How do you justify a "pest race" like goblins or rat people in your setting? Why wouldn't the dominant species make a concentrated effort to eradicate them if they were a problem?
>>97213989Are we talking r-selection races or just "living in sewers" species?
>>97214005>Be me >Shitty but loyal knight or Bumfuckland>King recognizes my shitty but loaylness>King gets devilish idea>Gifts me land on the edge of Bumfuckland that just so happens to be bordered with Shitstainia>King fucking hates shitstainia so he also adds in a bonus gift>A carriage with 4-5 prime breeding age goblinsLong live the king
>>97213989Consider that rats still exist
>>97213989They live in hard-to-reach tunnels and mostly bother peasants in remote settlements, so they're just not worth it was far as anyone in power is concerned.
>>97214480In my headcanon they ARE more than a nuisance -quite a monetary loss, at the very least. but the problem is that the land isn't generally as densely poulated (by the good races) to say that a concerned effort can really eradicate them in most cases. Sure, they do cull their numbers, but there's always more.You end up with rough cycles of goblin explosions and relatively goblin-free years.
Alright, if NOT 5e, what should be babby's first tabletop in 2025+1?
>>97212808>while the OSR has been on a downward spiral since its inception.Lol Lmao even
>>97206152>easy to understandPlay with a table of newer zoomers and you'll find it's not remotely simple. Dungeon World or Shadowdark/OSR in general, much different story
>>97206152>Rules should be like 5% of the experience.Should? Have you played 5e? Most of the time is spent interacting with the rules. >DM describes literally anything>"uh, I roll for perception" >"do I add my proficiency bonus to that?"Combat is incredibly slow compared to Basic D&D. Most of the time players are waiting for their turn. Exhilarating. PC generation takes up so much time people expect not to actually play the game on "session zero" I've had complete a tabletop noob arrive at my B/X table and he was rolled up and ready to play by the time another player finished their cigarette.
>>97206152>D&D is easy to understandDo you have about 90 minutes to cover the mechanics?No?Tough luck>Rules should be like 5% of the experience.Weird, I thought you said you want to play D&D, and not just improvised pretend.
>>97205950>The idea of beginner ttrpgs does more harm than goodt. harmed when entering the hobby> and whatever gameplay elements tickle your fancy then choose based on those.Yeah, I can totally see how newfags are going to make that choice, especially in an informative way. Gee, I guess it must be totally disconnected with the fact WotC is spending on marketing of D&D more than rest of the companies that arent GW are worth.
This is a second OSRG, seperate from the main osrg thread, where you CAN talk about 2e, retroclones, and any osr content you want.This is different than the regular osrg as due to rampant trolling from a handful of bad actors, discussion is impossible.
>>97214408>As a former 3etard myself I have to say this is spot on, I loved fiddling with all those systems until I got put off by gradually realizing how fundamentally busted they were (as your example illustrates).Man I know that feeling. The sheer amount of 3rd party content for 3.5 always tempts me whenever I remember it.But then you remember how it actually plays and 'I can make a blood druid who engages in animal sacrifice for benefits' doesn't seem so tempting any more.
>>97214408I liked 2e's approach. It was vague and largely just gave some modest inspiration on what the process could be like, but what really helped out was the Magic Item Compendiums. Rather than strict rules that were just begging to be broken, you had tens of thousands of examples to use as an inspiration and to give approximations of value.It's not the best approach, but for a mass-market type game, it does a fairly good job and it's not too dissimilar to how D&D designers were encouraged to design in the first place. Everything from spells to monsters to magic items has various "benchmark" examples, and anything custom designed would be evaluated in comparison to those benchmarks. 2e just gave a lot of fucking benchmarks.

Why do lawful "good" players get upset when you remind them that all demons are objectively evil, and therefore must be purged?
>>97214217What system/game?And no, this isn't tired copypasta, it's a legit question. Some games feature demons that you can reason with and leave in a peaceful society alongside while others don't, the context matters.
>>97214217Why does OP have to be a stupid lying faggot every fucking time?
>>97214217That's clearly not a demon, though.

what's the consensus on hard endgame conditions (like Mork Borg's Calendar of Nechrubel)?curious if you prefer the impending doom mechanics that mechanically force the campaign to a close, or if you find them too restrictive for long term play. does having a literal countdown to the apocalypse enhance the tension, or does it just turn the game into a sprint that kills the sandbox feel?post favorite "the end is nigh" mechanics or tell me why they're a gimmick
>>97207046I think it's an alright concept in theory to have strong impending doom as part of the game world but a shitty execution to have it be inevitable in a gameplay style that is designed to facilitate living worlds and player agency. It's like they wanted to outdo Death Frost Doom but never actually played anything to completion.
>>97185621>>97187396That's because Troika is like half a napkin doodle for a surreal world wrapped around a bunch of torn up wacky OSR ideas that were haphazardly taped back together into a "game". Even if you wanted to do the rest of the work that the designer refused to do before selling his stale turd of a game, what you actually get from the material in there is just incoherent bullshit.
>>97213637Real. I don't think I've ever even seen a Troika play report, let alone one that's from an ongoing campaign.
Cyberdark looks cool as fuck, what I’ve seen of it and read through of it, and even the little demo the put out, very cool.However, this RPG company has almost no track record. What they have made looks like trash lmao.I’m conflicted.

>>97188452To continue more Lazlo fluffing:>Bone Brothers (or The Boners)A biker gang that rides around Lazlo and its satellite communities. Too soft to do the Coalition Goosestep, too hard to so the Lazlo trot, the Bone brothers dont quite fit in. They take up riding in packs on whatever assorted vehicles they can manage to afford or repair favoring motorcycles which they see as an extension of personal independance. They keep a loose military structure in terms of hierarchy, although they make a distinction between their rank in the CS and their rank in the gang.They are to be summed up, riotous oafs. Communities are leary when they here the parade of their bikes and most will decide to close shop early as they come to town. On a good day, they will ride up to the local bar, eat and drink anything not nailed down, and then roll away leaving a mess behind. At worst they are a gang pushing a drunken version of Coalition Law and killing anyone protesting. They argue that crimes committed by members are the fault of the individuals and that the Boners are not responsible, others argue that they are not-so-secret insurgents trying to weaken Lazlo for an invasion. The Brothers are given more slack from authorities under the premise that they are just adjusting to this new life, and roving bands of fighting men does suppress random banditry.What they don't know is that both opinions are true. The Boners are in the middle of a power struggle between the current leader, Bobby Robinson, and his honor guard and a fiery new comer, Ronnie Bibbles. Bobby wants the gang to be an outlet for motor heads and treating soldiers who were made to do bad things. Ronnie is a secret CS spy and wants to take over the brotherhood and create a crime cartel focusing on drug trafficking and political terrorism.
>>97206912>boner used to mean 'a mistake'>now it means 'an erection'>in 109 PA...?We had a vampire biker gang in our game.
>>97208087That is very metal. I'm stealing that.
>>97182572I love my Alaskan, racist, cannibal snake wife!
>>97206912To finishBone Brothers are equipped with personal vehicles as it is a note that to be a member you must have a personal vehicle. Motorcycles are preferred. Members wear common light or medium MDC armor with their gang colors or important emblems glued on their backs. They do however stay well armed with over 50% still owning CS rifles they defected with. It is rumored that they have a dug out headquarters where a skull walker or DH transport is being repaired.If you encounter the Brothers on the road it is important to keep your cool. Both Bobby and Ronnie followers are easily provoked to violence but only the Bobby faction who are ardent about not killing civilians. Ronnie faction members are encouraged to lie and present as well meaning until they strike, however, this order is often ignored as gangs prefer to charge in leveling laser fire before they know what's happening.I have been trying to post on this board for DAYS and the new captcha keeps bugging out on me. Are you guys having problems with it?
I'm having a happy 12/12 day. Time to play real MtG(tm). Cheers to happy memories and forgetting the state of current Mtg for a while.
>>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
