>>97201288>They don't fold to the first interaction, or the second, or the third, and if you aren't applying pressure they will draw and combo out over the top of whatever interaction you're runningAh yes. Just put pre... Oh is that one of their several cards that negate any of your pressure?>The Enchantress and Replenish win rates would go downI doubt it. Replenish tends to run 3-4 swords and 3-4 mana leaks in addition to the four waves. It can delay quite well. Even a delay for one turn can win them the game. Replenish actually loses a lot to psychatog of all decks because tog runs 8-12 counterspells and 4 duress. The "fair aggro" decks are also outpaced already by goblins and stiflenought. Nought just beats through them and goblins can often get turn 4 wins with turn 2 siege gangs. Four swords in the deck on draw is a better chance to stop goblins from snowballing than goblins have to snow ball. All the deck then has to do is fish out the combo and win. It will turn out the same way against other "fair aggro" decks. Enchantress likewise does well against goblins because it can just pop enchantments that say "you can't attack" into play and then leverage the swords and waves they put into the deck to delay until now they have the combo. Have to draw the naturalizes to stop them from stopping you from doing anything. The only hard aggro match up here is elves since they can run naturalize and tranquil domain. Those are already two of the strongest aggro decks in the format. If they can have a hard time against replenish and enchantress how do you think the weaker fair creature decks will do? They'll have a much harder time. If your solution is to put more pressure on their combos that can be gotten out as early as turn four and then suggest that the fair creature decks which often can't put as much pressure as goblins or elves do, you're out of your mind.
>>97206246You're losing to Swords because you aren't flooding the board with early attackers. 4 Swords in the deck they still are less likely to draw 1 single Swords than not. If they remove early creatures they're asking to get rolled by larger creatures, and if they save the Swords you continue to pressure themYou're losing to 4 mana Parallax enchantments and Replenish because you aren't running mana denial. Rishadan Port and Wasteland have 0 mentions in this thread but are the format defining cards for aggressive decks. These cards are insanely good and they only take land slots. Aggro decks win their matches against Replenish and Enchantress by playing out creatures followed by attacking the mana base to delay them from resolving critical spells.Elves is not advantage over Goblins in the match up because of Tranquil Domain, which Goblins can and does run (so does literally every green deck). The difference is Tangle Wire, which denies mana and plays while allowing the Elves player more time to set up their board and get damage in. Some builds of Replenish try to play around this with Frantic Search.Fair creature decks do quite well against Enchantress and Replenish because they put a clock on the other deck in order to prove the win or lock out, and are able to run mana disruption or removal to slow them down enough. This is what Terrageddon does after sideboarding, it takes out Oath and instead tries to flood the board with Treetop Villages, Meddling Mage, and elephant tokens while also disrupting mana.Welcome to Premodern noob, now silence your dogshit opinions until you play for longer

>>97213247OK so I did remember right that there was an option, 2ed datafax says there's not so I thought I was mistaken.
These rat ogre sculpts are really awesome. Heads and left arms are interchangeable with bodies.Looks like they had a rather short shelf life (?) since GW introduced the multipart plastic kit quite soon after these. I'm in a minority but I don't dislike those 6th edition plastics either. I prefer them over newer plastics, as well as the bald 4th edition metal ones.

As a ST would you allow your changeling player (technically me) to pick some merit(s) from Mage the Ascension?I’m considering Immunity at 4: A major threat (disease, hunger, supernatural evil gook) or a moderately rare threat (poisons, extreme heat or cold, raw magic Levin bolts, death spells.).In this case it would be banality. Or the effects the Mists has on the changeling. I would also consider the two points version to grant an immunity to Bedlam.Also Long-Lived/Unaging.
>>97212420>Are there any splats in wog similar to Bastet/Kitsune in the sense that it can use a ton of powers from other splats by default?The closest thing I can recall is the Revenant Family that gets shadowlord gifts.
>>97213500>It would be Banality or the MistsI think this is probably too much for the Merit. It would be like making a Mage completely immune to Paradox as a setting equivalent. No ST would allow that because when you're just playing a superhero with no downside and no story threats to prevent you from going something like>I walk into the office building, I chat with him about the economy, and then I make him schizo out and imagine the economy runs on Bananas and KiwisWith 0 consequences

>>97196508Requesting Grim Hollow Monster Grimoire Transformed
I've been on a space kick recently and want to run a sci-fi space campaign as the GM. What are the best systems for a flexible gaming experience without the autistic complexity of something like Shadowrun? I'm looking for a system that can run "magic" (Psionics, occultists, dark gods, etc) and high-tech weaponry and ships and stuff as well as madness mechanics mutations, cybernetics, horror elements, etc. Visiting weird planets, dealing with intergalactic politics, smuggling goods, assassinations, dealing with alien cultures, learning dangerous magic and technology, etc. I also want the players help make the setting so I'd prefer a flexible system that can handle a multitude of scenarios with cool aliens and stuff. I've heard of Traveler, Starfinder, etc, I just wanna know what system(s) I should focus on learning about first. I'd rather not run it in a Star Wars DnD conversion or Feelings and Lasers. This crowd usually plays DnD or very simple games but are open to other games too. Again I've tried Shadowrun and I'd rather a system that isn't over-complicated and just has the hacking take up 90% of the screentime.
>>97198206Thanks for ideas of mechanics I can add to my game.
>>97198206Very nice OPYou fished me right inI haven't played anything in a long time but can try to track something down for you I remember seeing a few things that could vaguely fit your description
>>97212786Wow okay I found one pretty quick actually ever heard of Stars Without Number?
>>97212838Oops didn't control fDerp, that has indeed already been mentionedUh Savage Worlds maybe could perhaps fit looks solidGonna go wake up a bit then gather art need more Dai, I'll be lurking
This isn't exactly what OP is asking for but base Classic Traveller is super simple mechanically and will handle any scifi level from "present day, present time" up to the level of a few dozen habitable systems spread over a few hundred parsecs.

>>97213488I liked the Festus one. But yeah, something with a bit more crunch to it would have been preferable.
>>97213423Nurglings were cool
>>97213488>>97213497One fun thing they could have done would be to roll out some rules themed on the "Everdusk" season. Maybe some special battleplan or terrain rules, maybe some thematic spells, prayers or artefacts like those found in the Path to Glory books. They used to do this in 3e with the Gallet & Andtor content. It could have been a fun little thing that wouldn't necessarily require much effort on their part.
I don't care that Xandire was killed killed. Like, sure she was a named stormcaster that was in Underworlds and Warcry but to be truth: I didn't care about her and I don't think she needed more reprints of her unit.There are so many cool underworlds bands that need reprint and new rules, like for exemple: Magore's Fiends, The Chosen Axes, Morgwaeth's Blade-coven, Godsworn Hunt, Grashrak's Despoilers, Hedkrakka's Madmob... BTW did we ever had AoS rules for Storm of Celestus?

>>97212407Most of the mass collateral damage will be from the wizard side. Their powers are naturally more destructive and it'll be much easier to paint them as the enemies of humanity. What can Telekinesis psychics do? Throw cars. Crush buildings. That's pretty damn strong but it can be passed off as terrorism with planted explosives from Conjuration wizards. Using telekinesis is less "showy" than an Elemental wizard spamming fireballs, lightning bolts, or firestorms to completely level a city in a casual battle. In comparison the psychics can easily be passed off as mutants or a natural evolution to humanity. Insert propaganda about how the psychics are human test subjects who are fighting for humanity against the wizard invaders who are siding with alien species like orcs, goblins, etc. while the wizardfags are burning down schools and hospitals.My point is that the optics will always favor psychics while the wizardfags will always look like terrorists. The worst you get from Telekinesis psychics is crushing a building but all you need to do is mind control the media and reporters into saying the Conjuration wizards summoned C4 and blew up the building from the inside out. If we compare fuck-ups, for every 4 or 5 fuck-ups the psychics have with mass collateral damage, there'll be basically 10000+ fuck-ups from the wizard side who are walking disasters and PR nightmares. They're totally fucked and it'll be child's play to manipulate this information. Basic statistics and common sense will prove psychics are less destructive to human society and infrastructure.

>>97213469WMDs are more likely to be used by psychics because the wizards have no real way to use their IQ to utilize them, and the psychics will be controlling most governments with the mind control and precognition combo. So wizardfags nuking entire countries would just hasten their own downfall even assuming they could build it (they can't, as they'll still be retards). There's also no need for psychics to be gathered in a single location unlike wizardfags so what target is there to nuke? Washington DC? The capitol of France? By the way, I didn't even mention this, but the language barrier is a real issue and PsyCHADs can effortlessly learn languages to unify themselves while the Divination wizards have no real way to easily transcend the language barrier. Hahaha, it keeps getting worse and worse for the wizardfags.Either way, the psychics would prefer precision so it's unnecessary to use WMDs. The only case I can see the psychics using WMDs would be nuking a nation-state that the wizardfags would have to conquer and take over (i.e. the pajeet wizards taking over and 'liberating' india in my earlier example), and the rest of the world would worship the psychics for taking out the jeets if they did. But in reality they'll use strike squads and human fodder to assault and drone strike the wizardfags to death while a battle or probability psychic with a coffee in one hand casually snipes the wizardfag. They're fucked.>couldnt you also make something to prevent a psychic from brainwashing youBrainwashing is stated to be difficult on wizards, so it'd only be done after the wizards get captured, in which case any item could be removed. But no, the CYOA as written says conjurationfags can make 'weapons, tools, and everyday household items.' Nothing written here indicates supernatural items. They can summon lemon cleaner, bleach, rifles, rockets, grenades. That's it. With what intelligence will they make psychic resistant gear when they get no INT increases? lol gg

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?

>>97211411Not huge on the spells to be honest, I don't like partial casting (or indeed, a general proliferation of caster classes). Laying on hands seems like a wonky af ability for Bilbo too.Most of the other stuff looks okay but I'm not sure I'd prefer it over the existing Halfling personally.
>>97212767I would rule it as >>97212834 says or as adult male workers. Generally speaking when the DMG does stuff like calculate taxes based on only some of the peasants it's really just because Gygax wanted to keep players from getting too much money for some reason. Training costs, upkeep, sages costing a small nation to consult, all unnecessary except that Gygax wants to bleed the PCs. I assume this is based on some experience from his home game, but I never had that particular problem, so, shrug.That said, I may be unduly influenced by the Wilderlands about the peasants, where Bledsaw is consistent that all population figures are productive male workers and they represent some fixed percentage of the actual population (20% IIRC, but I'd have to check).
>>97213171>20% IIRC, but I'd have to checkIf that's the figure that's interesting because it would make them equal to ACKS families
>>97213153Lay on hands might not be very Bilbo, but metaphorical it is very Samwise. He carried Frodo figuratively and sometimes literally through Mordor.

It's such an obvious idea. Where are they?
>>97212479yes they are and nothing changed despite grifters trying to create some other controversy out of nothing
>>97211911because GW realized it would cause to much of an uproar to give other factions space marines beyond the Imperium and Chaos, that being said Tau could probably do their own version of space marines for regular humans
>Where are they?up ur butt dumbo
>>97212479>Eldar aren't post-scarcity anymore, actually.Technically they still are, especially the Commorites, but the Exodites actively reject it and Craftworlders practically don't have the means to reproduce their post-scarcity society, without resorting to the same shit Commorites do (which they don't want to do morally/ethically), due to the fact how post-Slaanesh the natural way to procreate for eldar is severely restricted due to the inherent dangers involved, and they are already an extremely slowly reproducing species to begin with, so they lack manpower to actually expand their craftworlds.
>>97211911even if the earth caste could make a suit of similar nature for their human subjects, most orthodox tau and especially ethereals would not trust them with it. you'd need an offshoot willing and able to take radical action like the farsight enclaves or the 4th sphere colonies to do that
