I'm trying to write a campaign and have a good idea of where I want it to go, but I'm not sure how to get started. In your current game, what was the main threat facing the party in their starting location?
>>97364443First it was fear and hunger on a ship that couldn't sail.Then it was the ghost ship that appeared and rammed their crippled ship causing it to sink and them forcing to board the ghost ship.Then a goblin horde they had to run away from.
>>97367465How do you track your stats if you dont write them down anon?
>>97368104Humans have this thing called memory.
>>97364443A monster let loose at the nobles' party. 3/4 my players have never played before and I'm not one for prepping, so why not go a bit classic.
>>97365199pretty cool
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. 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?

>>97367718We may need to update the tout tout image and fishfag movie.
>>97367773We need a Legion of Doom or Jedi Council edit for all of his various self-proclaimed Nemeses.
>>97367711Anon, you were promised a Gygax (pbuh)>>97367158>Have a Gygax.but you never received one. Let me make it up to you.
>>97367479>That's not a request, I'm telling the person to do it because it fills in his answer.I don't see what request a combined image would fill and how. Can you be less cryptic?
>>97367716>It's reasonably well established???? What are you talking about
Based uhh... *checks notes*Based Games Workshop?!
>>97365444>Rent free
>>97358673>faggot C-suite managers running those companies into the ground just haven't found out yet that replacing people with chatGPTNo one is really doing that dumbassThey just use AI as an excuse to lay off bloated staff and cut costsIf you lay off a bunch of people it seems you are sinkingIf you say you are laying of people because AI is now doing their jobs you seem like you are ahead
>>97362896It's not really controversial to want some measures against creating fake cpUsing that issue to wage war against AI in general is just silly though. You can use the exact same logic to ban printers, cameras or pencils.
>>97365109As an artist, I promise you there's a ton of artists who are 'AI fags'We're all playing around with it in our free time, we just keep quiet about it due to the current public opinion. We all know we can't just shut our eyes to the technology, because AI assistance is definitely going to be a tool in everyone's belt going forward.I'm not talking about mindless prompting, more img2img tools like cleanup and coloring, reference generation, animation inbetween assistance etc
>>97363253Correct on both points. It's just a shame GW didn't rebuild their art department once they recovered their position, they're still pumping out a lot of the sort of slop that was used to train these models in the first instance.

Is the "Late War Leviathans: Forces in Europe" for Flames of War available anywhere? Not sure if retarded but I can't find it but would like to use some IS-3 and T-29 models I got from Clash of Steel.
Played my first game of 3rd edition after getting the book for Christmas. I quite like the added cover system and other little changes. I feel like making a proper 1940 Blitzkrieg list now, Hanomags for all selections.What are some good ways to use Officer teams in 3rd? I find it simple enough for my riflemen platoons, but when it comes to engineering and heavy weapons platoons I am unsure what to do. Do you just give them nothing and accept them as tax, or can you find success with making them specialised?

>>97364311The artist does a lot of humanized versions of cool animals
>>97364357It feels like the humanized animal thing used to be a lot more common than it is now, guess it's one of those art trends.
>>97364357Calling a perentie a ‘mime lizard’ reveals odd thoughts about mimes. Not only do they have vocalizations, but they’re voracious and incredibly fast.
>>97364645https://youtu.be/PsQ0nDeQgK4?si=mcWDyrbiXcuYzugH'Turning X into a Character Design' was a whole thing.It probably is a really good exercise, along with those with those 'draw 1 character in 10 artstyles' things.
>>97368062Yeah, there was also the "turn thing into a spaceship" trend, I really like these things.

>>97367744Bags of pine bark nuggets are extremely cheap compared to their volume. I'm pretty sure the gas cost of running the oven is actually higher than the price of the bag for the same volume of nuggets.
>>97367840If you don't bake it you might get moldy bases in the future, not to mention bug eggs. Matter of fact, I uncovered a spider egg sac last time I stripped bark off a tree. Not very pleasant.>>97367854Yeah it's probably better to just buy bags of bark nuggets. My kitchen smelled like pine forest for weeks every time I used the oven after doing this shit
Do you think thet fur gonna look good as a dry grassland between those hills if i trim it by 30-40%? I want to connect it with the other side of the base with another strip and put 1 pathfinder inside.
Painted some more stuff from my box of ebay rescues.
>>97368036dunno. it doesn't really match with the rest of the base.

>>97367555Personally, this was the worst/most debilitating one I found.
>>97367644Being middle-aged myself, this hits a touch too close.I actively remember being a little stronger, little faster, joint pain being virtually unknown. Cuts take a week to heal when they used to take a day or 2, could tell you the color, make and model of a car from a mile away.Phew.
>>97367644The insomnia one anon posted can just straight up kill you though
>>97367644I’d take it on a wizard, maybe one who used to be powerful but for one reason or another retired then had to come out of retirement. I’d workshop it with the DM but most likely some sort of debt. If the party asks something like>Why don’t you know fireball anymoreMy character would say “ah yes a classic, I’m sure I have my notes on that somewhere…” fumble around but not find it “well let me try to remember” then get the words all wrong “I will think about it, I’m sure the words will come back to me soon”Idk, just an idea..
>>97367871just use any question they ask as a segue into a long pointless and largely unrelated story about something that happened years ago.
Douchemachine used to be the largest competition to GW. Now look at it and laugh
>>97367861The only noble Chinese is a hapa wmaf baby working for the white faction as a spy in the Chinese faction. Everyone is a samurai in old BT, didn't the white king take a samurai sword to cut off some Japanese or clanner head or something? There are good tokens, but for most part, they're portrayed as urban youths to be put down. I remembered they went far beyond the 80s cowboys and Indians, and for some reason, they had a massive hate boner against east Asians, probably due to the whole harmony gold macross IP theft shenanigans. I don't know where their hate for YNs came from, probably just good old conservative values.>>973678363025 is better though. Quicker gameplay due to lower complexity, and mechs don't just blow up in a single shot. I don't mind playing alpha strike at any era, but CBT I'll only play 3025. SW4 sucks though, it has been done to death over 40 years, pretty sick of it.Issue is BT released too many mechs too quickly. Most didn't even have models, till shimmering sword stole them off Alex Iglesias. If they could keep the original 3025 mechs and only add say 10 mechs and 5 new weapons and tech for each new era, would have been sweet. Double heat sinks should also be removed completely.
>>97367856If you think about it, 40k can be played with single models like infinity and vice versa.Just bump up the W and B by the numbers of squad members. As you reduce W, you reduce B. Match F2F rolls by highest to lowest.Probably needs a lot more tweaks, but the rough framework is there.The main purpose is to force people to buy squads of 10 fusiliers and 5 ShangJis, so CB can earn more to grow and expand.
>>97367913>I don't know where their hate for YNs came from, probably just good old conservative values.I think you might have a bias, Anon. You should work on bettering yourself instead of letting identity politics rule your thoughts! You can change for the better!
>>97367855 If GW were serious about balance I wouldn't be able to tell you with 100% certainty that there's a new edition of 40k due this year
>>97331983Never played or painted it, but I saw an online store selling boxes of minis marked down to about 10 bucks each from their usual msrp. Figured that was a bad sign. See pic related Link as well, if anyone wants to gank some cheap minis.https://store.401games.ca/products/a-song-of-ice-and-fire-tabletop-miniatures-game-house-martell-spearmen

Previous thread: >>97295718GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by using the image. Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.If you're wondering where to start:- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.- How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.- GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.Thread question: what's the best classic GURPS cover art?
