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.

What are some of your experiences with BRP or mythras? Favorite stories, characters, or supplements?

I generally like running pulp or horror campaigns. Funniest story setup was how my players thwarted a small series of adventures I planned before it even started.
>Players role up an old priest, a journalist, and basically fred from scooby doo.
>Investigating a series of murders and disappearances.
>Get captured thesmelves and wind up in a rundown factory converted to sort of look likea victorian mansion.
>Meet an obvious vampire who uses them for basic company and conversation before planning to kill them.
>My players escape, the frail priest manages to full nelson the vampire, and the other players manage to use a stake to kill him.

It ended what I planned to be a multi session adventure in one night. It was a lot of lucky roles and ended up with being funny.

It doesn't bother me in the slightest. Anything published after, say, 2002, is fanfiction as far as I'm concerned. There are no female Custodes, the Primarchs are never coming back, Primaris Marines don't exist, Cadia did not blow up, the Cicatrix Maledictum isn't real, and so on. I don't care if you're employed by Games Workshop to write material about 40K, anything you or anyone else says is meaningless to me. I consider 40K to be an eternally static setting with a deliberately unrevealed future - anything that progresses the stories is anathema to that and I will ignore it.

Anyone play it yet? I like the "rustic fantasy" setting. The core rules seem interesting, it has more mechanics and gameplay than most other narrative games. I enjoy that it doesn't have moves or whatever to confine you, you can actually play your character and do whatever you want. It's got enough knobs and options in terms of resolution I feel like it's actually a real game despite having that more story focus vs simulation focus. And I like that the DM has all the traditional power of the DM and there's not like "Fate Points" or something else that gives players control to change stuff.
Thinking I might try a short game for my table, just a few lower powered sessions. It also has good tools for a solo stuff which is interesting.

Chat GPT's answer is rather intriguing, I'm going to try to get it to give me some more authoritative sources. It is really annoying too because 3.5 is such abandonware at this point, why does it matter if I reference their creatures, when they don't make stuff for 3.5 anymore.

>>97279453
Yeah I read some guys blog and it wasn't hugely helpful.
It really does sound like you have to make such vague references. Like "there is a tall horned humanoid, a minotaur with earth elemental talents, you can learn more from the third Tome of Monsters on page 113, if you know what I mean" but even that might be too much.

Honestly? Might just copy some stats for monsters, change their ability wording (probably improve it, if anything) and do things that way. Just rename it and change it enough. Like those guys who made "OGL safe illithids" for Pathfinder.

ironically this solution screws over WotC more because it bypasses their content entirely, and means that fewer people will buy their books (not that most people would be anyway, nor is WotC even making money off of 3.5 books anymore)

Hello everybody.
I am planning a dwarf based campaign (all my PCs will be dwarves and the majority of items, feats, monsters etc will, in some shape or form, be associated with dwarves as a race) for next session.
Can anyone please recommend any d20 3.5 books that are, for the most part, dwarf themed.

So far I have used Races of Stone (WotC), Dungeon/Dragon Magazine articles, Quintessential Dwarf I/II (Mongoose), Heroes Of High Favor - Dwarves (Badaxe Games), Races Of Renown - Hammer & Helm (Green Ronin) and Advanced Race Codex - Dwarves (Green Ronin).

Thank you in advance.
>>
>>97279899
Depends on the type of dwarfing you're getting up to but Drow of the Underdark and Forgotten Realms - Underdark have sections on cave ecology, spelunking, and the like.

how do you run an osr-adjacent game without magical healing?

you might want to check out Cartel (the pbta Narcos game) or the 100 Bullets comic for inspiration, it's like a modernized digestible take on the era without the kids on bikes trope.
>>
>>97279021
>how do you run an osr-adjacent game without magical healing?
In ItO games you have 1d6hp that recovers with minimal resting but all attacks hit. Damage above your hp is taken down from your stats. Functionally what is called "HP" is actually consumable AC.
If your stats go down you roll under your new lowered stat and if you fail it's a crit. I don't recall how it goes in ItO but in this one crit damage means you're down until someone takes an action to help you.
People went down and up all the time. Any hit has a high chance of downing you, anyone can pick you up, you are constantly more and more likely to go down with any hit.
That aspect went pretty good, the players had multiple options and tried things I doubt they would in other settings/systems.

The mechanics for automatic weapons are also pretty good and in-line with the system. You roll a die for each target and everyone gets the lower one. That means each new target probably lowers the damage, but after a couple rounds all HP is spent so any damage could be critical and get them out of the fight.

It was a decent one shot. I just wish I had some better way to make players adapt to a different genre.

I recalll 100 Bullets being more grunge than glam. I wanted that Phil Collins playing over a shoot out kind of vibe, the closest players got was wantign Push It To The Limit playing all the time. But I read like over a decade ago.
>>
>>97279136
>I don't recall how it goes in ItO
Similar but deadlier.
Failing a critical damage roll means you're out of action until someone else gets to you and you have a short rest to restore HP. If no one gets to you in an hour you're dead.
Sounds like the Miami 86 helping each other up is faster and fits the fleshwound action run and gun vibe. Combat in ItO can get very deadly very quickly if enough party members get hit and taken out of action. Tends to result in TPK or a few survivors running away in my experience. Might try the 86 method next time.
