OSR is alt right, 5e is far left.

OSR is mostly trying not to get party wiped, so playing becomes very ruthless, it's 99% surviving and 1% roleplay. Don't think it's a coincidence that everytime a woman, black or gay played OSR, regardless who who DM, we got party wiped that session.

5e allows for a lot of roleplay as survival is pretty much bottom priority, PCs are so powerful it doesn't matter, and my LGS looks like a pride parade on D&D days, drag queens, gender fluid, etc. a lot of diva fights as they all want to be the main character.

A lot of talk of separating the 2 groups, they truly loathe each other. I used to play campaigns in both and it sucked. Kept holding out for better groups but if the players didn't suck, the GM would.

Shinnal is also an alcoholic who yells at his employees and got his position through nepotism.

>>97353578

Weird, in my area the 5e players are economic right, socially left and the OSR players are economic left *and* socially left.

There's zero evidence any of them feel like that. All we know is that the Neverborn are suffering forever at the edge of annihilation and believe they have to drag everything with them in order to finally be released.

>To clarify further, it's a really annoying trend in these threads of "XYZ thing is making it so my god king who can punch mountains in half has to actually level up and roll dice and work for things! They have to take part in the setting!"
That is a very fascinating phenomenon and I don't know where it stems from because most stories prefer the protagonists to have opposition that is stronger than them but must be defeated with courage and cleverness. You'd have to be reading nothing but the most degenerate LitRPG/isekai shit imaginable to think that a good RP story is about how you're the strongest guy ever and how everybody else is there to fawn at your feet.

Read the actual post, because I don't know what the hell you're trying to say here - I didn't actually say that the Neverborn felt any particular way, for starters. Beyond that, almost everything in there is evidence, or extrapolating directly from the evidence given in the same sentence.

Gnomes as tinkerers suck major balls. It's an extremely narrow and ill-defined niche. The only reason they did it is because in folklore a lot of gnomes lived underground (like dwarves). If anything, they should be more Fey-like.

Wow, you're doing a really great job of dissuading the OP!

>>97353997

The Hobbit was published in 1937. Gnomes are folklore inventions from centuries ago. I think gnomes have endured for far longer. Regardless, the point is that trying to use gnomes to make them fit into Tolkien-inspired races is getting them backwards. They should be the original ones, older and more magical, no the other way around.

>>97353858

Rather then evil Gnomes, what would 'Good' Kobolds look like?

pretty sure Deep Gnomes are a thing in a few settings, and generally they're schizophrenic and disturbed by things that lurk in the deepest parts

Even crazier to think, that if they just never re-introduced Phyrexia into the lore, it would still have the aura of "When are the big bads coming back!?"

Where?

The Video Dead did, when they were locked up together.

>>97346628
Yeah, but they were pretty atypical for zombies. You could trick them into thinking they were dead dead for a while, too.

I like Red Markets zombies since they cover all the bases. The infection itself is enigmatic, but it acts like a virus, parasite, and in some ways a fungus and manifests as thick, ropey sinew. Infected who are still alive are called Vectors and act like 28 days later style rage zombies that sprint, jump, and still have enough wits about them to operate door handles. When they inevitably die from heart failure or dehydration or (non-brain) injury, they collapse dead and then a few hours to days later rise up again as Casualties, which are more typical slow zombies that are only really dangerous in hordes (but tend to congregate into hordes when they have nothing to slowly chase).
Some people don't actually lose control of themselves when infected and are called Latents, but they still look infected and are still infectious. When they die, their corpse immediately acts like a Vector until rigor mortis slows it down to Casualty, so Latents are usually treated as second class citizens and often quarantined into their own areas or at least closely monitored. Vectors can be turned into Latents if injected with the "cure" before their bodies give out. Some people are truly immune, but the "cure" is derived from their bone marrow, so being known as immune is a good way to get disappeared into a chop shop.
There are also Aberrants that are one-off freak zombies like a rat king where all the sinew spread out and connected a bunch of zombies into a surprisingly fast moving ball of limbs and heads, or a scarecrow-like zombie that's crucified on its own sinew which now spreads out across the ground like aggressive vines ready to grab and impale anything in the area.

The Scarlet Pimpernel was called The Scarlet Pimpernel despite pimpernels being scarlet by default and only occasionally white or purple or blue. This usage is older than The Green Goblin by several decades.
Scarlet Centurion
Scarlet Witch
Black Bolt
Green Lantern
Silver Surfer
Blue Beetle
White Tiger (proverbial in China folklore)
Red Tornado
Black Panther
Black Canary
Black Cat (very common trope)
Black Widow (this one is default for the animal)

Maybe look up the Code of Chivalry, the AD&D alignment system, or the seven Virtues? It gives lots of reasons why normal people would want to punch an evil dude or face danger to protect others. Not everybody does dangerous things for personal gratification. Some do dangerous things because it is the right thing to do, irrespective of cost to themselves.

I've always considered hags and goblins related somehow. Warty green skin, hooked nose, lives in the forest.

You know how hags always want people's children? They never really mention what happens to those..

>>97353498
For me, they're far too different. Hags are monstrous women that do black magic and eat children. Goblins are sneaky, selfish, horrible fae-types that like causing mischief, that take children to turn them into goblins. Which would then mean the two are at odds in that regard.

>>97348821
Beyond that, they can open a shop or a pub in Hogsmead. That is pretty much it. Even the books mention that landing work after school is a challenge for most wizards.

JK Rowling committed the most vile and unforgivable sin a leftist can.
She agreed with literally everything the rest of them... except for ONE thing.
Like seriously, her takes were pretty historically left leaning, but it's literally characteristic of the left that they form blood feuds over the smallest disagreements.

>>97345736
She's full on TOTAL TROON DEATH nowadays after years of harassment and doubling down but to start with her original take was the most milquetoast shit ever, basically that biological women who've lived their whole lives as women have different experiences than someone who's only known they were/lived as a woman for a short while. I.E a troon who went through all of K-12 education as a dorky autistic man playing RuneScape all day is not, actually, a subject matter expert on the lived experience of what it's like to be a high school girl. Or what it's like to deal with periods and the risk of pregnancy etc. shocker, I know. If that sounds like a completely retarded hill for troons to die on especially for a middle aged white author who was already doing shit like retconning characters to be gay in an effort to be more liberal and fashionable already, you're in good company.

Because buildings don't tend to fight back, so designing encounters around attacking buildings rather than active enemies is sorta boring.

Demolishing buildings can normally wait until all the enemy are dead, and if you have the resources, knowhow and unlimited time to work; rolling damage against the building is a pointless waste of time out of combat, and the DM should instead determine simply how long it takes.

Abstracting a building's HP only makes sense if you are trying to destroy a structure while in combat with actual enemies, where time would be of the essence, or a particular piece of building collapsing could be used to your advantage.
However, if you have enough firepower to level a building, chances are you're better off applying it directly to the target, assuming a D&D-like game.

Rules for destroying terrain are best used for wargames, particularly ones with modern-ish or futuristic warfare, rather than roleplaying games, where the crunch is quicker and dirtier, and effects like units being trapped in a collapsing building are likely to be relevant.

That and in a tabletop RPG there's nothing stopping a competent DM from just eyeballing when a building needs to collapse, or a bridge give way for the purposes of narrative, or by rudimentary common sense.

I mean, if the purpose of your campaign is beating up terrain instead of monsters then you do you.
