has anyone given though to the state of mathematics in fantasy settings and how it affects the setting and characters in it? e.g.>tribes in not!Africa struggle with trade because they can't count past 2>how traders to calculation to determine prices, risk, etc>how well astronomers understand the motion of the heavens>how the characters think (i.e. logically, or numerically, or in a poetic / non-mathematical way)
>>97367640>How characters thinkFor me, this is the most interesting one. There’s the obvious cultural differences you’d see, like people being able to count but not knowing any mathematical symbols, or even just the different number systems we’d be unused to (like the 12 x 5 base 60 system). Even more than that though, most people today get at least a basic education in maths and science, which even if they forget, will adjust the way they think to break down an issue and look at it logically step by step. What does an entire society look like without this training?
>>97394195NTA, 53x10x2, I assume? My math teacher focused on speedrunning the curriculum which didn't bother with topics like these. I still vividly remember telling my friend how to simplify or approximate and he thought it was dark magic
It's not really for a tabletop game, but I'm fiddling with a magic system for a fantasy story where astronomy is crucial for magic. The planet's four moons and their relative position in the sky determine what spells can be cast when. The moons' associations are fire, ice, stone, and life, and which of the zodiac constellations each moon is in affects how spells work. For example, if the Stone moon is in the constellation of The Defender, that makes it possible to cast a spell that calls a stone wall up out of the earth, while if the Stone moon is in The Scribe, that allows the spell that immediately impresses words into stone.This leads to mathematics for tracking and predicting the movement of the moons crucial, and since the moons' orbits are more elliptical than circular and they affect each others' movement, there's a lot of math required to predict these things.
>>97367640What are some settings where magic is highly dependent on math besides Elantris, where you have to have precise coordinates for teleportation?
>>97367640I've thought about making the arithmetic system a funky base number but always gave up in practice because it's not really worth the effort for what is ultimately a bookkeeping gimmick.

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?

I'm already running a couple of campaigns but only maybe once a month. Is this how it's gonna be for the rest of my life? How do I break out of this?

Is there even a single famous Tabaxi character in all of DnD history? One notable character?Doesn't specifically have to be an NPC, even a famous player character, a running meme, anything. I can't find one and its not dissuading me from the idea that Tabaxi are a C Lister race with no real relevance
I think the designer for the UA spell monk forgot that you don't need to attack in order to do Flurry of Blows anymore.
>>97403236I was gonna say there are no planetouched gnomes but then I remembered there are some kind of fire gnomes I can't recall the name of.
>>97403925I can't think of any that are strictly based on dnd Tabaxi, though if you branch out to non-dnd stuff you can find a few such as that Katia from PREQUEL
I saw something about 5E bringing back the Binder? Binder was hands down my favorite 3.5 class, so I'm excited.

He is basically the antichrist.
>>97401776People like you spout death cult and don’t even know what the term means. Christ himself says he is the god of the living not the dead. It’s a sin for Christian’s to look down death or commit suicide. Dying for your beliefs from persecution does not mean one is wanting to early die.
>>97403682Que?
>>97403699NTA. That's true. It's more like an anti-life afterlife-centric pseudo-gnostic cult than a death cult. Death is a natural part of the lifecycle, one which christianity has essentially nothing to say on because it just goes on about the afterlife instead.
>>97403806Gnostics came from Christianity and Christians do not believe the earth or material things are inherently evil and that they will return to earth after the resurrection. >>97403801Sorry phone posting because internet is out and autocorrect shit is a cancer.
>>97403806>Death is a natural part of the lifecycle, one which christianity has essentially nothing to say on because it just goes on about the afterlife instead.Christianity has a lot to say about death though? Jesus was pretty clear that death sucks and is unfortunately inevitable for all living things. That's why he emphasized the importance of living a good life because of how precious and limited one's time on Earth is (also, perhaps more importantly, no one really dies; if you are a good person you won't even really die, and a bad person will suffer the true death and go to Hell). I don't get what you mean about the afterlife, every religion devotes a huge chunk of its scriptures to discussions on the afterlife and what it takes to get the good ending.

It can’t just be about the money because during the TSR era they shoved all the artists like Brom into one room and made them work for peanuts.
>>97403673I only mean the covers. The PHB one kind of makes me think of the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon.
>>97402976Pre-3.x art was really swingy. You had absolute bangers like this and then you'd get some really basic black and white pieces. The highs were higher and lows were lower. The black border era towards the end of the TSR era was a downgrade for me too but still better in my opinion than the 3.x stuff.
>>97402122You can't honestly ask something like that in a site with a terminal level of OLD GOOD NEW BAD bias like this one unless you're expecting an eco chamber. But if that's the case, enjoy your circlejerk.
>>97404222I liked 4e era art and 5e era isn't terrible when it's not being turbo-gay, but they never reach the heights of OP. And there was a lot of TSR era stuff that was just jank and garbage.
>>97402122No, it's about the money. Back in the day they were prepared to pay Elmore and Parkinson for full scale oil paintings to photoduplicate onto modules, calendars, Dragon covers, you name it. That costs massive money, but they made it back (initially, before they fucked up the 2e release schedule) with a broad margin because the economics of publishing were like that in those days. The money they pay artists for some digital sloppa nowadays isn't even close, I'd be surprised if it were even within two orders of magnitude for each individual piece.

>>97399553Thank you, I see that sentiment as a go-ahead for my post.This is a genius module because on the one side people just like it for what it is (rapidly diminishing crowd) and on the other side it pioneered rage games by decades and is something to gawk at for people who posture that this thing is some sort of crime against humanity (and farm content off of it) so it stood the test of time by having a weird afterlife.
