Welcome to /wbg/, the thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.Here is where you go to present and develop the details of your worlds such as lore, factions, magic and ecosystems. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art. Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback or post whatever relevant input you might have, cunt!Last thread: >>96999149Worldbuilding links: Post someFantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator
Realistically what would life in a world of superheroes where your ability is defined by your bloodline be like? Would eugenics be common place in such a world? Would government affect them if the abilities could range from pointless to Homelander level at best?
Elves are hunted because >Their meat tastes better than anything>Their blood can cure illnesses>Their bones are beautiful and jewel-like>Their hair is nearly unbreakable and can be woven into unbreakable fabric>Their organs have specific propertiesAs a result, they've gone from living like well, elves to basically becoming an entire race consisting of Guts from Berserk.
>>97276203>>97278886That's Five Star Stories.
>>97281054Depending on the timeline of the powers appearance:In Ancient times: It would probably be a feudalistic society with the superheroes being treated as gods or noble with noble arranged marriages being the closest thing eugenics. In modern times: Superheroes might be encouraged to use their power for good. If they are sufficiently strong the government could legally institutionalized to closely monitor them. Probably away from others like them to prevent an uprising.
>>97281836Actually it's also Valkyria Chronicles 4

You have to choose one of the current top ten to win a Classical game against, and if you lose, or draw, you die. Obviously, you’re going to die. But for the best of the slimmest of chances, who do you choose?
>>97282255Keymer easily. He’s pretty blind tactically and is basically an overtrained mediocrity whose parents had the means of hiring Peter Leko to coach him from a young age. His natural talent is minimal. I would complicate the game as much as possible and hope he fails outside of his classically trained comfort zone and misses a tactic.
>>97280936Thanks for sharing this, I’m conflicted as a Chiefs fan but I do like his content lol
Mages and wizards of /tg/, make your predictions for 2026! What will happen in the RPG-verse? Do it now before it happens!
>>97274207D&D 4e will finally be recognized as the best edition, with WotC agreeing to make D&D 6e which will just be a cleaned up and expanded 4 to be released in 2027.
>>97274207Dark Sun but gay and lame !!!!!!!!But i will regardless
>>97275941>the Jewish conservative in the comments saying he only meant Jewish democratsLmao>>97277587I'm inclined to believe the accusations of racism when the memes are actually funny.
>>97274207Elon Musk buys D&D
>>97276175There are, admittedly, some things in that prognostication I would be quite happy with.
>Everyone points out that "Le demons are not evil" was a huge trend>Can barely remember any media that doesnt' have not-evil, not-succubus demons>The first that came to mind was devilman and they are still dicks thereWhat is with this weird fauxtrarian bullshit
How did this thread get to this point?
>>97257521Even in slavic folklore, demons were closer to nature spirits and tended to be morally ambivalent. They could even be helpful sometimes and were more inclined to fuck with people who deserved it anyways.
>>97273799In MegaTen they called them Demons based on the greek Daemons.
>>97281875Constant baitposting from people with nothing to do but live the 4channer lifestyle.
>>97261731There isn't a single black person in that series.>>97257474/thread
After about 8 years since I last DM'ed a game, I've been asked to run a session. Unfortunately my books - adnd, 2e, 3e, 3.5, 4e, and 5e are in storage two states away.And i prefer physical copies. Thanks to critical role and the movie DND books have gone up in price which is weird.>4e books are ~10-15$ now. Is it viable to run 4e in 2025? I don't remember hating it and I still remember some home rules to streamline combat to speed it up a touch. Does anyone have suggestions for 1-3lvl adventures or campaign settings? >4e thread I guess
>>97276274My biggest complaint is that I think Utility Powers should have been separated into in combat ones like Shield, Tumble and the stances and out of combat ones like Crucial Advice, Instant Friends and Double Take and when you would get Utility Powers you get one of each. Or at least give everyone one class Utility Power and one Skill Power each time. Also throwing out the skill replacement Powers. Wizards if built somewhat intelligently can replace like 70% of the skill list with Arcana which they then can jack to the moon. I'd replace those with Powers that let you use Int/Cha instead of the usual modifier for one round per encounter. That way it's a lot less cheesey and makes Wizards and Warlocks a lot less "I just roll Arcana/Bluff every round of a Skill Challenge but call it 4 different skills".
>>97235255The movie? why are culture warriors so retarded, the recent movie was not successful.
>>97254793Wait, they had elemental monks?
>>97279807Only Fire (Desert Wind) and Water (Eternal Tide) from Heroes of the Elemental Chaos. Unfortunately it was one of the last book with player options ever printed for 4e so we never got ones for other elements.
>>97254866>BinderI have no idea what the fuck they were thinking with this class.>Oh hey let's make a squishy ranged controller >Now let's make it's primary controller feature be based around standing in melee with enemies or beign the one to deal the killing blow(minions didn't count iirc?)Honestly the Hexblade was everything the Binder should have been.
Thoughts on moths?
>>97280403Because!.
>>97281262>coomer still can't answer the question
Time to talk about weird monsters again.As usual, any rants about Bog will be treated as bait unless you have actual proof.

>>97279052>>97279065When's the next run of physical books?

>>97282211Nurarihyon ahh motherfuckerdo nothing but get hyped up because the series gets cancelled
>>97282241Anons need to make some cult builds so we can get HLA kino again...
>>97282092Not really. We have these >>97282130 things, and this >>97282211 was discussed but we didn't reach a consensus. Both times we tried the discussion eithere died down or devolved into powerscaling/elder stuff. Considering the level of activity right now I don't think it's the right time for it but we can try. Some revival does seem appropiate, as for Wuyu's artifact it seems more lilkely they would want it because it's a problem rather than because it's needed for a revival, it's a counter to half of what they can do. Maybe they need sacrifices of a certain quality? So they would rather capture the various prodigies that make up the cast instead of kill them on the spot.
>>97282241DCEU Darkseid... That Samurai manga by Naruto's author...
>>97282211>>97282278I like the idea of a revival, cults love chanting and invoking beings. What would they be reviving? A dead devil-god? Maybe a high level cultivator that created the cult because he knew he was going to die before reaching immortality. It should probably be something that has died so that it makes sense that the artifact is so sought after.
Is it a good advice for game masters who want to run campaign in the "exotic" place instead of generic "coast of swords" clone?
>>97279141>>97279132>>97279072Go back
>>97279196You first, kike.
>>97270237>we are the aliens getting to know the place together>not exoticIt's logically contradictory because they can't say what they actually want to say, which is "treat fantasy not-Africa with kid gloves".Morrowind did the whole "bizarre place is normal and you're weird one" thing quite well. The difference is that PF wanted to have their cake and eat it too by putting Africa in their game.The Mwangi Expanse does not exist. The Mwangi Expanse is not anyone's home. The Mwangi Expanse is simply a backdrop.What they wrote only makes sense if you substitute Mwangi with Africa, and realize they want you to put a campaign in Africa without any problematic connotations.

2026 KDM predictions: >Poots is gonna surprise us and say Bee + Weaver is out for pre-printing in January/February>SG completed same time>Both ship before gencon around July along with some other minor thing (Preacher, Dead armor, promos of death, etc)>CoD delayed til 2027>Instead another expansion will be released around end of year (mosquito or first hero most likely)
I will buy recasts of monsters in order to have multiple palette swaps for higher levels.Also because spidicules is a spindly fuck and I need to practice ways to magnetize or convert his ass into something more wieldable for play.
Alright, Tyrant Lvl3 is dead (after a very scary early harvester incantation draw...) and we have our 4th people of the star and our 2nd and 3rd frozen heart. I think we're going to work on polishing their gear grids now, we've got 2 calcified shoulder pads cooking that'll pop right before the level 3 nemesis at 23, going to see if we can get 2 beast knuckles and a set of Lantern armor and dragon slayer for our katar and grand weapon user respectively. Ultimately, we're hoping to finish this campaign this weekend before we have to get to work, so we honestly might say it's a wipe to the king man at 23 to save time since we still don't have pottery (thank God barber burgeoning locked behind that anymore)
>>97281332Any good stl scans? I surprisingly find non on telegramHow's the recasts prices?
>>97280007What is the CoD expansion exclactly? Just an upgrade to the current ones? Or is it its own thing like gamblers?
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.
>>97271193Took a whole day to convince yourself of that, huh?
>>97279869Still conceding? lol
>>97279918Boring troll.
>>97263198>There's another one where a character in one of his games get arrested, and he just makes the player do nothing for what sounds like literal months of sessions.This stinks of being something he made up since there's no fucking way somebody would put up with that
>>97276477>yeah i negated your characters achievements by fiat>this game should be about an inevitable downward spiral>you should be knee deep in shit at all times and never succeed at anything>the gm should fuck you over at every possible opportunity because the world should hate youThat's not adversarial GMing or faggotry, huh.
Post your favourite Warhammer Terrain kek
>>97281174What am I supposed to be upset at here other than the god-awful angle of the photo?All models I can see are painted (and based), even the movement trays are decorated.Terrain is sparse, but that's mostly what you want for WHFB/TOW. You need room to maneuver.
>>97281986>he doesn't know
LGS has some decently colorful stuff, we can do more than the bare minimum at tourneys!
>>97282246Is this satire?

Here's a question for all the loremasters out there: Did the Warhammer World have its own equivalent of not-Romans or the not-Roman empire? I have some ideas for my dudes that would benefit from this question although I'm still going with the idea even if I get a negative answer.
>>97281713Tilea. Also, Ulthuan is Warhammer Atlantis, with a dashing of More's Utopia and lots of Melnibonea, so elves have a ton of Greco-Roman influences, with Dark Elves hewing closer to Sparta/Rome and High Elves being closer to Athens.
>>97281140Law magic empowered by Arianka. Ice = purity and stasis. Realm of the Ice Queen basically states that The Ancient Widow is something to do with Arianka trapped beneath Praag.
>>97281713As the other anon said, tilea, specifically the city of Remas was the former Capital of the Reman Empire, an ancient empire of men possibly founded by the goddess myrmidia when she lived as a mortal. The cults of myrmidia disagree on many details including where myrmidia may have been born or if her ancient empire started in either estalia or tilea.
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. And as we enter this happiest and newest of years, remember: 2e was never an old-school game, bait is for reporting, and fish is for smoking! Happy new year, grogs! 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. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread that you can check for help: >n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0 >Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128 >Need a starter dungeon?

>>97280830Oh lmao, the Dragonbane post got deleted already, that's what I get for leaving the thread to auto-update
>>97280032Could be something worth using there. I'll take a look.>>97280209I think I have Halls of the Blood King floating around somewhere. Worth considering. Thanks.>>97280830Yeah my initial idea was to generate a small lair and give some landmark designators to point them in the right direction when they search for it. (5 miles East of Obelisk, just beyond the lake. Place Obelisk and lake hexes accordingly on hexmap etc.) but I also thought this may be a good way to break up the process of delving such a huge dungeon as Stonehell.I was considering using The Hyqueous Vaults as it's been recommended by Prince and others. I could also have one of the macguffin rods from the module be bundled up in the map as my player hasn't actually examine it yet (fortunately for me). It's maybe a bit longer than I was looking for, at about 60 rooms, but it's only one floor and has "vault" in the title, so the allure of treasure would be strong.>Reposting the magic item I came up with the other day as I think the sloppa image I generated for it turned out decent.
>>97280181There is a supplement called Dungeon Grappling, you could maybe look into that.Although though it purports to be compatible with S&W, it seems to me that it's mainly written with modern editions in mind, but could be what you're looking for.
>>97280181TL;DR: No. The DMG has unarmed combat rules that are way more extensive than they ought to be, but they're not as detailed as what you seem to want.
>>97280830>Lone Colossus of the Akolouthos Sink by Gus LNow that's a name I've not heard in a long time. His Red Demon in the Vile Fens is in that level range although on the lower end.
