Welcome to the New School Revolution General, the thread dedicated to games derived from the OSR movement.>What is NSR?>NSR is a subcategory of the OSR, it mostly follows the same play style but experiments further with the mechanics and settings.>Broadly NSR games have a gm, a living world, are rules light, deadly and focus on emergent narrative, interaction and exploration.>What is this thread NOT for?Meta discussions or drama of the games and its creators aka shadowboxing with twitter, reddit and the OSRG (frens with osrbros)>stay on topic>gamesShadowdark, into the odd, mausritter, cairn, mörk borg (and its hacks), dungeon crawl classics, mothership, knave, troika!, whitehack, blackhack, old school essentials (we know this is just a retroclone), etc. >links, resources, more games!, etc:https://pastebin.com/0W8WmbCk (BROKEN we're working on it) Comment too long.

>>97177386>use the retarded catchphrases only one guy uses>I'm definitely not the same guy though>I admit that I did at least half the stuff I'm accused of howeverlmaoYou know what, I used to think separating the generals was stupid but now I approve of it just so you personally stay asshurt.
>>97177627I've said it before and I'll say it again: Fishfag is such an odious and revolting piece of subhuman refuse that he's managed to accomplish the unthinkable: bring peace between OSRfags and NSRfags.
>>97177386You really shouldn't have engaged with the trollcow. Posting character sheets just convinced him that people are actually reading his posts and bothering to care what he thinks.
My memory is failing me; the book containing this page should be somewhere at my puter, but I cannot remember its title at all.
>>97178164Looks like an issue of Knock to me. Shouldn't take you too long to flip to page 46 of each one to check.
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.

>>97173034*SUCH massive fags.oops
>>97160886>abrahamic religions.Burn with fire.
>>97160886>durr they're wasting the potential i'm retarded btwOkay, ask for them to add it then. Are you autistic? Start a petition. If enough people want it, they'll make rules and models for it.>I think many people loves more Hellenism than abrahamismESL freak

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
>feeeeeel
>>97178209>no arguments>desperate shitting and reeingOkay then. NSR games are still explicitly not OSR games.
>>97178241I'm asking if you call yourself a faggot.I assume you don't, and yet...
>>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.
I love minis and so should you :)post your favorite minis or minis that you think are terrible

>>97166689Wizard with Submachine gun by Knucklebones Miniatures. It is distributed as an STL.I wish I knew of a recaster of the metal wizard with machine gun, but pic related will have to do. "I'm out of mana for spells but not yet out of shells."
>>97175409It works really well for chain of command which is the game I play. I do have some multi-based minis though for machine guns

>>97168491>gothamchess/agadmator/pegasuschess.I don't think it's fair to group Levy in with those two. Obviously Danya's a far stronger player and far far better youtuber, but it's unfair to call Levy talentless when he is an IM.>>97168971My favorite chess memory was getting stalemated around a friends house in a hopelessly lost position.

>>97176176I made my 5e table switch to 3.5. We've been having so much fun.Perks of being a forever-DM!
>>97172186But I'm a fag and some of my players are trans, and we all prefer 3.5 over PF?Does that mean we get our gay cards revoked?
>>97175865Does that mean all generals on the board can be merged?
>>97174154>your melee character won't even be able to pin any of these opponents to a fight without caster support.This is essentially the problem with the entire conversation, and comes up in these white room theory discussions. The party is supposed to work with and support each other; its the unfortunate autists who can not comprehend teamwork.>>97175638>5eAnon, that shit was a thing back in 1e.In fact, the players were not supposed to roll their own perception based checks, only told if they saw something or not.>>97177151This.

>>97177185>>97177210Kiro no Kawa was already very aware of Ai due to her nature as the Demon of the Evils of Love, Yanderes are very much her domain even if Ai's bloodline isn't one that she created herself (Ai does not have Evil Star). What she became aware of watching through Kohaku's eyes is that Ai and Kaoru also care for one another, which she wanted to drive a wedge into to 'help' Ai get rid of distractions to her obsession. Kiro no Kawa is also aware that Kaoru has a crush of her own, but is not aware that Ai knows about it, since that's not really related to her supernatural senses. She is also unaware that the HLA actually have their own plan to 'turn' Ai, so her helping them provoke her is a happy little accident.Saito Mimi's instructions are to spy on students, and cause problems for the student council. Her MO from her days as a serial pharmacist pill-swapper were to plant poisons and let people kill themselves, so that's the MO she's trying to use here. As someone who worked in an office, she's familiar with office/school email accounts and basic cybersecurity, as well as their vulnerabilities. In this case, her plan was to trawl the computer labs for computers left on and unattended, under the guise of hall monitoring/curfew checks. Kaoru may or may not be the only person she sent troll emails for to try and ruin their lives. A possible investigative angle Kaoru could take there.As for Kiro no Kawa's powers, her main offensive tool is her venom. In combat she can make it a paralytic, and outside of fights she can send little offshoot-worms to infect people with her 'love potion' venom to make them act unhinged, or use it like the 'Confuse' status in a video game. She's basically a status effect/support boss who supports lackey Yokai in battle.She's also the type of Yokai who loves to make deals and play games with mortals, especially where love or obsession are involved.
>when the DM says you have to draw a map
>>97175514>>97176321I draw rooms on the dry erase grid as they explore and erase them as they exit. Means the players still have to map and put the pieces together, no worries about bad descriptions, and a map is already on the table for combat. dungeons are easy to keep track of (until teleporters become a thing), but caves are difficult as hell (rightly so)! The first time my players used their map to find a secret room, they were ecstatic.

It's hard to take manlets seriously. Dwarves are the only ones who have at least a bit of the cool factor. Gnomes and halflings just suck.

Why was XP for gold largely abandoned as a way to reward players?
>>97178135"One more won't matter" is exactly how we end up at a the current point where the GM has to make up half the game
>>97178141Pure hyperbole, it's not like GURPS has a single concrete method for awarding character points, and yet there's a pretty substantial number of rules
>>97178147The DM doesn't have to make up a lot of stuff in GURPS in general, though.
>>97178159You'd be surprised
>>97161391I've been doing it in my campaign and I'll tell you the reason: you need gold sinks or gold becomes meaningless with the amount of XP people need to level up. It also creates kind of a narrative dissonance between people sitting on literal fortunes and staying at a tavern or something. I'd say you almost wanna look to Cyberpunk as inspiration; the same way mercs spend their eddies can work for mercenaries spending their ducats.
