In your game, do you treat bows as strength- or dexterity-based weapons?
>>97223103Perception-based.Just like dodging.As it should have been
>>97227798Also, stronger bows have BOTH Strength and Agility (Agility, not Dexterity, those are separate stats) requirements to use them.
>>97227801Lot of systems do this for longbows. (Like in OP pic)
>>97223103strength for pulling the string (damage) and dexterity for aim (hit chance)
>>97223103This looks like shit.
Welcome to the New School Revolution General, the thread dedicated to games derived from the OSR movement.>What is NSR?>NSR is a subcategory of the OSR, it mostly follows the same play style but experiments further with the mechanics and settings.>Broadly NSR games have a gm, a living world, are rules light, deadly and focus on emergent narrative, interaction and exploration.>What is this thread NOT for?Meta discussions or drama of the games and its creators aka shadowboxing with twitter, reddit and the OSRG (frens with osrbros)>stay on topic>gamesShadowdark, into the odd, mausritter, cairn, mörk borg (and its hacks), dungeon crawl classics, mothership, knave, troika!, whitehack, blackhack, old school essentials (we know this is just a retroclone), etc. >links, resources, more games!, etc:https://pastebin.com/0W8WmbCk (BROKEN we're working on it) Comment too long.

>>97227821>Into the Odd and The Black HackThose are both NuSR games
>>97227842>Bork is closer to GURPS than to D&Dhas to be a bait. GURPS is roll 3d6 bell curve, Borg is linear d20>"has ability scores" makes every RPG a clone, "d20 vs target" is genericit's not just it has stats, it's the modifier spread:D&D's 3-18 stat range yields a modifier from -3 to +3in Borg you roll 3d6, use a table to determine a stat from -3 to +3>damage/restGURPS: shock penalties, limb targeting, consciousness checks at negative HPWarhammer: critical injury tables, insanity pointsBorg: you have HP, when it hits 0, you dieit's the D&D abstraction, it's not "generic" it's specifically the Gygaxian model of health
>>97227913Reading comprehension, in the name of God, Anon. Bork is closer to GURPS than to D&D *in the array of ability scores specifically*.
>>97226876Do shadowrun and morkborg belong in /osrg/?
>>97227761>Mork Bork literally has nothing in common mechanically with other OSR systemsBait>It's not a clone of any degree of distance, it's a system created entirely from scratch Lmao WHAT

If it was for me, I'd subject the entire planet to Exterminatus, humanity going extinct would be a better outcome than being controlled by any one of these bozos and their vomit-inducing ideologies, which may be also backed by giant mind-raping alien worms. I had to wait Age of Wonders: Planetfall to have a sci-fi Civ-like game with factions that were (barely) tolerable.

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
>>97226762Personally I don't like the explorer, I think it's too tied down to one region sadly.I'm not sure how to fix it, maybe either a specific terrain bonus or 'Any hex you've secured a reasonable route through counts as known territory for you, doesn't have to be fully explored, you just have to have your bearings'
>>97227565Those are pretty cool ideas anon. Shrimps suddenly sawing through the bottom of the boat is a fun way to start an encounter on open water.>personally id never include fish"""people""" in my games, disgusting to even ponder themI think stuff like Kuo-Toa and Sahuagin make for fun enemies, not sure why you're against them specifically. Your game though. I might have some Sahuagin show up in a game riding some kind of sharks. Or maybe were-sharks who arrive as mounts for the warriors, only to morph into their regular forms and assume leadership positions.
>>97226728Trolling, this thread should be called ACKSg. Jannies, please delete.

>>97224016actually what is the scale of corruption for DH/DW/RT? I've only ran BC where the effects of corruption are much more granular and it gives you a better idea of how to award it but in other RPGs its just 100 you fall. Generally my corollary has always been you don't get it just from proximity to warp stuff (excluding exposure to the raw warp itself) by interacting with it. I.e not from being near a ritual or dark tome but taking part or reading the tome (radical shit). For BC I generally only award it for mundane shit like dueling a powerful loyalist/rival in single combat or killing psykers for khorne unless they invoke the god and make their eyes fall on them. Obvious for more baroque acts that please a god or doing rituals, warp stuff etc. you are getting a point regardless.
>>97227631>but in other RPGs its just 100 you fall. Not really, in DH and RT you do get malignancies at regular corruption intervals, which represent minor mutations and the PCs mind getting more and more twisted. But a better guidline for how many should be awarded for what would definitely be useful. That being said, I always though it's a bit wonky that there are both insanity and corruption points. Sure, on one hand a character can get just "regularly" insane without any contact with Chaos, but someone who is becoming strongly affected by the warp probably isn't exactly right in the head either. And I feel like many situations that would "award" a PC with corruption points tend to be so traumatic that they should give them insanity points as well (contact with warp entities or phenomena, witnessing a drastic ritual etc.). I just feel like those concepts are too intertwined to warrant 2 completely separate type of resource
>>97227682>too intertwined to warrant 2 completely separate type of resourceWhy not? Just means that you also hand out insanity when you hand out corruption (if it's fitting), not the other way around.>>97227523I think he tried to write "sigh"
with all the AI there is on the internet, google only give me is the same oni mask done a million timesthe internet is dead (or at least google image search)

If elves weren't the pinnacle of all creation than why do they get the privilege of working in Santa's workshop?
>>97227749One would think that because the elves are magic they'd be able to magically make the stuff kids want regardless of the eraLike they can bring forth all the tech needed to make a phone and they just have to put it together
>>97227688>Santa chooses goblins instead of elves to make his toys>Becomes basically Sauron crossed with Jack skellington or robot santa from futurama
>>97227864Yeah but in my headcanon here they can't. You meet a depressed elf gf and help her learn there is more to life than making wooden trains.
>>97227885while she simultaneously reminds you of life's simple joys.
I know this is just some off-topic shitposting thread, but some people really struggle with the concept of a name applying to different things.
Thread #02 Lean Winter on the TundraPrevious Thread: >>97090196Welcome to /un0/, an RP thread for playing a World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness Hunter. For any OOC questions about WoD/CofD, check the official general. >>97224887Rules:>We are acephale. There is no storyteller, we are not a quest.>This thread is based primarily but not exclusively in the nWoD/CofD game Hunter: the Vigil. However, Vigil is defined by being highly setting agnostic, with a system for creating entirely custom monsters that do not exist in other WoD/CofD games. Thus, you have significant freedom in what you want to play and what you want to hunt. Feel free to play a member of the Society of Leopold, or a member of the Lucifuge hot on the tail of a Lasombra.>Namefagging is encouraged but by no means mandatory.>Keep in mind that even highly experienced Hunters typically only have fractured pieces of the puzzle, and every table has their own canon.

Please play an actual Hunter.>Spoiler any OOC discussion.Happy hunting. Unless this thread somehow takes off like a rocket, this will be the last un0 thread for the foreseeable future. Towards the end of the thread, please give your feedback in regard to these shorter, limited run RP threads.
>>97227153>>97226645Yeah, the last few days have been quite something. I've been fighting an infection I got on the last hunt.So we find this ship crewless, floating. Cyrillic name, oбильный, apparently it translates to "bountiful". Normal russian fishing boat, not out of the ordinary in these waters. I strap on the go pro and get my gun, we split into three teams. One goes below, one stays on the deck of the fishing boat, and one stays on our deck so nobody can sabotage or take it. The place looked bad, some blood stains on the deck, signs of a struggle. Down below was cleaner, but still real eerie. Everyone's gone, and whatever did it was smart enough to turn off their transponder, demolish the radio, and turn out the lights. I'm recording everything I can and trying to determine if the ship itself was a front, pretty sure it wasn't, when we hear a gunshot from up on the deck. Below team rushes up to see a half-dozen humanoids, dripping wet, straight out of the freezing Bering Sea rushing our boys. Good news is, bullets seem to work just fine on them. I nail one in the chest and it goes overboard, doesn't come back up. Then another hunter, guy I didn't know very well screams like hell. There's a squid wrapped around his neck biting deep with its beak. Someone rips it off and it starts running on its tentacles across the deck. I shoot it and it explodes, then one of the humanoids bowls into me. I got a good look at it. He used to be human, but his face is all fucked up. Webbed fingers too, and a weird scaley rash. Reviewing the gopro footage, he had a cyrillic tattoo, probably one of the fishermen. One of my cellmates takes a boathook to its eye and drags it off of me. The survivors all bail but the guy who got bit in the neck bleeds out, we couldn't stop the flow that thing chewed straight through his carotid.
>>97227453Then the boat rocks. We're all retreating back to our boat to bid a retreat and I shit you not I have footage of a massive tentacle arising out of the sea. I'm talking kraken size. We get the hell out of there, shooting the tentacles as we start speeding back towards land. During the escape I slipped and cut my hand like a motherfucker on something metal, real embarrassing way to take a hunting injury. Infection has me holed up, but I should be fine long term, and we want to keep our heads down after that anyway. Still, can't sleep well. Trying to figure out how to kill the kraken and its pelagic zombie servants. My cred in Net0 is going to shoot up from all this good footage but I feel pretty hollow about that. Getting the information out there is important, but I'm concerned more with the practical threat this thing poses. That's what's been up with good ol' GNP. hope you all are having a better time of it out there. honestly I find TQs a little immersion undermining for an RP thread like this.
>>97226968>an RP thread for playing a World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness Hunter.>>>/qst/ is that wayAnd this sort of threads weren't allowed even before /qst/ became a thing anyway
>>97227453>>97227460Goodness, that is certainly a dreadful discovery. Were you able to learn anything about the start of the attack? Shame about the infection but that is certainly some excitement you got. I suppose if the kraken sticks to that one area, and you took some remains, you could find a mystic to lay a curse or three on it. Wither it to death and all that.
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.

>>97222204>nice digitsWhy? I don't like the romantic part of the normal humans, but reading how the Legion fell was interesting and tragic, which I think was the point of the novel, a sad tragic story of the Legion that tried to achieve perfection and fell in degeneration in the process.

Stop buying miniatures.
i think most all of these are really cool, i've always loved the idea of games you can build yourself.
Does anyone have good art or resources for this? I've always wanted but I can't draw for shit and I wanna get some pretty ones for my players.

Anyone here could spruce it up a little. Most of the info is barely 2 pages long at the beginning, middle and towards the end, excluding the little story that's just the same thing at the middle but in a much longer story format and not that good, I much prefer the raw info.
