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/9fzM6128 >Need a starter dungeon?

>>97391643It's probably just that every story that ACKShill tells is boring.
>>97389877>Why B/X lacks % in lair?As Anon said, it's not clear – my personal theory is that it's ultimately because of the division into Basic and Expert. No, hear me out: B/X is premised on the idea that only dungeon crawling elements of the game are explained in Basic (those being the most fundamental parts of D&D gameplay) and the wilderness exploration elements are detailed in Expert, once the PCs are of a level to cope with them. A consequence of this is that the % in Lair stat would make no sense in Basic – it's not used by any systems, so it would only be confusing (to brand-new referees!) for it to be present in Basic. Moldvay very reasonably cut it. But this created a problem for Cook when he went to write Expert: lots of monsters now have no % in Lair stat, including ones you'd expect to have them like orc and goblin tribes. Does he just put a table in summarizing this stat for all Basic monsters? Or does he reprint every Basic monster that might appear in the wilderness, in full? You see the issue. I think he just went ahead and cut the stat, for ease and consistency.
>>97390578I honestly thought Simulacrum Anon used the OD&D rules straight off so they're adapted to 5-mile hexes. In any case I agree with Anon saying just not to bother with any kind of conversion. Play them as-is.
>>97391501>More on topic: are most campaigns run using a hexcrawl for the 'overworld'?Pretty much all of them. The rules prescribe doing that and, frankly, none of the alternatives attempted, such as pointcrawls, are anywhere as good.>I really like the sound of the Wilderlands of High Fantasy's science fantasy elements.If you want to look into it, try to get your hands on Rob Conley / Bat in the Attic revisions. Much not readable and high quality maps, although you still want to have the original ones as well because Rob omitted stuff like the generators.
>>97391884That would be plausible were it not for the fact that Moldvay and Cook wrote the books in parallel and consulting each other, it's not like Cook was tasked with writing the Expert after Moldvay was done with it. They must have consulted.>>97391879Kill yourself, fishfag.

>>97299566Do I need to speak English to play this game?
>>97392501Kinda, the game has been translated to spanish, italian, german, japanese and iirc french and portuguese, however most people DO treat the english translation as the default due to shitty localizations and/or rulings not being specific in other languages (if vs when, send vs destroy, affect the cards vs affect the player, etc), so you can get away with playing in say, german, but you also need to know english to avoid getting "sharked" in locals, never mind YCS tournaments where the judges are mostly american.
>>97392501Yes.

>>97392525Neat. Again, subjective opinions are welcome, you're not required to like it. Know what else is welcome? How about everyone that is here to talk about what they like about the game, posting cards they have or wanting to discuss strategy. No need to constantly let folks prop up hateful rhetoric with fake posts designed to damage the reputation of a game here. Whatever transgressions they fabricate don't change the fact that the game is on topic for the thread. Reminder, irrational shitposting isn't on topic, so flag anything you see that's obvious, the troll has no shame.
>TQProbably learning the lore of the Ebon Hand through card art and flavor text. But that's not a good /acg/ story, so have the first card in Transformers TCG to get banned
>gameplayFor Centaurs, you should be able to use them as mounts when not in combat if they're lightly armed & armored. I think you could ride into battle with them and fight on their back without overburdening them, depending on your loadout. Squeezing into dungeons and caves might be a bit of a bitch, and your centaur companion may find themselves too cumbersome to accompany you in certain locations. If people in wheelchairs can make do, I'm sure a transmog potion or a shrinking potion might solve the problem.>fantasy settingsThey're more at home here for sure, like having a horse. Some taverns may give you a hard "no" for your centaur companion, but I'm sure regions that are steeped in centaur culture or adjacent ones have accommodations for their unique anatomy. If nothing else, they could help carry your camp supplies and other provisions. >loadouts for fantasyIf you're not riding them, I think they can be pretty well armed and armored- think tower shield and a mace/flail. They also make good spearmen, so I think they'd be comfortable wielding a halbard and similar pike-style weapons. This would be with them wearing plate mail cuirass for the human portion and chainmail curtain over their horse hind quarters, or perhaps some specially fitted Gambeson. Other plate sections could be fitted to their horse body as needed. Archery and crossbows seem like they'd work for ranged options. I've not considered them using magic, but having a fairly mobile spellcaster seems cool as well.
>>97371767That'd be nice. There was a mobile game in the works that looked like it'd be Sega's version of Fire Emblem Heroes. Sadly, that got scrapped.There was the Phantasy Star TTG that Skydawn put together, as I'd mentioned before >>97289191, but from what I've heard, it kinda shit the bed. I'd like to get my hands on a copy of the pdf so I can judge for myself, but all the online reviews were a mixture of "not that great" to "it's good...if you're a hardcore Phantasy Star enjoyer and must own everything PS related". I'd like something like that for Shining Force, but maybe handled by a better publisher. I'd be fine with either a D&D-style game with Shining Force window dressing or a wargame that focused on individual units and played more like the original Shining Force titles, with maybe a hex board or something like that, where battles could be streamlined, and the story would be secondary to quicker action.
There's no horsing around in this thread.
>>97297832>>97293635this character has done irreversible damage to my standards back thenrelated to the thread, anyone can recommend centaur minis? classic greek or generic fantasy themed and preferably physical not stl
>>97385314You can search for 3-D print models. Centaurs are a little goofy anatomy wise so I wouldn't expect to find them in a regular store that pumps out mass-marketed stuff.
>>97392367>3-D print modelsI know, but I don't have a printer, it would be a last resort. Also I was hoping for recommendations from people who might have found the better ones alreadyI did just find that apparently northstar will release new models to support Warriors of Athena or something
>the next BBEG in your campaign is a coomer that goes around kidnapping and mind controlling women for his harem, and literally that’s it.Does your party even care? Does your setting/game system even care? Assume that the BBEG is an adequate challenge and difficulty for your setting and party (whether it’s Exalted or DND or Rogue Trader or whatever, and the villain is always the right difficulty level for your party whether you’re lvl 1 or lvl 20 or a weenie or a Solar, the scale is perfect).Basically is this guy a problem you and your crew would want to fix in whatever game you’re playing.If he isn’t, what would it take to make him be a problem? A bigger bounty or reward? A personal friend that got turned into a harem slave?
>>97392828>>97392770Oh noooo she got captured oh nooooo.... guess you gotta save her. Too bad she'll have been used a couple of times before your party gets to her though.>>97392705You clocked me hard, but it didn't matter in the end, anon.
>>97392853Oh no, damn, wow, the BBEG used his harem of mind controlled slaves to steal all your party's shit, what a tragedy oh nooooo....
>>97392927>>97392963Oh no?!Kek.
Just another AI garbage thread.

Is your character the type to hit on barmaids?
>>97337982yes>on nevermind
Is your PC the type to think the barmaid actually likes them?
>>97337982No, he'd feel self-conscious if she talks to him. Being a pretty boy, he's never really had to learn how to gain female attention.
>>97337982my character's the type to be a barmaid (male)
>>97393058You troonfaggots always think you're so unique for this response.
Is there a reason we have so few games with a Gothic or Victorian inspired setting but a trillion rehashes of medieval fantasy, science-fiction or some eastern setting with katanas?
>>97388146Too close to real life. It doesn't fuel well enough the need for escapism.
>>97388146Victorian is modern enough that anything you could do in that setting you could feasibly do in a modern setting
I personally find that Victorian aesthetics, and even 19th-century firearms, tend to get absorbed into the "generic high fantasy" banner.Whether it is D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, Draw Steel, or Daggerheart, it does not seem to be particularly uncommon for one character to be a knight in full plate while another character is a 19th-century-esque gunslinger or pseudo-steampunk gadgeteer (or both).I should know, because I have GMed for and played in parties exactly like this in all of the aforementioned systems.Another oddly specific point where this rings true is that if someone is asked to envision a generic "noblewoman," it is a 50/50 shot on whether they picture something medieval/Renaissance-ish or something more Victorian.Victorian and other 19th-century aesthetics got gobbled up by the "generic high fantasy" genre.
>>97388146>Victorian inspired settingIsn’t that pretty much all of Steampunk ever?
>>97391891If gothic isnt medevial theres no fucking way the shit WOTC puts out is medevial
Many of you had a schizophrenic attack approximately 14 weeks ago. This is the place to admit you were wrong, apologize for your lack of discernment and over-confidence, and start to think about how you'll make amends to the community.

Over 24 hours and not a peep from someone with the strength to say, "I thought they were female heads, and I thought they were making female Space Marines. I was wrong about that."But I thought we had good faith rhetoricians here? HUH???

>>97392965Can you expand on what the fuck you're talking about?When this product was revealed dozens of individual 4chan users posted about how it was confirmation that marines were going female, and it was a done deal. Multiple tearful threads were made.I'm simply wondering what happened to all those bold thinkers. Were you one?

I'm so hype. My GM who was running am DH game for ~18 years but took a break due to life stuff has decided to pick it back up again. My other GM who was running RT for ~15 years is taking a brief break while the DH GM picks it up again (same group). We're doing a Deathwatch mini game to get back in the swing of things, and we had our first session today. The energy was really great in a social session while we discussed how the Cohesion system works. We have a Lamenter Apothecary, a Salamander Techmarine, a Space Wolf wolf scout, a Raven Guard successor assault marine, an Ultramarine tactical marine, and a Black Shield librarian
>>97392355Every few weeks I see something here that makes me glad I only got on this site when I entered college and was decently adjusted to socialization. I'm sure there's some cool people here too but honestly joining games seems like such a dice roll that it's not worth it.
Speaking of, are there any places to semi-reliably pick up a group for 40krpg's? IRL circle dissolved through the kung flu, and sites like Roll20 seem to be like sifting for corn in a river of shit.
>>97392491If there were, we wouldn't all be here complaining about it. We can't even play with each other, because clearly we all have different ideas of how a good game should be run.
I need some help with the details of a game I'm planning. Tzeentch, got bored and decided to mess with some noble that collects art. After messing with his head through nightmares about his family selling his stuff after he dies the noble gets terrified about what will happen to his collection and decides the best way to keep it safe forever is to find someone who will care about it as much as he does. At a party he over hears someone from a different world talk about how Trazyn the Infinite stole some relics from their estate. Thinking that Trazyn is a collector like himself the noble decides to find him and donate his collection so it will stay safe from his family.That's a quick summery of what I want to start with. Ignoring the ordeal of getting to him and the shock of finding out that Trazyn is a Necron, what would Trazyn do if the noble actually got to him and showed off his large collection of art? And what would he want to keep? Is there a particular kind of human artifact he would be interested in? Rarity, age, what would he care about?
Some /tg/-related funny images and comics. YMMV.

>>97393093not watching
>>97392552I will blame this largely on wotc's methods of storytelling. Books and novels didn't get the brand out there by writing novels about Urza and the Weatherlight scant few players read. The comics are bad joke not even the lorefags seem to pay attention to. Now we're stuck with at the bottom of the barrel, web stories written by freelance writers and character lore through fucking web articles. Regardless of any of the material being good this just isn't how you get people to care. They need a movie, a TV show, anything they can watch. That is how you build a brand. Nobody but hardcore comic geeks gave a shit about Invincible for 15 years until it got a normalfag TV show. Now it's popular. New manga flies under the radar all the time until it gets an anime then it's popular. Old unc novels like Dune are popular but only catch fire as a brand when they get turned into watchable movies. Wotc has not ventured into this space. Fuck, look at Yugioh if you need proof it works for card games. Yugioh would have been washed away by the sands of time without all the anime seasons it's received.
