>>97195518why would a bunch if homeless bounty hunters care about aquilas on their equipment they either looted or bought from some shady dude?
>>97196430Why would they remove it in the first place?I mean unless they are heretics, even the random outlaw would still be an Imperial and have some faith in the Emperor.Since the Imperial Eagle is both an Imperial and Religious symbol it would be strange to remove it.

What is it about? Why is it interesting? Should I care about it?
>>97133885>What is it about?Dungeons and also some dragons >Why is it interesting?It's O.G>Should I care about it?Honestly, if you want to get into an old school setting you should go with Mystara. Whole planet + hollow earth with great maps that is still supported by fans to this day. File sizes too large to post here but check Atlas of Mystara. Old settings like these were just a jumping off point for the DM. Do not try to keep them 100% lore accurate. Get the maps and the general feel then change whatever you want.
>>97188099https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Valley_(California)Valleys can get pretty big.
>>97188051>>97188043I like the idea that the Keep is actually the same one as the one in Mystara, a la the Hodgson story.
>>97183937I'm with you on most of that but inherently evil orcs don't make sense. Either they're humanoids, and thus have free will. Or they aren't.
>>97195370Don't get me started on California! It's not even an island, let alone an enchanted island, let alone the one visited by Esplandian!Seriously though, the Central Valley is between one and two of the Greyhawk map hexes wide. Calling the Sheldomar a valley is like calling France a valley, it makes no sense.

>>97195590>colonial quagmireChina was never colonised and the state that became india wasn't even a state before the British went there, just warring little kingdoms ruled by turbo sadists. India is one of the few places where the intervention of ""DA EVIL COLONIZERS"" was actually the greatest boon imaginable to the people living there.
>>97196491Yeah anon, just shoving several different territories together was perfectly fine, nevermind mind the fact that as soon as the british fucked off, two countries segregated as soon as they could (Pakistan and Bangladesh) and only whoever was aligned with the british even had resources to do anything. Talk about complete bias.China was never colonised, but he meant in a way that they were barely industrialized after the communist revolution and needed work to grow like any other growing economy and they took all the work as quickly as they could.

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?

>>97196244you're right, i suppose it's backwards. i do that thing where i take the wording of thief abilities literally. when people say thieves start out underpowered...they can climb SHEER surfaces the vast majority of the time, that's absolutely insane on its own.i think of it more in book terms than in movie terms. the visuals/physics/mechanics of it don't matter so much, it's like a legend where the legendary thief Horatio Moneybags IV scaled the Tower of the Giraffe. cool.but something about hobbits...i dunno. just don't like it. odd inclusion.
Hey everyone, finally getting into the OSR and bought those nice looking green cover reprints of 2e PHB, DMG and MM plus the Birthright box. Anything else I need?
>>97196295I too dislike hobbits included as a standard fantasy race. Elves and dwarves find their origin (differing as they do from ol' JRRT) in myth, much like many npc races and monsters. But hobbits feel so signature to LotR that they seem out of place to me. Not only that, but their nature needed to be changed drastically, from fat village folk who fear anything or anyone unusual, to something more likely to spur them on to adventure. The hobbits from the books were extra exceptional, and would probably level cap at 4.

>>97193961>Neither John Boyega nor Kelly Marie Tran deserved that.And if he wouldn't cut some scenes out of the movie/production, Boyega would get worse.
>>97194948Yes. FFG's X-wing has been the best fighter/space(wel, might as well be air) combat game of the past ten years.
>>97196165Aren't the only decent elements of Ahsoka the parts with Baylan Skoll (RIP Ray Stevenson) and Shin Hati anyway? Definitely can't be anything about the titular character.
>>97196310Boyega as a person behaved like an idiot, mostly after TLJ.Finn, the character he played, was wasted in TLJ and TRoS after being set up as something at least a bit interesting in TFA.In the end, it all comes down to the godfawful writing of TLJ.TFA wasn't a great foundation,. but it was something. TLJ looked at what was there, turned around 350° and moonwalked off a clif.
>>97181931>It's not got anything egregiously bad about itEven ignoring plotholes and conveniences in the film, the entire premise makes no senseSomehow the republic that the heroes had just hard fought to achieve isn't interfering with the neo empire and is irrelevant? Somehow Luke alone can fix everything even though he was basically irrelevant in the battle for the second death star after the rebels had infiltrated it? It's just as bad as the other sequel movies.

>>97195983Seems reasonable.
>>97195902>enjoy your /tg/ hobbiesAn autumn person would never say this. There's still hope, ChangelingBros
In my current VtM game, I've got a oWoD diehard and a guy who primarily got into WoD via VtR and nWoD before settling back on VtM. The two of them talking has made me notice how your entry point into the setting seems to permanently color your perception of it.VtM guy...>Sees the setting as being about individuals doing things- he did, she did>Lots of focus on humanity, trying to cling to it, regain it, make it into a path, so on>Tends to be somewhat dismissive of the metaplot beyond a character hook or twoVtR guy...>Sees the setting as basically just supernatural politics- the Camarilla did, the Sabbat did>Your splat just determines where you fit in, but it's very "dry">Any mysticism is just another scam, as well as alternatives>You wanted to be human, you should have killed yourself yesterday>An odd tendency to refer to things as ascended fanonWhat's interesting to me is that they both openly prefer oWoD and play it near exclusively, but this has got me thinking about how similar VtR guy is to other people I've met. Stereotypes by splat is one thing, but some people seem to just carry assumptions from their first system forward into infinity. Any other traits I've missed or for other splats?
>>97196269More like you purposefully missed the forest for the trees just to give your opinion an air of validity.
>>97195902>PicEverything working just as planed...
Hrm. How would fa/tg/uys handle a PC that the player wants to play as a former war criminal? So according to my player his character did a lot of heinous shit during the war that ended about 10 years ago, but is now haunted by these terrible memories.The player is asking me for game mechanics to apply to this and I'm a little stumped. Some advice from you guys would be most welcome. On my own bat I figured since this is a fantasy world getting actually attacked by the ghosts of his victims would be appropriate, but I do I really want to give him the opportunity to kill them twice?
>>97189959Backstories are gay.
>>97191184CON save throw, dif. (usually 10 or 15) depends on the severity of the flashback, failure adds one levels of exhaustion. There.
>>97189959Level 1 doesn't have to be someone with no experience.>Guy hasn't touched a blade in those ten years>His skill, training, etc. have grown rusty from disuse>Even what he's still retained is questionable, due to his trauma over his atrocities>Whatever instigated him taking up the blade again was enough go push a little bit more than the past's hold on him>He, at some part deep down, remembers the stuff up to whatever "level" equivalent he was in the war>Leveling up is his body remembering how to fight, and his mind honing it away from the purpose he once wielded it for
>NOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO START AT LEVEL 1 EVERY CAMPAIGN!>NOOOOOOO LEVEL 1 CHARACTERS LITERALLY HAVE NEVER FOUGHT ANYTHING IN THEIR LIFE EVERWhat causes this retardation?
>>97196308The retarded rules of D&D. Play a better game.
In my games, high level wizards turn to stone.
>>97195417Cool that you're playing games, but what do you want from us? A gold star?
>>97195417In my games, high level wizards turn into lolis.
>>97196344In my games, high level wizards are lolis.
>>97196160To be fair, Byakuren aka the White Lotus guy, is basically a xianxia character who's literally a demigod.
in my game, high level wizards become fully delitized and love it.
Like who can anyone paint with these range?It sucks.Metals are fine.
>>97193455Dark colors are better than lighter colors: with lighter colors tending towards being either chalky or too metallic tasting, with reds/pinks being particularly foul.Abyssal Blue, African Shadow, and Black Forest Green should be reserved for true connoisseurs, not just your casual "oh fuck I drank out of the wrong cup" neophytes.
>>97193657I prefer making my own blends.My current favorite is a delightful mix I like to call "Sludgewater Brown".Delectable.
>>97192482I have a few of them I really like the cherry wood flavor it looks pretty
>>97192482Reaper paints really suck too. Kinda amazing Army Painter managed to survived until their current range dropped. Once you got over the novelty of primer colors besides white/gray/black, you realized their paints had this weird gummy texture and shit coverage. Pro Acryl seemed super promising early on since they made a non-chalky white, but they totally dropped the ball with their metallics and washes. And they keep sending emails about a new color called "wizard's butt" like it's the funniest shit in the world.
>>97192837Why do you lie about touching paints? You have never worked on any art, models or otherwise.>>97196424I like Reaper. At least their pale skin range is the best I've used.
What is the general consensus on this? Is the 2d20 mechanic dogshit? Am I better off using one of the many Fallout homebrews or something like Exodus or Ashes Without Number?
>>971878382d20 is good as a system, but the content inside of it is bad. You need to be level 10 to take the cannibal perk, most things are based on Fallout 4, including stuff like everything being immune to radiation damage because Bethesda was too incompetent to figure out a way to have mutants in a toxic waste dump without them periodically dropping dead
the range system is clunky nonsense
>>97192166>>97192202In ConanHow do you manage treasure?How much treasure do your players get from an adventure?The manual says you should avoid giving over 15 gold for player or something like that.
>>97187838For the most part? Fun, if you can put up with its silliness. The core book’s layout is terrible, with rules scattered all over the place. I loaded my copy up with labeled post-its and I still have trouble finding shit sometimes. The whole system needed like another year or two of playtesting. The balance is wonky. Shotguns are the most egregious example, they are busted beyond belief. We found out when I re-created the Mister Handy Character depicted on its Origin page. Absolute monster, we ended up having to nerf the Spread/Vicious/Piercing mechanics twice. And even then I was still exploding Yao-Guais and quest bosses in one to two shots. I ended up suiciding mean old Bobbi-Sue the Redneck Miss Nanny with a Mini Nuke blast. Unfortunately said blast also roasted our tank, played by my brother. Mostly cause our GM rolled super high for the one stupid raider not in the thing’s blast radius. He shot it out of the air and roasted everyone in the complex except for himself. It was hilarious. Anyways, back on topic, a lot of other stuff was also blatantly ripped from Fallout 4 without much thought. NPCs in adventures act like NPCs in a Bethesda Fallout game, not like people. Legendary weapons seem broken as hell and we’ve agreed not to touch those. The Two-Fer effect especially, good god.Now, all that being griped, I like the core mechanics of the action point/2d20 system a lot. It’s very satisfying. Especially when the players have more incentive to give the GM action points because of the daring nature perk (seriously don’t be afraid to do that, it makes shit much more dynamic). Perks feel a bit tight but I’m sure that’s by design. And you level up much faster in this than say 5e. So the pinch isn’t quite as bad as it looks. Spending perks on stat boosts also feels pretty okay because it means more action points for yourself and everyone. My Grade? Solid B. (Whoever’s responsible for this new captcha should be raped.)
>>97187838It tries very, very hard to ape Fallout 4/76. Unfortunately, those games kind of suck.
I'm running a battle soon - main opponent is a beserker werewolf. I like to use music as background, but most of battle ambient is:- swords clanging- too epic- annoying vocalsI found this, but maybe fa/tg/uys can recommend something less digital-y and similarly visceral?Thankshttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QHRuTYtSbJQ&list=RDQHRuTYtSbJQ&start_radio=1&pp=ygUTS2lsbGVyIEluc3RpbmN0IG9zdKAHAdIHCQk6CgGHKiGM7w%3D%3D
>>97190916you mean something like this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOsFQ-VUeMw
Not bad, yet berserker will be killing in this encounter. Only BFG seems to have that combat "oomph" (but too digital for berserker). Other stuff is too lethargic. Love the Heilung tho. Am storing it for other occasion.
>- swords clanging>- too epic>- annoying vocalsFUCK YOU OP.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWM2KHuIwe0do you mean industrial, or what? i'd say Sebastian Komor's different projects:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfVT0tNUYvobut maybe that's too>digtaland>vocalsjust stick on the Matrix Reloaded or Shadow of the Colossus OST.
>>97195524MELT is pretty good. Shadow of the Collosus has that japanese weeewoo sounds. Nah. This is beserker wrath vibe and BFG has it - no vocals, pure brutality. Its a bit too digital, but at the end I may use it.
