Serious question. Pathfinder took all mentions of slavery out, but slaves aren't actually useful or especially profitable in most RPGs. Like, what mechanical benefit do I get from that?
>>97956363Jobs in most ttrpgs aren't profitable.take DnD and PF, no matter how good you're at a job you get almost no money. I remember investing on an inn/tavern, and after paying the workers and the product I barely got any money. It would take years for my char to recover the invesment even if I had the workers work for free (slaves).Meanwhile in a couple of sessions (like less tha a week in game) I recoverd all back.
>>98003614>There are sand cultures where marrying children and fucking them is normal and legal.And those cultures are evil for it.>Innocence is a sliding scale: Is it murder to kill a thief, is he still too innocent? Depends. What did the thief steal? >Is it murder to kill a murderer, is he still too innocent?Who did the murderer murder? The murderer being called a murderer here implies that they killed someone innocent, and killing a murderer is not murder, it is killing. >Rape was and still is in shit parts of the world just something that happens, especially in conflict. Is it evil if they're so stupid they don't realize it's bad to rape?Yes it is evil and being too stupid to understand that what you are doing is evil doesn't absolve you of the guilt. Furthermore, if you are so fucking dumb, that you do not intuitively understand that raping someone is evil, you should be shot. >Pure evil is pure evil, but trying to paint certain behaviour as black and white morality is foolish.It's not. Every single action at it's fundamental level is either good, evil or neutral. It cannot be more than one of those, therefore saying something is of grey morality only means that you have not bothered to properly categorize it because A you are lazy, B because you engage in it, or would like to engage in it yourself, and you don't want to paint yourself as evil because you lack strength of character.>Maybe orcs just consider rape of other races to be normal and good.

>>98003614Depends on the setting, in D&D objective good and evil exists irregardedless and outside of what the civilization in question thinks. Orcs can believe all they want that rape is good but is still evil
>>98016388that's just life
>>98016388>. I remember investing on an inn/tavern, and after paying the workers and the product I barely got any moneyIf you're getting money back at the start, you're doing alright. Usually these kinds of business operate at a loss until they've built up a good reputation.
Anyone here try Stonetop? I'm not a fan of PbtA but this game has me genuinely intrigued. If only to crib this guy's 13 years of work into the game. I think the worldbuilding and items seem genuinely incredible.

>>98015644Is there anything about the gameplay that stands out? Or do you recommend it as a worldbuilding/idea book for other games?

We ended last session just before the final room of the dungeon where they'll find this.The eye is it's own thing, but the reliquary can be used to contact the dead for a 5 minute conversation. 2 of the PCs have dead family members, so I'm excited to see how it goes.

>>98016757I've heard Ryuutama is a great system for exploration due to the game focusing on mundane people going on travels.
What was the point of no return for this? Was it The Forge? Was it Critical Roll? Was it Roll20? Was it Amber Diceless? I really am just curious where this "change" really came from.

GW doesn't seem to be very good at writing fun rules every edition so anons here say.So what are some well written and fun wargames where 40k minis can be easily reused?
>>98016443I was asking because the game system changed quite a bit in later editions, I play older editions myself, so I was wondering if you were referring to 3rd or the one that changed the formula...I think it was 8th?Because having 8th ed being based on an old alternative ruleset would have surprised me.
>>98016354Priestly hasn't designed 40k for decades.
>>98016467I think it was 8th you're referring to, yes. And you're right, that was a BIG shake-up, more than I've credited it for, on reflection.
>>98016354He was making an igougo WWII ruleset? Lmao my ass off. More proof he had never had a fucking clue what he was doing and 40k is luck + the efforts of others
>>98016695You are correct but that doesn’t make the other anon’s statement wrong. He left for Warlord Games a long time ago and you can tell by looking at Bolt Action that it has a very similar “vibe” to 3rd and 4th editions regarding rules.>>98016393nta, but the way I understood him is the same I’d say “modern history” to refer to the 19th century. Not RT old but not contemporary either

I've tweaked some things, but I'm still not fully satisfied with the writeup. Not as comedic as I'd like. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to pitch in.Also, who are the Veórnean Subterranean Company?-----When the Veórnean Subterranean Company began to think of a way to dislodge the local populations near the upcoming railway construction sites, no one could have predicted the series of bizarre outcome they would reach. As the upper echelons sought to save money in armed men, they cooked up a scheme to try to scare away the natives: using their local superstitions as a weapon, they took a vagrant from the streets of New Kirkwall, gave him a suit tailored in the shape of a monster, and told him to fright them away.A year after the plant went into motion, everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. The company had taken a local vagrant (the company did not even bother to register his name), a giant of a man who was seemingly clinically insane. After managing to get him to don the disguise, and told his task in exchange of whatever liquor he wanted when he returned, he was let loose. While his mad ravings managed to initially scare away some of the tribes, some others began gathering to him as a totemic figure. This quickly spiraled out of control, as the man swiftly took to the favor of the natives, and played the part of the protector spirit of the jungle. The horrified members of the Veórnean Company could only watch in horror as the Monster now gathered hundreds of not just local natives, but even managing to win the favor of multiple olm and morlock shoals, somehow making them cooperate with each other despite their seemingly eternal feud. Now, the Monster’s hordes move across the jungles. While the Veórnean Company tries to cover it up, the local authorities now wonder what is this mysterious spirit that threatens epigean interests across the layers.
>>98012372>Also, who are the Veórnean Subterranean Company?Just a French railway firm it seems. I can try to help with the writing tomorrow or later but today is surrounded on all sides by dread foes, sorry.

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.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:>n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0>Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128Comment too long.

>>98016742>>98016742No worries, I figured as much.
Well, I thought this might be the place to ask how the new reforged Adventurers Backpack cracked out for C&C (is the editing still shit/polearm chapter gone, etc), but while trying to catch up to this general I read through the older ones and uh, the tisms.So instead, where would be a good place to go ask about all the D&D clone offshoots? Don't tell me 5eg (or is it 5.5eg now?) I know they are the casualsOld D&D stuff like the AC calc from 2e I want to avoid, but more well made modern stuff I am interested in looking at. I've heard good stuff about Knave for example, but not sure where to ask about it.

Thoughts on Michael De la Maza and his approach to chess improvement? I honestly think he's spot on, and the people who hate him are just redditoids who would rather larp as positional players by reading Silman than actually put in the work and improve their tactical ability.
Sup/tg/, what non-standard races do you guys use in your campaigns?I'm thinking of running a hindu mythology campaign and making a bunch of mythological races into player races.
