What's the most exotic location the players have traveled to in your game?
Detroit, Michigan
>puckee thread
hotel with a pool on the roof
That depends on if a place that doesn't exist counts as infinitely distant or non-distant due to the fact that it is inaccessible.If it is infinitely distant, then every location in all my games is infinitely exotic. If they are non-distant, they aren't exotic at all.

Weird how many people come into the battletech general to complain about battletech.
>>97196264Imagine the Holy Roman Empire but even more dysfunctional
>>97196393Nigga it's a retrofuturistic anime-inspired game where people go to war wearing nothing but a bra and panties, I don't think military discipline is all that much of a concern.
>>97196340Guess at least they're not Welsh?
>>97196340Hillbillies are Apalachian hill folk. FASA was midwest.
Are there any mech games where the mechs are a sideshow to other vehicles? I like the idea of blowing up mechs with superior conventional vehicles but basically every mech setting ever made exists to justify the opposite of that happening.
>>97181850I'm not even joking, but Star Fox. You use a Fighter to blow up Mechs and other crazy machines.
>>97195369It transforms into a tank, making it a mech.
>Kills your tank and your mech.
>>97181850Heavy Gear is like that. Yes, the focus is still on mechs but tanks and helicopters are king of the battlefield. Think of Gears (mechs) as replacement for infantry.
>>97181850You have an autistic hateboner for mecha. As so you should either make your own system, or better yet-hang yourself.

>>97195409Bard is a leader who used their voice and song to support their allies. They can even wear some armor and use weapons.Fuck off with this dumbass “power source” argument and start thinking about how they actually play and exist in the game space
>>97195958Bard doesn't have a good lazylord equivalent, if nothing else.
>>97195248Anon, why are you listening to people who didn't play the game.Next you'll say all the classes play the same.
>>97195958>Warlord>Primary stat is strength>Secondary is INT or chaOkay retard, how do I play an Int warlord? Do I do a wizard multiclass? You are a fucking retard.
>>97195219The internet is a smaller place than some people think. It's funny seeing what they'll try to slip past others.
When did Warhammer go from being a game about making themed armies in cool campaigns into being a sweatlord tournament game where people whine about balance and how your models must be Games Workshop approved with the right weapons and no kitbashing? What even happened to campaign play?
>>97196365They didn’t call some of the older editions herohammer for nothing.
>>97196403Not usually named Heroes or Special Characters like now though. Just that HQ units were powerful.You used to need permission to use named HQs
>>97196184Warhammer has always been capeshit
>>97195868The whole tournament thing and catering to those sweaty waacfags is the worst thing to ever happen to 40K. Its just meta chasing bullshit now.
>>97196418>You used to need permission to use named HQsMaybe in sweaty tourney-like games with randos in GW stores.Among friends, there was no way that after spending money in a mini you weren't going to use it.

>>97196355I can't answer this because it think it's spam.
>>97196422Nta but it always made things easier the longer you stay online, the old version also went from sliding puzzle to just deformed letters to I never had to do more than 1 puzzle with 3 images on PC since it changed, but on phone I need to do the 3 with 5 images each. Also there was a strange transition period when it was just numbers with no distortion. And now it thinks this is spam?Also the error message for getting it wrong still says "mistyped" when there is nothing to type anymore.
>>97196429>>97196355This was for you. Saying V not required is now spam apparently.
>>97195918good, the captcha will filter retards with no pattern recognition
I had an idea for a CYOA antagonist and rival. The main gist is that he is salty that the girl he liked was taken before he could ask her out even though the girl had embryonic feelings for him. He then ends up on the losing side of the conflict that kickstarts the CYOA, nukes a capital, and when he renecounters (You) he is seething.Because he planned on romancing the daughter of the girl he liked as a second shot (the daughter like You) and blames (You), a completely different person and kid for the girl he liked getting stolen, the nuking, and a bunch of other stuff not connected to you at all.

What makes a setting don't feel generic a.k.a. not DnD?
>>97191156Death being permanent and brutal. I shocked an open table I DMed by killing a party member even though I said to bring a backup character. Newer players have likely never had a character death.
>>97196399You are a fucking moron. Read the OP again, but slower this time, until you understand what this thread is about before you regurgitate your teenaged nonsense again.
>>97196414Having a gritty setting not afraid to kill it's main characters is a good example of a non-generic setting tho
>>97196433I don't think you understand what a setting is. Setting is the world that the game takes place in. The land, the history, the religions and cultures and cities and major factions and characters. What you are describing is game tone. Thats a setting agnostic quality. I can make a meatgrinder kill-em-all one shot in literally any setting, from 40k to He-Man. If the most exceptional thing you can say about your "setting" is that you are going to kill off characters, you really do have the most generic setting possible because you couldn't even come up with anything better to talk about.
>>97196479>If the most exceptional thing you can say about your "setting" is that you are going to kill off characters, you really do have the most generic setting possible because you couldn't even come up with anything better to talk about.Well I could've brought up that it takes place in a world inspired by the Bronze Age Collapse but I've found that most players don't care about lore or setting. Tone will stick with them more than setting.
GW kept mentioning space marines or even primarchs coupling with regular human women and it always took me out of it. Like how the fuck? Wouldn't she get ripped in half? But then it dawned on me. They just have tiny penises. Well not by human standards, but relative to body-size. Like think about it, why would you supersize the dick too when there literally do not exist women big enough to handle that size? So the simplest explanation is they just keep the penis size of a regular human.
>>97196204Why are you so offended by the dimensions of a proportionate extremity?
>>97196181>How do they rotate their ankles?The empire will never bend its ankles, we are not xenos.
>>97172457If your faggot ass used even a fraction of the time you spend on thinking about dicks on something else, maybe you would've amounted to something.

Moloch's Fun Park Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.>How do I get started?All the files are free online:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/Comment too long.

>>97191592>>97191592From what I have heard, HoW is the top IS list due to having the best gear options and not losing any of the better units.Let us know!
Anyone got scans from the new art book?
Why the official books are so thin in lore and art?
>>97195717There is only one official book and 50% of it is lore, I don't know how you could expect more.
>>97196351NTA. Its easy to forget that, since its lore that we already know. With some changes. I kind of expected lot of new stuff, which there is in the book, but lot of stuff I've already read.
How would you make them more enticing?
>>97189497Jordan Prentice still gets work but not a lot.
>>97171417So, New Jersey fathers look the same as Eastern European ones?
>>97189497thats fine since he has a short lifespan compared to normal people
>>97183124Even people who are actually disabled and eligible to be receiving pensions would rather pretend to not be disabled.
>>97191676Eastern Europeans have narrower and pointier noses, pointier chins and their eyes look larger and are places closer together. Also paler skin.That guy is of alpine race with roma admixture, looks like a Czech blacksmith.

>>97195518why would a bunch if homeless bounty hunters care about aquilas on their equipment they either looted or bought from some shady dude?
>>97196430Why would they remove it in the first place?I mean unless they are heretics, even the random outlaw would still be an Imperial and have some faith in the Emperor.Since the Imperial Eagle is both an Imperial and Religious symbol it would be strange to remove it.
>>97194863Ivan Ugni if you want high detail, Calaverd Griffon team if you want it simple.

GW posted a FAQ/errata for Underworlds but didn't announce it.https://assets.warhammer-community.com/eng_17-12_whuw_core&key_-rules_update-ulnlmn5pfk-gxepzf8u87.pdf
What is it about? Why is it interesting? Should I care about it?
>>97133885>What is it about?Dungeons and also some dragons >Why is it interesting?It's O.G>Should I care about it?Honestly, if you want to get into an old school setting you should go with Mystara. Whole planet + hollow earth with great maps that is still supported by fans to this day. File sizes too large to post here but check Atlas of Mystara. Old settings like these were just a jumping off point for the DM. Do not try to keep them 100% lore accurate. Get the maps and the general feel then change whatever you want.
>>97188099https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Valley_(California)Valleys can get pretty big.
>>97188051>>97188043I like the idea that the Keep is actually the same one as the one in Mystara, a la the Hodgson story.
>>97183937I'm with you on most of that but inherently evil orcs don't make sense. Either they're humanoids, and thus have free will. Or they aren't.
>>97195370Don't get me started on California! It's not even an island, let alone an enchanted island, let alone the one visited by Esplandian!Seriously though, the Central Valley is between one and two of the Greyhawk map hexes wide. Calling the Sheldomar a valley is like calling France a valley, it makes no sense.
>The Honest Wargamer>actually a wanker (obviously), a serial bully, and a landlordI think it's because most wargamers are quite soft and odd that when you get these kinds of "extroverted" podcast types they really run riot. What a cunt.Is this a problem in your local scene?

>>97196461>>97196467Oh ok cool, thanks anons. I don't pay a lot of attention to these people, and only watch them when they pop up in my Youtube recs doing something especially cringey
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?

>>97196244you're right, i suppose it's backwards. i do that thing where i take the wording of thief abilities literally. when people say thieves start out underpowered...they can climb SHEER surfaces the vast majority of the time, that's absolutely insane on its own.i think of it more in book terms than in movie terms. the visuals/physics/mechanics of it don't matter so much, it's like a legend where the legendary thief Horatio Moneybags IV scaled the Tower of the Giraffe. cool.but something about hobbits...i dunno. just don't like it. odd inclusion.
Hey everyone, finally getting into the OSR and bought those nice looking green cover reprints of 2e PHB, DMG and MM plus the Birthright box. Anything else I need?
>>97196295I too dislike hobbits included as a standard fantasy race. Elves and dwarves find their origin (differing as they do from ol' JRRT) in myth, much like many npc races and monsters. But hobbits feel so signature to LotR that they seem out of place to me. Not only that, but their nature needed to be changed drastically, from fat village folk who fear anything or anyone unusual, to something more likely to spur them on to adventure. The hobbits from the books were extra exceptional, and would probably level cap at 4.
