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?

Honestly I feel like drawing perfect resources off the bat in the early years is such a curse, because I want to save them which cripples my early game resource efficiency. I almost wish they were only added to the deck for level 2+ monsters only

But I did get quite lucky and get a Sanctuary Sword for a Founding Stone on LY2 (but them men I keep giving it to keep dying on the hunt). Besides losing my two purified survivors the settlement is just trucking along.

>>97307984After Andris had managed to stabilize and drag Lancel out of the clearing a muscular centigor emerged from the forest. She tread softly toward the fallen Skivare and looked down upon her for almost a minute. With a swift chop of her machete she severed Skivare's head, picked it up, and traveled the beast paths to one of the Bleeding rose minor herdstones. She spent the rest of the day cleaning the skull and left it at the base of the new shrine, returning every day make sure it was still there and grow her hatred. Slowly more of the Bleeding rose herd came as well over the following days.Lancel takes several days to recover. His severe concussion slowed his recovery and addled his memory. When he is awake he hollers at anyone nearby that the woods are infested with black beasts out to kill mankind. The few men left of his retinue eye each other as though he's lost his mind, while the elves do their best to hide their reactions entirely. It takes a full week, but eventually he has recovered enough for the elves and men to put together a caravan to return them to the north. Skogsra took notice of the centigor who performed the respect given to Skivare and the offering of her flesh. Here was the first time one of the brays have done something new, something the brays chose to do themselves to honor their fallen leader. Skogsra rewards their new culture with a new creation: the black fountains, the first of which is built using the skull of Skivare herself. As for the centigor, she is afforded the gift to choose her own name. The new Beastlord, Warhoof Kastrerande, now leads the Bleeding Rose Brayherd.Good unusable gens - This shirt barely trying - https://files.catbox.moe/ksbmgk.jpgMore Kastre - https://files.catbox.moe/ar0qs4.jpghttps://files.catbox.moe/e8ni02.jpg

>>97344193Bitch you do not speak for all the fuckass brinkmanship I've seen at individual tables. It's why I hate it more than WW's usual shitty NPCs
>>97344226Alright, fine, I'll admit that saying that it's not truer for any table ever was an exaggeration. Since claiming that it's "always joined to some petty smear against whatever exalt type" was even more of an exaggeration, though, I don't think you should complain.
>>97339438I think one of the old devs just really like Promethean and wanted to shoehorn them into Exalted. I don't hate the Liminals' design space or the idea of a death-themed terrestrial-tier exalt in principle, but I think the Liminals are pretty lame. They would be more interesting if they were just some unique kind of monster instead of another exalt type.
There's such a thing as being a dragon patron.You have bigger fish to fry than doing government work, but you're the strongest thing around.So you install yourself as a figurehead, and tell them not to bother you unless you need to stab someone. Occasionally you ask some of the peasants if there's a corruption problem or shockingly incompetent leadership. If they say yes, you stab a few officials until the problem resolves.
>>97345240Being a dragon patron also means you generally have to stick around and can't go gallivanting off on cool adventures
I know there's Everyone Is John, is there anything like picrel? A lighter Fiasco-style game, mixed with Monster of the Week? (Ideally not PbtA please.)Also what are /tg/'s thoughts on SP? Both the comic and the movie.
>>97344560You don't need a system for slice of life. Just do freeform and maybe a random roll for vibes here and there.I never felt the urge to find out what scott pilgrim is.
>>97344560Slugblasters is basically Scott Pilgrim if he was a skater bro instead of a band kid
>>97344560Literally none of those games are compatible nor slice of life, and neither is Scott Pilgrim.>>97346470Slugblaster isn't remotely analogous to Scott Pilgrim, either.
>>97344560You'll have to be more specific about what you like about all those things.You can run SoL in almost any light universal system, FU, Fate, MiniSix, Risus, GURPS...You could probably run Cozy Mork Borg if you felt like it.
>>97344560Just use OVA.

>>97332330We need more context for this anon. Have you played anything other than D&D before? Are your players familiar with the kind of game Daggerheart is? Are you using the starter adventure?
>>97343590It's more like>You picked a winged species>But someone else used the card that lets their character lift another character with them while flying>So your character with giant wings can't ever use those wings to pick someone upAnd then there's the "Hope" metacurrency which is needed to use many abilities, but is only gained through random chance. What the fuck is "Hope" in the context of the game's fiction? It's nothing. It's just an arbitrary restriction to make the game more "cinematic" while actually being way more game-y and asinine about what characters can do during play. Oh, and the initiative system is just Calvinball. Do whatever you want as often as you want. Who cares if the enemies never get a turn?

>>97344408Wikipedia will get you participants. As for heraldry, it isn’t that common before the 13th C and even then, we rarely know the arms even for big names. There are usually fictive arms for the earlier period made up in the later middle ages, if you aren’t asspained to the Nth degree about historical accuracy.There is the additional difficulty in that the eastern mediterranean societies the Latins found themselves in did not themselves use arms as in the west, even much later than this - this may have meant that local Latin settlers felt little pressure to take arms as it was not the local ‘fashion’. Sorry it’s a ballache, but I hope it helps. I think it means that you can actually be quite free in your painting without being implausible or even inaccurate.

At what age do magic users start training in your setting?
Depends. Wizards ideally start as soon as the kid has learned to read and write, while shamans and the like either follow whatever local tradition they might have, or get snatched by fairies and come back as raving magic lunatics two hundred years later. Priests begin training whenever, it doesnt really matter; if you can get a god to think you're his nigga, you get magic powers.
Holy fuck, this looks like SHIT
>>97345546That's likely puckee, he's samefagged before.>>97345073Puckee is a known redditor who has spammed his commissions for 4-5 years as the other anon has pointed out, his threads are all low quality with vague questions just to so he can post his commissions. At one point, he had at least 3 threads up at all times and posted his commissions weekly in various threads. See his "lich" commission he spammed throughout late 2021 to 2022 throughout that year almost weekly.https://archive.4plebs.org/_/search/image/0uAsjic8baHEf61Jm2Wu6Q%3D%3D/page/4/He has also spammed his commissions on other threads like the draw thread, trying to pass his paid commissions as fills.https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/92628290/#92687500Anons picked up on his spam in 2022 and he has also infested the character art threads since then, posting at least a few of his commissions in every thread.https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/84892301/#84901094

>>97346924If you saw a midge walking around with a dog skull as a yarmulke, would you say anything? Why should anyone care?
>>97346924Why would anyone waste time asking some random jagoff sellsword why he wears something ridiculous? The answer is obvious, "so he'll look more impressive and memorable to potential employers".
>>97345937atleast with online random play I have 4 different games to choose from so atleast one works out
>>97346217The problem with this argument is that 5E is a lot closer to a simplified 3.X than it is to 4E.
>>97346892>"here's your state mandated story arc where everything is about you and based on your backstory"I think the issue would be if a DM did the entire arc all at once rather than do a small piece on occasion to mix characters' special moments with what's going on with the campaign.
I have a bit of an inane question for the peanut gallery. Do you have a favorite thing that you'd never actually play/play as?For example, I just realized that I really fucking love the Samedi/Cappadocian clan/bloodline of Vampire: The Masquerade.But I don't think I'd ever consider playing one, and I'd likely opt to play a Malkavian instead under virtually all circumstances, or a Tremere. Samedi doesn't even register on the list of characters I'd like to play, even when I do have concepts I'd include if I were the ST/GM.
probably the Upper Hand from Jade Empire for the Xbox.
>>97343390A dhampir. I think they're cool thanks to D and Alucard but I'd never consider playing one in a game.
>>97343390An AD&D 2e Paladin. Even if I didn't end up at a table with a DM trying to make me fall, I think I'd end up doing it myself. I'm too rash and impulsive for the class, I think, to live up to the morality required of it.
Over Christmas at about 3am I suddenly had the coolest concept for a cleric of loviatar who I now desperately want to play, but I'm pretty sure any campaign would drop me the moment I said "cleric of loviatar."Just let me be a little edgelord as a treat
>>97343390I like the carefree brutes that just bulldoze through their problems willy-nilly. I never play one, because everything I'd want to demolish is either far out of my character's league or would create 10x more problems for the party than it would solve.
