>>97407537I mean, I wrote a whole writefag about romance, does that make me a pedo?
My little JITTIES, what are you working on? I read Funeral for a Friend and it fueled me to get another 1000 words done.
>>97407601>sissification fetishOh my bad. I forgot about THAT. Yeah, I don't fully agree, but anons who hate Sallyanon do have a valid justification there. I think I just deleted that part of MHA's history from my mind.
>>97407748I’m brainstorming, but I’ve been brainstorming for quire a while. I should make a solid outline for my next writefag, because I need to line up those story beats like a scriptwriter before I start writing
>>97407748Touching grass. New character ain't sparking joy for me to write for him, so I'm just doing other things with my time. Like resting.
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?

>>97404518It's really about pure enjoyment at this point – he's been a boil on our collective ass for so long that it's a pleasure just to dunk on him. Eventually I'm pretty sure people will just report and stop bothering.
>>97404572No. In OD&D, the chance and level of spells available is simply determined by the dragon type and the dragon's Hit Dice do not affect this (e.g. a blue dragon has a 70% chance of being able to speak and those speaking dragons have a 15% chance of being able to use spells from the 1st and 2nd level). The golden dragon's description implies that dragons gain one spell per age category, but the description is arguably phrased as an exception and it may be that other dragons were not intended to operate on the same principle. Level equivalent for purposes of duration etc. is not specified. In AD&D, the rules are substantially the same; HD are still irrelevant, but spell acquisition by age category is more clearly detailed. "Caster level" of cast spells remains unspecified, but the natural assumption from looking at the rest of the system is that it must be driven by age rather than HD, which would make the youngest dragon's spells as powerful as the oldest's in terms of range and damage.In Moldvay Basic, talking dragons automatically cast spells, doing away with one roll; their spell access also does not vary per age category, to make things easier for the referee, no doubt. Effective level for spell purposes is again unspecified.>>97402703Kek, it's just showing the 3D-embossed version of the shape and you apparently got a dud. It's the first image, though; second shape like Anon suggested.
>>97404706That makes sense, thank you. Especially when looking at an Ancient Red Dragon in AD&D being able to cast two 4th level spells just like a level 8 MU.
>>97404572>>97404706>>97404855What I do in practice is: I look up the spells that the dragon can cast, and assign the dragon the MU level that best matches those spells. It's usually not a perfect match, but it's close enough that it's usually unequivocal.>CaptchaAh! I see now, the shape's inside colour and the background colour were the same, so it's only showing the shades.
>>97404903>What I do in practice is: I look up the spells that the dragon can cast, and assign the dragon the MU level that best matches those spells. It's usually not a perfect match, but it's close enough that it's usually unequivocal.Yes, this is what I do too, but I didn't want to muddle the issue with Anon's actual question so I left it out and confined myself to what the rules actually say.

Is your experience with TTRPGs more broad, or deep? Have you played a variety of systems, or mostly focused on a single one? I'm interested in what modern /tg/ looks like in this regard. What year did you first play a TTRPG? For the purposes of this thread, we're not counting solo RPGs or one/two page games.In no particular order, list which TTRPGs you have played at least one campaign in, indicating editions if you think it matters. If you GM'd that system, put an asterisk next to it.
/tg/ doesn't play games anymore so it's pointless to ask.
2018-2019Dnd 3.5*Dnd 5e*Dark Heresy*Pokethulhu*Mecha HackCall of CthulhuNo Thank You EvilThere are a few more game I tried to GM but didn't manage to complete a session with.
>>97402542Started 2009D&D 3.5*GURPSSotDL*Savage WorldsGenesysFriend's OSR heartbreakerToo many one-shots to mention but I did run a pseudo-campaign with more or less the same players in a bunch of different supers systemspasticheing various aspects of the DC/Marvel universes.Wild Talents, Spectaculars, Prowlers & Paragons, Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, GURPS again
>>97402542>Is your experience with TTRPGs more broad, or deepMost of my games are set in prohibition-era noir, where I invariably go deep in a broad.
>>97402542All the D&Ds and oWoDs (including Mind's Eye). Lots of the West End games, including a Star Wars game that's prolly the longest-running campaign I ever played. Lots of Palladium, particularly Rifts. Lots of Talislanta and Earthdawn. Amber diceless and LOGAS. A variety of old superhero games like Marvel and TMNT. Many the gurps. Without Number series. A variety of other retclones. Star Trek Adventures and the Alien RPG semi-recently. Hell, I dunno what else. I'm old and been doing this a long time. I've run pretty much all of them, too. What's the topic, though? Are we all just making mindless lists? The depth of my experience are AD&D 2e, oWoD and VtM. The breadth is mostly 90s games that no one remembers.
Why do elves look down on humans so much?
>>97403062What game?
>>97406892/tg/ - Everything But Games
>>97403885There was one setting that I frustratingly can't remember now that had a paragraph on something touching on this; basically that their elves found human society frustrating and bewildering. Politically for the reasons you said (coupled with the occasional complete about-face on previous policy and treaties because New Ruler needs to make their mark), but socially in that daily life and culture was more or less the same day to day, but could radically change from decade to decade (this is likely some post-industrialisation/20th century bias creeping in here, I'll admit). It was a pace they found distasteful.
>>97403062Why do white people look down on black people so much?
>>97407160>Politically for the reasons you said (coupled with the occasional complete about-face on previous policy and treaties because New Ruler needs to make their mark),I once ran a campaign whose entire premise hinged on a conflict starting because a human king starting up a new mining operation on the other side of a river in uncontested, unclaimed territory... and triggering dragons landing in human towns delivering messages from the elvish nobility that humans had violated the terms of their agreement and they must vacate the elven lands within one years tie or they would be made to leave by force. Essentially, hundreds of years ago, the elves let the human mercenaries that fought for them settle in a corner of the elvish lands provided that they kept inside of their borders and didn't make too much of a mess of the place. But the land that the humans kingdoms are built on is still *elvish land*, they are just letting the humans use it. The human king just build a mine where he wasn't supposed to and has violated that agreement, with the elves now withdrawing their permission for the humans to continue living there. The human king has no idea what the elves are talking about, the humans had no record of any of this. The elves say thats not their problem. The human king says that surely there can be some leniency because this is a first offense, the elves say that this *isn't* the first offense, they have had to remind us of this *several times* and they have reached the limit of their patience with us. The problem being that at this point there are half a dozen human kingdoms sharing this region, but not only is human memory short but the elves treat all of them as a single entity, not bothering to care who did what. One kingdom breaks the agreement and ruins things for all humans in the region, regardless of nationality.
>>97406739Trolls are a lot like Ogres in the sense there's so many different versions of them. Do violent animals, to smart enough to talk but very dumbly. To being hurt/turned to stone by sunlight to immune to sunlight. Often times they can just be giants or small giants.I do like the new AoS trolls GW has made ut they've gone into the 'long floppy ear' troll aesthetic your pic also does.WoW trolls being blue warhammer trolls but with longer trolls and are jamaicans with voodoos magic is the worst type of troll ever conceived

>>97406203Well, Harry Potter used them as mere animals abused to guard treasures for wizards or goblins. Dresden Files used them as demigods that could change form and use high class magic.
>>97320501No it didn't. Traditional medicine was entirely useless. I'm saying that as an actual doctor posted in a rural area.
>Exposure to sapients can induce a soul in objects.>Ships gain Klabautermann due to decades or centuries of sailors.

Best case scenario, they can actually help defend the colony from dangerous accidents and outside attack.
>>97407111>Well, Harry Potter used them as mere animals abused to guard treasures for wizards or goblinsNTA, but they were also essentially treated like cattle, being allowed to live only in specifically designated dragon reserves where they are regularly harvested for parts.Dragons are used for everywhere in the wizarding world like>their heart strings are one of the most common and powerful cores for wands>their hide is has magic resistant properties and is used for fancy clothing like jackets and boots and the like, but also for protective equipment like gloves all children are exppected to wear for potion class.>their blood has a dozen known uses ranging from being a useful potion ingredient to being used as spot remover and oven cleaner.>their meat is put on wounds to help treat the pain, also occasionally prepared and eaten like DragonTartare>they produce milk that is used for cheese making>powered dragon claw is snorted by students before exams as it supposdely helps the brain focus. Its also used in potions>their dung is used as fertilizer for magical herbs>their horns were also powdered and used in potions.>their livers and eggs were used in potions tooPersonally I really like this as Dragons in setting are not really any less dangerous than you expect dragons to be, but they've become the equivalent of powerful animals in the real world where we have to go out of our way to not hunt them to extinction, only difference is their parts also useful beyond just status symbol.
>>97407377As I said, abused animals. HP is an anthrocentric setting where humans are the center of creation.

Necromancy Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/.

>>97407645I'm a little surprised by the popularity of printed models for the game itself, official and proxy. At the outset, I thought being models-agnostic was supposed to be a major draw.It's not necessarily bad, just I thought people would be slamming their bits boxes together more.

>>97407356>im afraid i will fuck up paintingStripping paint is easy.You just took your time painting very slowly and you'll have good result. Most of the choppy shitty paint job come from people hastily painted the miniatures. Eventually you will realize that you had too many models but not enough time to keep painting slowly, that's where the skill and improvement come. Start slow,then gradually try to improve and paint faster with same result.Also if you invest in airbrushing you can paint much faster and get a buttery smooth surface that would normally hard to achieve for a novice painter using paint brush. You still need to use paint brushs for the smaller details.

How do you design a functional and realistic social network for a court intrigue campaign?
>>97404693A friend had way too many players wanting to get in a game so he decided to do a court thing. All the PCs had important positions and personal agendas. The real kicker was that only the GM knew what everybody actually wanted, so there was a very cool sense of actual paranoia. In the end, my character and his brother ended up simultaneously poisoning each other at a feast due to an argument over succession rights. Turns out we had come up with the exact same plot and thought it was too smart for anyone to figure out

>>97397334The whole tech right fad was so interesting because traditionally, the GOP represented old money via land ownership(mining, oil, ranching, farming etc) while the Dems represented new money through high finance, emerging industries like green energy, Silicon Valley, etc. At first I thought it was just punishment for the Dems appointing Lina Khan but now I think there's something deeper afoot. That techfags legit think they should directly rule and they'll either leave the sinking ship or just totally rebrand the GOP in their image. Since of course they don't care about 90% of the shit normie Republicans do like abortion etc.
