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.PREVIOUS THREAD>>97206318
>>97232118>interacting with NPCs to gain power is the same thing as abusing rule edge cases that don't make a lick of sense to do shit that shouldn't be possible.If I was the GM I would heavily encourage you not to do that stupid shit but come on now.
>>97250257>interacting with NPCs>cutting a monster into pieces and making sapient ropes out of them>"""interacting"""
>>97247426Best solution is to make them Diegetic.Know how in 1981 Clash of the Titans movie where it occasionally zooms out to the gods playing hungry hungry hippos with the lives of men and they comment on what rube Perseus is?If you want Fate Points to exist in setting then have them be the interest of the gods.Make big sacrifices? Fate Points.Do a job that's low pay but honours someone or helps someone favoured by them? Fate Points.Roll a pair of 20s in a row? Give them a Lady Point and when they ask what that is tell them it's a fate point from The Lady and not to ask more.They read the Necronomicon and become a crazy cultist mainlining your dark god? Fate Points out the wazoo.
>>97251080That's how you end up with isekai-tier "Everyone is aware of the mechanics and discusses things like classes and levels openly" silliness.
>>97251080Alternatively make them semi-diegetic. Like hit points, but for heroism. Most heroes in stories have an unreasonable faith that things will work out OK. Hero Points make that true, and when they've run out it's that crisis of faith Empire Strikes Back time until the hero gets their shit together and earns more.

>>97251669>You're a punk because you're out to shake off the shackles of tradition and conformity through scientific and cultural breakthroughs to become the new captains of the world.This is giga cope. Steampunk is just a branding for pulp fiction. Trying to shoehorn "punk" in doesn't actually work, and doesn't actually reflect the fiction and scene.This is fine, since punk is pretty gay
>>97251727And actual cyberpunk works are mostly about people who are part of the System rather than people who are opposed to it.
>>97251739To be fair, readers are overwhelmingly part of the system, and so it's not really possible to persuade them to feel sympathy for punk without thoroughly illustrating what's wrong with the system / being part of the system.The reason most -punk works follow characters who are part of the system is because those characters are dysfunctional as such or come into conflict with the system as part of the plot. This opposition to the system is what illustrates the inherent flaws in the system and thus allows the reader to develop a sympathy for the -punk philosophical thesis.
>>97251768I'd argue that means the work is inherently antipunk as the logical takeaway from such a setup is "the system is terrible but there is no other meaningful option to take." Essentially a Hobson's Choice disguised as revolutionary literature.

Are there rules in one of the advanced books covering if I want to para-drop troops and or battle armors out of an aircraft? Megamek has those options but I wanted to find the actual printed rules to get a better understanding
>>97251627Well I'm not sure how you'd go about that. With my original question, was thinking about how the pilot abilities would factor into battle value, but that clearly won't be an issue here.
>>97251687Strat ops. I think the most recent printings have the aerospace rules split out into their own book but they should be pretty much the same other than applying eratta.
>>97251685Quad BA could also use a melee option of some kind
>>97251687Dropping regular infantry out of a conventional plane is in Total Warfare, dropping anything else out of dropships or small craft is in Strat ops. There are different requirements if they're being dropped in atmosphere or from space.

Is your character someone commoners would like off first-impression?
>>97251568He does, but only to himself or in very bland ways to other anons, to fake normal engagement. Well, and it may be him complaining when people call his art AI-generated. What puzzles me most is no one has ever said the art is any good (and I mean...none of it is). The only attention he gets is negative. Well, sometimes it's mildly positive on reddit.
>>97251718I don't think he's trolling, because he was doing it for years before people finally started noticing, too. Guy might just be genuinely autistic. A good candidate for the gas vans.
>>97251730You're genuinely autistic for knowing this much info about some random poster on a Korean basketweaving forum
>>97251760anon, you have a biological imperative to notice patterns and retain information. please cut the shit.
>>97251760I'll never understand why when the choice is between "guy who commits fraud, sabotage, or any kind of intentional disruption" and "guy who has an autistic skill for detecting said fraud, sabotage, or disruption," there's always a retard like you who has to lash out at the people trying to stop the former from fagging things up. Why the fuck would it bother you that someone chooses to document the patterns of a serial nuisance if the efforts could help remove a cancer from spreading?

>>97251513>TQ3.0 D&D. I remember making my first dungeon and playing with one friend. Good times.>BTQI used to. The last game I played that wasn't 5e was Genesys. I've played a bunch of others. I kind of miss other games but my group knows 5e well and I wanted to test 5.5e. 5.5e is basically the same, maybe slightly better. What draws me to 5e is the original vision of it. A quite basic game that you can then change to your liking through modular rules. WoTC completely fumbled the ball giving us those modular rules but third party and just general house rules make it work. I steal a lot from 3.5 and 4e for my games.
>What edition got you into D&D?The first time I was supposed to play D&D, it was 3.5. My buddy had us roll characters when we were on spring break but we got too high to actually play and then just never started up again for whatever reason. After years of trying to find someone willing to DM, I finally decided to DM myself this past year with 5e 2024.

DM allows it.>For whatever reason he thought it was a good idea to tell the artificer this information.>Next session, artificer spends half an hour asking if I was evil and me repeatedly telling him no. Told him that even if I were evil why would I tell him that? I get mad and tell him to shut up. For the rest of the campaign he would sporadically ask me if I was evil like it was the funniest bit ever.>In castle Ravenloft, we eventually meet Strahd and his brides. Our bard was charmed during this.>I was in the middle of telling the brides to walk away from this fight or we'd kill them too. Just a cool character moment before the final fight.>Artificer decides to interrupt me and tell me to not say that because our Bard was charmed and would attack us if he knew we were gonna threaten Strahd even though we were literally about to fight him.>Oh well we defeat Strahd and his brides.>I reveal that I'm evil and will now kill them all.>Our Bard snapped out of his Charm and defeats me.>Since the bard and I were in the campaign the longest I thought it'd be a nice character moment to have my Barbarian say his final words to him.Comment too long.

I've been thinking about giving my chaos warriors Battle Hunger instead of Enhanced Reflexes recently. People seem to agree that ER can make a defensive chaos warrior regiment a lot better, but nobody seems to be giving BH a try. Surely a mini-swiftstride has to be good, right? Chaos warriors with great weapons (this could pair very well with that chaos lord build discussed earlier in the thread) or halberds could make use of it.

Not really sure how Judaic it is, since they weren't the ones that conflated the serpent in the garden with an adversary to the creator.

>>97248898Defenses, yes. AC, no.
>>97249902AC is far more reliable than all that illusion stuff.Looking at just the demons, already by CR 6 it begins to drop off with Babau who have See Invisibility and can spam Dispel against your illusions. By CR 13 with stuff like Glabrezu many creatures start getting True seeing, blind fight, tremor-sense, life-sense. one burst of Faerie Fire and your blurs and displacement do nothing. Some DMs let spells like Grease and Web place the target too if aimed to engulf the form rather than on the ground.

Reading through the thread, I once again wonder if there is a digital version of Technomancer Press' Player's Companion. Because if not for a number of old posts and HFA, I'd swear it never existed. Which makes it the second work for 3.X I can say something like that about.
It's Christmas Yes I know I'm late, shut up a time of mercy and cheer.SO WHY NOT CELEBRATE WITH THE MOST MERCIFUL MAN IN THE IMPERIUM, THE REDEEMER!?!I'm going to storytime the entire classic comic.
