society, they can use more force to pacify the island.
>>92630243 >1813. The Church of Voodoo wins the civil war, the nation is renamed as the Holy Empire of Haiti. The nation is ruled by a council of voodoo priests, the Holy Council, which begins trying to fix the nation’s economy. The figure of the Emperor is a mysterious man who never appears in public but it’s said to have the wisdom and power to keep Haiti free and prosperous. In reality, the emperor is just a zombie of one of the original voodoo priests from the Church of Voodoo. >Many polish try to go back to their home during the years after the war, and they are all universally rejected, both as traitors during the war and as practitioners of heresy and witchcraft. This sentiment will strengthen as Catholicism in Europe becomes more belligerent due to the crisis with the Papacy. Only a few radicals wanting to revive the Duchy of Varsaw give them the time of day, and even then, they are looked down as shameful savages. >The Church of Voodoo is seen by the rest of the world as a dangerous cult, and unanimously isolate Haiti, not even offering recognition in exchange for money as per real world timeline. The US is especially harsh on them, as many of the slaver-owning states vote to blockade the island to prevent it from spreading its religion (and the idea of a successful slave revolt) outside of Haiti. This blockade last until the beginning of the US Civil War. >The eastern side of the island begins rejecting voodoo and the Haitian rule, and begin a war of independence. Between 1822 to 1844, the population of Santo Domingo fights against the Haitians with help from Britain, the US and Spain. In 1844, they become independent, causing great turmoil in Haiti.
>>92630248 -With Haiti completely isolated from the rest of the world, an economy in tatters, unable to trade for basic supplies and defeated against their neighbors, Haiti grows poorer and poorer, with many violent mutinies and revolts needed to be suppressed. Hunger is the common state of the island, and the Church of Voodoo is running out of options. Half of the Holy Council begins to seek people with knowledge of agarthan sorcery to seek mystical solutions to the growing poverty and misery. The other half begins preaching that the only solution for the survival of the Holy Empire is the return to Mother Africa. -The preaching of a return to Africa becomes more and more strident, and with the start of the US Civil War, the slacking blockade allows multiple Haitian boats to sail into Africa, to seek a new start in Africa. Multiple Haitian settlements are created, but fights with the local population limit their growth, being just coast outposts and nothing more. -The Church of Haiti is also used by the Union during the Civil War to weaken the southern states, with Union ships and contrabandists sending voodoo priests into the southern states to spread rebellion and dissent between the slaves and the black population. This was heavily suppressed by the Confederacy, but the New Orleans Uprising caused shockwaves into confederate-controlled America. Once the Union wins the Civil War, however, they quickly begin persecuting the Church of Voodoo, as they see its growing influence in the south as fuel for further tensions.
>>92630256 >After the Panama War and the birth of PACT, Haiti is forced to sign the treaty, which in Haiti’s case includes a much stricter control over them. In fact, the US will establish a permanent outpost in La Hispaniola, from which a series of military police units will keep vigilance over Haiti’s affairs. After a failed rebellion and the murder of the US ambassador, the US officially takes over Haiti with the blessing of Britain and France, since they feared the spread of the Church of Voodoo into their Caribbean territories. The Holy Empire of Haiti is dissolved into the Republic of Haiti, with most of the Holy Council detained and/or executed. >The US’ control over Haiti cuts off the ties between Haiti and their African outposts, which are left to fend for themselves. The western powers take a long time to take action against them, since agarthan affairs have left Africa in the background. Many priests of the Church of Voodoo go underground, while others try to create their own little fiefdoms in Africa, and some others begin preaching for the union of all Africans against the white devils.

>>92630415 >bootleg knock off I don't think this really applies to any of the Warcry warbands, does it? None of them are the cheap off-brand version of their parent faction, they're just a more specialized/specific group from that wider faction. Like the Wildercorps guys are an actual part of the armies of the Cities of Sigmar, they're the rangers that scout things out ahead of the main force.

Sacrifice a portion of the population to the obelisk and be saved >Desperate they do it and a wave of jade energy rings out like a bell, everyone is in agony as their flesh and muscles transmute to something closer to jade >From young to old everyone is as strong as a Kroxigor and they march to war and destroy the demon army >The twist, of course, is "The Speaker in the Stone" is the greatest demon of of tzeentch, sealed in the jade by the great old ones in the days before WHFB and now everyone is starting to crack and crumble. They don jade masks to stop their faces turning to dust >The only way to stay whole is more sacrifices and the entity drives them to seek out and tear down all Seraphon works and erect more jade obelisks in their place that shit out more Idolarcs the speaker can use as its eyes, ears and mouths and can also see things like chameleon skinks to alert the priests and desecrators on the hunt. >They are driven into the gnarlwood to destroy a statue hosting the soul of an ancient slann >Beastmen and all sorts of mutant creatures of chaos follow them, hypnotised by the ringing of the jade and the lure of the speaker of the stone >Now a people reborn as a grand cult known as "The Masons of the Jade Obelisk" spread more jade obelisks like anti-blackstone radiating out from their capital city of
Meanwhile tzeentch in aos is just losers in bird masks that look like bootleg slaanesh cultists that just love magic because reasons lmao.
>>92599729 I wouldn't go too heavy into bonepickers, maybe have 3-4. They're great for the price but you need gangers in order to get some range. Autoguns/autopoles are great for getting some pinning in, and too many blunderpoles is seen as a dick move. I wouldn't go for more than two or three in a given list. But good luck with objectively the best house, and I am not biased.
>>92614716 They're definitely exaggerating, the have mounts which are pretty good, and if they're playing in an Ash Waste campaign/scenario, they get access to cool abilities. They do lose a lot in 'in-hive" games, but they're far from being terrible in my eyes.
>>92630507 Autopole is pure trash, 2 slot and now you can't take buss or a 2 weapons for CC loadout anymore. The pole was never the reason people take it, it's the cheap flamer and only gang in the game that can effectively use flamer weapon. Want a pole with autogun? Grab a pistol + autogun, it's even cheaper.

>>92630536 To my knowledge, no. Closest are some charms that can speed up the travel speed of a group who's magnitude scales with some trait or another, or a few gate style artifacts that are described in the text as big enough for that use, but have no mechanics for how much throughput they'd have other than the ST going "I guess that sounds reasonable"
>>92630569 It's a problem when the best point of reference for how powerful something should be only exists in Grabowski's head and not in the mechanics given for it
