Not sure what that anon's workflow is, but you can start right now. There's a bit of a learning curve, but to just kitbash stuff in Blender is pretty easy.
Get Blender, learn basic UI, get the files (you can work directly with .stl files), and just do stuff. If you are just printing minis, you don't need to give a fuck about geometry. If you want to just do basic stuff, you can probably do with just a slicer software for the printer. If you want to do complex stuff, you might look into sculpting. Blender sculpting tools are okay and mostly enough, but if you enjoy it, I would recommend pirating ZBrush somewhere.

It's a piece of cardboard that many companies are selling to idiots to bolster their income fro mtheir games. Of coruse sold separately. Early DnD was all about useless merch, and this one can be made for any game of choice.
Most games rightfully dropped it, but the ones geared for fleecing their own consumers (won't even call them customers) will be selling it.

>>97211999
What a tragic waste of good trips
Also: if you need a secret roll, roll the dice in a cup and don't lift the cup until you need that outcome. If you don't understand why it's the best possible way of handling it, you might be retarded.
Everything else is in your own notes (reminder to never write more than a single A4 page, no matter fucking what)
>b-but rules
Not a single GM screen contains useful informations, especially when it comes to rules. It always lists basic shit that you will know after reading the book and not having room temperature IQ.
>>
>>97211837
Nta but the other anon already said that: virtually NOBODY prints those anymore for quite a while. You are either left with games that pull "muh tradition" (of selling useless merch), games who's creators are dumb enough to think this is an actual tradition and a handful of games that try to squeeze maximum buck out of a one-time buyer (so they are part of a "starter" kit that costs extra and consists of useless shit that looks catchy for a newfag).
I'm in this hobby since the tail end of the 90s. I saw "industrial grade" screens grand total of thrice, all three on official promo events. I saw people use screens of any sort only a couple of times, and each and every time it was the same story: someone had no clue how to handle a secret roll, so they did the dumbest thing possible and rolled behind a cover, then stated the outcome.
>>
>>97214597
>All that shit
That's just your opinion, man.
Some people like having resources for a session. Some people like keeping shit hidden. It's all a matter of personal opinion and preferences.

A good GM screen should have a bunch of tables for on the fly ass pulls.
>>
>>97214648
Why would you need to buy a printed one to know what it is? The idea comes up often enough in almost any discussion about tabletop RPGs that even non-players will learn what they are quickly enough, and a decent proportion of pdf downloads (legal or not) come with them.
>>
>>97211997
>>97214648
Yet again, the question was "what is that?" and the reply why "have you ever engaged with the hobby" because screens are not new and not unheard of. We're not talking about who uses them or how not every game has one. Just the fact that they are a common enough thing to know of if you're actually in the hobby. I've run games for a couple decades now and don't use one, but I know what they are and why they exist.

Magic has to be common, explainable, but complicated, logical, yet visually beautiful. It should take little time to use small spells, but a lot to make something grand, like a construct or a flesh golem.

Look at classic fantasy like Gandalf in LOTR, Willow, Conan, even Greek Myth, etc. magic is NOT stupid superhuman power shit. Look at Gandalf even in the MOVIES, the most powerful thing he did was blow his pipe smoke into the shape of a boat and turn his staff into a flashlight

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:

Shouldn't have to "fix" anything. I want OSRIC to be an AD&D retroclone, not interested in Matt's House Rules or having to go through the rulebook looking for what I need to undo to actually play AD&D. Those changes are a deal breaker for me.

>Can't happen. Lawyer shit.
Nah, that's bullshit. OSE-Classic didn't have to make any changes at all.

And the changes Finch has made to the Monk are to "fix" it because he thinks it's too powerful and difficult to qualify for, he's said as much in interviews and even in the OSRIC 3 rulebook. He didn't have to change the Paladin, Ranger, Druid, or Assassin, so there's no legal reason why he would have had to change the Monk.

What's the best version of BRP?
I hear that it has pretty quick and lethal combat, and is very much for more grounded games, which is the kind of games I prefer to run. I also really enjoyed the fanmade Fallout PnP system that used percentile dice, and the combat in that.
However I am also aware that apparently Chaosium released newer versions that apparently were bad.
Which one is good?
>>
I don't think the new editions are bad. They do have more options and try to cover more universal ground, which may or may not be just useless bloat to you, especially considering that is all in the default character sheets.
Since you like lethal and grounded combat, you could also look into Mythras as an even more lethal and combat focused D100 game alternative.

The best parasites don't kill their hosts. Also the math just doesn't math on Elders needing to stack the bodies up high just to function on the night to night. It strains the credulity of the Masquerade immensely, especially when you remember that human populations used to be much smaller.

V5 doesn't understand many things, logistics is one of them. The world prior to the 21st Century is another. It certainly doesn't understand how things like surveillance states and intelligence agencies actually operate. The big issue with V5's vampires is they're so non-functional that one finds it hard to believe they didn't go extinct a long time ago.

For the record Blood Potency was fine... in Requiem, where it worked differently and was part of a universal rubric to determine how potent a supernatural being was. I'd go so far as to say that if we were just talking about Requiem's blood potency, you could mix it with generation and have a generational min-max potency and it'd work relatively fine as a compromise. The problem is V5 loved cribbing things from Requiem that worked without understanding WHY they worked.

I am so terrified of my players pointing out magical realm that my NPCs generally point the exact opposite direction, meaning we have settings full of tittymonsters who treat other people with respect.

>>97217068
So I want you to imagine my kobold leader--she's a stunningly sexy draconic little vixen. Something like pic related, even with a red dragon great-great-grandfather She flirts and teases mercilessly during combat, focusing on her illusion and enchantment powers (she's a mighty sorceress) as well as water and ice (her staff). She's also evil to the core, and wants to conquer the neighboring towns to enslave them.

The party fights her, and after battling their way through minions and illusions and mind control and water control, overpower her. easily She starts pleading for mercy, but they're so mad they decide to have some fun at her expense.

They stuff her magic staff down her throat and activate it. Her eyes bug out and she gurgles something about not knowing what they're doing. Water starts cascading down her throat, filling her up, They hold her over her own lava pit, like a marshmallow. Being distantly related to a red dragon, she's resistant to the fire damage--but not to getting warm in general.

All that heat turns the water to steam, and her body starts to bloat unevenly, especially in her tits and ass which get bigger and bigger. She screams for mercy, barely intelligible through the staff stuffed down her throat, earning a good round of laughs. She locks eyes with the bard woman holding her, terror on her face before she explodes in a gory mess.

Maxx "C" getting limited is kind of crazy for the OCG. Metamorphosis getting unbanned will probably also be cool. The rest I don't care about.

Ash getting Semi'd isn't gonna be as big of a fucking deal as people make it out to be. But I do think that's what they should do being for fully generic handtraps when they start reaching prominence. The card's load-bearing so you don't want to ban it or see it at 1 copy, but you also get fatigued of seeing it at 3 copies.

All you really need is a team, some dice and a pitch to play on. The templates are a convenience that you can just work without and the rules should be easy enough to find online.
Even the dice, you don't really need any more than 3x D6 if you can translate the block results into numbers and the D12/D16 aren't needed for exhibition matches.
