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:

So, when during the initiative special attacks of monsters happen? I presume is the DM that decides.
Say a Dragon's breath is during the monsters ranged phase.. correct?
>>
>>97381677
Depending on the special attack. I would categorize Dragon's Breath as a Spell.

Say the party encounters a group of enemies fighting in a formation with two swordsmen in the front and two spearmen attacking from the second rank.
1. If a party member charges, would the entire formation be entitled to an attack first if their weapons are all longer than the fighter's weapon?
2. Can the second rank brace their spears against the charge, or would they have to be in the first rank?
3. If the Fighter chooses to close into combat, would that prevent the second rank of spearmen from attacking in the first round of initiative, or only the first rank?

Currently the most played one, uses a d20 resolution for everything, has powers building and rules for tactical combat.

>Marvel TSR/ FASERIP
Classic Supers game from the 80s, still has a lot of fans and various retro-clones. Uses a d100 with an universal resolution table to decide the degree of success, has random character generation and abstract rules for powers and combat.

It was a superhero game, he was a space demigod with daddy issues that needed to take a short cut to another side of the galaxy through a parallel dimension, so without informing the group he went to a space colony's anti-matter core reactor and used it for his needs accidentally trapping the whole planet between planes of reality and making it look like he perished in the attempt, the rest of the group thought he died but in reality he went on an extra dimensional errant and came back later in the game.

Isn’t any sword blessed enough to effect deamons and warp spawn able to do that or am I forgetting something?
>>
>>97381707
A lot of swords can be sanctified, allowing them to cut through the daemonic energies that surround them and make killing them easier, but their daemonic essence will still return to the warp afterwards. Permakilling daemons has only been seen like twice, and one of those was the Emperor himself.
>>
>>97381819
What happens if you kill one of them inside the warp then? Like on a ship with a gellar failure
>>
>>97381937
The daemonic essence still returns to its patron god and its "realm" to reform. It won't reform instantly, but it will still reform eventually. Once again, perma-killing daemons is usually done a handful of ways.
>>
>>97382022
Okay so a sword that got so good at killing daemons it can banish them back to the warp or their patron god if in the warp is fine?

▶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=FNLc8dHv0Ac

The 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.

I'm really really hoping you arent pointing out using new game+ variants of the game in the core when it's convenient anon, that sounds like modding.
Storyteller variant that, by the way, say they NEVER control a survivor.
So you mean to say that the new player that lost his character, never play a survivor again and it's always the monster for the rest of the campaign? The new player picks the settlement event?

Before you ask about my name I was unfortunately embraced while overweight

Been drinking alcoholics blood heavily missing the joy of a good dinner at a beautiful restaurant
At this point I'd take a crime ridden O-Tulleys
Blood isn't the fucking same I'm sick of lapping up red water like a fucking dog
For the love of Sett is there any way to experience solid food again

And you tell me "BUT BLOOD IS BETTER THAN ANY 5 STAR RESTAURANT"

In House Venus shadows begin to flicker and shift as through a large shadow on the wall steps a tall figure, shadows wisping off of him, the figure looks at Mercury with piercing purple eyes, hands her/him a box with a little label that says 'To House Venus' he then vanishes as quickly as he came. With his leave the room feels lighter and the shadows quiet down. the box is to be opened with all of House Venus present. Inside is a note and a small vial of clear liquid. the note reads: "This is all I managed to acquired from Boy Toy before he passed, a vial containing his tears, they were all that survived the destabilization. -Kakophoni" [they are actually Boy Toy's tears]

Mercury Lamp looks like a 12 year old girl with blonde curls and blue eyes in a cream Victorian dress, she approached Kakophoni without any fear and with rigid movements worthy of a a doll, in fact she looks too much like a doll. She looked at both Kakophoni and his gift with the same calm a kine would have for a timely Amazon delivery.

She accepted said gift with both hands outstretched and a light bow, and will obediently wait for the right time to open it. She managed to say: "Welcome thank you farewell." in an dispassionate robotic monotone, she appeared to be more interested in the wall behind Kakophoni than him.
Mercury Lamp's aura looks like a pure white canvas with a flickering gold border and multiple sparkles, it's indistinguishable from a human aura in term of intensity and opacity.

Man of Florida is a 6'2'' tall, sharply dressed, hairless African-American Tzimisce Antitribu gentleman in his early 50s with complex scarification patterns all over his skin, but he doesn't show much skin, as he wears a Regency-era dark blue short slip waistcoat with a strangely thin waistline, and a high collar and trousers that make his figure appear taller, and a big, kind smile.

He bowed in the manner of an European aristocrat from 2 centuries ago, and rushed in, in the hope to at least shake Kakophoni's hand, but the guest left too soon. Don't worry, he took it well, with a smile, and elegantly bid adieu. You couldn't have paired Mercury Lamp with a more dissimilar person.
His aura is a womanly mix of lavender, pink and violet, it's even paler than the average vampire.

The problem is that there's a lot of focus and energy put into strictly competitive play. Consider the 4e rulebook that has a section dedicated to a huge campaign with these crazy custom rules where one board could affect the other board and vice-versa with objectives that affected the whole thing. That and there are people who will study the rules for hours and hours looking to game every little thing, there's no room for cool thematic rules like tracked vehicles utilizing roads better or the fact that the chimera is amphibious.

Hey guys the system I'm running does not give any kind of hit bonus or anything for stealth, and I'm not sure that that omission is a rule in itself because it's incredibly sparsely written to the point of being unclear in many different places, not just here. The system is called Five Torches Deep. anyflip dot com slash oynzm slash goyb
I'm now stuck somewhere between nothing, the OSR sources where attacking from stealth gives +4 to hit, or 5e where attacking from stealth gives advantage. What do I do? What works?

Titamon ft. Titans seems fun to play so far, biggest issue I have with the deck currently is that we don't have a better lvl 6; the promo isn't bad it just lacks ways to keep discarding to proc effects, it relies to heavily on the lower levels.

I hope BT25 gives us a good [TS] Titamon and Plutomon

BT24 Purple Tsuno is a fun card to use since it can shit out a level 4 or 5 that you've just discarded, but I only run 1 of it since BT6 Tsuno keeps your hand at a decent size.

Dan/Kanan seem to be the best Tamer to use for the deck since they let you use option cards for free and keep the ability to attack. The generic [TS] option cards are busted in combination with this - especially Tidal stream since it unsuspends.

Yeah, there are some strong fundamental weaknesses in the deck. Both promo titamon and the egg cause a lot of problems you have no solution for.

If you can stomach spending 1 for a rookie, try BT9 Pagumon. It makes the whole deck run way smoother, although at an obvious cost.

So I bought this as I really like Conan 2d20 System and I was surprised that system appears to be very rules lite compared to Conan 2d20 or WHFR 4E and a lot of rules and stuff appears to be on GM to flesh out. Usually i pay for RPG books because i don't want to figure out how much damage or to hit modifier some fancy sword has but in Dune core rulebook, its precisely that, book demands that i figure it out instead of giving me stat blocks.
may be its just I'm retarded, or this system is lazy slop cashing in on movie craze?

"My loss" would be wasting more time and money with yet another system claiming to be a game, only to end up hearing "sorry that doesn't fit in with the story I'm trying to tell" and sitting around doing nothing while retards make voices at each other most of the session.
That aside, if I wanted Dune and Star Trek, I'd just go watch their respective media.

It isn't really my loss at all, because I'd rather spend my time testing mechanics I like to use in a game someday.

That I don’t know, I only skimmed the book before shelving it.

But if I were to speculate, given the power and status the PCs are likely to poses right out of the gate, my guess would be to expect the game to play more like an open-world sandbox. The degree to which being based on status.

I asked one of veteran players at my local hobby shop/club and they said that Dune is similar to Fate as a lot of what you can do is moderated by "assets" you have, which can range from character aspects like "honorable" or "Duelist", to special knowledge you have like kompromats or special gear you have. Assets work in similar fashion as aspects in fate.
They also said item i have (agents of dune) is good for initial run and getting hang of the system as its designed to ease in into using system fully.

like >>97379650 said, your PC are either heads of house or very high ranking retainers so its usual stuff of increasing prestige/power of the house, corporate warfare between rival houses (as each house produce stuff, so you want to sabotage competitors while protecting yours) and appeasing powerful factions such as sisterhood, guild, the Emperor etc.
