Christmas edition▶What is Kingdom Death?Kingdom Death is a tabletop miniature brand stared by Adam Poots and operated by himself and his Team that later spun off into a miniature based bored game funded by two very successful Kickstarter campaigns.▶What is Kingdom Death: Monster?Monster is a Nightmare Horror cooperative boss battler/miniature hobby game for 1-4 players about hope in a strange world of bizarre monstrosities and perpetually darkness. Players take on the role of survivors that band together to form a settlement, fighting monsters, crafting weapons and gear, and developing their civilization to ensure survival from generation to generation.Prologue Narration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNLc8dHv0AcThe Game is broken up into 3 phases:1. During your Hunt Phase your band of survivors traverse the world of KD in pursuit of their quarry.2. After successfully tracking your quarry you will begin the Showdown Phase, where you must fell these horrific creatures in order to acquire precious resources.3. After the battle, your survivors wander home with loot in hand to begin the Settlement Phase. Arm yourself by developing new weapons and bizarre structures to prepare for next year's hunt.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97282601Call me a faggot, but this update, and the abyssal woods one now, are just great. The explorable space within the game is slowly becoming enormous. Silver City too, is looking like it's going to be cool, and then there's IM and the Abyssal Woods. It's just absurd.It gives me the same sort of feeling I got when I started to realise how the map was structured in Dark Souls - it all fits correctly into 3d space and you can see all sorts of other areas you can get to from your current position. A whole connected ecosystem seething with monsters and treasure just waiting to be encountered.Sorry for the søyfull post. Please excuse me.
>>97283913I mean, they're cool,but I'd feel a lot better if poots had stuck closer to the pitch and left all the new campaigns and shit to their own expansions so we could've had COD in our hands 2 years ago like it was supposed to be...
>>97282148I've seen some scans in the purple site but far from a complete collections.Recast prices jump between $2-3 bucks for small models and up to $20-ish for big things like Spidicules.
>>97269759I can see a licensed TTRPG eventually. I doubt he personally works on any other KD projects though
>>97282601Thanks anon. Our group had put in for it on BF and just wanted a condensed version of what we are getting into (and what ill probably end up painting).>>97283913I enjoy seeing the realm expand too. Problem is it was left on "vague" setting for so long we have some of our own lore to fill the gaps that might be contradictory to official lore and that bums me out sometimes.>>97284996Havent played arcs yet but isn't that essentially a ttrpg with them?

>>97276168With no exaggeration, this would be a thousand times hotter if they were anthros instead.
>>97276374>>97276377Both of you underestimate what a human can do. There's been reports of unarmed people killing mountain lions and bears, a wolf is just an aggressive dog, you can beat one of those to death.
>>97283904If you used your brain you would notice that those reports are very rare. The odds of you winning are not in your favor.
>>97286523You know what, I take it back, prissy little fags like you definitely would lose against a wolf maybe 2/3 the weight of a real grown man at most.

Whenever someone here asks for a system recommendation, I always suggest 5e. Especially if it's a modern game. I've also noticed that I'm not the only one who does it.Awesome.
Ive lied about 80% of my dice throws over discord, even the bad roles are made up if it helps with the narrative make more sense. I just want to roleplay a fun story, not constantly die.
I periodically save and re-post AIslop pictures because people are incapable of not sperging about them and that makes me chuckle
>>97283507sometimes I ask my players to roll dice for a secret reason, but in reality there is none. I also like to insist on adding different colored dice to a pool as if they have a hidden significance, when in reality they do not.
>>97284759I pretend to play but really I just post on /tg/
Is it really good etiquite to have seriously "heavy" and depressing themes in your tabletop campaign as opposed to just lighthearted evening fun or cynically detached/ironic grimderpness?
>>97286440NTA, it's an intrinsic problem with most /tg/ types, autism, anti-social, etc, but it's something that we need to push that asking and talking about things is the best way to bridge that issue and help each other understand that and improve.
>>97286461Absolutely.
>>97286063Read the room. Is that what your table wants to do for that game? If so, then yes. If not, then no.

How do I make a campaign revolving around the gimmick Arios Theoman's sword Escude revolves around work?To explain>Arios is the "hero" of the setting>He has a magical sword that gets more powerful the more humanity dies>It's a dilemma - he needs the sword to be at least 30 percent powered up to be able to even hurt the demons ravaging his world, but to do that he needs to allow humans to die - or even actively curtail their population himself so as to paradoxically save them It's a killer concept - but I feel like as a campaign it becomes hard to gamify since the players could literally just do nothing, allow the sword to get powered up, and kill the big bad without any moral dilemma at all
>>97284375Why didn't they make a magic sword that didn't need people to die and was just at 100% all the time?
>>97284375I guess you could give each PC a distinct legendary weapon or artifact that gives various buffs depending on the current human population. It could be something as simple as "+X to all stats", as crucial as "ignore X points of any demon's innate supernatural damage resistance", or it could be something unique to every weapon.You should also have a "human population" statistic that the PCs can check with their weapons at any time. It doesn't have to give an exact number. You can just give a hint like "the weapon feels colder than when you last held it, as if the sollective life force of humanity is dwindling" or an abstract rating like "3 out of 10 jewels on the legendary scepter's head have faded black."When the PCs complete a quest, you might adjust the human population depending on how well the PCs succeeded in their quest. You might determine this with a random roll, use a character of modifiers depending on how many objectives were accomplished, or just go by vibes.If a PC dies, you might allow the weapon to be passed along to a new PC, or you might allow the old PC to be revived at great cost to the human population (it might require willing sacrifices, or maybe a fraction of the remaining population just gets magically Thanos-snapped at random). I think allowing PCs to revive at a cost is a neat idea, since it creates dynamic difficulty (if the PCs do well, then more people are saved, but things get harder for them; if the PCs are struggling, then they can just power up at the cost of human lives) and saves the trouble of having to roll up a new character.If the PCs choose the easy path to power, or too many humans die, then make sure they feel the consequences. Places where the PCs can rest and resupply become sparser, replaced by ghost towns. Human allies and support networks become fewer and more expensive. Demons become more numerous (but not individually more powerful). And so on.
>>97286300forgive me, I might be having a stroke>sollective life forcecollective>character of modifierschart of modifiers
>>97284375What if instead of requiring a % of population dying the sword is just powered up by human souls consumed? Then your players have to actively decide if it's worth it to personally slay innocents to power the sword enough to fight demons.
>>97284375What traditional game?

I would like to talk about the Chronicles of Darkness game line Deviant: The Renegades, or more specifically, one major upcoming supplement. Deviant was released in late 2021, and has had three additional sourcebooks since then. A new supplement, Black Vans, has been in playtesting for a while, and is currently being previewed.I am not being paid or sponsored to promote this book in any way. I am just very fascinated by it, and indeed, I already ran a mini-campaign using the playtest material.Deviant is, by default, a game about playing angsty, scarred superheroes who either fight world-manipulating conspiracies or work for them. Black Vans is a toolkit full of variant rules, quick NPC creation, variant character types, and variant genres. These variants range from the minor to the dramatic, completely overhauling what were once non-negotiable, foundational themes and mechanics. Maybe your character is not angsty or scarred at all, perhaps they are a """""regular human""""" like John Wick or Batman, or the campaign might have nothing to do with world-manipulating conspiracies.These variant genres include cyberpunk, high fantasy, post-apocalypse, space opera, and superhero emergence.This is a beefy supplement. For example, one chapter alone dedicates 38,000+ words to playing other monsters of the Chronicles of Darkness: Beasts, changelings, demons, Sin-Eaters, hunters (entirely separate from the variant rules for """natural""" superpowers), mages, mummies, Prometheans, vampires, and werewolves. No additional supplements beyond Deviant are necessary; the rules are self-contained, allowing the group to play a monster mash of an urban fantasy setting without needing a daunting 7+ books. And yes, they are supposed to be balanced against one another, so a vampire in the same group as a full-fledged mage is probably some older Kindred.(Continued.)
>>97284076CoD works in a two axis system, typically your 'race' (vampire bloodline, type of mage, werewolf breed, etc) and your 'guild' (order, association, tribe, school, etc), and each thing gives you access to different powers or abilities or schools
>>97284076>>97284091Deviant: The Renegades is a little looser than even that.The vast, vast bulk of powers are universal, not Clade-specific. Furthermore, the only limitation on cross-Clade powers is that no more than half of your total dots of powers can be cross-Clade.For example, if you are playing a Cephalist, then you could have half of your total dots come from [Chimeric/Coactive/Invasive/Mutant] powers, but no more than that.That is it. They do not cost extra or anything. And again, most powers are universal. If that still is not good enough for you, there is the Transitional Form from Shallow Graves, which is specifically set up to enable even more mixing and matching of Clades.
>>97284201As a caveat, there is a small handful of unique, exclusive powers for each Clade, called "Adaptations." But even this is not a hard rule; Shallow Graves offers ways to pick up Adaptations cross-Clade.Alternatively, Black Vans' high fantasy genre lets you simply ignore Clades altogether and just pick whatever you want for your character, all very build-a-bear.
Looks cool but having to keep track of everyone's conspiracy and keystones seems pretty cumbersome
>>97286169The core rulebook specifically suggests having everyone tied to the same starting conspiracy. This is why there is a rule for upgrading a conspiracy based on how many Renegade PCs oppose it. The Devoted Companion suggests much the same for Devoted PC games.If conspiracies still are not your thing, Black Vans offers options for removing conspiracies in favor of other antagonistic plot devices. The high fantasy, post-apocalypse, and superhero emergence genres are good examples of this.Touchstones can be a lot to keep track of, true. Shallow Graves and Black Vans both offer advice on this. If this still is not good enough, Black Vans gives options for removing Touchstones in favor of more conventional motivations, like Virtues, Vices, and three Aspirations.
What are some of your experiences with BRP or mythras? Favorite stories, characters, or supplements? I generally like running pulp or horror campaigns. Funniest story setup was how my players thwarted a small series of adventures I planned before it even started.>Players role up an old priest, a journalist, and basically fred from scooby doo. >Investigating a series of murders and disappearances. >Get captured thesmelves and wind up in a rundown factory converted to sort of look likea victorian mansion.>Meet an obvious vampire who uses them for basic company and conversation before planning to kill them.>My players escape, the frail priest manages to full nelson the vampire, and the other players manage to use a stake to kill him. It ended what I planned to be a multi session adventure in one night. It was a lot of lucky roles and ended up with being funny.
>>97270691So how do those cons compare to BRP?
>>97280959brp is more generic and tries to simulate a lot of different genres of games. Most people dont even use it for fantasy because there is magic world as mentioned before which is a fantasy hack of brp+stormbringer.This mirrors my own personal experiences as well as i have played different stuff in brp but never a fantasy game with it
>>97280959>>97281060The initiative and action economy stuff in mythras is also better. BRP really emphasizes dex as the best stat for almost anyone because of it. Myhtras uses a combo of dex and int to determine action points or you can use the alternative of giving every pc the same amount. A lot of BRP supplements or spin offs can be hit or miss, especially form chaosium. The base game of magic world, but a lot of supplements are trying to fit stuff from other games int magic world with little alteration to make it work right.Recent chaosium supplements are notorious for being the writers thinly veiled fetish or political shitflinging.
What would people say are the most necessary or useful supplements to mythras/brp?I feel like monster island, book of schemes, and the sorandib supplement are pretty useful. The last one is mainly for the alchemy and engineering rules.Does anyone have any experience with clockwork & cthulhu or clockwork and chivalry?
>>97286462i really like mongoose empires for handling kingdoms and their conflicts even if it's on the background and the gloranthan book on chaos magic whose exact name i forget rn. Monster island as well as griffin island are awesome

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?

>>97286382There's no fully faithful retroclone, but OSRIC is the one with the fewest changes and omissions. You should just play AD&D itself, though, not much reason to use a retroclone.
>>97286382>>97286494I use OSRIC at my table for players to reference but run things using AD&D for things that it doesn't cover (encounter distances etc.) I think it's a fine product and, let's face it, much easier to parse for the less enlightened of us than the prose of Gygax (pbuh).
>>97286382OSRIC and hyperborea are the big two that come to mind. OSRIC is more of a reorganizing of the rules. Hyperborea is more of it's own thing but heavily influenced by ad&d.
>>97286494>>97286625>>97286631alright thanks, I'll check out OSRIC
>>97286631>>97286659(Tayrt)If you want to mix it up, give Hyperborea a peak. My group is going to be playing it after this AD&D campaign reaches a good stopping point or a TPK. If you're into sword and sorcery and/or weird science fantasy it's absolutely worth checking out.
