>>97254411every board game has cardboard pieces, nobody on /tg/ complains.although drink cans can absolutely fuck your lip up pretty badly. and when i've had a moustache, there was a specific brand where my hairs would get caught under the ringpull (somehow PERFECTLY aligned) and yank them out. still better than the 'old style' cans though, where you had to actually pierce the top.

>>97218759By definition, as described under "unarmed attacks" bites count as unarmed attacks, so they qualify for the powerful fist ability."Certain ancestry feats, class features, and spells give access to special, more powerful unarmed attacks. For instance, goblins with the razortooth heritage can attack with their sharp jaws."
>>97189848>>97190019It's amazing how many people fail to realize this part.
>>97256144Draconic Acolyte isn't really Disciple. It's pretty clear that Dragonblooded is where you go for all the "be a dragon" feats like Scaly Hide and claws. Acolyte is more like a Final Fantasy Summoner or Lyria from Granblue, more about calling a dragon spirit and using that. It's cool but I rather have a real Disciple remaster over needing to take an heritage slot.
>>97250702Casters have worse saves all around, many martials actually have better Will saves and some will even have evasion on them before casters are at 3 expert saves. On top of Stupefied not actually doing anything to most martials, every other class would not have gotten fucked by it. Enfeebled is a joke for most classes. Clumsy is equally as bad for casters as for most martials just because they are already at worse AC, so putting them lower is asking to be crit on a sub 10 number. They're probably also making a lot of the same reflex saves just because spell range is pretty bad overall. Drained is equally bad for everyone and definitely the strongest of these four, but also the rarest. So, this actually is a caster debate when casters are more likely to get hit with these effects, and suffering more from them.As someone who casts Befuddle a lot, you fuck over enemy casters with it way more than you do anything else. And this is acknowledging that you can absolutely dumpster an enemy's Will save with it.
>>97256806The most I can really say about this being a caster debate is that caster defense progression is weirdly funky even between casters, especially between Prepared and Spontaneous casters. But even then, defense scaling is all over the place for everyone when it breaks down to brass tax. Many classes like Alchemist, Magus, Sorcerer and Wizard get no unique Level 3 feature or defense up. Class feature design is messy overall.Yeah, this can be spun into another "Paizo hates casters and hates (You)" debate but do you really want it to over more broad issues with the system?

In my setting, empowerment occurs on a cyclical basis and has been since time immemorial, leading to the old myths of gods and monsters having been based in fact. It occurs about once every hundred years, leading to "generations" of superpowered beings popping up across the globe.

Why were so many of the "OG" game designers insufferable faggots? It seems like the vast majority of game designers from the 70s and 80s were self-obsessed dickheads who openly hated and looked down on their customer base. There were obviously exceptions, and some like Gygax would go on to regret and apologize for it, but still, what made so many "professionals" back then such fags?Pic related: WFRP author James Wallis's response to a letter criticizing how railroaded The Enemy Within campaign was.
>>97256429Knights of the Kitchen Table and other parodies were more of the source of the myth of most players being clownishy retarded jackasses, rather than an accurate generalization of the hobby.

>>97251504>Informed by the belief that the "inventor" of RPGs insisted that the GM should be as adversarial as possible, if not outright malicious whenever they felt like it,This is the kind of distorted opinion only spouted by fags who obviously never read his writings.
>>97256766And fags who say shit like this have cherrypicked one of Gygax's many contradictory cool guy speeches where he espoused shit he didn't believe or practice.
>>97256917NTA but end-of-life Gygax did turn a new leaf, he got clean, mellowed out significantly, became a born-again Christian, and repeatedly said everything he did and the way he did it was wrong, you shouldn't be an asshole to your players, and so on.With that said though, you're spot on about "prime" Gygax. He was so high on cocaine he probably didn't remember half the shit he said, let alone believe it at the time.

>>97256972Energy cards are the OPPOSITE of goodstuff you retard. That's the problem with them. Goodstuff means "generically good" like cards with draw or ramp stapled onto them. Energy meanwhile gives you counters that do literally nothing unless you use other energy cards. It's a mechanic that's too synergy-focused, which is the opposite of what goodstuff means.

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.

>>97256278The lord intended us to make and use tools as we see fit. Pregenerating characters and putting them on character sheets or printing them out so players can have them to keep is zoz.
>>97256278I like using generators to whip up quick NPCs when the players encounter a wandering party or what have you. Beyond that, rolling characters is fast and fun. I sometimes fill out character sheets to stick in my portable books just for lulz.

In my work in progress fantasy setting, the planet is tidally locked to its star, with six moons (one of which has a 24.2h rotation, and they use to count "days"). How do you think people would sleep? The sun is always up, so there's no restricting people to all sleep at around the same time. Would you have "upmoon" and "downmoon" cultures, or per-village, or would it be workers in the cities, etc? It's roughly 1900-ish tech level.
>>97256957>How do you think people would sleepLightly, and at different times. Perhaps even with half of their brain awake, like some aquatic animals do.If it's 1900's tech level, they'd probably have a set schedule as to facilitate factory work. I would go with three sleeping phases to match three shifts of ~8 hours each.
>>97256957Are they human? I don't think anything that evolved on that planet would need sleep, at least not in the way we do. How would plants grow with constant sunlight, would they still need have cycles of producing sugars if they can just get all their energy from a constant source? How do the people dissipate heat on the sun side?

>>97240999Have fun homie, I like the Mork Borg world and its almost silly grimness.
>>97250788I bought myself the Flashpoint ODST box. An Ancient Bronze Dragon single and Doom the Dark Ages card sleeves. I got some earphones. OG doom card sleeves and a preorder for the Cacodemon deckbox but that hasn’t arrived as UltraPro has delaying them for months for some reason. I have a four year old so this Christmas was mostly dominated by lego.
>>97240999I've got 8 days (today being the 8th) of playing board games with my family. I also used a gift card from my office to buy myself Underwater Cities and card sleeves for it, paying for it all 2 bucks above the card's value.The biggest present was having enough time and lack of excuses on his side to teach my father how to play A Few Acres of Snow. He liked it enough to ask on his own if we will play one more after three games in a row, making it big success.
