The difference between you posting and asking for help and these people posting on a discord calling something done is that you will come away with ideas on how to improve. Those discord pictures were posted and they will likely not improve. So if you post with a question, like "Im done with this model what should l add or do differently to improve it?" You will have a better time.

After about 8 years since I last DM'ed a game, I've been asked to run a session.
Unfortunately my books - adnd, 2e, 3e, 3.5, 4e, and 5e are in storage two states away.
And i prefer physical copies. Thanks to critical role and the movie DND books have gone up in price which is weird.
>4e books are ~10-15$ now.

Is it viable to run 4e in 2025? I don't remember hating it and I still remember some home rules to streamline combat to speed it up a touch.
Does anyone have suggestions for 1-3lvl adventures or campaign settings?

Honestly, I do too. A lot of 4e fans hate it because it stepped away from the AEDU framework and people who liked 4e liked that framework, but I don't actually care about that: an attack is an attack, and "hit harder" is a perfectly valid improvement rather than getting a "hit REALLY hard 1/encounter and move enemy one step / give enemy -1 slaves for 1 round/etc."

A lot of 4e's problem is having too much faff in combat, and Essentials classes reduced the faff
>>
>>97284813
If your players don't go hard in the paint, it can work, especially if you modulate battles towards their strengths.
>>97284845
I gently disagree, as I believe the wealth of options at all times was a boon for players who wanted to have meaningful impact outside 'I hit the dude'.
I've brought in almost a dozen new players to the hobby with 4e, and I have found that it is fairly easy to understand, has depth, and forges good habits of mindfulness and paying attention to the battle when the spotlight isn't directly on you.
One of my cherished memories was running a game for some teens at my LGS, and the fighter being the star because she just ran around protecting everyone, forcing a chokepoint and battering the attacking spider demons.
The look on her face when the party was cheering her on, watching the group fall in together like a well oiled engine, supporting each other, that is what this hobby really is about for me.
That was more than 10 years ago. I wonder what they are doing now?
>>
>>97236120
Of course 4e is going through a rennaissance. Compared to the monster that is 5e, 4e is very GM friendly to the point where a guy who hates making preps can actually run a decent campaign.
>>
>>97284665
I'm a big 4e fan and an Essentials hater but I'd still rather run pure Essentials than 3e or 5e. Its hated because of how boring its classes are compared to the base game, how unbalanced its classes are even compared to each other and the fact that it throttled books 4e fans actually wanted in the crib like the rest of the X Power 2 books and the Nentir Vale lore book. It then caused a sales crash which killed the edition, exactly what Mearls wanted when he started Essentials.

The Monster Vaults, Rules Compendium, adventures and equipment book would have been 10/10 if they weren't formatted like shit. I wish it had run long enough for Monster Vault 2 to redux MM2 like how MV1 was a 95% redux of MM1 with the better math and more options.
>>
>>97284845
It's not valid when it breaks the game's curve in an attempt to be different from AEDU. The Essentials classes that aren't worthless dogshit are either still AEDU or are broken as fuck early on and degrade into dogshit later. This is bad when the entire point of 4E was to get away from the Fighter solely hitting things with a stick and sucking at high levels.

Most souls don't want to, but it is possible. In the same sense that some random illiterate Nicaraguan will discover the cure for cancer. It is a less than 0.00000001% chance for some souls but if you roll the dice enough times, across a wide enough universe, it will happen. That's why there's a redeemed demon companion and a paladin's oaths can obligate him to give the soul-devouring megalich a chance to surrender and be tried for his crimes in a court of law.

Then you become a cultist, and possibly a mad scientist archetype. You are provably entering the as-yet uncharted territory of a field that mankind has only ever previously accidentally dipped their toes into but now may access by means of apprenticeship/the scientific method, respectively.

Your character conflict becomes a combination of social and financial isolation as you struggle to relate your new realizations to others with less flexible mental grounding. This carries with it a painful reality of how easy it is to fall into moral and ethical decay when the promise of each new discovery unraveling some prior assumption about life finally hits home, and you stop seeing society and psychology as solid, immutable forces that cannot be bent with sufficient genius.

Ultimately, those who delve into the eldritch truth must struggle with not losing sight of everything else.

It's not for sale, but you can request a free physical 2-player 90 card set by following the instructions in the description of this video:

Playmats have arrived and will be sent out with the playtesting kits. Anyone who already received a set with the shipping label name "Current Resident" should be receiving one by 1/10/26. If your shipping label was not sent to "Current Resident", email or DM me on telegram so I can send you one.

In picrel top two MTG diagrams, you can see that each of the 5 colors is composed of 2 base concepts, which are then arranged on a spectrum wheel. These concepts are what define the mechanics belonging to a particular color identity. This is a sort of top down approach, letting the concept inform the mechanics.

In Frenopolis, each color is also composed of 2, but they're not concepts, they're Elements which correspond to card types and board zone mappings. The mechanics inform the concept. This is a bottom up approach. The Frenopolis color pie is strictly defined in terms of the game board itself. Color identity cannot be broken.

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. And as we enter this happiest and newest of years, remember: 2e was never an old-school game, bait is for reporting, and fish is for smoking! Happy new year, grogs!

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:
