>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 notTC 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/.

Hey thereI've decided to start a West Marches-style campaign on my LGS. It sounds the perfect style to run for a public setting w/ rotating players, but I myself have never DMed oneAny experiences, tips and advices regarding DM-ing/playing West Marches style games?Or general tips for running games on LGS ? For those unfamiliar with West Marches style, here is what google have to say about it:>Player-Driven Exploration: Players decide where to go and what to explore, venturing into unknown territory from a safe starting town.>Rotating Cast: A large pool of players participates, but different combinations of adventurers form parties for each session, preventing the need for a single regular group.>Sandbox World: The world is a sandbox, with the map and plot emerging as players discover new locations and rumors, rather than being dictated by the GM.>No Fixed Schedule: Sessions occur when players organize themselves, often on a voluntary basis.>Low GM Prep: The Game Master (GM) focuses on creating a world and potential encounters, responding to player choices, rather than crafting complex plots.>Self-Contained Sessions: Adventures are often designed to be resolved in a single session, with storylines evolving over time.Comment too long.

>>97329961West Marches is a way to run a game where there is no set session time and a large player pool; players arrange a group among themselves and schedule the session subject to the DM being available. As the PC group is thus liable to be different with each session, the strict rule is that the players must set out from the starting town, explore the adventure site, and return within the time slot of each session.The map is an abstract map of regions with random encounters and dungeons within them (here is the main difference from a hexcrawl you were probably looking for), spreading out in a 180° angle from a starting town which is the last outpost of civilization, and getting more dangerous the further away from this starting town and into the wilderness the PCs explore. Hexcrawls are a more normal campaign structure typically run for a regular fixed group and where the exploration and travel are far more granular. Hexcrawls usually do not have any depth-based or similar difficulty differentiation; instead, the standard (as in Basic D&D for example) is to wait until the PCs have achieved a certain level and the resilience that comes with it before introducing overland exploration. Hexcrawls often contain numerous towns and villages.
>>97308471Unironically, use real world time-scaling between sessions.Two weeks between games?Figure out what your characters were doing in the meantime, like investing in land, training skills or gambling and whoring, adjust personal wealth to reflect changes.And have your party extract from dungeons before session end, or else be captured by enemies, and have to begin the next session by escaping and recovering their equipment and loot; this approach encourages players to have a plan when attacking dungeons.I wouldn't necessarily have the players tied down to a particular location "permanently", but adventures would for sure expect to be operating out the same inn or coaching house, or feasthall, for the purposes of any given session.
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 (embed)>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0 (embed)>Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128 (embed)Comment too long.

>gameplayFor Centaurs, you should be able to use them as mounts when not in combat if they're lightly armed & armored. I think you could ride into battle with them and fight on their back without overburdening them, depending on your loadout. Squeezing into dungeons and caves might be a bit of a bitch, and your centaur companion may find themselves too cumbersome to accompany you in certain locations. If people in wheelchairs can make do, I'm sure a transmog potion or a shrinking potion might solve the problem.>fantasy settingsThey're more at home here for sure, like having a horse. Some taverns may give you a hard "no" for your centaur companion, but I'm sure regions that are steeped in centaur culture or adjacent ones have accommodations for their unique anatomy. If nothing else, they could help carry your camp supplies and other provisions. >loadouts for fantasyIf you're not riding them, I think they can be pretty well armed and armored- think tower shield and a mace/flail. They also make good spearmen, so I think they'd be comfortable wielding a halbard and similar pike-style weapons. This would be with them wearing plate mail cuirass for the human portion and chainmail curtain over their horse hind quarters, or perhaps some specially fitted Gambeson. Other plate sections could be fitted to their horse body as needed. Archery and crossbows seem like they'd work for ranged options. I've not considered them using magic, but having a fairly mobile spellcaster seems cool as well.
>>97276298I happen to have the Hc Svnt Dracones 2nd Ed book on hand and you made me curious what taurism actually does mechanically.Taurs have:>Base movement of 4 hexes, over the humanoid's 3>Base Mass of 7, over the basic body's 5 'Mass' determines max wounds and modified Endure and Evade saves. Higher Mass = bonuses to Endure and maluses to Evade.>Shape: Long - a Taur takes up two hexes instead of 1 and needs opens spaces to turn around on the map>Fault: Stealth Bad at stealth because you're fuarking big. Makes sense. I forget how Faults work specifically but I think it's basically a -1 to stealth related skill checks. >Perks: lowers the difficulty of Endure saves against being knocked over or forcefully moved. If you would be knocked over automatically you're entitled to at least attempt the save at a DM specified difficulty. Also your carry capacity is Body stat + Mass + Hexes occupied so taurs can carry a lot>Snakes can take Taurism to turn into naga (normally they have to be actual snakes instead of humanoid)>birds can take taurism to get back wings instead of having their arms act as wings; they don't get to simplify Endure saves but they start out with hands-free flight, which would normally take surgery>Drawbacks: a taur in full battle rattle can weigh as much as 900 pounds and the book encourages you to play into this as the GM.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97327634I'd leverage that enormous carry capacity and quadruped stability.Something like relatively small back or side-mounted heavy weapons.Basically, either a heavy frontline assault, or a backline heavy hitter.On the other hand, carrying capacity and good endurance lends well to being a medic/rescuer.Just grab the wounded and stampede the fuck out, then tend to the wounds in safety.>Drawbacks: a taur in full battle rattle can weigh as much as 900 pounds and the book encourages you to play into this as the GM.I wonder how much more you could endure and carry if you add an exoskeleton or power armor, basically turning into a walking tank.>900 pounds, aka 408 kg with changeGood fucking lawdy.
>>97327806>Good fucking lawdy.They're straight up the size of a small horse. Or sometimes a regular horse, because horses were added in the expansion for 2nd Ed. They big. The equipment rules state that you get your armor and one weapon you have on you most of the time for free, weight wise, so the advantage is not quite as glaring as you'd expect at first glance (barring some obvious exceptions for stuff like tiny characters, which have special rules). But if you get an Omniframe or the Physical Enhancement surgery (same bonuses) then you can double your carry capacity and use two-handed weaponry with just one hand. This does mean that you can akimbo shit like the heavy machinegun equivalent if you have the Body stat for it. This is still doable by normal dudes but the taur has a lot more headroom for it, especially since shooting is derived from your Mind stat so if you're going to be the heavy weapons guy you don't actually want to be pouring more into Body than you need to carry weapons.

>>97331262>End the session right as combat breaks out. Start each session with combat.Plan 4-5 "scenes" you want to potentially tackle per sessionPlan fights as combat starts or stops is good, but you can run combat normally and stop it in the middle of it. Rule of thumb is not so much to stop at combat, but rather find a good moment to end the session on a cliffhanger. It keeps people engaged and excited for the next session. Not so much about combat, more about not ending on a flat note that can cause confusion instead of a singular strong event that needs little recap.Keep chicken sexing(guessing timeslots per scene/interaction and looking back on why those guesses were wrong/right) and you'll eventually get good at itIt also really depends on the groupI've had 4 hour sessions and I thought I had a good cliffhanger and the group really really wanted to continueAlso>Just tell me how you feel.
