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?

1 min games are too fast, I'm 500 elo in it. I always blunder in a stupid way out of desperation and any victory I have feels like my opponent lost for the same reason.
>Woodpecker methodDoes it work? What is your personal experience with it? I am thinking about making it my new year's resolution to level up my chess power. Pic to get your attention.
>>97179645you're not meant to play bullet games if you're below 1500-2000 rapid and have well trained pattern recognition
900 elo but I was a little proud of this game. I'm white.
>>97180052It's a waste of time. Do puzzles instead.
Do you prefer to make characters that are built to thrive within society, or characters that are built to be as independent from society as they possibly can be?
...what?Your spambot's broken, the zero effort single sentence non-topics dont even make sense any more
What are some interesting ways that a D&D succubus who traded her CHA for STR/CON, could corrupt mortals /tg/?
Do succubus have periods?
>>97158258She can't rape me if I want it
>>97158037>>97158294Fuck off, neopuritan faggots.We have reached the point where posting cute girls gets these fags infesting your thread. What is 4chan coming to?
>>97175811>ummm sweaty??? FAT IS BOOTIFULL And yet you don't play gamesYou may be a fatguy but you certainly aren't a fa/tg/uy
>>97175811>>Seductive individual who introduces individuals into ‘fitness’ culture, leading them down the slippery slope of body dysmorphia, substance abuse, plastic surgery, body modification and sexual deviancy.Body Dysmorphia that leads to weight loss and not being a slovenly, disgusting fat fuck is a good thing. /fit/ does not condone plastic surgery or body modding either in general. Worst is the subset of people advising others juice and/or hit up tren. A healthy, fit body is something to celebrate and appreciate.
Why was XP for gold largely abandoned as a way to reward players?
>>97180055Doesn't matter, if you have a quiver you have enough arrows.
>still doesn't get itLOL
>>97180096Wrong. A quiver holds 20 arrows.
>>97180122Wrong.
>>97180055>how many-Enough, especially if you're picking up arrows and emptying enemy quivers, an easy task to do while everyone else is otherwise looting.>but-No, really, that's all that needs to be said. There's a whole slew of activities and actions that adventurers perform that don't really need much attention drawn to them.Do you clean your blades after every battle, wiping all the blood off? Do you repair your armor after every successful attack? Do you piss and shit? I bet you've never even brushed your teeth.

>>97180024Are you happy with what you are painting?Maybe try airbrushing or get into printing just to spice things up.
>>97179733>picThat is some legit terrain! Looks like foam pieces glued together with a basing texture slapped on and then painted? I've done a little of that so far but largely am 3d printing my terrain mostly because work keeps me pretty busy and enjoy the painting side of it the most. At the rate I've been printing things, I have a huge painting backlog now.
>>97178696tamiya sells to gundam modellers so I don't think it's accurate to say they only sell 50 shades of od.
>>97179681I think people actually way overuse bare metal in their paint schemes. maybe less so for fantasy, but for anything modern you almost never have metal that isn't painted or blued or something on military hardware. I complained about this before but leadbelcher is the number 1 offender because it doesn't even look like what people probably want it to represent.
I think it needs darker shading
Previous thread: >>97011891GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by using the image. Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.If you're wondering where to start:- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.- How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.- GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.Thread question: How often does Bulk come up in your games? What do you do to make it interesting?
>>97179361I suppose so. I was more annoyed about failing the HT check to not die than having to roll in the first place lol
>>97179375Yeah the dice were brutal, and LT armor just doesn't hold up against people with 2d damage.
>>97179390>LT armor just doesn't hold up against people with 2d damage.true, the chance to roll like more than double of the DR means any attack can just cut right through it.
>>97179361>One of those gamey things that both doesn't make sense in real combat and just feels like bad taste when the GM pulls it.Sure it does, you have to make sure your adversary is dead
>>97179446Most people are convinced they're dead or out of the action the moment the guy falls over. You don't exactly get the luxury of stopping to line up a good shot, of which you're still not really confident in making (50/50 shot since it's a ESL 9) in an active melee.

>>97170738it's not retarded if you keep moving from the sunny deck down to the dark hold where there are no lights and back again all the fucking timethe only thing retarded about it is singling out pirates specifically, it's equally useful for all sailors in that context
>>97169901If you had an eyepatch on one eye, and it was used to the dark, and the other one was used to the light... and then you went below the deck and switched the eyepatch so that you look with the eye used to the dark...When you came back up BOTH OF YOUR FUCKING EYES WOULD BE USED TO THE DARK MORONS HOLY FUCK REDDIT IDIOTS I AM GOING TO EXPLODE MY BRAIN
Why is it that so many fantasy writers make their evil cults unjoinable by anyone with a functioning brain cell? Like why would you worship Orcus, whose goal is omnicide? Why would you worship Tzeentch if he’s probably gonna screw YOU over as part of his grand plan?What makes it so bizarre to me is that, firstly, it’s not like they need to be so off-putting to be evil. Orcus is a demon of undeath, his followers want to turn their enemies into the undead. Tzeentch wants the world to be in a constant cycle of chaos, his followers are gonna be masterminding world wars.Secondly, it’s not like we don’t have plenty of examples of real-world evil cults. A lot of cults in the West don’t follow Super-Duper-Mega-Murder Satan, but are fucked-up offshoots of Christianity. Historically, goetia was practiced by people who would’ve still called themselves Christians, while committing rituals to summon and get boons from demons. Plenty of human cultures used to sacrifice humans to their gods, not to summon them to kill everyone or some shit, but to honor and/or appease them.Like to use another example from Warhammer, I think Nurgle and Khorne present more “approachable” evil cults. Nurgle is toxic positivity, and his love will take all the pain away. Khorne is wrapped up in enough language about honor to lure people in.Like to rework an evil deity, let’s pick Lamashtu. Instead of “We love ugliness and miscarriages and also you get to die in childbirth”, the cult targets vulnerable young women and lures them in with divine feminine language (“You have the power to bear and raise great beasts”), while promising the young men of monstrous races frustrated living among humans that what they’re scorned for is what makes them powerful (and also they get to have sex with pretty girls).
>>97161286This.
>>97164719This entire thread is all about how cults major evil goals are hidden from the public who are too stupid to realize it. > Church of Satan has nothing to do with real satanism.They literally have the name above the doorframe, and we still have idiots saying, "It's not real Satanism". So yeah, people are idiots who join cults regularly. Even when it is blatantly obvious.
>>97175937Same thing that the guys get out of turning themselves into soldiers and suicide bombers for a losing army. They got radicalized into believing this is what Allah wants them to do.
>>97160877>A lot of cults in the West don’t follow Super-Duper-Mega-Murder Satanthey do now, young people are literally MKultraing themselves into becoming mass killers through telegram cults

>In the game Werewolf: The Apocalypse, the Garou (werewolves) were made to defend the earth from the cosmic forces that threaten to tear it apart. The Garou fight against the Wyrm, the destroyer. It is a struggle against nearly insurmountable odds, especially considering the rivalry between many tribes. These rivalries make it almost impossible for the werewolves to present a unified front against a cosmic force that pervades reality.>From this morass of hatred and mutual betrayal, there is little hope that the Garou can emerge triumphant against a foe so well armed as the Wyrm. The Wyrm promises money, power, sex, and whatever else the heart desires to its followers while the Garou receive no reward for their striving. It drives them deeper and deeper into despair, or into betrayal so deep that they choose to serve the Wyrm instead.Main Rulebooks:>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Rulebookhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Rulebook>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Second Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Second_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Revised Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Revised_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_20th_Anniversary_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition Corebookhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_5th_Edition_CorebookComment too long.
