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:

Know what, my immediate first instinct:
It's an incredibly bored Demilich staving off ennui by watching their adventures
If the truth is revealed it will, reluctantly, teach necromancy (while advising that being a skeleton sucks) and cheer them on, but otherwise refuses to engage in their adventures since "If I wanted to adventure, I'd adventure myself, I'm just here for the entertainment."

Bane and Fear are subclass dependent, and the pseudo-Fireball is also a new one. I really think the bigger problem is that you just need more points to make it work.
Maybe it could be points equal to proficiency, but then you regain points on a short rest equal to the number of Death Knight feats you have beyond the Initiate? That's the quickest fix I can think of anyway.

I always hear about the stir this caused, and recently about how bad or redeemable it is. I'm not certain about it myself because I dabbled with 3e and then got into 5e, never paid much attention to the scene during that entire era. What does /tg/ think of the system?

>>
>>97825760
I'm aware the glut of information 3.x provides about various minutia such as this. What I'm asking is how would any of that actually help flesh a 4e game out and help a DM play to its strengths? What is lacking in PHB1, DMG1, the Rules Compendium, or any setting specific other book that would be necessary for a DM to provide for interesting roleplay or exciting encounter building, if not both? Part of what makes 4e so DM friendly is it doesn't concern itself with such things as rote standard, but provides just enough in case the DM wants to make things difficult. What is missing that a DM has to have to make 4e work better for what it does? Not what is missing that makes 4e inferior to your system of choice.

A level 30 Defender will have about 194 hp at 30 while and level 30 Controller will have ~128 hp at that level. At 30 an Ancient Red Dragon is meant to be a standard solo opponent rather than a solo boss fight. Compare it to level 26 characters if you want an Ancient red Dragon to be a boss fight.

If 4e was an automated campaign dungeon crawler type game like gloomhaven, it could have been one of the best board games ever made
>>
>>97825956
There were attempts. Ravenloft, Wrath of Ashardalon and Legend of Dritzz. Dungeon Commander even made an attempt to dust off the old concepts from the Miniature Handbook, create a variety of warbands and go at it with another player using the very same combat mechanics of 4e while collecting treasure and managing army morale. Very fun stuff, but they also were very codified, and didn't scratch the same itch 4e could with how many different characters you could create using just one single class. Marketing outside of the 4e crowd was also slim, so the die hards probably only pulled them out when time for a full night of campaign play was limited.

>Muh mechanic's
Basically every game explains in its rules that the GM should come up with the world. The good ones even give him tools to do it with.

But fine, here's another example:
>What's your character's name
>Idk you tell me
>What's his motivation
>Idk you tell me
Those aren't mechanically defined or even required to play the game. This must be your ideal player since your ideal DM does the same thing with his job.

>"DM, is there a blacksmith in this village?"
>Yea, sure, he moved out of the city to enjoy the quiet life after the accident. What was the accident?
>"What if... he was trying to forge a magic blade, and it blew up, accidentally killing his assistant? And him 'enjoying the quiet life' is actually him hiding from the Guild, who wants to bring him to justice?"
>That's sick, yea when you walk into the smithy you see a grizzled man pounding at an ingot with his left hand; his right hand is missing."

You're really gonna sit here and say "no, the DM should have pre-planned it all, and the player's fun idea for a plot hook is stupid"? Why not just have ChatGPT on text-to-speech and a robot roll your dice while your at it?
>>
>>97825482
It's not that the idea is stupid, it's that it completely derails the rest of the group and puts in meta-game knowledge that the players shouldn't have. So yes, if the DM wanted this blacksmith to have a plot hook asociated with him, he should prep that. If he didn't want that, then why should a player get to add it?

Second, you have no idea if this idea is good or bad. The DM has NOTHING on this blacksmith. He just showed up out of nowhere.

Here's how an actual game would work:
>"Hey DM, is there a blacksmith here"
>"Yes there is, he's a grizzled man missing his right hand. In it's place is a set of prosthetic set of tongs. They are of very high quality and probably weren't forged here."
>"Hmm, interesting. I ask him where he got the tongs."
>"He seems uncomfortable with the question, but responds he got them in the city before hurriedly asking your order."
Now, the players know something is up, but not the specifics and they can decided to follow it up organically instead of feeling forced because clearly Jimmy really wants to track down this new blacksmith quest (that doesn't actually exist yet because the DM didn't make it).

Also if is actually rich hearing you suggest ChatGPT to generate a game when clearly you can't be asked to do it yourself and rely on your players to do your job.
>>
>>97825684
>Here's how an actual game would work
oh shit there I go forgetting that I'm actually a nogames and the fact we're playing like this doesn't count

It's improv; the classic "yes, and..." rule. Why are they asking about a blacksmith? Is it because the party just found a McGuffin in the dungeon and are hoping an NPC could tell them what it is, or give them a lead to investigate it? Maybe the DM expected them to look for someone to cast Identify on it and was planning to introduce the College of Mages this session; and when the players take a more mundane route, they get to introduce a new character and new elements to the story.

Perhaps the blacksmith was forging the exploding-sword on behalf of a mage of the College - was he set up? Does the blacksmith recoil when they present the McGuffin, shouting "Get that Mage-wrought curse out of my shop!" and throw the half-worked molten ingot at them? The point isn't "holy shit this blacksmith is now the #1 most important NPC in the game"; they're just some irrelevant bozo that the DM could have made up on-the-fly, but instead decided to let the player contribute to the world. If the players latch onto this random NPC for whatever reason, the DM can always say "let's come back to this later once I've had a chance to work on him".

I'm not even the DM for the group right now, so attacking me personally isn't super convincing.

That's sort of a post Mao thing, because the CCP got kind of obsessed with proving their legitimacy by promoting muh 10,000 years of Chinese culture after the Cultural Revolution
But they also didn't want people to study useful forms of resistance so the trad martial arts got watered down to death
