>>97354640They proved to be incompetent by not retaining people during/after the covid lockdowns. Most of those new customers didn't stay very long after the lockdowns lifted, and realized the model kits were extremely expensive. However, you're not wrong about their IP having reach, because even if they're not buying kits, they're buying games and eventually other media (when/if the amazon slop comes out?). GW still makes a ton of money from licensing and potentially bringing in more people into their product ecosystem regardless of how long they stay. Battletech does have games, but I dont know how popular they are. Corvus Belli is trying to get their trash aristeia game into vidya, and they supposedly have a movie being made.
>>97330812There are options at the large army scale, but all the games that ask you to bring more than 20-30 models are mostly model agnostic rulesets that are being sold. Outside of historical minis, most of what comes to mind is fantasy rank and spanks that exist fill in for Warhammer Fantasy being dead for a decade: Mantic Kings of War and Oathmark.
>>97334752>Didn't BT get discovered by the sjw's?The biggest thing culture warriors point to for BT becoming pozzed is an unofficial fan publication.
>>97366968Not entirely true, CGL has been pushing progressive stuff for years now. Which is pretty comical when you consider that BT is a setting that is pretty amazing when it comes to everyone and everything having representation without pandering and badly written LGBTQ+ characters/plots being jammed into campaign books and novels.
>>97331077>I can't believe it actually got approved for publication.Really?
I'm trying to write a campaign and have a good idea of where I want it to go, but I'm not sure how to get started. In your current game, what was the main threat facing the party in their starting location?
>>97364443Prison they were all in got ransacked by necromancers. The necromancers got what they wanted, and left the walking cadavers as a distraction. The party broke out of their cells and fought their way through when the initial chaos settled down.
>>97364443The party got their entire equipment confiscated by corrupt city guards at the gates as their first interaction and introduction to the setting.
>>97364443Shipwreck.
>>97366834Because if you had any sense you'd pick up on the meaning. You're not writing a novel. Tell your players what you're doing then do it.
>>97364443>what was the main threat facing the party in their starting location?two unrelated ones: one was a member of a minor branch of the huge and powerful Alibakkar merchant family that got it into his head that he'd rather be a robber knight, and the other was a sea hag controlling the weather to keep Amn's navy grounded for reasons related to the BBEG's overarching plot to ruin that nation because they're the only ones with Carrack technology to get over the Trackless Sea where his fortress is.

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?

>>97366337Same answer as the last six times you posted this.
>>97365331>I'm not a fan of one-stop "tower of knowledge" structures, I think they're FOEGYGVery minor point, but I have here a hadith of sound transmission indicating that Gygax (pbuh) used such a structure:>https://www.enworld.org/threads/gary-gygax-things.669413/
>>97366059>by the book the only way for them to realise that they have is by finding contradictions in their maps, for example their position with respect to a known landmark, or a hex they've already been in seeming to have a different terrain than it shouldWhile this is true in most editions, it's worth noting that it's not true in OD&D, where it's clear from context that the players immediately know when they're lost (since the getting-lost procedure specifies that they're allowed a directional deflection as per the rules of Outdoor Survival).
>>97367158I guess it's similar, but it's less a cosmopolitan wizard school/wizard mecca in that case, and instead is just one powerful, dickish wizard in a tower who will cast spells and stuff for you in exchange for an exorbitant payment in magic items.

>>97366623OP regularly played his gimmick on the Choose Your Own Adventure general frequently enough that the entire user base got wise to his samefagging and ritual posting, especially when he went into random philosemitic tangents. This is a little bit like being outran by a fat child, no one on /cyoag/ considers it an intelligent general. His whole deal is whining whenever people aren't obeying the most autistically retarded version of Clarke's Third Law (the one about magic and tech), and whining whenever jocks are allowed to win, and whining whenever nerds aren't able to kill anybody with their minds.https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/92251865/#92255551One anon defeated him just by posting a stanford.edu link that explained the whole philosophy that he was bastardizing, and telling him to read and respond to the counterarguments against it. No response was ever given.Eventually, anons started to ironically thirstpost over him (calling him a woman) and it pissed him the shit off, eventually they also noticed that he had the technophilia, Israel obsession, resentment of jocks, and 'izzat mentality' of an Indian, and they started to call him an Indian woman too. This was also effective because he's an eugenicist and scientific racialist (it rationalizes the caste system).

>>97366572According to the Cyberpunk 2020 Sourcebook and Eurosource. There's an arms manufacturing company called IMI (Israel Military Industries) with it's HQ in Israel that still exists as of 2020, and according to the cyberpunk fanon wiki they still sell weapons into the era of The Red.

>>97333578>>97333590Alright, after having done this rolltable. Here's some feedback: It's fun.I particularly like the mechanic with the many heads through repeated throws and the nod to the Nibelung saga in the last category. Definitely keep that The colors are a bit too D&D coded and kitschy imo.Maybe make it twelve options instead (throwing two dice at once is always more fun) and tone down the saturation a little. For the specific color shade, choose one (free) or roll again to determine it. Also add some metallic options for variety. e.g.:>3-5 Green (1:Emerald, 2:Spring, 3:Fern, 4:Moss, 5:Hunter, 6:Forest)>6 Black (1:Smoke, 2:Charcoal, 3:Ebony, 4:Raven, 5:Ink, 6:Onyx)>7 White (1:Chalk, 2:Pearl, 3:Porcelain, 4:Eggshell, 5:Alabaster, 6:Bone)>8 Gray (1:Haze, 2:Ash, 3:Dove, 4:Stone, 5:Slate, 6:Iron)>9 Brown (1:Beige, 2:Clay, 3:Cedar, 4:Mahogany, 5:Umber, 6:Walnut)Comment too long.

Are there any tabletop RPGs similar in style to the classic video game Baroque?
>>97365430The dungeons part itself could be done using just about any system, though OSR games would be ironically a bad fit because they have far too much in the way of random and unfair deaths. Baroque is not an easy game, and you're expected (and even required) to die a fair amount of times even just to progress the story, but you can reach a point where you will never unintentionally die unless all the worst luck hits you simultaneously, and it's actually important to reach that level of skill in order to avoid accidentally losing some item that you've been babying for several dozen dungeon cycles or some key item needed to progress the story. A more skill-based rather than luck-based system would probably be best.The dungeon exploration is really not all that unique, and what makes Baroque special is the larger mechanics and structure. Ultimately, Baroque ends up being several different experiences for different people, so replicating it comes down to what kind of Baroque you're hoping to emulate.At the most basic level, it's a few nasty dungeons cycles with some incomprehensible story floating above it. Not really that hard to emulate, and it's definitely a matter of style over substance. At the next level, with players who really get into it, you'd have players who reached one of the more accessible endings. A DM would really have to plan and prepare some esoteric nonsense for the players to slowly unravel, with various moon logic puzzles on how to get further and further into the dungeon. And, beyond that, you start diving into various guides and FAQs and discover that there are still unexplained mysteries, with inconsistencies between ports of the game (there's been 10 versions, thanks to different systems/publishers/regions/languages, resulting in people getting as far as to believe they have 99% of the mysteries solved only for another version to introduce a dozen new ones). No one should play a TTRPG like that.

>>97365865>>97366799i would say use obscuring/covering terrain to your advantage, otherwise if you feel like your opponent has a bit of bloodlust you can use that to your advantage by leading your cav and certain units fairly far away on the board so you have more breathing room to get objectivesin most cases if the enemy is focusing fire and charging your missiles and cav, then that means your hero units (which are the backbone of CoS armies) have more wiggle room to do things as well
I figured the Realmgate/Soul Wars plus the Necroquake were foundational lore and not edition narratives, that’s pretty neat. I’m surprised they haven’t kept the books in print about them.
