Every so often I ask my players if there are any kinds of adventures they want to do or sorts of situations they would like to be put into to play off of. Its how I strike a balance in the group to make sure everybody gets to have their bit of fun.

This time around, two different players put down 'hostage negotiation' and 'hostage crises'. But I'm having trouble coming up with a good way to do that.

This is a flintlock era adventure sort of deal, no magic on the table at all so bullshitium to force a contrivance is not an option. Obviously, most of our "hostage negotiation" tropes are based around police negotiating with some gunman making demands, but I just don't see how that realistically works in this scenario since not only do modern police not exist but what kind of demands could they even make that don't even with them shot anyway? With single-shot gunpowder weapons, if there are more guys outside than inside there's very little reason not to just storm the place, but also if the demands are met the guys is never getting out of there alive anyway. Its not like he can ask for an escape helicopter and fly away, at most he gets a horse.

So what occurs to me is that the hostage and hostage taker are in an unknown location and everything is being done by written correspondence, but I'm not sure how to make that particularly interesting as an adventure either. Like, what is there for the players to actually *do* in that situation?

Anyone have any good ideas for how to make this work that would actually be any fun to play?

...interesting idea. Gives them a central role in the situation and a strong investment in resolving it with something other than violence. I'd probably have to start it in media res just put them in the situation in the first place.

...what I could do is have them all roll, and the two lowest rolling members of the party are the hostages, while the higher two rollers are on the outside doing the negotiating. Makes it random which could have interesting consequences, and means that we have both an inside and outside POV on the situation.

This might have potential.

>With single-shot gunpowder weapons, if there are more guys outside than inside there's very little reason not to just storm the place
... you know the main reason they take hostages is to threaten harming them right? That's the thing that prevents storming, not modern firearms. That's the entire point.
>>
>>97362015
>With single-shot gunpowder weapons, if there are more guys outside than inside there's very little reason not to just storm the place
One of the presumptions of hostage taking is that someone gives a fuck about the hostages. If anything flintlocks would seem to favour the hostage takers, who can't reliably be taken out at a distance.
>>
>>97362227
Yes. But with pre-modern firearms you run into a bottleneck of action.

Lets say that I have taken three hostages. I have one flintlock pistol. If two guys kick in the front door to rescue the hostages or assault me, how do you think this plays out? Even if I prioritize shooting the hostages instead of protecting myself from harm, I have one bullet. At most, one hostage dies. Its just not possible for me to reload and kill another in time, and the act of doing so as removed my ability to protect myself from the people that just kicked in the door.

This is a far cry from a modern hostage situation, where a single man with a handgun can easily kill all three hostages in a matter of seconds. With the lower tech level firearms, I simply represent less of a threat to the hostages in a time crunch. I'd have to resort to a knife or something to get the job done faster than it takes to reload a muzzle-loaded weapon.

It makes storming the place and saving most of the hostages, though probably not all of them, a reliably viable strategy. Which is exactly the sort of risk vs reward that players would often consider acceptable. Remember, IRL combat is where most people find that they lose control of the situation but in a tabletop game combat is where players have the MOST control of the situation.
>>
>>97362289
Anon, you stab the hostages.
This is not complicated.
Taking various nobles or whoever as hostages has been a thing long before modern firearms.
It is funny you seem to miss the entire restraint part of the hostage taking situation. Your game is going to be a mess.

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:

>>97360863
>'m asking about what you as a human and a DM prefer to run, something that is either generally shallow yet broad, or narrow yet deep
I'm with the other anon that this is a very odd and artificial distinction. Everything starts off narrow and shallow when you begin prep, and you fill things out from there. They grow less shallow or less narrow as needs be, and you'll eventually have a wide variety of environments in a range of depth and width.
There's no hard line between one and the other.

And I don't give enough of a shit about the meta structure of it to have a preference one way or the other as a player or as a DM.
I'm less interested in whether dungeon A is shallow/wide while B is deep/narrow than I am that Dungeon A might have humanoid factions players can interact with, but most of the treasure is art-based stuff that will require time and men to remove and carry off, while dungeon B has easily ported coins, but is full of nasty undead. That's a more interesting kind of distinction, on both sides of the screen.

The luck can get bad, of course, just like it can with any game that involves dice. I'm the resident dice hater, and somehow I find the randomness in Eclipse almost entirely acceptable. Even if you get a shit start, there are usually plays you can make. But you should go into it knowing that you might have to play from behind through no fault of your own.

Just thinking of house ruling something to do with discovery tiles, either to remove the most egregious offenders or to allow a redraw if someone draws total garbage.

>TI4
I haven't played enough of TI4 to truly get into the political shenanigans, so I can't give an opinion worth a shit, but that's what you would get it for. If you want a "euro" that is centered all around space combat, you should get Eclipse.
>>
>>97362048
>Can the things you discover in a system nudge change your strategy?
Absolutely. If you discover a bunch of science planets, you can take it easy on early combat and go hard on teching up. If you find a free frigate laying around while exploring, that may fuel your early expansion, or give you space to sit back and just build orbitals. If you find an ancient ship part, that might influence what kinds of ships you make or how you design them.

Nudge is maybe even too soft a word. It's more like riding the wave of what you are able to find through exploration, what tech tiles are available, and what your opponents are doing. Your overall strategy may not necessarily change that much, but your capabilities will and you must act accordingly.

I dunno much about what a 'euro' entails, other than it's usually called 'dry' and methodical vs colourful and random.

I actually enjoy the lore video when I’m building models. It helps me amped up for painting/playing. I get why they draw the wrong crowd though.

GW could make a killing if they made another spinoff called “Battle For Terra” or something. Make it all on a folding game board with premade, even more miniature models/sets. Cull the army list down to Ultramarines, Black Templar, Deathwatch, Chaos Marines (general), Tyranids and Orks. Then have simple higher/lower rollfest rules with very little modifications for the room temperature IQ LARPsquad. Throw in some token characters from the video game and wa la.

800 years before ww1 when the crusaders took Jerusalem. The Templars performed some kind of ritual in the city (unclear if it was a mistake or something else) and it opened a gate to hell. Humanity has been fighting a war against hell for the past 800 years.

I kind of envision some of their divisions as a mix between Syndicate/Progenitors and Null Mysteriis working on a more global scale. I think they could gel nicely with Network Zero and Null with the characters of Network Zero doing recon and interviewing the conscious monsters, Null Mysteriis doing more direct research and having Cherion commercialize the results in a serious way.
I don't know, I think there's potential in going that flavor than pure Pentex and mad science.

The cases have largely been pretty public, even if the actual putting-down of the Slashers has been a bit more subdued, so I don't think it'd be a stretch for there to be disgusting merchandising off of it.

Could a combination of both work, with people putting out merchandise and making money off the misery, and some Fae leeching off the side of it? Or perhaps donning a mask themselves and hiding amongst teenagers and children to cause some earnest and more immediate fear?

>>97362064
That's good to hear. I don't want to push my players too far into the occult that they start having to diverge their skillset too wildly away from what they currently enjoy doing, which just so happens to involve mundane guns, brawn and a little bit of good ol' thinkin'.

>>97362089
A Changeling doesn't always need a personal reason to do stuff. Kids dressing up as real horrific monsters instead of pretend ones might be a plan to gain the favour of Autumn by keeping real monsters in the mind of mortals.
Or the fae does it because it's funny to fuck with the Hunters, bonus points if it's ment as a reward but backfires completly.

A deranged autumn courtier might even have helped create the Slashers to get more candy by trick-or-treating.
Or to hold up their end of an arcane bargain with a higher power.

As for merchandising, that is a great idea. Money is a good motivator for Changelings and Hobgoblins. Creating masks and costumes from the mind altering substances of the Hedge could even have funny side effects like random transformations or bouts of insanity.

>What is Trench Crusade?
An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.

>What Trench Crusade is not
TC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.

>What's the QRD on the background?
The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.

>>
>>97361977
Mage: the Ascension/awakening is the system.
It's a little bit difficult to say really, every mage filters their magic through a paradigm, a way they see magic and its place in reality as a whole. If you get too flippant with magic around people who haven't been awoken then reality will try to assert itself and backlash on you.

The closest is probably magic masquerading as sci-fi, as my mage's paradigm is based around engineering and science (arc weapons instead of casting 'lightning Bolt's). It also helps he's incredibly intelligent, allowing some of his gadgets to actually mechanically function without magic.

Filtering magic through the lens of technology and nearish future sci-fi concepts let's him get away with more than most, as the consensus of reality has been exposed to enough of those concepts to believe they could exist. I have a much easier time getting around paradox backlash than say, our art streamer mage who paints things into reality or our daoist who uses 'chi' manipulation and various talismans.

around 5 years. i started it shortly after my exposure to the culture war, which was around 2019. the game at this point shares very little with the first iteration. the main thing it still shares is that it uses memes for pictures, but that's about it. that's also another reason the name has changed, because it's a different game. i have also changed a lot over those 5 years, unrecognizably in some areas. i'd hope that most people who been on this ride since normie season ended 2015ish (w/ trump) have also changed a lot.

That's neat; decent production value for an amateur project test kit.

Did the first iterations develop in such a way that revealed inherent structural weaknesses?

I've been building my own base system for skirmish games for a while, but because I suck at maths, finding the sweet spot for bonuses and balancing stats for asymmetrical point values has been very hit and miss.
And I throw out and bring back dice curves on alternating weeks, because I am indecisive about how swingy I want it.

On a level, it's good to never be satisfied with your own work; but I feel like my portfolio would look less empty if I had shat out a few flawed iterations to completion first; even if I were less than happy with the results.

So next time I hack something together that *kinda* works I'mma run with it for a while, instead of abandoning it in the woods like a baby with a hare lip.

That's dumb

It is probably not too controversial to say that the art of modern rulebooks is made with female representation in mind.

These women are predominantly filling important roles, such as archmages, military officers, or nobles.
But how come there is barely any art that shows them in peril, or at a clear disadvantage? Regardless of their status.

There is no shortage of men in peril.
Neither in classic nor in modern art.

Read the 3e core book (link below). For mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial:http://mengtzu.github.io/exalted/sakuya.html
It’ll get you familiar with most of the mechanics.

>Gosh that was fun. How do I find a group?
Roll20 and the Game Finder General here on /tg/. good luck

The game IS in the wrong, though, because white wolf contrarianism is shit. I will not stick up for "what's written" if it's bad

>>97361763
A lot of the time people complain about stuff that is neither bad nor contrarian, though, merely not in line with excpectations based on memes and Internet arguments.

Exalted naming convention is obtuse at times, which makes remembering characters names hard.
We can have a group of siblings named, Prruzzli Tjjug, Fo’c’sle Fixation and Jude.

Yes, but it doesn't explain the push and the glazing.

what rarity is this jauzah? the whole card is shiny not only the art, but it's not starlight

it's insane that ygo doesn't have colored rarity symbols like mtg. I've seen stores not even notice cards are QCR

>>97361757
Ultra Rare
>>
>>97361757
It's an Ultra. Collector's rares are similar but have textured borders that in my opinion look kinda like fingerprints.

UR (ultra rare). The only other rarity it is in the set is CR (collector rare). Here's an example of a CR vs UR.
The colored foil ridge art+extras and rainbow foil (looks white/silver here) name for CR and the UR is gold name and rainbow foil art.
>rarity like mtg
That idea kind of breaks down in usefulness once you have cards that appear in multiple rarites in the same set. Such as this example where there's a UR and CR, or the OCG's entire product structure where cards very often come in multiple rarities. So it's not going to do much to help.
While the idea sounds reasonable at first but the games are structured too different and it doesn't translate.
>>
>>97362152
Quick addendum, looked it up immediately after because I almost forgot they put starlight rares in these sets now too alongside the CRs. But there is still no QCRs in the set.

RIFTS! The science fantasy world of post-apoc cyborgs, wizards, dragons, ninjas, giant mecha, super-nazis, robot ninjas, vampires, underwater kingdoms, remnant human supertech civilizations and everything you can imagine all rolled into one setting where interdimensional RIFTS have pierced Earth's fabric and turned it into a playground for aliens and monsters!

Plus other Palladium Games about superheroes, zombies, classic fantasy, supernaturals investigation and more.

>Robotech (lol)

Triax 2 Fat Boy and Hell Angel seem like strict upgrades for their specialties. Taurus seems like kind of a joke but I once played a character using the chassis for the extra gun mount, putting a classic boom gun on one shoulder and the Silver Wolf particle beam on the other (presuming dual fire-linked classic boom guns is too much for it to handle).

I think the republican glitterboy mark 3 deserves some mention as technically the worst, as its just an augmented EBA suit. So it is thus the weakest stat wise and its built in weapons are the lowest damage.

Mutants in Orbit one always needs to cool down though. It'd be great to find a work around to that

The mark V has unlimited flight time, and only 100 mdc less.
You are talking the mark IV, which in atmosphere is cool but not as amazing as the V
