GW kept mentioning space marines or even primarchs coupling with regular human women and it always took me out of it. Like how the fuck? Wouldn't she get ripped in half? But then it dawned on me. They just have tiny penises. Well not by human standards, but relative to body-size. Like think about it, why would you supersize the dick too when there literally do not exist women big enough to handle that size? So the simplest explanation is they just keep the penis size of a regular human.
>>97172457Coupling? I've never seen it mentioned, Primarchs or Astartes. Fulgrim had a marriage I think, but it was based on politics. The Astartes know about sex, but don't understand it and their dicks don't work. And they probably have massive cawks.Merry Christmas everyone!
>>97172457>Wouldn't she get ripped in half?If you care to look you can find videos of women fucking horses.
>>97177010...Why would you look for that.And not just the women.
>>97172457Aren't Space Marines essentially eunuch/vocel monks?
>>97178214Fulgrim had a wife, Guilliman has chicks flirting with him.

>>97178090In the 3050s the Taurians and Capellans and WoB for some reason all took turns selflessly advancing the MoC despite getting nothing in returnHell, the MAF pulled several mech regiments out of thin air at that time
>>97178090the favorite whore of every CO of every significant military outfit has citizenship in MoC. It’s become a galaxy wide version of “stop scaring the Bitches”
>>97178001The various authors of BT can't write for shit, the fact they removed the inner sphere abillity to produce interesting shit like HPGs and warships while the clans can still produce them speaks of the sheer amount of favorism they have.If I could rewrite he lore, Clan Wolf would've died when the Falcons absorbed them, Comstar would've become a major faction and clan-tech would become standard for the IS militaries by 3151. But then again, any retard could write better that the shitshow that was the Jihad
I always found it weird that D&D was maligned as witchcraft, satanism, and anti-social. From what I can tell, TTRPGs just increase sociability, problem solving, conscientiousness, and probably improves self-concept through skills and self-esteem. Did any anons here live through Bothered About Dungeons and Dragons or the Satanic Panic? Sorry if this is boring or repetitive to others, but I want to study the social aspects of TTRPGs and how it exists as a subculture. I think, by and large, this is the best board on 4chan because people really care about this hobby and want to help others get into it. Despite the shitposting, I think the community is vibrant and the games I played through Find a Game threads were all filled with genuine, nice people. So it irks me that the Satanic Panic tried to paint subcultures as evil. Maybe it's because people think TTRPGs overlap with extreme music or just teenage entertainment in general.
>>97178055The daycare panic started with a woman with literal schizophrenia who then died so no one could realize it was schizoid non-sense
>>97176749>But I just find moralising over a fantasy TTRPG absurdly funnyThis isn't happening, that was fucking 40 years agoCan't you find something in 2025 to be righteous about?It's really cool that you want people to praise your moral values, but saying "boy those people burning witches 1000 years ago were WRONG! Isn't it wrong?" Is retardedPick some real moral battles of today, that can be contested, instead of picking moral winning sides from 40 years ago that nobody disgrees with
>>97176942This.>>97177266lol, that's rich coming from an elfgames player
>>97176699Remember this was 40 years ago. Even the core of elder Millennials who still browse this board were babies or not born yet. And in hindsight I can feel bad for some dumb housewife looking for answers after her son blew his brains out. And weirdly enough there's a lot of interesting rabbitholes you can go down with regards to satanism. The Finders being stumbled upon by a Florida detective and a customs guy and the feds burying the case. The army's top psychological warfare expert being high priest of the Temple of Set. The Moloch statue in Bohemian Grove. Epstein island. Horrible occult murders(Elyse Pahler, the Nightstalker in LA, etc). I'm not necessarily implying a conspiracy, but it is interesting how Evangelical dorks always crop up make anyone concerned about the occult look ridiculous by picking random pop culture shit to tilt at (DnD, Pokemon, Taylor Swift, etc).
>>97178107He who forgets the past is doomed to repeat it.
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?

>>97177398Why do you call group initiative "BECMI initiative system" when it's when it was introduced twelve years earlier in Chainmail and is the rule in AD&D and B/X as well?
>>97176754Just blob monsters together.1 mini = 5 monsters of the same type.Each mini has the combined hp and all the attacks of all its monsters, but will decrease its number of attacks as you decrease it's hp, for instance if that type of monster has 5 hp and you deal 5 hp, then it deals one less attack per turn.
>>97177420"BECMIS group initiative system" because it was used in becmi and i know it from there.
>>97177509Got it. Now you know. (And you should really read B/X and the DMG since you haven't yet. They're both great for different, sometimes opposite reasons.)
>>97177673You dont need to wank off the DMG and BX. Sure BX is great, i have the combined hardcover POD and its my go to for oneshots and shorter campaigns, but theyre tools you shouldnt be beholden to. I use the Becmi RC for long form campaigns, its a wonderful book.
>mass produces spell scrollsretards will say "NOO U CAN'T DO THAT CUZ U JUST CAN'T OK!!!"how will wizard survive this economic change
In the end you realize that magic, like power, is quite relative. Relative to accessibility, so too.The true wizards at the end of the day are those of mastery and vision. Geniuses. They make new worlds. New Paradigms. Such as whoever decided to mass produce scrolls.Eventually everyone gets access to the magic, and the magic becomes something else.
Murder all literate people, keep a monopoly on knowing how to read and write.
>>97145673>Easy fix for DMs:"Hi Hello, we're the government of the country you live in, please stop mass producing magic scrolls, it's illegal.""The economy? who gives a shit about that? if you do this, then the poors will have weapons they can use against us, the landed nobility. Also our enemies in other countries might get them. So stop. Or else.""The else being that we'll imprison you, and then we'll publicly geld you.">As shrimple as that>Captcha is DMPP2X

>>97153424>4e>Dont have any, not possible.It is possible, just that the only spells that can be scribed into scrolls are Rituals.
How do you guys like this game? I’ve read a good chunck of the setting and there are some problems;> “Everything is fucked…except only the inner rim because the gay space communism in the rim is great”> consistent dark text on dark background > HEAVY crunchI’ve mitigated a bit by using the FATE system conversion and making the setting a bit more nuanced but outside of those the setting seems rather unique. And given it’s all basically free it’s a good deal even with the “in your face” nature of the politics. But what do you fa/tg/uys think?
I'd rather read a game by a commie than by a centrist neoliberal.
>>971781361e or 2e? I think it has great ideas but is ultimately ruined by le singularity monsters and ayys
>>97178152That’s fine, but when it’s overly obnoxious to the point of undermining the point of the game it’s detrimental. Even a game like Disco Elysium made by the most theory thumping tanky can realize the flaws inherent in a system. Compounding that with a near extinction level event and persistent problems with other factions and its a shame to not also make the obvious decentralized nature of varying groups a Boone and detriment in the setting (sure you’ll be all for one one for all when a major polity rolls in, but you’re #1 target for criminals who don’t want to mess with the big boys)
>>97178203That's actually a really interesting point. Thanks anon!
>>97178136That art vividly reminded me of pic related. And now I wish Starfinder were good.

Silly question but how do I attach my non-adhesive sanding paper to my sanding block? It doesn't have velcro so I can't really use velcro tape
>>97177943I bought the Army Painter set because I wanted a good variety of colors, and it seemed like a good buy. Based on my experience, I can now say that some of their paints are good, but many of them are so bad that I can barely use them. In my kit, the paints that were unusable were replaced with Vallejo or AK.

It's kinda sad the current waste potential of the game's lore. Ok, got it, devs are aiming for a mudcore between the classical factions of the abrahamic religions.But imagine how could would be adding an "Interpretatio Graeco-Romana" to them (I mean, right now Irish pagans exist in the lore as good guys). Example: Beelzebub>for abrahamics >the "lord of flies" >the second after Satan (Ares? (Satan - adversary in hebrew; Ares - ruin, curse in doric)>lord of Ekron, destroyer of Avignon>creator of plagues>for his followers> Ba’al Zebûl, "Lord of the Heavenly Dwelling">Zeus Myiagros, protector against plagues and flies, patron of doctors and cures>Greco-Roman God or eu-demon ("good spirit")Comment too long.

Dunk On 'Em Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.>How do I get started?All the files are free online:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/Comment too long.

>>97177715Sure, I'm working on three different warbands so here's some various minis from them. Starting off with my House of Wisdom takwin homunculus that will be kitted out with Massive Size, Human Hands, Terrifying Appearance, Startling Speed and two swords. The mini has placeholder weapons from one of my Court Hellknights right now while the swords are getting a second layer of base paint as i brainfarted en completely forgot to base them when i did the last batch.
>>97177818One of my two Yoke Fiends for said Court warband.
>>97177821And the Castigator for my Trench Pilgrims.
>>97177827That's one regal pilgrim
>>97177870My idea for my Pilgrim warband is that they are a convent of nuns gone full crusade-mode. I'm gonna use all-female models with max amount of stigmatic nuns.They are The Nuns of Gavaronne
Like, the feel of gritty black-and-white screen-printed books. Simple and pulpy with that semi-woodcut-looking art.Cairn? Shadowdark? Who wins here on aesthetic grounds

>>97178187>kike game
>>9717646295% of getting the dungeon synth feel is GM descriptions and player involvement. You'd want rules that reward exploration and skill use. You don't want too much combat, barely any in fact but when it happens it has to be meaningful
What is it about? Why is it interesting? Should I care about it?
>>97158568No one except FMF cared, which is why they changed the maps in late 2E.
>>97133885Greyhawk was the default setting for D&D.It fell out of favor in 3e for equal parts retarded and awesome.3e's Greyhawk setting was a living setting that's world state and current history was shaped through official organized play sessions with characters, adventure outcomes, and major plots evolving from those sessions. This was some god tier stuff. In an effort to gatekeep the hell out of it, there was no official online database and event organizers kept the current events as tightly guarded as nuclear launch codes. It isn't uncommon for 3e players to be completely unaware of the events going on. The Living Greyhawk idea even extended to locales tied to your IRL physical locations. So your party of chucklefucks out of Florida were doing shit on the other side of Greyhawk completely independent of some other party in Washington state also having their own adventures. This shit was meticulously documented and would influence the overall plot and final adventure state of big official convention games that your crew might even be a part of if you made it there. Your characters were also vetted through all of this.It was possibly one of the biggest shared gaming states in the history of table top and it was so heavily guarded in the earlier days of the Internet a lot of it has been lost to time.
>>97170663Do you have any summary documents of the big finale for these events? Like, how did they influence the campaign setting?
>>97170663>It fell out of favor in 3e for equal parts retarded and awesome.Maybe I'm just misunderstanding you but Greyhawk really lost favor in 2e, even though they kept publishing a book or two for it now and then. 3E was what brought Greyhawk back in as the default setting, that's why they did Living Greyhawk and all. What really undermined it was the FR campaign setting hardback selling way beyond expectation, IIRC, so they de-facto switched back to 2E's use of FR as the default setting and continued to barf out a truckload of supplements for it in the best 2E style.>>97172976NAYRT but I don't think there was ever a big finale, it was just allowed to fizzle out.
Forgotten Realms has become so oversaturated at this point, there really isn't anything left to cover.I hope that Greyhawk's new write-up in the 2024 DMG means that we may get a few new books. Give us a new Campaign Setting book and a couple of different region books.I would love to see a resurgence of Greyhawk as a setting.
