but adventure just has really poor draw, you have to play it toolbox, you can't be trying to build an omni by finding and playing a bunch of tamers and setting up this board. its just bad at that
the adventure omni is better in actual omni builds, the metalgrey is really good in both, wargrey is pretty good in both too but the melga is kinda cracked

I wish I could combine them and they not be shit, then I could match up my diaboro deck and my adventure omni deck for PEAK living the experience I wanted as a child

>Cyberpunk 2020 vs. Cyberpunk RED?
Cyberpunk 2020 is the second edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG by R. Talsorian Games, set in a (then) future inspired by film noir and the dark science fiction films and books of the late 20th century. It focuses on simulationist gameplay and lethal near-future combat.

Cyberpunk RED is the latest edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG, set after the devastating Fourth Corporate War. It focuses on more balanced, streamlined gameplay and is currently supported by R. Talsorian Games.

It's a little impressive how bad rtal is at production runs. Rusted Chrome took 5 years to cancel, probably because Mike turned back to witcher, CDPR preasuered them to hurry the fuck up and release something 2077, Cody and Dolan wanted to do their own rpg, and now James has his own rpg. Keep in mind they were "excited to tell us more soon" about this book in Christmas 2024, and apparently actual game tools wise it was basically finished. It's taken an eternity for them to finish the new night city book, and it's launch date has been getting pushed back by 6 months every 9 months for ages until they finally settled on June, and these last delays seem to have been a result of delays to art production based on previous statements.
Oh and let's not forget that the upcoming 2077 book is, for some reason, another campaign book. And all the little cancellations early on, like a book on netrunning in red or the highriders. Instead we get Trauma deck and single player mode. hooray....

I just do not understand how they decide who works on what and when. an I hope they think hard about who they contract for art too, because between some of the uh, art, in hope reborn and this hiccup, it's clearly not going well

I'm pretty sure James is autistic, I've watched a few of role streams where he talks with rob and compared to that bouncer his charisma is fucking negative, he stutters every other sentence he speaks, knows hundreds of rules from like 10 books by heart and solves game mechanical questions pretty much on the spot, like within seconds, when it sometimes takes him double the time to start a coherent sentence.
And now he really likes dinos so he make a dino game, you guys see this, right?

>i always liked the idea of Spelljammer when not played as silly pirate adventure with haha space zombie clowns and haha slime people and haha fat hippo people with guns, but actually played straight and takes itself serious as a kind of Mass Effect in fantasy dressing.

Same. It also tends to work better when it is used as it's own setting rather than as a way to connect Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk or import the Star Frontiers stuff to D&D.

>>97809664
>I personally reall like how gonzo it goes. I got inerested in it after finding out it includes mechs (sticking a ship helm in the corpse of a giant insect race) and kamen riders (a gem that mutates you into a supersoldier with light mind control you have to control when you transform, more guyver than kr but the difference is small).

Yeah, the "gonzo" is really important to get across the idea that it is "space fantasy" rather than Star Wars style sci-fantasy. Spelljammer is a setting that would definitely benefit from a ground up remake that would allow for the inclusion of ideas that came out after it was originally released.

A few ideas that I have thought of including in a Spelljammer setting:

>A culture whose ships are helmed by dryads. (based on the space trees in Tenchi Muyo!)
>A culture of (possibly not!Victorian) warforged whose spelljammers are basically giant transforming robots that they directly interface with
>Eberron's Inspired being a Mindflayer servant caste created to man the serial helms

How hard is it to create an interesting campaign without backstory? After reading the classic Sword and sorcery stories, I wanted to do something that didn't rely on backstory and was completely focused on the present. But how do you make it interesting?

>>97821328
It is not. The original was posted by uncannyknack on deviantart as far as I can tell.

I have found most systems for armor and defense unsatisfying.
I find pure damage negation doesn't represent that armor doesn't just reflect but also reduces a lot of damage too, a hammer to the helmet won't just plink off its going to have some significant concussive effect, if less than against an unhelmeted head. But on the other end, armor as pure static damage reduction often doesn't illustrate the other end, that many attacks SHOULD simply be negated, a knife thrown at a breastplate won't just deal less damage, it will ping off harmlessly.

And Barbarians of Lemuria, Specifically the Mythic version, I believe addresses both those concerns for me.

This is done by a. health and damage being kept rather conservative and relatively equal, not becoming exponential as levels go up and b. armor being a die you roll for damage reduction rather than a static number. The range of damage that armor protects just so happens to align with the damage most weapons can do. damage being 1-6 + strength and armor protecting 0-5 damage. meaning that a low roll on most attacks and a high roll on most armor saves will have the armor totally negate attacks, while a high attack roll and a low armor roll will totally bypass armor, and a medium attack roll and a medium armor roll will deal reduced damage.

This is all modified by the fact that 2 handed weapons you roll 2d6 and pick the highest damage, medium weapons you roll straight 1d6 and light weapons you roll 2d6 pick the lowest. And armor ranged from light reducing d6-3 damage (0-3 damage), medium reducing d6-2 damage (0-4 damage), and heavy reducing d6-1 damage (0-5 damage). This means a dagger has the potential to deal as much damage as a great axe if situation permits (like dagger to the eye slit), but is less likely too, and that light armor could fully protect you from a glancing blow like heavy armor, but is also less likely too.

Pretty retarded to pick up a "perfect" system for something like this. It all depends on the game.
>>
>>97817766
This does it for me too.
The randomization of damage already represents the variability of combat.
>>
My cheap-ass homebrew does it like this:
>Reduction of various attack types depending on type
>Layering to combine reduction bonuses
>Special, but harder, attacks to bypass top layer (knife to weakspot)
>Attacks which make it through deal a different sort of damage than an attack on an unarmored foe would deal (instead of health I have pain and exhaustion. Attacks on armour are largely converted to exhaustion)

Honestly Shadowrun's was fine. Can reduce or negate attacks, or it determined how easy it was to reduce or negate an attack back before SR4.

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:

They don't like fighting, their shooting is good but on 4 and can't shoot twice. They have tricks too. I haven't played into them, or as them but they seem to want to pick and choose when/where to shoot/fight. I would assume they get wrecked if they don't engage on their terms.

My friends are first and foremost fantasy /awg/ players. I'm quite happy they gave Warcry a chance despite avoid GW's games like the plague, for a good reason but that's obvious to anyone stuck in the GW's hell.
The local GW crowd is good-hearted but absolutely mindless, they only follow the shiny new releases and the mere thought of playing an unsupported game/edition gives them a panic attack.
