has anyone given though to the state of mathematics in fantasy settings and how it affects the setting and characters in it? e.g.>tribes in not!Africa struggle with trade because they can't count past 2>how traders to calculation to determine prices, risk, etc>how well astronomers understand the motion of the heavens>how the characters think (i.e. logically, or numerically, or in a poetic / non-mathematical way)
>>97368098makes sense. the more primitive your civilization is, the less accurately you need to be able to measure time. at the extreme end, if all you do is hunt and gather then you probably don't need to understand time beyond "past, present, future", and only the present is really necessary.
>>97368370To distract from the antisemitism in the third line.
>>97367640Yes, Magic is not a substitute for good math. So math is (at least in my settings) equal to or better than roman era maths. Meaning they have everything up through calculus. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes_Palimpsest Heres the thing /tg/ most of the 4chan mfers here are dumbasses that think hur dur fantay world is fullah nothin but ignorant peasants grasping at mud fer foods. Try reading some actual history, we had thousands of years of advancement and we could have had the renaissance during the roman period if not for bad luck. So stop trying to paint earlier times as stupider than they actually were. The romans built huge aquaducts arched bridges and huge buildings using solid engineering principals and math. So stop being tards and build your fucking worlds so that theyd work even if magic stopped working
>>97370667It is and don't listen to that tard. Generals are a tendril of the cancer killing this board. They're anti fun and full of people here to pretend that they're social rather than adding anything to the board
>give players a simple logic problem for a one shot dungeon as the central puzzle and traversal mechanic>12 variables on buttons in a 3x4 pattern that allow for 3 digit combinations (to create either water, earth, fire or air)>every variable is a symbol that's tied vaguely to one of the elements>if you randomly press buttons and get faulty combinations, random floor tiles will drop into an endless abys, making the dungeon more dangerousit took them 3+ hours to figure it out. until then, they just abused it to make random enemies drop into chasms.

>>97371637Forgot to ask.Need something more elegan or bulkyer?
>>97370293Magnets.
>>97371661I was imagining something on the sleeker/elegant side, leaning into the vanquish/anime inspiration in terms of stylistic mentality as opposed to a bulkier western concept of power armor, kinda along these lines https://imgur.com/a/e6YUP71That said >>97371637 is crazy, and greatly appreciated, friend, thank you! I really dig the chain mail texturing around the upper thighs, neat detail. I hope you mend up soon; and if you need something to read while recovering, you could do worse than checking out Mage. If you check out the 'Technocracy Reloaded' book you'll probably get a good grasp of the general direction my mage is going.
So my DND group was kind of disolving, 2 out of the 4 players left because of life issues (one got a job abroad and the other one is dealing with life), to keep playing we incorporated 2 new players with not so much experience but avid watchers of Critical Role.One of these player conditions was that we incorporate x cards to the game, she says that it makes it much more comfortable for her to know she can avoid unpleasant story elements having this tool. I started to read a bit about it online and is this something you guys have used? In my 20 years playing I've never used this.
>>97370535Yes. Yes, it is common sense. A fair number of groups seem to somehow immediately discard their common sense when it comes to the concept of a game of pretend, though, and forget the people around them aren't clothing store dolls and real people who are going to judge them by how stupid they act.
They would have been nice if we had those when the DM railroaded my fucked up childhood backstory character into nooky with a dryad. RP-wise she felt it was necessary to go along with one more rape and the emotional fallout eventually led to pvp
>>97363372>player conditionswhat the FUCK, player conditions? Players can sit the shit down and eat what they are given, holy heck players are worthless scum and should be happy to even be given a seat at the table
>>97364465>And one extremely interesting consistent result he found is that the "second generation victims", i.e. the children of victims, tend to be much more strongly traumatised by these sorts of experiences and react much more emotionally when talking or thinking about them than the actual people who survived through them.Evolutionary advantage to hold a grudge against those who wronged your family and to obliterate them
>>97364410>Dude no one wants to hear the GMs sexual fantasies uncheckedWhich is why you actually suss out whether the GM is a magical realmer before playing with him instead of opting into a performative social justice bludgeon that is intentionally designed to be as abusable as possible.

>>97372416Well at least you won
>>97372416Depressing as shit. Also speaking of local stores, I was looking at stores in Sydney and it's kind of weird. All of them are like converted storerooms or little warehouses with open garage doors in the middle of industrial areas away from all public transport. I mean that part makes sense because you sort of need a car to transport the stuff anyway. But is this what it's like in the rest of the world. I always figured the stores would be like actual stores, not creepy industrial alleys.

>>97372488I've seen a miniature painting service work out of a container like that. But no shops. One shop I loved was a tiny tudor attic above another shop crammed with boxes of miniatures and somehow a gaming table.

>>97372499>>97372524I sure wish they were a little more accessible. I feel like I'd be more inclined to join one if I could just walk in and check it out. Oh well I'll just keep painting for solo games.
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?

He isn't after a module for him specifically, he's after a generally good module with broad appeal for new players again acting on the assumption that a module members of the community think is good for new players is in fact likely to be good for new players. He wants a good introduction for them rather than trying one and finding it's a poor fit that turns them off.

dead before bump limit edition▶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=FNLc8dHv0AcThe 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.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97371378>But it's actually like 20-30% of the events that result in "you die" scenarios.And this is where the problem is. Once you start making one change, now the gate is wide open to change everything. And before you know it you aren't playing Kingdom Death any more but something else completely different.Your problem is that you want the game to be something other than what it is. If you want a tight, balanced game system there are much much better options than Kingdom Death. Kingdom Death is a story generator, that's its strength. It's not the game you want to play.
>>97372128Maybe this would come as a shocker to you, but just because you paid for it, and it came in a sealed box, doesn't mean the game is a good complete gameDoesn't mean it's good, perfectly balanced as intended and working speckless.This also happens in many AAA digital games equivalent of this AAA tabletop, massive in scope and with many many variables.The only difference being, in digital format, you get something called a "patch" that fix little things that makes the game better/less broken.But you have to pay for that benefit on cardboard version, piggyBecause you have to pay for it, you OVERLOOK the flaws it may have on it's complexity/scope, and call it "perfectly good in all accounts as intended it's like that it's supposed to be bad in this section it's supposed to be trash on this part"
>>97372128And while I agree with you that the game does have a large amount of those "You die" scenario in the hunt phase, the vast vast majority of them actually have some type of "counter-play" associated with them. Many of them are involved in some capacity with rolling on hunt events, but typically will typically have some type of bonus if you have a whip, sickle, pickaxe, etc. The whip I think is a perfect example here, with traditionally lower damage during the showdown, but with a good specialization and mastery, it's a support tool that excels when brought in addition to another weapon for the hunt phase.Harvester is the outlier precisely because it is not really generating an interesting story. You simply decided to bring (in core) one or two early game items that can fill out some slots, and you were punished for it by having that character be killed, your hunt will probably end in failure because it's early on, and now you're down 4 characters and 8 additional resources. If it's before the butcher, your settlement is basically over and now you're going through the motions of watching the rest of your settlement get clubbed to death like a bunch of baby seals.I get that your argument is all about flavor and story-telling, but I personally don't find the story "rocks fall, everyone dies" to be interesting.
>>97372240I think you're vastly overstating the effect of one survivor dying in the hunt phase. I've had plenty of hunts with a dead hunt phase survivor or 1-2 round showdown phase death come back just fine. And even if it doesn't a wipe is not the end of the world in this game. Maybe a wipe plus a bunch of other bad luck on top of it, but just a wipe by itself is basically nothing you're going to have 1-2 of those a campaign anyways. The game is way more forgiving than you think it is, and survivors (especially early) matter a lot less than you make it out to be.
>>97372293It's actually more the loss of 8 resources if things go south that I would find back breaking than losing the survivors in the early game. But my own biases of being historically unlucky in my own campaigns is bleeding in here, I am certainly an outlier for early game wipes.
