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?

>>97256247use a paper and pencil to prep your games like the lord intended
>>97256278The lord intended us to make and use tools as we see fit. Pregenerating characters and putting them on character sheets or printing them out so players can have them to keep is zoz.
>>97256278I like using generators to whip up quick NPCs when the players encounter a wandering party or what have you. Beyond that, rolling characters is fast and fun. I sometimes fill out character sheets to stick in my portable books just for lulz.
>>97255836>>97255843It was written for two sessions. The groups who did best in the upper caves were allowed to go on to the second round in the lower caves (if I recall the division correctly).
>>97256233>>97256247Thanks, probably will go with appendix P and roll up some guys. Rather do that and fill out some character sheets myself.

>>97255606Red deck wins is easier to play
lands lead to mana and mana leads to spells, you'd have to be retarded to let your opponent's lands resolve
>>97255606>>He plays a forest>>Enables multiple dangerous future board states, counter itIt's stupid, but this made me giggle.
>>97255606I've always found it mystifying that commander players talk about the game this way.
thread's a dud, only mtg players will even bother trying to parse this spam thread.make something else so you can generate fake engagement like usual.
How is it? Looks bretty fun
>>97253875Most of my bits are 40K castoffs, window-screen patches for mesh, and chopped up sprues, backpacks and so-forth. >>97250047 specifically was a tank model I bought from a hobby store and just...half-built before slapping the car on top of it. So the main gun and the top gun are from the kit, as well as the treads and some armor plating and of course the pilots.
>>97247524Loads of fun.
>>97247524It’s a fuckin blast, love playing this shit with the lads. Before this game we were strictly into Gloomhaven, House on the Hill, or D&D. Now Gaslands has totally taken over the rotation. Gripping a random Hotwheels for $1 and totally destroying it for one night of dice rolling fun with the boys is shockingly satisfying. I don’t even paint my cars, I just kick em around the Meijer parking lot and call em ready. But my buddy is a massive talent with these, pic related, it’s Piss Drinker Pete’s war rig (we have a whole story campaign going on now)

Does Slime combo out as easily as it looks? 2 performance cars loaded up for it (fenderkiss, rear drive, side rams) can bounce off each other quite a few times. Not infinite, but you'll go further than anybody else can, even with shenanigans

Energy was one of the most hated Magic mechanics ever because it's just uninteractable goodstuff stapled onto cards. Why'd they just bring it back? How can this not be seen as a clear insult?
>>97256972Because we need to energize our shields or else the Borg Cube will blow right through us.
>>97256972>goodstuff stapled onto cardsI don't think you understand what these words mean
>>97256972Energy cards are the OPPOSITE of goodstuff you retard. That's the problem with them. Goodstuff means "generically good" like cards with draw or ramp stapled onto them. Energy meanwhile gives you counters that do literally nothing unless you use other energy cards. It's a mechanic that's too synergy-focused, which is the opposite of what goodstuff means.

On the spectrum of rubber forehead aliens to complete starfish aliens that are made out of silica and breathe methane, where are YOU specificially comfortable with. Does there come a point where an alien becomes too weird for you to "relate" to in order to include them in your games as playable races?Personally I am fond of aliens that look plausibly like they could have evolved in a different world and have no distinguishable lineage to earth life, even if they share some superficial features.
>>97253201Runaway to the Stars' Scuds are amusing as a marine biotech civ who discovered microbiology before sex. Consent if relevant may be more like farmers' interminable disputes over boundary stones.>>97255518Transhuman diaspora is definitely the best take on SW/Trek rubber foreheads imo if you're too autistic to stomach it otherwise. It's nice when baselines from completely distinct evolutionary histories bump into each other and find they have more in common than ever more derived "cousins" (To'ul'h = best bros).
Thoughts on the humanity lost aliens?
You're all a bunch of autists overthinking it.Is it cool?If yes, its good.If no, its bad.
>>97240164In my settings, all Oxygen breathing life forms are related, having been seeded by an Overgod figure. She also left behind spiritual organisms as well, which would evolve into Gods. Based upon whatever pattern they take, life begins to evolve destined to one day reach that pattern during ages of Sapience.So all the worlds with life + oxygen atmospheres share a great deal in common. Several races are bipedal and humanoid, with limbs, eyes and mouths where you would expect them to be on a human. Their DNA would line up with life on Earth. There are monstrous races as well, but you can see parallels with Earth life in their design, however gruesome or cool that might be.Being able to fuck an alien is an integral part of science fiction, from its very beginnings. It has always been with us, and it always will. A setting should always have at least one alien race that is sexually desirable. Sci-fi that deliberately tries to completely exclude fuckability is poor, tryhard, no-fun-allowed, and reminds me of the Virgin vs. Chad meme, where the Chad is having a blast creating hot aliens, and the Virgin is researching Tardigrades and Stygiomedusa.

Anyone have a barbamon decklist? I've been seeing them lately in DCGO and it's fucking annoying having no hand, so I want to do it to others.
What deckboxes do you like to use?
Close and Zephagamon
>>97250906Ygo is way more popularAnd DCGO is actually supposed to be a closed prokect with only a few people working on it. They cannot make it open source because of legal shit

You should ALWAYS cheese every encounter. If you EVER end up in a situation that even remotely resembles a fair fight, just run away and wait until you can rig the situation to your favor. Use your fucking brain. Even if it is highly improbable for you to lose a given fight, statistically speaking, you'll still eventually croak if you keep taking those bets. Don't leave it up to chance. It's easier than you might think, you just need to use your noggin. It's not a video game. You can do whatever the fuck you want.Just the other night my party ran into a melee monster in a narrow ass room that they for some reason decided to ram their dicks into until someone died. When I suggested that we retreat for a bit and lure it into the room with the big ass statues so we can all just climb them and shoot it to death, they looked at me like I just escaped from the looney bin. They all died of course.
>>97250948>run away>the village, quest giver, or artifact you were trying to protect gets destroyed, killed, or stolen>the party now has nowhere to rest, no one to guide them, or an enemy who is now more powerful than can possibly ever be imaginedThis guy >>97251040 gets it.
