Why the fuck would you play OSR? Every edition is an improvement on the previous--that's why they make new editions, to refine and better their content. Is it just nostalgia? Are they mentally impaired or senile? What the fuck is wrong with OSR "fans"?
>>97339253Comically incorrect
>>97339266A very good question. Why haven't you played in any games? You seem to be operating under multiple erroneous assumptions about the way games are played and run that would be corrected if you actually played anything.
>>97332967It took you 3 hours to make a character in 5e?What learning disability do you have? Or are you diagnosed? If not, you might want to go to a psychologist or neurologist, my dude.
>>97339944Then feel free to enlighten me on why you use session 0 then and when you started using it.>>97340275I don't take three hours. But try as I might newbies don't cotton on as quick when I start them in 5th. Any number of other games I've used though get started in (at most) 30 minutes.
>>97340832Ah, you're one of those gameless autists who sees the word "session" and assume it takes an entire night to set expectations, discuss character ideas, and start playing. Pathetic, really.

The PCs must restore the power of the four crystals to defeat the Dark Lord. What should I base the four crystals upon, instead of the four elements?doubles decide
>>97328620WOULD
>>97326915Each crystal is the lifesoul of a different race, dimmed by time and strife between peoples, lowering their potential. Only by aiding them and restoring their faith in the collective good can the crystals be reignited so that everyone can come together and defeat the evil ravaging the land.

>>97343624NTA, but the Monkey's Paw curls:1. Internal Anarch Politics2. killing Anarch goons3. Internal Inconnue politics4. Killing Inconnue goons... repeat until we have every faction and sub-faction.
>>97343693Lmao look at this "repeat" copeCan't even name five
CofD discussion ends and shitflinging immediately starts.
>>97343624I have a feeling your definition of "internal cammie politics" is going to be so broad that effectively everything that isn't cross-splat falls under it, but1: You, or someone else in the coterie broke the Masquerade and now there's a mortal that knows what you are. How will you deal with that?2: An independent ghoul has set his/her sights on you/someone in your coterie.3: One night while feeding, you find a mortal that is immune to the kiss. What do?4: Another vampire you know has become obsessed with the idea of becoming human again, and they keep trying to rope the coterie into their latest experiment in regaining their lost humanity.5: You come across a young vampire, hiding out on the outskirts of town, that possesses a discipline that neither you, nor anyone you know, has ever seen before.6: You're at one of your nightly haunts. Maybe you're looking for some blood, maybe you're just trying to enjoy a night on the town. But you see someone you knew in life. Someone you were very close with. What do you do?7: Hunting down long-lost vampire lore8: Basically any mundane crime you can think of is on the table for a vampire game9: An ancient, traveling elder stops in your coterie's domain. They have seen much of human history with their own eyes. Are you able to coax that information out of them? Or must you suffer an immensely powerful and immensely entitled house guest?10: Your ghoul has become pensive and withdrawn. Has the blood bond somehow begun to wane? Or have they simply become more jaded to their situation?There 10 plot hooks/"things that you can do" that have nothing to do with internal politics, and I didn't even bother to mention the cheap shots of 11: Killing Setite goonsComment too long.

>>97343860Most of those are either cross-splat or could be dramatically improved by being made cross-splat
First Order of the Stick of the new year is up.
>>97341934Thank you!>>97342787>>97343245I think the twist will be that the snarl doesn't technically kill. Instead, it just stores its victims and worlds inside of its infinite tangle, preserving them for eternity. So my theory is that the story will end with the snarl being unraveled, and all the worlds it took being restored. (Effectively) unlimited worlds, enough space for everybody. IMO this will tie into the MitD too but that's a separate thing
>>97343598Correct>>97343669Okay, I agree that was one of the few gags that I got a chuckle at. Along with Elan stabbing himself with his own weapon trying to figure out how to hold it.
>>97343724generally I got the sense that it had fewer rpg-references and more oots-referencesin other words, the humour got noticeably more self-referentialit's wasn't like that in older stuff, like Snips & Snails for example
>>97343724>>97343669I laughed at the weapon names joke, but that was also because it reminded me of the polearm emporium which referenced Monty python so I'm not sure how many points to give it.

Welcome to /wbg/, the official thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.Here is where you go to present and develop the details of your worlds such as lore, factions, magic and ecosystems. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art (either created by you or used as inspiration for your work). Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback or post whatever relevant input you might have!Last thread: >>97165346Resources for Newfags: https://sites.google.com/view/wbgeneral/Worldbuilding links: https://pastebin.com/JNnj79S5 (embed) (embed)https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view/Eo+fK41FKVR7xDpbNO0a0N4k0YYxrmyrhX3VxnM14Ew/Fantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator/wbi/: https://discord.gg/6ZjEc7dy4TWorldbuilding Hub: https://discord.com/invite/wGjxK3YThe Writer's Forge: https://discord.com/invite/CUxHxWqTira: https://discord.com/invite/f52W6KgComment too long.

>>97334762I like those ideas, I can work with thatThe goo Lagoon one especially, got me thinking of a underwater necrocracy with merfolk mummies and necromancers and these said mummies when brought to the surface be in tanks of brine that could be cool
>>97333455>>97336630You doing illustrations of different weapons and soldiers in your setting has inspired me to do the same, even though I mostly focus on space stuff, though I don't do it very often (This is the latest one I did, after someone asked me to complete a set of similar pictures for all the main factions of the setting).
>>97341958Neat. The race for which these weapons are for are some sort of insectoids?
>>97311994What are some good resources for when you want to add an element of randomness to your world-building?
>>97343614AD&D 2e's World Builder's Guidebook is very useful for fantasy settings. Diku (https://topps.diku.dk/torbenm/maps.msp) is good for planetary maps.For future history/science fiction stuff, I've found far fewer sources. GURPS Space 4e has a detailed alien generator, which I turned into a Python program here: https://www.online-python.com/FcrCEyQbiw . Throne of Salt has some good tables for planet generation, particularly this one: https://throneofsalt.blogspot.com/2019/10/mothership-planet-generation.html . Sectors Without Number does the same using SWN's tables: https://sectorswithoutnumber.com/ . Traveller has lots of tables too, and this looks to be a web version of them: https://srd-tools.com/sector.html
Could it work in a /tg/ context? Say you used the Damaging Objects rules from the d20 System.
>>97343823People are fairly consistent in their closed-mindedness on adapting mechanics from video games to tabletop, but I think there's some validity in trying; at least, for the sake of some of the more simple ones.I'm not saying go as far as calculations to the degree of Pokémon's damage formula, but systems like Fire Emblem or even Morrowind could be adapted to tabletop wholesale; both being essentially D% systems.I have no experience with Red Faction specifically, but I recommend looking into statistics (especially probability theory) to see if anything can be carried over.
If your campaign involved blowing up buildings frequently enough that you can't just GM handwave it, then determining "Hitpoints" for buildings based on material, construction quality and such is perfectly doable.But it adds another level of autism to the crunch, and lots of games are complex enough already.Battletech had building destruction rules in Total Warfare, but they are fairly simple and abstracted so as to not bloat the already fairly crunchy mech fight centric ruleset.
I need a new GOOD fantasy race to base a campaign region around.

>>97339573>>97340674They're a common enemy. Pirated versions spawn a red scorpion enemy that constantly follows the player, moves much faster than usual, and takes no damage. The game cannot be saved, and will crash randomly as well.

>>97341539based saxon enjoyer
>>97343728He's a chaos renegade (specifically renegade 1, or 070327/8, without a backpack because I didn't have any on hand) riding a chimera (specifically the CM1 chimera with a snake tail, and dragon, lion, and ram heads). The model's silhouette is all kinds of fucked up because it was a spur of the moment conversion (for lack of a better word), I had to use greenstuff to make a saddle so the chaos renegade would fit and I still had to bend his legs a lot. I also used greenstuff to fill some gaps around where each part attaches, which I sculpted to look like scar tissue and painted fleshy pink. He's not really a mutant or anything like that, the posing is just awkward by necessity.
>>97343788Okay, that is infinitely more than I expected out of your first pictureIt's janky but in the oddly charming way these ancient models are
Am I losing my mind? So many pieces for years I’ve seen credited to Dainton or Kopinski is a guy named Alex Boyd?
>>97343741NTA but if you're just going to join a club why would you join a TOW club? If it's as easy as just joining a club you should go all on and join a fully narrative campaign or historical club that commits to serious projects. TOW is really meant for pick up games, not exactly a club game
At what age do magic users start training in your setting?

There are a lot of examples of knights being implemented into a sci-fi future setting (Warhammer 40k, Battletech, Dune), but are there any examples of medieval societies with modern-esque professional soldiers?
>>97339216>There are a lot of examples of knights being implemented into a sci-fi future settingName even one.
>>97339216Glen Cook's Black company? A bunch of mercs do shit in a fantasy world, but it's pretty "modern" military wise. They - well, most of them - aren't fanatics, they just do their job. Also: the Bridgeburnes from Malazan?
>>97339397all scifi is fantasy. scifi is a subgenre of fantasy
>>97343780That makes even less sense than it being its own genre. I mean in terms of what words mean; it actually makes huge sense in terms of conning a bunch of suckers to buy something that sounds different in a saturated market, genius even.
>>97339417>joining the Roman legions ceased to be profitableHadrian managed to square this circle (as did Antonius Pious, if I recall correctly) but he was one of the few emperors who wasn't insanely stupid and corrupt, and actually used tax money for public works.

>>97330704Truly the chad's wargame.
>>97343108There were some photos in old WM threads. But they were as you expect - hard children toy plastic with shitty detail quality.
>>97330704What happened with the 4 ed relaunch?
>>97343731Well, technically it exists. It's the most you can say about it. But they don't seem to be in any haste to launch any models except for whatever few they already did, squatted some factions and changed the stylistics. So its just kinda there.
Let's say, hypothetically, someone, not me, were to have, allegedly, altered the atomic structure of Warp Stone. Now let's say, HYPOTHETICALLY, it caused a cascade effect that resulted in all Warp Stone in existence being altered the same way.Now, this Warp Stone might, MIGHT, have a 99.9% chance of altering the behavior of Skaven exposed to it to experience a complete reversal of their usual traits, mannerisms, behaviors, personalities, and such. Now it might, POSSIBLY, make them 100% aware that they are altered and unable to stop their new behaviors no matter how hard their inner thoughts are screaming at them to stop.In the event this completely hypothetical situation occurs, what kind of repercussions might one expect from being the cause of such an event?
>>97342649>This shamble-mess of pocket empires will be REORGANIZED-RESTRUCTURED into the first United Skaven Democratic Republic!>so this is how backstabbings die-kill, to loud-thunderous applause...
>>97336956What game?
>>97342916>Warp Stone>Skaven>What game?bruh
>>97342649For your average boots on the ground skaven slave, no. He knows there is no agriculture, cannibalism is now forbidden, raiding is now forbidden, he owns nothing he can use to trade with, and that there are better rats than himself that deserve priority in what stockpiles of non-rat jerky the skaven keep. Best he can do is find a cliff overlooking a pit of feces that may be used as fertilizer in the future, and jump. Its not because they are being rash but because rational thinking would quickly conclude the situation to be bleak and that self sacrifice is the best he can do to assure the collectives survival.
>>97343696This. The inverse of normal Skaven behaviour would be self-sacrifice for collective gain. Honestly, the Skaven might be more likely to take over the world now that they're into peace and love and carefully raising their offspring to ensure optimal development.
