Welcome to /wbg/, the official thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.Here is where you go to present and develop the details of your worlds such as lore, factions, magic and ecosystems. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art (either created by you or used as inspiration for your work). Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback or post whatever relevant input you might have!Last thread: >>97165346Resources for Newfags: https://sites.google.com/view/wbgeneral/Worldbuilding links: https://pastebin.com/JNnj79S5 (embed) (embed)https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view/Eo+fK41FKVR7xDpbNO0a0N4k0YYxrmyrhX3VxnM14Ew/Fantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator/wbi/: https://discord.gg/6ZjEc7dy4TWorldbuilding Hub: https://discord.com/invite/wGjxK3YThe Writer's Forge: https://discord.com/invite/CUxHxWqTira: https://discord.com/invite/f52W6KgComment too long.

>>97311994>Do you have any interesting alchemical ingredients or magical components for spells?I would love to include more of these, but all of my players have grown up playing 3e, 4e and 5e and refuse to use spell ingredients for the games since "we're only playing a few levels anyway, it's not like we're going 1-20".

>>97354029So answer the question based on all of them. For mentally and intellectually well adjusted that shouldn't be hard to figure out.
>>97353397Money and magical aptitude are inherited. If your parents are rich, then they can afford magic tutoring. And if they were able to learn magic, then chances are that you'll have a knack for magic too.
>>97354852Its because a lot of people have no social skills and have to play retail, which leads to Stockhold Syndrome in which they openly begin to support bad practices as the alternative in their eyes is not playing. They betray themselves every time though, because all they focus on is the ability to get games from the tourney goblins bringing the freshest broken meta to the tournament.

Depression is just not enjoying life, it's that simple.This anon is retarded >>97354667
>>97354937>t. guy who has the strength to do enjoyable stuff
>>97354667This is to buy into the idea though that mental illness is not illness. Both depression and MS are ultimately physiological, even if the symptoms they exhibit are different. I don’t think most of us look at someone with an ‘obvious’ ‘physical’ illness and see it as a character flaw. To draw an artificial category distinction, both ‘physical’ and ‘mental’ illnesses can be helped through pharmacological intervention and non-medicinal coping strategies and behavioural changes. For both categories, the latter are often more difficult than the former for obvious reasons: a pill doesn't have to fight habits and behaviours often long ingrained by coping with a particular illness. The body shepherds its energies for survival and is loathe to expend them ‘unnecessarily’. It’s one of the cruellest paradoxes of any long term illness.Most people with depression do get out of bed to provide for themselves and their families, not least because they have no other choice. I know you aren’t that anonymous, but you both seem to think that people with depression have no self-awareness and would kill to be able to just ‘stop that fag shit’. I don’t want special treatment or accommodations - I want to be normal, productive, functioning and socially contributory, and it would be nice if those efforts came to feel normal, easy and healthy.
>>97354096Wow, not a single wargame worthy anecdote>Pretending WW2 is boringWW2 is the most popular historical wargaming period, that is an objective fact. I am in no need to convince you of it being cool. But (You) are completely incapable of making a pre-industrial wargame sound interesting at all, which is why it will remain a dying niche of a niche>Dude you can do epic diplomacy!Yawn
>>97355070>This is to buy into the idea though that mental illness is not illness.It is weakness though.>MSidk what that is>I don’t think most of us look at someone with an ‘obvious’ ‘physical’ illness and see it as a character flawAppeal to the masses is a fallacy. Also, I never said "character flaw", just flaw. It certainly is a flaw to be physically or mentally ill. A flaw is a blemish, an imperfection, a drawback. A runny nose certainly is a blemish.>pharmakeia hopiumidk mate, I don't touch the stuff>Most people with depression do get out of bed to provideWell shit nigga, then those people are less depressed (ie. less weak) than the more depressed (ie. weaker) ones. You understand what a spectrum is, right?>The body shepherds its energies for survival and is loathe to expend them ‘unnecessarily’Yeah, because it is weak. Make it stronger and it'll have more energy, and thus be less loathe to expend some of it.

What edition of BB should I play? Not sure if the new one is any good. I’m mostly interested with starting with Sevens, probably gonna play vamps. My buddy has Necromantic Horrors. I’m pretty green to the whole thing. I know vamps are very random, but I’m pretty okay with that, sounds silly.
Do you guys reckon the next big 'munda release will be another "zone Necromunda" game? It's pretty wierd that there's been 2 AoS warhammer quests back to back, and I'm starting to wonder if the Underhells box is to be considered an alternative. That would kinda explain how the whole thing feels pretty tacked on to regular Necromunda

I finished painting another lance of mechs (and also tanks). The Warhammer in the back was painted earlier. I seen to have used a different amount of wash, so the shade doesn't quite match despite the colors used being the same.

Dungeon and Dragons, by virtue of being Dungeon and Dragons, is the definition of a generic fantasy system.

I had no idea there was so much hate towards the Verbena. I was just thinking of a character concept based on the vvitch movie from 2015 about witches who try to initiate people into their culture by first destroying all attachments they may have. But why is such a tradition so reviled? I don't see them that much different from the hermetics or the cult of ecstasy.

>>97350957Not for a second. They're as "benevolent" as they need to be in order to fool you.
>>97351514>>97351961So you reject the notion that a supernatural being, even if they began their existence as a normal human being like you or I, could ever be good or even benign? Why? Is there something about being supernatural itself that makes these people become ontologically evil?
[spoilers] So this thread is pretty much done for, what do you guys want to do next? [/spoilers]

Is anyone else far more interested in hearing more of Katsuhiro's story than whatever Dorn and Guilliman are doing during the scouring? I want more lore focused on the everyday mortals of the imperium.

>>97345107Why not use the FFG system? Narrative dice work really well when putting a story together you don't know yet. I use it for my solo Rogue Trader game and it works quite well.

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade 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?

I wanted to say thanks to anyone who helped me with some questions about mutant future and labyrinth lord in a previous thread. I now had a question about some supplements. I heard that apes victorious added some neat stuff for mutant future by some people, but I also heard that it actually is a bit harder to convert to mutant future and does not add much. Does anyone know if that is the case? Some of the powers sound neat, and my players want to use more offensive mental abilities. Are the psi powers vs mental mutations just different names? How is the advanced mutant companion? I know it is made by someone other than goblinoid games, so I was wondering if it added a lot of neat options without changing the core game. It looks like it adds feats and skills which seems to go against the grain. Another book that looked better in my opinion was creatures of the tropical wastes.
