>>97355133>Celestial.>A reincarnation, but into a mature adult instead of a newborn. Oddly enough, Sidereals actually reincarnated into newborns.
>>97355313They didn't, if you're referencing that one ass page at the back of RotSE. Those would've been the children destined for Sidereal Exaltation, not the reincarnated Sidereals. Sidereal Exaltation regularly fails and pre-Exaltation there is no third soul there.
>>97354779>In 3e, creating exaltations is a numinous trick that Autochthon found.>The Incarna even randomly found an exaltation "printing machine" randomly in the wyldOK? I don't know why you're bringing that up. I usually make Autochton largely uninvolved in the War, as an aside. >>97354540Abyssals and Infernals are just the Neverborn doing the same thing as the Incarnae. To create your own, everlasting Exaltation in the universe, you have to be willing to surrender complete control of your domain to let your prospective Chosen partake of it of their own free will. This is how, for example, Solar Exalted have *Sun* powers, but they are not limited to the Unconquered Sun's Charms and abilities. As for why they didn't do that sooner: To a Primordial, allowing humans to not only master their strengths but potentially surpass them, was something their pride would never allow them to do. It was only now, as the agony of their prisons or undeath drives them to madness, did they become so desperate as to allow their power to be wielded by the hands of men. The Neverborn can only channel the essence of death in their current state; whatever their former powers were is drowned out by the taint of their broken souls. Their chosen take forms mirroring the Solar Exalted, the nightmare seared into their minds as they died and stained black by the touch of Oblivion.The Yozi remember their defeat. They saw how the champions of Creation exploited every flaw in their magics, every way in which they were imperfect, and brought them low. Though they were loath to do it, their spite for Creation was greater and they combined their strengths to create Exalted that embody all the forces of Hell. >>97354869I think White Wolf was pretentious in trying to break it down into a macguffin dreamed up by a robot. Guess we wont see eye to eye.

>>97355702>OK? I don't know why you're bringing that up.Because what you wrote goes against what was written in 3e.>I think White Wolf was pretentious in trying to break it down into a macguffin dreamed up by a robot. Guess we wont see eye to eye.Despite being a mechanical being, Autochthon fulfills the role of creator God of the setting, aping figures such as hephaestus or prometheus.It is just another case of White Wolf screwing a mythological concept trying to make it more grandiose.

>>97353937oh that, sorry then not gonne happen because sanctifier already have one.
>>97353304I'd say your best options are either using e.g. striking scorpions/banshees as a proxy, or enjoying the assassins in either sanctifiers or starstriders teams.
>>97354064nta, but Sanctifiers already overlap with Inquisitional Agents like this and those in turn overlap with Battleclade. I can see Death Cult kill team being made eventually, it would make sense here

painted my first ever space marines. white was a hard choice and I probably went about it the worst way possible, but happy with how they came out. played them vs plague marines and it felt a lot more fun and balanced than my usual matchup with my buddy, Exaction vs Vespids. I wanna make space cops work but it just feels like an uphill battle compared to playing canoptek or even AoD.

Time to talk about weird monsters again.As usual, any rants about Bog will be treated as bait unless you have actual proof.
>>97353251In-universe, Funkle.
>>97353336To be a bit fair, the earliest incarnation of Mortasheen was developed as Necromon during the original Pokeclone waves.That being said, anon I think you need to branch out a bit in your tastes because they really...don't.
>>97353408You may not like it, but this is pure sex
>>97353251there's really not a lot of great options i think. most of the ones that are roughly human woman shaped have some kind of reason why you wouldn't want to be in touching distance with them.depending on how adventurous you are, well, i'm sure it depends greatly on personal tastes.

You have a friend who loves fantasy but especially lighter YA novel level stuff like percy jackson. Theyll get a lot of lower level concepts, but anything too fringe will scare them offWhat are you busting out to give them their first tabletop experienceI'm wracking my brain because I play a lot of niche shit, but the bigger fantasy games I can think of or have played are bit too unfriendly to someone new (oathmark, old world fantasy stuff), Im definitely NOT bringing out malifaux, and most of my games are scifi leaning. But I really want this person to have a good first experience using themes they can relate to
>>97353499mitebecool Need to look into it and see how fiddly the unit cards are and how much of the game becomes playing with the cards. As is the potential for activation of slots and that being where damage could be neat, could be wack. Thanks anon.
>>97355526Frostgrave or Rangers of Shadowdeep coop might be light enough and a small enough number of units.
>>97355601I'm currently on and off painting terrain and minis, and writing scenarios for a Shadowdeep/Stargrave mashup, where the players are the crew of a crash-landed space ship trying to escape an alien planet.'S to play with my friends and neighbors; the system is ultralight, so it's eminently palatable for normies and other crunch averse types.

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade 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? Here's a curated collection:Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97355524"Goal" is a weird phrasing, but yes. The OSR was specifically a movement to revive the original play style of D&D, which was expressed in OD&D, AD&D 1E, and Basic D&D. This play style was pushed out around 1984 in favor of railroaded "trad" fantasy stories of epic adventure because that's where the customer money was, hence the "first decade" cutoff.
>>97355524Goal of OSR movement was to preserve pre-WotC D&D, because WotC dropped all support in 2000 and showed no plans for reprints.By 2002, the "old school revival" discussions began, and they did stuff like trying to start petitions and started planning games like C&C, which was released in 2004. But, OSR was really small and fragmented back then, and Matt Finch left C&C to try and make OSRIC, which had a much more narrow idea of what OSR was. OSRIC was released in 2006, and had almost no popularity at all thanks to bad timing, leading Finch to leave and try again with Swords and Wizardry in 2008, but by then there were plenty of other OSR games with a much different philosophy than what Finch and his followers were trying to promote.Fast forward a bit to 2014, and 5e has revitalized RPG popularity, and becomes the tide that lifts all ships, including OSR games, which start to become actually lucrative. OSR becomes a very profitable phrase, particularly once 5e's overwhelming domination on RPGs starts to wane (roughly around 2018-2019) while Stranger Things (2016) also helped revitalize interest in older games. The OSR community grows pretty large, and all sorts of games get added to the OSR family, including some that don't even share a lineage with any edition of D&D but still try to recreate some facets of older play styles, usually dungeon crawling with high lethality being common. Some people in the OSR try to dismissively name some of these games "NuSR" in order to make them separate from the rest of the OSR, though ironically many of those games (such as Shadowdark) become incredibly popular and presenting themselves as "OSR, but better" actually helped further increase that popularity.Funnily enough, the original "goal" of OSR was accomplished years ago, with WotC releasing the entire D&D collection and even reprinting some choice titles, and the continued OSR community has developed multiple other goals since then.
>>97355775>Goal of OSR movement was to preserve pre-WotC D&DNope, this is a lie. This is far too broad and simplistic, and anyone who likes the OSR knows it's not true.
>>97355792It's broad because it's the truth, and attempting to narrow it down is where the lies come, usually lies from small factions within the OSR who hope to pretend their narrow view is the "true" version at the expense of the rest of the OSR community.
>>97355810Sorry, no, this is wrong and you've fundamentally misunderstood the OSR.
Is your character the type to hit on barmaids?

No idea where you're getting all these cards to play from hand either. Honestly I find the new Cendrillmon really lazy too so I guess I'm not shocked. Hopefully Mirai and Kaguyamon inspire me.
Emotional support elf editionDiscuss elves.Post elves.Love elves.All elf lore, game stories art and any else that's elfy is all appreciated.Thread question: To what extent do elves share their wisdom and experience with other races to help them emotionally and psychologically?previous thread: >>97278632

>>97351179Fun fact there are like old video games with deedlit as the mc and the human died a long time agoShe meets Leaf that one half elf girl from the mangaSo whatever happened between them didn't last anyways and she's having her own adventuresPirotess might be the sameIn the end both of them build a bridge and got over it which is more than you can say about most other elves who keep crying about their dead pets instead of doing the mentally healthy thing
>>97354708That's basically Deedlit in wonder labyrinth, you might mean the dreamcast game though.In general elves that used to be enemies meeting 200 years later and realizing that there's no point in fighting because the conflict hasn't been relevant the last 190 years is another underused elf thing
>>97355132So, pirotess and deedlit lezzing it out right over their human lovers graves?
>>97355178Lezzing out is one of the methods we can use to mend the difference between elves and dark elves.

>>97355276Maybe, but I kinda hope we just get a new gang with a proper faction book out the gate. I think we have enough settings to play with for now.
>>97355346>>97355276Maybe they can kill two ashwings with one stone. One of the places announced on the first roadmap was the eye of selene. New gangs there would be Pirates or Cargo cults, among scenarios with low grav or void.Has anyone got the Spire of Primus book? Maybe there is any hint about what coul be next, something about the ending maybe?
>>97343319Shelob is resin probably, not plastic. I always wanted to have a Cirith Ungol army with Shelob but the metal and later finecast was such a pain in the ass I simply avoided it. I made some mordor uruks from isengard uruk scouts many years ago, time to dust off.

>>97354053Yeah Medtech is even worse with Surgery being useless and Cyro/Pharmaceuticals capping out in usefulness pretty early.They should be streamlined similar to Techs getting all their specializations for free and Surgery and Medical Tech becoming normal skills they get a Bonus for along with the other medical skills like Paramedic, First Aid and Cybertech
>>97353910It seems like the general EMP effect is set at Cyberware DV15 and disables 2 pieces of the ref's choosing. Now I used to scoff at this low DV but only recently did I realize nobody puts points into Cyberware outside of the tech/medtech and maybe put 4-5 points in TECH (gotta max out REF, DEX, and COOL for combat optimization baybey) so suddenly EMP can be insanely dangerous and only nat 10's can save you.The Rostic Kleaver has the on fire effect, ignores armor effect, and bonus 1d6 damage effect so I wonder if there is one more bonus ability that could be squeezed in, especially since this is a 5,000eb tier weapon?Also you could make your own brand, become the next Eren Malour.
Why do some of you want Cyberpunk to play like an MMO? We already have Elflines.
>>97354587Surgery is great for ripping tech, especially high value tech-upgraded boss gear (you know if the game devs didn't make everything cool break, I'm still butthurt about the nanohive auto-breaking). Sure 4 hours to rip/install sucks but that's better than taking weeks to repair salvaged cyberware. While this falls more under the referee's purview but it's entirely reasonable that dangerous cyberware installs could be banned or at least tracked by the NCPD so having a private ripperdoc helps. Finally surgery can make the most money. Bodysculpting makes a profit of $350 for 4 hours of work (minus $50 fixer fee to find a client) and if the medtech is confident they can try exotic Bodysculpting for $400 profit. Nobody else can earn 100eb/hr which is how much a professional job earns per hour in the core rulebook I can't believe the internal consistency!. Surgery can also fix the worst crits especially head crits, but due to how combat works I swear you'd probably only see those once per entire game unless the referee is always using hardened encounters that start with ambushes where the attackers go for headshots with poor quality shotguns (or even worse sniper rifles).
In my campaign the Invention was used so often the non-Techie PCs had to line up in a queue to order stuff from the Techie PC. So that anon's assertion was the complete opposite of my experience.
At what age do magic users start training in your setting?
>>97353397Money and magical aptitude are inherited. If your parents are rich, then they can afford magic tutoring. And if they were able to learn magic, then chances are that you'll have a knack for magic too.
>>97353397Wizards go around towns and villages casting Divination spells to locate fetuses destined to become wizards. They weave enchantments to enter strangers' homes without causing concern and whisper to the bellies of pregnant women who carry their future apprentices. The wizards probably also fuck the pregnant women while the husbands are forced to watch, and end up molesting the apprentices too, but that's incidental.
>>97355370It started interesting but you're just a freak. I hope you never actually play a game.
>>97355385It's okay, anon. You got your hopes up when you thought you were seeing the hint of something cool. But then you remembered you were in a puckee thread.
>>97355292Why should I? What are you going to contribute in return?
