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?

>>97206024Thank you OP! Long live /osrg/!>>97206052You write something up! If it's good it'll be included, but I wouldn't go above one paragraph, unless we decide to add a whole new chapter, in which case we might do one paragraph per classic setting: Blackmoor, Outdoor Survival, Greyhawk, Wilderlands, and the Known World (NOT Mystarda).>>97206084>one concern that was raised is they have too much gold!No such thing. This is a player skill problem. But it comes up so often we might add a section on this as well in the n00b guides.
>>97206024>How do you track and generally handle regional or world-shaking events I don't, unless they're precipitated by player actions.>how are you making your campaign world feel alive at the larger scales Frankly, I don't think world-shaking events are necessary to make the setting feel alive.The very idea that world-shaking events are needed is from literature and from storyfaggot settings that are just bad literature. D&D doesn't need any of that: It feels alive for the simple fact that players can do shit in it, and the world reacts to it.
>>97206488>100 g.p. per level per weekIsn't it 100 gp per level per MONTH in the DMG?

>>97204773I stopped caring about his games from On Mars onward. I thought some of his games were ok, good production and theming but overall the games didn't feel that different or unique from other games, gameplay wise. Gallerist would probably be my favorite of the ones I played. With his new games there is nothing exciting, at least it's not marketed as such. There's no new mechanism, new ideas he wants to explore and gamble on.

>>97206810It seems like something from a Marvel movie. It could be fun.
>>97206810Sure, it is entirely canon that you can do all of that, including the latter half. See image.If I was them, I would get the Mirror World Patrol of a stronger Technocracy to clean up the mess in the main world.
>>97206810Your interest is clearly based in mage shit, so why bother including the other splats at all? You're massively increasing your workload by factoring them in at all, so just cut out the vampires and everything else so you don't need to worry about Noddist shit or Triat shit or whatever.
>>97206810>>97207234Or go all in on it like 1st and 2nd Edition. Use the fact that The Void Engineers have the one half of the First Focus used by Caine.
Previously: https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/96936967/When last we met, we made G.E.T.S. (Generally Entertaining Team-built System). Thus far, it seems to be a fairly minimalist system.Now, we shall make our first setting for this system.If your proposed idea gets doubles, it is canonized. Any canon characters, worldbuilding, themes, et cetera can be modified (but not outright contradicted or discarded) by triples, quadruples, et cetera.Let us continue.
The entire setting is actually in a dream, yet the events still affect the living world.

Welcome to /wbg/, the thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.Here is where you go to present and develop the details of your worlds such as lore, factions, magic and ecosystems. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art. Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback or post whatever relevant input you might have, cunt!Last thread: >>96999149Worldbuilding links: Post someFantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator
>>97171614I haven't figured out the name, but there's a, "secret society," named something like, "The Stonesmiths". An immense amount of rich and influential people belong to it, and it's fairly well known to the public. There are constant, never-ending conspiracy theories generated about it.In truth, it's mostly a drinking club with obscure hazing rituals that are an excuse to drink more. Some shady business deals and political bargains are made in it, but not much else. Maybe there is a true kernel of diehard weird occult dudes at the heart of it, but nobody in the organization cares about them.I don't really like the idea of a single hidden conspiracy group being responsible for a bunch of bad things. Despite what /pol/ tells you, that's not how it works.To me, it's more satisfying if the collapse of the global magical teleportation network was NOT caused by some dudes in robes and masks ushering in the apocalypse, but instead a society becoming complacent, cutting funding for maintenance, repairs, and research, and making short term gains and profits a priority.You know, human nature and stuff.
>>97165346I am working on a ttrpg setting that is very inspired by Greek mythology and I am looking for a good name for a dragon humanoid race. I've been using "Ophoio" as their term for now, but I want to change it to something else. I'm thinking of something to do with the legend of Cadmus and sowing the dragon's teeth, like calling them Kadameans or Draksperi. Do either of those two sound good, or do any of you have better ideas? I'm totally open to sharing more info about the race to help.

Hey /tg/ I'm playtesting an initiative system that's been tried before in other systems and is detailed nicely on "Tabletop Curiosity Cabinet"The system uses Meyer (and Kieth Farrell's modern adaptation) of "Vor, Nach, Gleich, Indes" as steps in a fight.Basically, the player with the initiative chooses an action ("Vor"). The enemy chooses a reponse ("Nach"). The dice are rolled to determine an outcome ("Gleich") and the movement into the next state ("Indes").Practically it looks like: Player A chooses a bind. Player B chooses to parry. Both players resolve a dice roll. The resolution will determine who has initiative for the next system.Very fencing-like, and makes initiative more of a "push-pull" based on success rather than a "you-go, I-go" traditional style.I believe systems like TRoS and their derivatives (like Song of Swords) use a similar sort of initiative style.My questions for the thread:1. While this system works pretty well for individual combats, it struggles when there are multiple combatants. It also falls into the same trap of "you go, I go" which is; in a real fight, you're probably waiting for an opening (e.g. an enemy attacking an ally) to take advantage of in order to strike. I wonder if anyone has creative solutions to this problem?2. Are there initiative systems that you find work well? Anyone forego initiative entirely in favor of fully narrative initiative (e.g. Daggerheart)?
>>97198508Sounds a whole lot like real life. Which is why getting outnumbered in a fight is suicide unless you can somehow quickly even the odds.>>97198618The former. The player A with the initiative chooses an action (usually, to Strike), player B chooses the reaction (to Parry, or force a bind, block, or dodge). The resolution determines whether player A or B succeeds. If player B succeeds by enough, they capture the initiative. and it bounces back.I do like the idea that if player B is successful that it basically enables player B's team to choose either themselves or an ally who hasn't acted this turn to act. Reactions are always possible, but at a disadvantage the more often you need to react (for obvious reason).>>97198818I think you're right. I do think making initiative side base and swap AFTER the resolution of a roll will significantly speed up things.Team A,B,C is against Team X, Y, ZTeam A attacks X. X parries successfully, gaining initiative.Y attacks A who now parries at a disadvantage (they just attacked). Y successfully strikes, maintaining side initiative.Comment too long.

>>97198928Is that so?It was always my understanding that the resolutions of narrative systems were up to the whims of their storytellers to favor their story, while games tend to be structured and consistent so as to challenge the skill and luck of the players in a fair and impartial manner, regardless of how it might affect the participants' opinions of some ephemeral "story".Seems like these two things are in diametric opposition, unless I'm mistaken.
>>97199716>So less "I roll to hit" and more "I roll to see what happens"Yeah, that's what I figured.So narrative systems that favor a storyteller's bias definitely preclude a game from being balanced, given that the structure of any sort of "game" can just be blithely ignored.
>>97202669Your understanding is that of a sea cucumber. Most "narrative" games use dice systems indistinguishable from gamist CRMs to all but the biggest rpg design autists. FATE, Genesys, fucking PbtA.. You need to look at outliers like Amber or Microscope for shit that isn't basically the same fucking thing but applied in a slightly different way.How about you actually play a game or two before criticizing them? I recommend Sentinels of the Multiverse, it's got good crunch for a narrative game.
>>97202682That's just completely retarded. Talk about a non-seqitur.
