I mean it’s telling that the “evergreen” modern orc culture is appealing to the modern and beaten down guy, beyond “green muscles and tits”>tradition>hyper-loyal>equal>cut off from materialistic and vapid problems of the modern world >be strong and that’s enough It’s why most would overlook the butterface, savagery, tusks and primitive trappings of orc chicks. Because it’s the opposite of the modern bullshit in every way

By the way, how many units from the charts actually have profiles?
>>97220071All of the units for the first three charts should. Some are jokes like the Star Ancestor. Quite a few never made it into a book so if you want any reposted please let me know.

Ever had to say fuck it this is above our paygrade, and just bail from a dungeon?I get that GM probably put some amount of effort into preparing it and skipping the place would put that to waste, but when the very first encounter makes it painfully obvious pushing on would be suicidal, nobody can really blame the party for doing literally anything else, right?

>>97186660Do you have any idea how exhausting it is to build an entire tabletop campaign around locked doors and NPC backstories? The Mario example you gave was just the plot of Jade Regent and that campaign was really good - up until it wasn’t Princess in Another Castle. The ability to feel forward momentum in the party’s travel is so important and this campaign is not about that at all, it’s going to be trying to get the Blue Key while giving a dilation sphere to a ghost that hates xer dad.

I took an extra week off on this one because the streamer in question JUST debuted (they're an alter ego of an already existing big name content creator), and so far she's only really done pre-edited videos and not really any streaming, so I wanted to see a bit of what she'd make first before finalizing the sheet. Regardless, I think it's a fitting (and shockingly deadly, mechanically) build that also fits with her design and lore video.As always, anyone who wants to see some of the other work I've done can find them here: https://x.com/DrumerThead/status/2002977609672794528

This one is banned kek. Could of sworn something similar to this existed at the start of DM.■ Reveal the top 3 cards of your deck face up. Put all Water cards from among them into your hand, and put the other cards into your graveyard.
>>97219214I think the biggest issue with the game retaining players is how harsh the transition from thinking you've almost won games into realizing that getting your opponent to 1 hp while he has 5 cards wasn't close at all.
>>97221306Unfortunately so. That only bothers me because some have really good art that I wish were in paper.

Magic should be rare, mysterious, superstitious. It should take time to use and be exhausting to cast When did fantasy magic and wizards turn in Avatar the Last Airbender shooting fire and lightning out their assholes?
>>97217677>When did fantasy magic and wizards turn in Avatar the Last Airbender shooting fire and lightning out their assholes?Well, my setting is xianxia and there's spiritual Qi literally everywhere.But in my setting, it turns eldritch quite fast and the truly powerful are alien to the mortal mind, no matter what they used to be.
>>97218699Simple enough question.
>>97217788Perhaps you should read the books where hes dropping fireballs every couple of days
>>97219181Yeah, it is quite simple.
>>97218076How about magic from belief? You have a priest who REALLY REALLY BELIEVES that he can banish a spirit, he matches his willpower against it (his belief) and if he wins, the spirit is banished. Alternively, the belief could be a resource, ie a priest, wizard of godling has to convince a big enough group of people that their magic works, allowing it to happen. It could be cast using personal methods or a set formulae, but without the belief that it will work, it doesnt.It would lead to some interesting situations - a unbelieving scientist attempting a spell in a spellbook and nothing happens becasue he has no belief. A powerful wizard, priest or god could be reliant on the belief the people have in them - if the legend of the caster fades over time, their power fades or vanishes as well. It would give priest characters something to do than just heal, they would have to keep trying to generate belief in their particular god or brand of magic, while reducing the power of competing beliefs and religions. Building/destroying shrines and temples would aid one side or another, while a wandering wizard would encourage tales of mystery and wonder that spread from his adventures.
This is a second OSRG, seperate from the main osrg thread, where you CAN talk about 2e, retroclones, and any osr content you want.This is different than the regular osrg as due to rampant trolling from a handful of bad actors, discussion is impossible.
>>97220910>>97220911Alright you winged the first response. Maybe you should re-focus your efforts and try again.
>>97220910BrOSR fags are so completely irredeemable, and I think they revel in that.
>>97212715Modern players are dull, do not map, and there will always be frustrating communication issues.You can get away with just giving them the actual dungeon map, they will still occasionally get lost or take a wrong turn as long as you don't reveal the whole map at once such as with Roll20's line of sight lighting system.
I don't know if my group is too good or if there's just never been any real challenge.Aside from avoiding unfair instant death, I try to run a fairly difficult game, but my group manages resources efficiently, gauges challenges appropriately, and plays extremely cautiously while doing all the basic "best practices" (scouting appropriately, securing and maintaining escape routes, etc.). I try to throw lots of curveballs and put them in situations where they can't rely on the same tactics, but they readily adapt and improvise as needed. They haven't complained about being bored and seem to be enjoying themselves, but personally I'm actually getting a little tired of "intelligent" play and want to see players take more stupid risks, instead of every move being calculated on a risk/reward matrix with safety and security always being paramount. I'm at the point where I don't even know what a challenge is anymore, because what they're doing isn't necessarily easy, but it makes them fairly predictable and makes my side of things less exciting. I could set up illogical or even insane scenarios that specifically punish the players for playing intelligently, but that feels less like introducing a proper challenge and more of just creating the illusion of difficulty for its own sake.
>>97220886The osr was before your G+ runoff. You've just taken >rulings not rules and turned it into doxa you fuckwit.
I would like to talk about the Chronicles of Darkness game line Deviant: The Renegades, or more specifically, one major upcoming supplement. Deviant was released in late 2021, and has had three additional sourcebooks since then. A new supplement, Black Vans, has been in playtesting for a while, and is currently being previewed.I am not being paid or sponsored to promote this book in any way. I am just very fascinated by it, and indeed, I already ran a mini-campaign using the playtest material.Deviant is, by default, a game about playing angsty, scarred superheroes who either fight world-manipulating conspiracies or work for them. Black Vans is a toolkit full of variant rules, quick NPC creation, variant character types, and variant genres. These variants range from the minor to the dramatic, completely overhauling what were once non-negotiable, foundational themes and mechanics. Maybe your character is not angsty or scarred at all, perhaps they are a """""regular human""""" like John Wick or Batman, or the campaign might have nothing to do with world-manipulating conspiracies.These variant genres include cyberpunk, high fantasy, post-apocalypse, space opera, and superhero emergence.This is a beefy supplement. For example, one chapter alone dedicates 38,000+ words to playing other monsters of the Chronicles of Darkness: Beasts, changelings, demons, Sin-Eaters, hunters (entirely separate from the variant rules for """natural""" superpowers), mages, mummies, Prometheans, vampires, and werewolves. No additional supplements beyond Deviant are necessary; the rules are self-contained, allowing the group to play a monster mash of an urban fantasy setting without needing a daunting 7+ books. And yes, they are supposed to be balanced against one another, so a vampire in the same group as a full-fledged mage is probably some older Kindred.(Continued.)
>>97221065>Black Vans, which OP mentioned, is going to provide options for drastically different setting milieus.>Thematically, it's big on themes like struggling with alienation from regular people and your former life, acting clandestinely to fall beneath the notice of something that wants to claim you, and the conspiracy and mystery cult angles that are common throughout ChroD as a setting.I will add that Black Vans specifically sets out to present variant rules and genres that let the GM adjust the tone and theme to whatever they want.Maybe the GM just wants some goofy, high-powered urban fantasy game with only a modicum of alienation and persecution. Black Vans can do that.A cyberpunk game about juggling a network of patrons and sponsors? A high fantasy game about heroic ideals and the interference of godlike beings? A post-apocalyptic game about hope and despair, and rebuilding a shattered world? A space opera game about toppling interstellar empires? A superhero emergence game about managing PR and worldwide sentiment towards all superheroes? A genre-bending game mixing several of these? Black Vans has this covered.
>>97221120I will add that even this has nuance.For one, while it is true that "go Renegade against the conspiracy that made you" is a recommended starting point, it is far from the only one. You might have Diverged thanks to an entirely different conspiracy, due to a freak accident, or because of your own wacky self-experimentation.For two, most conspiracies of the Web of Pain are indeed super-duper evil. Thus, Renegades fighting against them are "good guys" by default, while Devoted are positioned as "bad guys." But many Devoted are coerced or outright enslaved into service.Further complicating matters, some conspiracies are more neutral-ish, and a rare handful are morally and ethically upstanding. The Standing 5 Chinkon Collective and its Devoted are earnestly, genuinely trying to keep all of Japan safe from otherworldly threats. It is theoretically possible to play someone who goes Renegade against the Chinkon Collective, but if so, such a Renegade would absolutely not be fighting the good fight.
>>97221178Indeed, this degree of nuance is one of the major reasons why DTR is such a resounding success, while aforementioned BTP, which plays at nuance by never really committing to anything (i.e. many beasts say they exist to teach humanity lessons through nightmares, but in practice this is mostly just an excuse to justify their innately harmful existences) as a means of trying to cover up how incredibly shallow it actually is, sucks its own ass so hard it turns inside out.
>>97221178>>97221242Yet another point of nuance.Even in the best-case scenario of Renegades fighting some super-duper evil conspiracy, there are still so many innocent dupes and catspaws in the way. Let us take Standing 3 Corvalis Chemicals, for example, a stereotypically evil chemical company.Most of the people working there are simply wage slaves. They may be dimly aware that they are working for some "evil" corporation, but then, what huge corporations are not? Do these people really deserve to die when a bunch of Renegades storm a conspiracy Node with grenades, Storm Caller, and other devastating AoE attacks?This is precisely the point of Deep Dive's Kindly Ones, a Standing 7 conspiracy. They are dedicated to taking down the rest of the Web of Pain. Some are moderates, and some even try to eliminate evil conspiracies peacefully. The rest of the Kindly Ones are extremists who absolutely do not care about collateral damage, and think nothing of blowing up Nodes and everyone inside them.
>>97220998>>97221065Interesting write up anons, thank you. I'll probably still play oWoD but I'll be checking out Deviant on the side for some content Since I'm perma ST
