When this General image maxes, I feel a void.
>>97357602What the void of no more low quality AIslop? I like cute and sexy female elves but have some standards
>>97357602>>97357700If that void could be filled with slop, I'd just roll over to one of the many slop-shitteries and make some more.
got plenty of slop ready for the next thread btw (⌒ω⌒)
I need a new GOOD fantasy race to base a campaign region around.

The Cynocephali (The Dog-Headed)Based on the legends of St. Christopher and the accounts of Marco Polo.Sub-Race: The Saint’s Kin (The Orthodox Variant).Trait: Bark of the Word. Their barks can carry the weight of divine authority, capable of frightening demons or "howling" a prayer that bolsters allies.Sub-Race: The Desert Raiders (The African Variant).Trait: Carrion Sense. They can smell blood or decay from miles away, making them the ultimate bounty hunters of the Silk Road.Social Status: In the East, they are seen as noble guardians. In the West, they are often caught in a theological debate: Do they have souls? If they can pray, the Church allows them; if they only howl, they are hunted.

Should an elven wizard be more powerful on average than a human one? Explain your answer.
>>97356728As player options, no. It turns any wizard type that isn't an elf into trap options.As creatures and NPCs, it doesn't matter sure, if you want.
>>97356728Yes, because the elf actually invented the magic in the first place. He was there when the rules of magic were first cast into being tens of thousands of years ago.Human magic isn't real magic, its a pale imitation of elvish magic that is watered down into something that can be learned in "only" a couple decades. Human magic is quick and dirty magic that is designed for people that just want results and don't *actually* care how it works under the hood because they simply don't have time to learn. Something taught to humanity by elves out of pity after it became clear that real magic was forever out of their reach.
>>97357537>He may live longer, but he will waste most of those extra decades/centuries doing scatty elvish shitYeah, and even with that lack of dedication he'll still spend more time performing the act of casting magic than the human will live total from cradle to grave. "For every meal you have ever eaten in your life, I have cast Time Stop. And thats just Time Stop."

Thoughts on Scion?
>>973426901e or 2e? 1e is a few steps more on the simulationist side since it gives more hard numbers on some things, but both are pretty narrative. 1e combat is also starts getting broken when epic dex above 3 comes into play and it just gets more shattered as it goes.
>>97344855>Beyond hero, things start to get very silly very quick when it comes to powers.How so exactly?

>>97353060There are some American places that carry their stuff to get by the retarded shipping rates, for example Fortress minis
>>97348175Lancer would take some heavy homebrewing to use for that purpose, and I don't think anyone has done that homebrewing for you already. Making the mechs less customizable is easy enough, just set limits for the players. The hard part is the tech level and the nature of the License system, which means you'd need to throw out 100+ pages from the book, then write up your own replacements.Maybe that is within your effort level, but if I was wanting to run Actual Gundam as opposed to something Gundam-inspired, I'd use Jovian Chronicles (very clearly inspired by UC Gundam) or Mekton Z (see >>97353643).>>97353789>Just use Gundam Senki broGundam Senki uses a licensed version of Mekton Zeta
>>97357498>Gundam Senki uses a licensed version of Mekton ZetaThe point is that it already has all the mechs statted for you, dummy.
>>97347457i like the two system combo of lancer+5th age. its not going to satisfy the hardcore mecha connisuer, but the familiarity and similarity those systems have to dnd 5th edition means fucking everyone on planet earth knows how to play it more or less and its incredibly easy to onboard new players with very little instruction, and both are quite light on the beancounting and minutia that can sometimes grind mech games to a screeching halt like ammo tracking, part damage, lock systems, overly complex heat, power and radiator management, financial expenses for repairs, and so on. all of those things are fantastic if you have a dyed in the wool group of mech enthusiasts, but i've found such groups to be basically non existent outside of dedicated discords. lancers mechs are generic enough that they could more or less be stapled onto any setting with zero effort, and its combat system plays lightning fast for a mech game, while still being somewhat customizable, but its out of mech roleplay and combat rules are quite bare bones, so i like stapling on 5th age or a similar dnd 5e scifi adaptation for the out of mech combat and roleplay because it offers that side of the game just a bit more meat on its bones while also being very familiar to most players.i've run several groups like that over the last few years and its worked out pretty well each time.
Stop looking at fantasy settings and its cultural dialogue through contemporary utilitarian lenses. Your present reasoning and thoughts are a direct result of sociocultural narratives, they're not objectively reasonable or the apex of human thought.

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? Here's a curated collection:Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97357375cute map, anon. i didn't see your previous post but, couldn't that one go either way? that's an escape route for the players, or an opportunity to trap the MONSTERS down there?one of the first problems in Barrowmaze is that the (most likely) entrance has some previous adventurers' pulley system dropping into the dungeon, but some asshole has cut the rope. ez solution is to just attach some fresh rope. but a simple hole in the ground being the 'known' entrance creates a lot of opportunity for cleverness and dickery.
>>97357416I could post the whole lore, but basically, the people in the city above only believe that there's a few zombies down there. Instead, there's trapped, sapient, insane, scheming undead. They want to keep their existence a secret and to that purpose have dug out a shortcut to outmanouver anyone who might try to flee with knowledge of them.>>97357487>Some asshole has cut the ropeCue players about to leave, only to find that their own rope has been cut.
>>97357599>I could post the whole lore, but basically, the people in the city above only believe that there's a few zombies down there. Instead, there's trapped, sapient, insane, scheming undead. They want to keep their existence a secret and to that purpose have dug out a shortcut to outmanouver anyone who might try to flee with knowledge of them.AYRT. That makes sense, then. They wouldn't want to face intruders at the entrance and show themselves.
>>97356817I figured as much. I heard someone trying to say it was to make it more in line with gamme world 4e, but that did not seem right when I looked at the preview. For tables, I have been suing some stuff from other games so far. The without number stuff has been ok. I usually work in and change the encounters around but keep some of the same beats. Looking more into apes victorious, it seems again to not really be in line with what I want either.The creatures of the tropical wastes thing looks pretty cool just for some extra jungle encounter ideas and plant mutations. You know of any good 3rd party stuff you recommend for it?
>>97357782Since you're porting stuff over, if I were you I would look into the Traveller rules for procedurally generating animals and convert them to GW/MF. They're meant for alien animals, but they should work alright for mutants, although they have no mutations of their own of course. You can then add mutations on top if you want to.
Is there any way I can incorporate my fetish in my fantasy world without it becoming a magical realm?
>>97289931the upcharged tourist food use to not be upcharged tourist food.
>>97340810Testing has shown that when humans read quickly the first and last letters, the length of the word and the remaining individual letters in a jumble is what is noticed and then context of the text is the used to identify the exact word used. This results in word pairs like Calvary/cavalry and rouge/rogue being "mentally" the same word.
>>97357159That's basically gestalt principle at work, subconscious tendency to seek and/or fill in known patterns.

Are Ruins of Azlant and Carrion Crown good APs? Thinking about joining a table that rotates both.
>>97350628>can be replicated in any of those gamesMaybe that's the point.
>>97350628leave nobody likes ports
>>97350628Yeah, quite frankly, feel like neither of you guys will be satisfied. It just makes more sense to start a new campaign in 2e/Savage PF than try to retrofit your old one. Hell, I'm unsure if the GM would be happy with 2e given how much more magic item focused the game is (on top of the admittedly lame design of them...).>>97352941I think this is a very fair rebuttal to the hypocrisy argument against PF2e. 5e players are really, really adamant of adding more and more bloat to 5e as they view it more like a Bethesda game, a skeleton for their own vision. PF2e players view the system as a game first, a game that needs adjustments than some massive overhaul mod. People aren't (or shouldn't be) against homebrewing or changing things about PF2e (if more hesitant thanks to how much you can ruin your own experience), they just know they don't need to completely upheave everything to make it fun.
>>97357503people ARE against homebrewing pf2 in any way and you are NOT at a risk of ruining your experience by doing it

I don't know what happened in that alley, and I'd bet my Amur leopard fur coat somebody tried to play the hero down there - but for their own sake I hope those two had the faintest idea what they were doing. "My art is war" my supercentenarian arse.I worked way too hard for this.
I hate this. I hate seeing my boyfriend reduced to a wailing monster. I hate not knowing the fuck's lurking out there. I hate I can't do shit about this. I hate my bitter, powerless hate.
I'm praying for Boy Toy. I live vicariously through your family, I don't want anything bad to happen to any of you.
How much would/should changing the default setting from High Medieval to Late Bronze Age change the game? For example, lowering AC across the board to simulate the lack of general armour. How much would that affect balance?

>>97357368Being English, I find it most useful when they fight one another, and have no desire for them to stop.It's the only thing that distracts them from gang-rape and shystery.
>>97357174They are but I feel OP's questions. Wanna run a Bronze Age game? So what? Just... use another game/system, but take a buncha stuff out that doesn't fit? That sucks and isn't fun. It's what we've been talking about solutions to.
Have you ever played a long-running character as actually aging over time? Did you actually reflect this mechanically by having their stats deteriorate over time or was it just from the RP element? I'm asking because I know some games like Pendragon actually have you playing as multiple generations of the same family, but what happens to the characters as they age?
