Why can't Druids wield bows? >bow: wood>arrow: wood>arrowhead: bone or flintEven crossbows can be made wholly of wood and shoot bone-tipped bolts. If anything, making these things actually requires very good understanding of trees and properties of wood. Regardless of all that, the whole non-metal theme is a meme. If you can cook stuff in a bronze cauldron, you should be allowed to use a bronze helmet too.
>>97361976>In my honest opinion, "Druid" would be better off as a subclass of Cleric, thematically.Great opinion. Beaten to it by at least 48 years in D&D. But you knew that already.>Also, what's with the exception for Scimitars?>SehaineWhat sort of answer is that? "Character published in 1992 is the reason that druids could use scimitars in 1977." You pretend D&D is le bad and you don't know they're clerics but then you pull a character like Sehaine out of thin air as a reason for scimitars which is also a D&D specific fact. Something doesn't add up in your post.

>>97366280You sound like a faggot that does nothing but dick ride things you like with no actually ability to conceptualize that things you like might have some negatives. Maybe try thinking critically about how the actual design of the gameplay and realize that while getting dicked over is part of the experience, it does offer a sizable disincentive to actually experimenting with aspects of the game if there is exactly one event that under no uncertain terms says "Thanks for playing with various aspects of the game, enjoy being killed with no recourse during the section of the game that is designed to deprive you of resources before you get crushed to death".When your prefrontal cortex develops more and you can think about the various aspects of game design, I look forward to how you defend this fuck ass event.

In my own Traveller setting, the party has just learned that in their arms race to discover FTL communication before the Mormons, they have unleashed a chain of psionic events that could culminate in the destruction of society and the creation of our other fantasy setting, thousands of years in the future.My setting is pretty retarded.
>>97358565>How does that work in setting? Fluff-wise I mean?Only high level Hyperspace Physicists and Mathematicians could begin to explain it, and no matter what they tell you, extended study of the subject leaves a person noticeably less sane than when they began.According to them, in very simple explanations, Hyperspace travelling ships need a sentient mind in the same way an ocean-going ship needs a rudder. The rudder isn't aware of what it itself is doing, it doesn't need to move, it doesn't need to understand how the sails or engines or turbines function. Of course, that doesn't really make too much sense, but anything more takes a few years of university lectures or twenty hours of mind-numbing youtube videos, just to reach an initial understanding that Hyperspace is on some level, definitely psychic, but saying that right away to someone on the street makes the experts sound like quacks."Brain in a jar," stuff does weird with Hyperspace. The hyperspace drive turns on, does its stuff, the ship jumps away and... It doesn't reach the destination. Maybe it went somewhere else. Maybe it never left hyperspace. If, when, it's spat out, the ship is twisted, distorted. Or sometimes the ship is spat right back out a few seconds later, exactly where it entered, totally unharmed, except the, living "brain-in-a-jar," is totally gone, vanished, despite not being connected to anything beyond basic life support...The background psychic stuff is so that the setting has some rules to justify why 18m mecha are the most efficient ways of fighting, why mass AI drones won't take over, why super ace pilots are so valuable.The real deep lore explanation is that: Aliens from a higher dimension explored our realm for some purpose, they changed the laws of our reality to make their stuff work. Giant mecha were their form of astronaut suits. Hyperspace was their creation. Earth was part of their experiments.
>>97364984>bombarding their problems from orbit?How can you get anything from a location if it's just a smoking crater?Also meat will always be cheaper and more flexible than steel. You can throw a bunch of men at a problem and they can adapt. Robots might run into unforseen problems that could be overlooked. Meanwhile humans you know how they can act normally, what can and can't kill them and there's always more to throw into a problem. Sometimes even with an air of plausible deniability
Previous thread: >>97295718GURPS 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: what's the best classic GURPS cover art?
90% of unofficial GURPS content now seems to just be one extremely autistic guy who is trying to stat the entire past from the carboniferous to the cold war.Why aren't there more people like that? You can't convince me that the GURPS fanbase is lacking the necessary level of autism. There should be dozens of obsessive-compulsive loons writing up every steam locomotive, or species of butterfly, or something.

Should an elven wizard be more powerful on average than a human one? Explain your answer.
In my setting, Elves age at the same rate as the other races, while still being immortal, they just all fuck off to other places in search of power and glory once they hit a certain age. If can Elf can engage in interdimensional travel, they WILL fuck off to go do realpolitik in one of the various Elven Strongholds across the Multiverse. The only Elves in the Mortal Plane are the very young, and a few odd Exiles that are sent to live in the Mortal Plane as punishment, serving Penitence for this or that reason by taking charge of the Stewardship and Education of young Elves.Rather than being cautious, in order to protect their long lives, Elves in my setting are foolhardy, because they have an almost infinite amount of time to rest and heal from there wounds. If an Elf Swordsman loses a limb, he mostly suffers a loss of face and social standing; he can just take a few decades to study magic until he regenerate that limb, and than go back to practice his Swordsmanship. And basically every Elf has mastered some form of skilled trade, so they can earn a living while healing from dangerous work.For this reason, most other Races and Cultures hate Elves, but actually stamping them out would be difficult, because at any one time, there are like a half-dozen Elf Wizards hanging around that will just Black Hole any army that tries to engage in any meaningful Elf genocide.
>>97364609Would they even be fair to be playable at that point?
I'm a white male human farmer and I think elf maidens smell good, honestly the men smell good too
>>97366466I doubt you've somehow ever smelled an elf maiden in your life
>>97365291>because at any one time, there are like a half-dozen Elf Wizards hanging around that will just Black Hole any army that tries to engage in any meaningful Elf genocide.I guess that answers OP question
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?

>>97366337>Vagabond is a "lean-and-mean" d20-based system, laser-focused on practical play without sacrificing modern TTRPG character expression.

About a decade ago we got a rumour that the Primarchs would come back (before it actually started happening).Part of that rumour was that one loyalist would turn traitor and one traitor would become a loyalist.So who's it gonna be?Picture potentially related, Angron for ants.

GW would basic bitch out, turn guilliman to chaos because he learned what his dad meant when he made them during his meeting at the Golden throne after his resurrection. And because of general burnout having been put in stasis during the heresy, then waking up and seeing the imperium is still embroiled in never ending war thanks to the corrupt lords of terra.GW then makes titus chapter master/high lord of ultramar or whatever to take his place after they kill of calgar. Magnus is redeemed because he literally did nothing wrong when trying to psychically warn his dad about the traitors.

This is basically how all therapy is. "Do you want to kill yourself or someone else? If no, please stop bothering us."This was after getting all nutrition and supplement stuff done (which combined with working out did have a side effect of actually making me WAY happier and healthier) but, no, still wanted to eat... "placenta".Finally got to do so this year (consensually, ofc) and holy shit, it's like everything is quiet all the time now, I'm so much less highly strung, I didn't even realise how bad it was until I was out of it.

>>97332225>Infinity is way too complex and niche. Soicast also made all the details on their minis soft. They did well in N4 to remove spanglish and nested rules, but rebloated in N5. Lore is actually bad, it's very boring, bland and generic. I remember when Toni Macayana died, everyone just asked when they'll rerelease the tikbalang. No one cares at all.They made the biggest mistake of trying to become more mainstream. Infinity used to have anime aesthetics, hot female minis, and more grounded designs. They used to set the trends that even GW tried following, and made miniatures so incredible it crashed their own website. Now it's all capeshit, safe bland designs, NA2, and some of the most retarded looking minis like the new MAF, SP and CA. They're now constantly chasing trends, every army plays like herohammer, and they're constantly fighting SKU bloat by discontinuing armies while introducing new ones. All for the 'mainstream' audience that will never give them the light of day especially with 40k dominating that audience and the fact that they do not have good PR no matter how many influencers they pay.
>>97354640They proved to be incompetent by not retaining people during/after the covid lockdowns. Most of those new customers didn't stay very long after the lockdowns lifted, and realized the model kits were extremely expensive. However, you're not wrong about their IP having reach, because even if they're not buying kits, they're buying games and eventually other media (when/if the amazon slop comes out?). GW still makes a ton of money from licensing and potentially bringing in more people into their product ecosystem regardless of how long they stay. Battletech does have games, but I dont know how popular they are. Corvus Belli is trying to get their trash aristeia game into vidya, and they supposedly have a movie being made.
>>97330812There are options at the large army scale, but all the games that ask you to bring more than 20-30 models are mostly model agnostic rulesets that are being sold. Outside of historical minis, most of what comes to mind is fantasy rank and spanks that exist fill in for Warhammer Fantasy being dead for a decade: Mantic Kings of War and Oathmark.
