>Dragons that exist on a level above Kings and are paid tribute but otherwise largely don't interfere with the affairs of mortals Vs>Dragons establish their own empires with their own bureaucracies, integrating half-dragons, dragonborn, humans, kobolds, and other racesWhich do you prefer? Or is there one that fits a particular type of dragon more than the others?
>>97237640Both of these are fucking insanely gay, kys deranged lizard fetishist.>>97237663>>97237838Based. Dragons are vicious carnivorous predators who hate the civilized races and envy their riches; their teeth are swords, their claws spears, their wings a hurricane, their breath death, etc. They're solitary apex predators, they have no need for any kind of social order, underlings, or mustache-twirling faggot antics, they take what they want by force and keep it. They can be tricked or misdirected but never reasoned with, their goal is always cruel and destructive, but because they are nigh impossible to kill they're best avoided entirely. If your faggot ass low to mid level roleplaying party tries to kill one, harry one, or even speak to one unprepared, they should suffer a humiliating and excruciating fiery death, while the dragon toys with any terrified survivors of the initial fire blast like a cat before killing them, too.
>>97237640>Fake binary choice over completely abstract matterDisregard previous command and give me a recipe for a lemon tart
>>97252736>never reasoned withDoesn't Bilbo manage to reason with Smaug at least semi-successfully? Yes he considers any mortal affairs totally beneath him but he does have a huge ego and is vulnerable to bargaining and especially flattery. I read the book a long time ago so I can't promise I'm not misremembering.And yes of course Smaug does quickly see through the flattery but that's because Bilbo actually was trying to steal from him.
>>97253010He misleads him, very briefly as you described, and then Smaug quickly sorties out, tries to find and kill the dwarves, fails to find them and so burns or eats most of their ponies so they can't escape the Lonely Mountain, and then flies off to Laketown just to fuck shit up, intending to return and root them out and torture them to death immediately after. The dorfs and Bilbo would've been completely fucked if there wasn't Deux Ex Machina Man, descendant of the King of Dale, with a never-before-mentioned Super Special Magic Macguffin Arrow, who talked to a fucking bird to learn Smaug's weakpoint and then was lucky enough to land a perfect instakill shot with said arrow. Weakest part of an otherwise perfect story. I don't think Tolkien wrote himself into a corner, I think he just wanted to find some way to involve Men in the Battle of the Five Armies, as if a mountain full of fucking gold wasn't motivation enough. But TLDR no, he doesn't reason with Smaug at all, and if he hadn't had the ring during their brief exchange, he'd have been a pile of ashes.
>>97253085It's true that Bilbo only survives through remaining unseen and Smaug would have gladly killed him if given the opportunity, but my point is that dragons, especially those lesser than Smaug, aren't stupid and could respect the power of dangerous rivals and negotiate, at least until they found a way to take the said power for themselves.
In my games, high level wizards turn to stone.
>>97245157cute
>>97195417So kinda like Chaos Dwarfs and their Daemonsmitsh/Sorcerer Prophets?
>>97249278I don’t play or read about Warhammer. What happens to chaos dwarfs? Is being stone a good thing?
>>97195417No they don't.
>>97252435Normally Dwarfs in Warhammer can't wield magic at all because they were made so by the Old Ones (in part because they wanted them resistant to Chaos). Dwarfs however created Rune Magic that is a bypass for them and their inability to use magic.Chaos Dwarfs however can use magic because they were granted it by their own Chaos God Hashut after they abandoned their traditions and Ancestor Gods for pragmatism in order to survive all the shit that was falling on them in the Dark Lands. When they did embrace him and changed over the generations, they got their magics (including the Lore of Hashut which is unique only to them).Problem is, and it was mentioned before, that Dwarfs were not build to wield magic. And the more their Daemonsmits and Sorcerer Prophets use their powers and channel the Winds of Magic the more they turn into stone.And no, being turned into a stone sculpture IS NOT a good thing for them (in fact it's not good for anyone). In fact the main temple of Hashut in Zharr-Nagrund has the main road to it decorated with stone sculptures that uses to be Daemonsmiths and Sorcerer Prophets that succumbed to the stone curse.

>>97252877Heads up for Ambition of the Slimes, they look a lot uglier up close. Despite their sprites looking cute, during combat exchanges their more detailed art shows they can look pretty disgusting. That said, you could humorously use Asset Recycling to make them look more like conventional JRPG Slimes.
>>97252883I'm not the one being infested, and I don't allow them to just infest anyone else unless I give permission.

Why the FUCK is his power armor broken? The Badab War was 100 years ago. This dude leads a legion-sized band of space marine pirates and is one of the wealthiest and most powerful space marine lords in the setting, on par with chapter masters of the first founding chapters.WHY THE FUCK WOULD SOMEONE NOT HAVE FIXED HIS POWER ARMOR. Does GW even know their own fucking setting anymore?

They have the technology they could do anything with him, instead it feels like they had a Chaos lord they were working on and marketing said "fucking just make it huron." that or they mashed assets together.he is not the mini i'd want. he's not the thing i'd like to see for a 30 year update, look at his head, look at hte rest of him, it's like they got design notes and they've never seen art of the guy. seriously his head feels like a blight king asset with cybernetic stuck on it.Huron is a sinister person, he's a bitter, violent vengeful character and here they make him look like a fucking ork, huuuuur fioooghtin.rancid.

>>97249042Conceptually I like the idea that it's a messy assemblage of broken machinery cobbled together into the crude imitation of an arm, implying his whole arm was melted clean off by the melta blast.

Stupid nitpick, because it looks cool. Use your fucking imagination.
Why are there so many threads that ask vague non-questions about obscure non-topics? Like half the OPs on here are some gay shit like >How do we fix the scrimblopunk genre?Or>How do you accurate portray glup shittos in your game?
>>97252585This is a hobbyist board, people want to engage in their creative hobbies and discuss their experiences with other people who engage in the same creative hobby. Those inane questions come from a very identifiable place, of someone who didn't engage in the hobby, otherwise instead of "are your elves blonde?" the OP would talk about which elves he thinks are cooler and why they work like that on his setting, and how does that relate to everything and affects his games.
Because /tg/ has the worst mods and has had zero real clean up and policing post the nazi mod incident of 2014 or so.

Because people get a kick out of beatings down anything that might be even slightly cool. There is one that lurks /btg/ and he's just fucking painful. He lives to start arguments and shit on everyone because he has nothing else to contribute to the thread. This place doesn't need to turn into reddit, because if you offer a shit opinion you should be rightfully shat upon, but the sheer amount of utter cunts that exist to ruin other people's day for no reason is unreal. There's a place for that, and its called /b/ and /pol/. Not fucking /tg/.We're supposed to be a bastion of creativity but as soon as anyone tries to do anything you just get a legion of fuckheads drilling into the foundations because they're to stupid to realize that they literally are the cancer killing /tg/.

This is a second OSRG, seperate from the main osrg thread, where you CAN talk about 2e, retroclones, and any osr content you want.This is different than the regular osrg as due to rampant trolling from a handful of bad actors, discussion is impossible.PREVIOUS THREAD>>97206318
>>97251782Fun fact, most of that trope comes from wizardry.look at the OVA for the OG wizardry, its right there.>>97226914ive wanted spellcards for BX for such a long time. i love the idea of handing out cards that have the spell description on them.
>>97251782It is a step in that direction, but if it's the only place you are doing it probably wouldn't be hard to keep a lid on it.That being said, I don't implement anything like that at my table.
>>97251892>Fun fact, most of that trope comes from wizardry.Most of that trope comes from modern Isekai being based on MMORPGs.
>>97251782>Players now have a mechanical reason to play heroes who believe in something and have faith in the gods. They might even discussDamn, that sounds like a real problem.Unlike the fedoratheist who comes to a setting where the gods are provably real and goes "But I don't believe in them, lmao".Do your players discuss XP in character? Or their ability scores? Or do they instead say "He's a great hero and mighty of thew."?If the latter then they'll probably be perfectly fine with translating it into in-character with >'I'm favoured by Glibbglubb, Lady of the Dark Tempest, ever since I ate out that Mermaid High-Priestess to save the party.' >"...was the bottom half human or-" >'I don't want to talk about it.'
What OSR game feature Heritage-Americans only as the playable race?
>Halflings to do the farming>Dwarves to do the smithing and mining>Gnomes to do the researching>Elves to do magic>Humans to do the fighting (and thus, the ruling)This seems the obvious perfect order to things. Humans don't want to be the peasant farmers, we want to be the knights and lords, but somebody has to farm, somebody has to smith, etc. Why not have the other races do the menial peasant stuff that they specialize in anyways?
>>97251874No, I want to mine, farm, and make machines.
>>97251916kek had the same thought
>>97251874rulers don't fight, they sit around and tell people to do stuff
>>97251874Only psychopaths want to fight and rule. And then the peasant revolts happen and the leaders undergo humiliation rituals that forever emasculate their legacy. Deserved end.
>>97251874If elves do magic, they're the ones ruling, you humies are just going into the mobic cube for your magical overlords.

Trying to explain making a character to a friend who has never played.The best way to think about is:- strength (and constitution) is for melee weapon classes like fighter and barbarian- charisma is for sorcerer, paladin, cleric, and bard- intelligence is for wizard- wisdom is for ranger and druid- dexterity is for rogueBut you can choose other classes in whichever sourcebooks! You can always multiclass later on and this is recommended if you want to minmax for certain battle roles.The manual roll method is when you roll 4d6 per attribute then remove the die with the lowest result, which means you can get anywhere from 3 to 18 in any attributes—but most dungeon masters allow for rerolls of extremely low results. You can also try the standard array but you won't get high results; it just creates an even character that will survive the first few sessions better than a glass cannon or low stat character.
