Got told to ask in here because of a lot of shitposting, and looking at the bottom of the thread I kinda believe it.Anyone have the answer to this post? >>97293851
>>97293893>Classless Into the Odd is classless and works well with it and encouraging the gameplay style you like. Maze Rats is not quite classless and ok. Good tables to use regardless. There's probably more but those are the two that come to mind. >levelless No idea sorry, don't swing that way. >solo Scarlet Heroes is great but its not classless or levelless. Does a good job of being pulp hero action for solo or 1 player games. The class and level features aren't intrusive but if they're a deal breaker it might not work. There's a stripped down version called Exemplars & Eidolons, no real opinion on it, just know its a thing.
>>97293992>Into the OddThank you friend, I've been meaning to look into that one. That and Maze Rats. I've heard of Scarlet Heroes and that's not off the plate cause I remember liking how it works seamlessly with the stats. I'll keep looking if anyone else has suggestions too.
>>97294016There's 3ish Into the Odd rulebooks, the original, the reprint and the one that came with Silent Titans. The reprint is likely your best bet although I like the original for being very short. The Silent Titans one has an expanded character creation table but its customized for the setting.
>>97293893I think Dragonbane is classless and levelless. I'm not sure though because I haven't read or played it myself, just read about it.
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>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0 >Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128 >Need a starter dungeon?

>>97292693>Y tho?Because Finch can't resist writing shitbrews and marketing them as faithful retroclones. See S&W, that the vast majority of morons on plebbit think is OD&D.
>>97289537I have used silver standard and never had a single issue until I felt compelled to actually include electrum and platinum, those coins become quite valuable. I don't think D&D currency is bad, but I never liked how worthless copper and silver were before, but any change I've ever made to the system just breaks everything unless I revamp it myself (which I'm only experimenting with now).
>>97289537>>97289824I'd prefer to use silver, but until I write my own shitbrew I don't want to correct players everytime they actually open the book and read the equipment section.Silver Standard is objectively better though. Raggi made the right call on that.
>>97292693>Thief skills: you can move at half speed while Hiding in Shadows (Hide), you also move at half speed while Moving Silently (Move Quietly)>I don't really mind this one, I guess. It's the kind of thing typically handled by DM adjudication. A hard ruling on it isn't really a big deal.Not to exaggerate the importance of this change, but AD&D already has a hard ruling on it, it's not left to adjudication. Namely, you can't move when Hiding in Shadows, but you can Move Silently at full speed.
>>97293482Eh, if you're going for realism anyway, platinum coins are silly and electrum should be worth less than gold, since it's an alloy of gold and silver.

I really like these Zero-G Stormtroopers. They actually operate like Space Marines and resemble discount 40K Termies.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v2HYyQKp14&t=3s
>>97260215>beyond having Stormtroopers and a few recognizable vehicles Seems like a recipe for good Star Wars content.

>>97258796How does the Jedi Explorer match up against the Ford Explorer?
ITT: post bad miniatures. whether it's bad sculpts, bad paint jobs, both, or just minis you find awful.
>>97293964you first.
Anyone play it yet? I like the "rustic fantasy" setting. The core rules seem interesting, it has more mechanics and gameplay than most other narrative games. I enjoy that it doesn't have moves or whatever to confine you, you can actually play your character and do whatever you want. It's got enough knobs and options in terms of resolution I feel like it's actually a real game despite having that more story focus vs simulation focus. And I like that the DM has all the traditional power of the DM and there's not like "Fate Points" or something else that gives players control to change stuff.Thinking I might try a short game for my table, just a few lower powered sessions. It also has good tools for a solo stuff which is interesting.

I was a little interest in this. The way it used tags seemed interesting enough, but I got the impression that trying to figuring out which tags to use (both positive and negative), and to justify using them, seemed like it would be exhausting after a short whileI also think the smaller personal quests, and the constant idea that you need to turn a negative trait into something positive to level up to be a neat idea in concept, but I just imagine people trying to justify and argue that they did it so they could level up.It's been a while since I read the book, so I might misremember some things
The system feels like it's trying too hard to reinvent the wheel to justify its existence.

>>97289615Drill abbots are still ordained preachers, with all the training and indoctrination that requires. The Ecclesiarchy already has a lot of soft power over guard veterans, being the keepers of their religion, and guardsman loyalty to the Militarum is always in question, which is why they have commissars in the first place. It really seems much more that the Ministorum is the one with fingers in every pie. And I don't think there's a worry about calling their moral authority into question, each Adepta openly does so already with everyone else. The Imperium is a paranoid place.
Could this Faith Talent, using the burn effect, potentially heal a dreadnoughted marine back to full form?

She tried the 'usual' for her; outskirts of town; miniskirt, heels, etc. Lured in some schlub who managed to shuffle into a nearby alleyway, get his pants off, then immediately had a fucking heart attack on her. We had to drag him into the RV so he didn't die on us and dump him at the nearest hospital. Real glad I saved the maps of the area.Wouldn't recommend visiting unless you're a real blue blooded freak.

>>97293288Excellent design, but this is more of an orc than a goblin.
I've spent the last year, studying, and designing a custom Arthurian set, originally intended to be based on Le Morte d'Arthur (like how P3k was based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms). However, as I continued to study, and look into different (and some obscure sources) this turned into a much more wider net. This set, which is no where near finished includes>Welsh Triads and The Magnibong>Pre-Vulgate Arthur traditions>Vulgate/Post Vulgate/Lancelot cycles>some English/Welsh fairy tales>and even a bit of the Victorian Arthurian revival (especially for art). I avoided the Italian and German romances entirely, and tried not to include weird outliners except when needed. Outside of art, nothing is sourced from the 20th century or onward. Also all art is public domain. I'm mainly posting here for feedback. Some will be art recommendations, flavor text (especially sourced) will be always welcomed.Comment too long.

>>97285684Storm isn't fun since it just is spamming spells and then playing some lame shit like Grapeshot.
>>97293727Grapeshot is fun, though. Carefully managing suspends until I can land in the exact count that will finish off my opponent with Spinerock Storm was one of the most fun decks I've ever played in any Standard.
>>97293775No matter what people.say I will always think of Time Spiral/Lorwyn Standard was the golden age of the game. We had a big card pool that complex and nuanced and skill-testing, a lot of different archetypes were viable, we had complex interactions, unintuitively powerful cards, and a metagame that was actually changing around all the time. Literally peak.
