>>96464958if you want it removable, use magnets
>>96465102my old and trusted local arts & crafts store of 30 years recently went out of business and im all out of magnetsand no i was not quick enough for the firesale it was all cleaned out
>>96464968Looks nice. Is it a resin cast? Or a print done by them?
>>96465339It's a resin print by them. I had ordered a box of failed prints that was full of random parts and pieces, and it included the parts of a couple vehicles (this being the only complete one). You can see where one wheel is kinda up off the ground (the frame's a bit warped) and the windshield frame is broken, but it's hidden by the roof. All in all, the quality for a 'failed' print is damn good. Too bad they ship from Ukraine, which means it's gonna be a long while before I can get more stuff from them here in the US.

I feel like making something, ideally something OSR-adjacent. This is kind of an open-ended question: what RPG supplement or other cool thing does /tg/ want to see? Think something you'd pay between $3 and $5 for.I've got some game design and writing experience. I can handle graphic design and illustration (and sound too, if relevant). I just want some input on what you think might be cool. Trying to decide what to put a little time into.
>>96464475Recommending the /osrg/ is like telling someone with an open wound that they should seek medical attention in an open sewer.
>>96463772>guys, I have an idea how to make money>well...I don't really have an idea but you will help me get an idea
>>96464572I'm aware. He said he wants to make OSR material though. He chose the sewer already.
>>96464475I have lots of ideas. Mostly I wanted to see what /tg/ might think was cool. It's less about having ideas at all and more about trying to see what other people might be interested in. I figured about 3/4 of it would be insults and jokes, which seems about right, but sometimes people give interesting feedback.>>96464598Coming up with "an idea" is the easiest part of the process. I literally have hundreds of ideas, I'm not trying to source "ideas" as much as figure out what other people think might work. That other anon who recommended somehting from Sumerian or Aztec culture, for example.>>96464610Why is OSR the sewer? I guess I'm not tied to that idea specifically, my thought was that it would be good to make supplementary material because OSR stuff tends to be more system-agnostic, and I thought that might get a better response.

>>96465815actually it's cause it's f2p, runs on a potato and it's on mobile so it has just about the same reach as something like genshin except way less appeal cause anime bitches >>>>> tranny hags of diverse colors
Its because the game is infested with stinky filthy brown people shitting up the board and the que. its why it takes two minutes to mulligan because a sub 70 thurdie is trying to read the cards and make a decision. Its why the game is rigged so these subhumans can feel like they are gamers too and are having fun so they might spend money even if it is worth less than real money.
>>96465815See what I mean, this nameschizo >>96465975 has talked about quitting and selling his account for ages, yet he continues to play every day and post about it too. He even blatantly lies to defend it, the mobile performance is objectively terrible and is well known to not work well on older devices. But he's addicted, so he always finds excuses to keep playing.
Trying to hammer out a solid setting/headcanon for a unified Alien/Predator universe. Here's my take on what to keep , what to shitcan and what to add:>Things to KEEP: The Queen and the hive from Aliens. Gives the bugs a purpose beyond just being murder-insects. Diverse Alein lifeforms (e.g., the T. Ocellus from the Alein Earth). Gritty corporate dystopia. Weyland-Yutani is the real villain. "Truckers in space" aesthetic is mandatory. The Engineer/Forerunner concept, but ONLY as a way to explain panspermia. It elegantly explains why so many species are biologically compatible (e.g., Facehuggers working on humans and Yautja). It also supports my favorite fan theory: the Yautja didn't invent their advanced technology; they inherited or reverse-engineered it. This explains how a tribal, honor-based society can also have plasma casters and FTL ships.>Things to discard:The AvP movie lore. Predators did not build pyramids on Earth. The Human/Xenomorph Hybrid (looking at you, Newborn): This completely demystifies the Xenomorph for me. The horror of the Alien is its otherness. It's already the ultimate killer because it takes traits from its host—it's already optimized to hunt us. Making it more human just makes it less scary. The "Magic" Black Goo: As it stands in the prequel films, the goo is a narrative crutch. It can create, it can destroy, it can mutate... it can do whatever the plot needs. I'd either discard it entirely or give it hard, consistent rules.>Things to ADD: More alien life in general. The galaxy feels way too empty with just humans, Xenos, and Preds.Comment too long.

>>96458998>But the powers that be will absolutely fuck you over for a percentage. Crew expendable.I don't even think it's that bad. In Alien, WY is fucking ruthless, but nobody expects them to be that bad. Right up until they see the evidence, they assume that the company wouldn't throw their lives away. It is obviously meant to be a shocking revalation that the crew are expendable. That isn't the attitude of someone living in a cyberpunk-style world. At worst it's equivalent to modern-day where things are pretty bad for a lot of people, but most normies can still tell themselves that society is more-or-less OK. I think it's more likely the intent that for it to be basically 1970-80s America where society as a whole was pretty much OK, with a few fucked-up things going on but well-concealed from the public.Aliens doesn't seem any worse. Some bureaucrats are dismissive of what sounds like a crazy story, one influential guy is a psychopath, and he can pull some strings to manipulate events. But the marines are basically good people, and everyone seems to expect society to function OK.In 3 you have a bit of a step towards dystopia. Then the comics (and, to a lesser extent, the novels) go absolutely crazy with shit like the berserker program (40k dreadnaughts with psycho prisoners inside, who get slowly killed by the suit) and the royal jelly (drug which turns people into insane killing machines extracted from aliens, which the military actually wants). Romulus has WY working its employees to death like some kind of third-world operation, and I think that is too far outside of most normal people's experience to really empathise with. Obviously big corporations now can have some employees who are basically fine and some who are pretty much slaves or whose lives are considered worth little, so it isn't unrealistic to mix them up. But it feels more realist to me if 'crew expendable' is a big deal.
sorry for not posting more. still reading the Omnibus comics.some ideas are cool. But most are mid. The white Human-alien-predator hybrid is stupid.
>>96430579This was the nastiest version of an Aliens story I've ever seen. Still makes me shiver. Awful, awful stuff.

>>96465066How you construct all 3 is different. NPCs use a different statline and wealth by default. Monsters don't use wealth at all, they use treasure rolls, and the abilities they have, number of HD, and stuff like natural armor are all completely arbitrary, which is never the case for an NPC or PC.
>>964634511. Hollow's Last Hope is a PF module but for new players it's a good enough entry. Rare disease hits the town and PCs need to gather some ingredients to cure it. If PCs local they also most likely have sick relatives (which is recommended). You get some overland route planning, some monsters that do not sit on each other's heads and some random encounters in the forest. Nothing spectacular but as an entry module solid enough. 2. PF1e is basically same shit from a different angle. They didn't really make anything better. In fact they fucked up some things pretty hard (I'm looking at you split combat feats). So there is no real reason to actually switch. PF2e is aggressively mediocre with a lot of weird design decisions that don't actually make game better, just more tedious. If I want a different fantasy game I'd better switch to WEG d6. 3. I like E6. You would be surprised how much bullshit you can do in just 6 levels. Especially if you allow some Unearthed Arcana stuff. Though even a Fighter 6 with Core+Complete Warrior can outperform siege engines against castles. While unarmed. And a lot of stuff that wouldn't be considered in a full scale game actually works perfectly fine in E6.
>>96465366>which is never the case for an NPC or PC.>Dragons enter the chat>Non-humanoid pc races enter the chat
>>96465342Not quite, while certainly helpful to have wealthy sponsors and support networks it doesn't REQUIRE a high-class background and even back in the TSR days they didn't NEED a god in the loop of Celestia-powered Evil-smiting.>>96465366This doesn't change that their in-play rules once the statblock is finished are overwhelmingly the same such that very nearly anything that can act upon a player character is coherent to apply to NPCs and monsters. The only remotely typical exceptions are CR/ECL disparity affecting things like Truespeak DCs and XP totals.

I also wanted a knowledge skill for every stat but it was hard to find them. You get two Major Skills depending on the classes you pick, and about four Minor Skills? Minor Skills are 2d6+Modifier and Major Skills are 3d6+Modifiers. Generally? Attack is for physical power and presence. Defense is for physical toughness and ability to survive. Special Attack is your mental power and general intelligence. Special Defense is for empathy and acuity. Speed is for reflexes and quickness of body.>How many before it become too many?>How few before it is not enough?KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid. 4-6 Stats are generally enough if you have a skill system.
Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to TSR-era D&D, derived systems, and compatible content.Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons as played in the game's first decade — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching meta-plots and a greater emphasis on player agency.If you are new to the OSR, welcome!

Doubly rewarding players for spending money in ways they'd normally spend it is retarded. Your reward for spending money on a Cure spell is that you get Cured. If players don't level fast enough put out more treasure or lower the XP requirements per level.

>>96464400They mostly take people in desperate situations and trade off favours. There's mention of long-term arrangements/covenants, where a survivor is invested with power in exchange for a long-term partnership. Going by the cards, they feed on the survivors themselves or receive blood sacrifices in exchange for their support. No sign of old-fashioned written contracts, it seems all they run on is a handshake, drop of blood and a promise.
>>96465777>Google docs says 38.You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.>Thanks! I figured it'd serve well as a more traditionally Xianxiaish outfit once the cyan/cultivation markings starts to set in.

Or just how they see sleeping in general.You’d probably start cultivating Divine Delusion while sleeping.
>>96465817For context, I'm wondering what Adyseach might request in exchange for temporary companionship and ten years worth of knowledge from him, if I don't want to actually offer him a ticket off of Duskmourn.Maybe 200cp's worth of jumper power is enough to pay off the whole debt, since that's what it costs to take him as a companion by default. To something planebound like Adyseach, 200cp's worth of power might be an equivalent exchange in its own right.Just wary about making deals with demons, you know?
>>96465889>You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.I intend to! No worries in that aspect.>They’d work well for sect robes, yeah.Mmhm I sorta like the idea of sect robes going from fairly plain. Monk like things like he wore as a novice to more fanciful xianxia stuff like you'd usually expect as you go up the ranks/Stages.>You’d probably start cultivating Divine Delusion while sleeping.True. I just like thinking on the details a bit. Given constructing mental defenses is important before moving onto a certain step after the scapes emerged fully. I imagine midna helping with that a little bit of probing testing his mental defenses....Though I'm sort of imagining a dreamscape version of a tower defense game or plants vs zombies.
>>96465965>Mmhm I sorta like the idea of sect robes going from fairly plain. Monk like things like he wore as a novice to more fanciful xianxia stuff like you'd usually expect as you go up the ranks/Stages.Makes sense.>Given constructing mental defenses is important before moving onto a certain step after the scapes emerged fully.There are probably whole books written on good practices for mental defenses.>...Though I'm sort of imagining a dreamscape version of a tower defense game or plants vs zombies.It’s important to be able to fend off attackers, not just endure them.
The only acceptable magic element are Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Aether.These elements have been a staple for thousands of years across every civilization in history.From the americas to Europe to Asia. Using anything else stupid.
>>96462373Problem is that you're equating pieces of a shattered image with the production of the hologram itself. They're not the same or equivalent, same as how Aether is not the same or equivalent to the four elements.
>>96422536Aether is the greek duct tape element though? While void was that one japanese element of the mind, replacing either wood or metal in the chinese 5 together with air
>>96446457>>96457331>>96457847This anon put it best >>96463077>Aether is the greek duct tape elementAether is supposed to be everything the other 4 elements are not.Kinda makes sense why it doesnt really work as an element anymore, we studied reality more and discovered that Aether was more than just 1 thing. Now we know its got Light and Void and Gravity and Time and whatever else
>>96463149And that is exactly why Aether doesn't work. If elements are literally elemental, then there can't be a fifth "misc." element that's for a bunch of other stuff, it only tells you your elements aren't complete and those in the bin need to be sorted as well.
>>96462373Yeah literal reality warping should not be accessible. Why I don’t let players take the more broken spells.
So, now you need to decide. Do you close your eyes to what you've seen and go back to sleep?

>>96465189NTA but we get what you are saying. I am spoiled with a group that will play almost everything I put in front of them, everyone is extremely good with picking up all the rules from a single teach and play competitively the first time around. We still say "hey, I'd like to play X next time". If the stars align they all might even learn the rules beforehand (ok that happened exactly once).
