>>97286221thank you.
>>97285453The only reason I am being held back from ToW is the lore retcons and political pandering personally. I'm a bret fag and hate the "womyn can be strong independent knights too" narrative they are pushing. Would rather just play 2nd ed TTRPG instead

Why do "modern" and modern people go insane when they see some eldritch blorblo, but Conan could just kill it without going "aaaaaahhh save me niggerman!!!!!"
>>97281870Civilized people think they have everything figured out so when something crazy appears before them it goes against that they think they know. The Savage know that they don't know a lot so when something insane appears before them they see it for what it is.
>>97284782Then you're probably fine.
>>97286232Half this country has hysterical freakouts constantly about an impending fascist takeover that is never happening. The other half promises me a communist famine state run by dirkas and shitjeets will get me first. A sizable minority assures me both are wrong and I'm going to roast in Hell unless I get down with the Christ-ness. Nihilistic apathy is a minority opinion, even if Howard was a neurotic dude.
>>97286772This isn't even the only time this happens, and he never takes it well. Hell, he encounters a vampire bitch once and actually runs away in genuine fear.
>>97283001>Plenty of Conan characters lost their shit looking at horrors of the outer dark retardYeah but nobody on this board reads the Conan Stories. Their conan knowledge is almost exclusively limited to the shitty movies, comics and frazetta art. They don't read any of Howard's conan stories let alone his non conan tales.>"Worms of the earth, back into your holes and burrows! Ye foul the air and leave on the clean earth the slime of the serpents ye have become! Gonar was right—there are shapes too foul to use even against Rome!">He sprang from the Ring as a man flees the touch of a coiling snake, and tore the stallion free. At his elbow Atla was shrieking with fearful laughter, all human attributes dropped from her like a cloak in the night.>"King of Pictland!" she cried, "King of fools! Do you blench at so small a thing? Stay and let me show you real fruits of the pits! Ha! ha! ha! Run, fool, run! But you are stained with the taint—you have called them forth and they will remember! And in their own time they will come to you again!">He yelled a wordless curse and struck her savagely in the mouth with his open hand. She staggered, blood starting from her lips, but her fiendish laughter only rose higher.>Bran leaped into the saddle, wild for the clean heather and the cold blue hills of the north where he could plunge his sword into clean slaughter and his sickened soul into the red maelstrom of battle, and forget the horror which lurked below the fens of the west. He gave the frantic stallion the rein, and rode through the night like a hunted ghost, until the hellish laughter of the howling were-woman died out in the darkness behind.

Are all realms in your fantasy setting traditional kingdoms or do you like including other types of governments as well?
>>97286465>>97286473>>97286487>>97286806https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc7HmhrgTuQ
>>97285981There's only one realm that's played any significant role in the campaign so far and it's currently in a 3 or 4 way civil war between>The anointed emperor, in an alliance with the new class of bourgeoisie burghers, fighting to wrestle power back from regency council/parliament and reestablish absolutist monarchy, complete with his family's long-standing tradition of demon-worship. >The conservative nobles, who thought they'd firmly secured power during the emperor's minority and are now fighting to bring him back under the thumb of parliament. >The revolutionaries, determined that power should be in the hands of the common people (or at least themselves, as appropriate representatives of tehe common people). They're also broadly determined that the emperor, the nobility and anyone without sufficient revolutionary zeal should be sacrificed to demons, not because they're worshiping the demons of course, the demons are just useful tools.>The northern duke, currently in broad alignment with the rest of the nobility but from a culturally distinct polity and clearly tempted to either secede or conquer the entire empire for himself.
>>97286806Why'd you feel the need to try and continue a short four-post discussion that was already over?
>>97285981>all realms Unlikely. Based on late renaissance and early modernism so there's a lot of shifting monarchies, feudalism, city states, mercantilism and attempts at other models based on theological schisms with the not!pope like Breakers and Levelers. Plus what the Occident, Orient, Savage Lands and the New World are up to. In game variety wise this mostly plays out as different orientations of towns on the hex map and random encounters. Some of the more isolated areas end up being town councils by default with occasional interruptions by larger powers. The players haven't really struck out for any particular faction yet but having their allegiances and reputation preceding them will be more of a thing as the campaign progresses. >>97286806>If you want to argue about the moral compass of ancient political bodies there are better boards for than the thread about fantasy political bodies based on ancient political bodies Nigger you dumb.
>>97285981I hate Puckee more than you can imagine.
Is it really good etiquite to have seriously "heavy" and depressing themes in your tabletop campaign as opposed to just lighthearted evening fun or cynically detached/ironic grimderpness?
>>97286461Absolutely.
>>97286063Read the room. Is that what your table wants to do for that game? If so, then yes. If not, then no.
>>97286063Try playing games sometimes and see how it goes.

>>97286063>Is it really good etiquite to have seriously "heavy" and depressing themes in your tabletop campaign as opposed to just lighthearted evening fun or cynically detached/ironic grimderpness?Yes. If anything, it's the other way around: unrequested cynicism/ironism/grimderp is insulting.

I'm at my wits end with the saturn 3 I have, will not stay level after screws tighten no matter what I do. I tried fdm printing a whole frame to keep it still in spite of it but it still manages to completely tweak itself out of alignment.The saturn 4 ultra looks good but I am drawn by the photon p1 for how easy it looks like to switch screens.

>>97286918So the frame pieces is at least 18x18 cm, so FDM is the better choice. It looks simple enough that a bambu machine is not necessary, cheaper machines will print something like that just fine.Any newish printer from a reliable company like elegoos neptune 4 will do fine, or if you want to choose bambu a a1 would be enough.Bambu is like apple,good quality, pricey for what it is but they put in extra work to have an easy to use closed eco system.>>97286960...

>>97286924Wear a proper dust mask. Or do the filing submerged in water to avoid the cancer particles becoming airborne.
>>97286924Wet resin, mask up, fan on, windows open
I am looking for a game that is a mix between HeroQuest and Battletech. In that it is a duel type game rather than a dungeon crawler, movement is hex based, there are items and objects you can pick up and interact with, and there are fixed action points per character deployed, and each action a character takes costs action points. Is there anything you would personally recommend that sounds like this, or do I have to homebrew such a system myself?
>>97286252Are you looking for a specific existing game, or asking if there is a game that satisfies your highly specific criteria?If it's the former, I unironically recommend searching by mechanics on BGG. As shitty as the site has became, the search is still great.
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. And as we enter this happiest and newest of years, remember: 2e was never an old-school game, bait is for reporting, and fish is for smoking! Happy new year, grogs! 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?

>>97286631>>97286698>HyperboreaI guess it's fine if you like it, but suggesting Hyperborea to someone who's asking about AD&D is misleading at best.
>>97286902No it isn't. Hyperborea is basically the core of AD&D but without a nonsense Gygax initiative system.
>>97283784>trying to steal it to make AD&D 2e on-topic2e was on topic in the original osrg threads, trying to exclude 2e makes this a usurper thread but keep on lying to yourself and the others.
>>97286902>>97286698 (me)Hyperborea definitely shares the bones but it really is its own thing. I actually quite enjoy segmented combat, so it's something I'd likely houserule back into Hyperborea.
>>97286902NAYRT but IMO it makes perfect sense. You can agree that OSRIC is the most faithful AD&D retroclone and still think Hyperborea is the *better* AD&D retroclone. LotFP occupied a very similar niche relative to B/X pre-OSE: I don't think anybody would have argued it was more faithful than Labyrinth Lord. People just liked it better.
How would adding a female only paladin order improve your setting?
>>97286727Paladins only exist in traditional games and thigns based on them. Stop being a faggot.
>>97286770No answer because no games. Typical.
>>97286797post games
>>97285712Just like adding this thread improved this board.In other words, it would not.
>>97286770>Stop being a faggot.You first.
If you could choose the set of core classes (in the PHB/core book and ideally the rest of the classes are designed around them) what would you choose?They don't have to be identical to their current incarnations.For me its,>Ranger,absorbs a lot of the fighter but keeps the independent survivalist schtick.>Paladin, Divine warrior with special abilities but no spells>Rogue,Sneaky stabby martial, basically as he is now>Wizard,>Druid,>Cleric,Default to being lightly armoured wandering friar tuck type character, but with options to put on some armour and bonk.
>>97283181It's a Rockerboy with more broad flavour.Media would be in the second player's book.
>>97280721>a post that literally addressed the topic wasn't a contributionKAnd to be clear, I'm not talking about these posts:>>97280438>>97280482...I'm talking about the post I made upthread that got ignored.

>>97279286What is the difference meaningfully between Monk 'wuxia' behaviour, fighter enhanced ability scores and rogue skills?It's mostly the monk I'm, and what you mean by wargame abilities on the fighter, that I'm struggling to understand.
>>97285758>What is the difference meaningfully between Monk 'wuxia' behaviour, fighter enhanced ability scores and rogue skills?Lists of increasingly-wonky techniques on the Monk versus throwing big numbers into "default" rules until things get wonky on the Fighter versus using an actual skill subsystem that bundles functions into areas of proficiency that get wonky when you're That Good with the Rogue."Weaboo Fightan Magic" is an old pejorative for the Tome of Battle supplement for 3.5, back-porting a later-abandoned 4e prototype into a subsystem with classes substituting for the Fighter, Monk, and Paladin. It has stuff like covering your sword with a jet of flames for extra damage and reach at 3rd level, generally once per encounter due to the refresh mechanics but being 3.5 there are naturally shenanigans to loop.>and what you mean by wargame abilities on the fighterBefore WotC got the IP, it was expected that higher-level characters eventually got positions of political power lording over increasing numbers of class-appropriate NPCs, which grounded the scope-creep of enemies surmounted in actual setting influence which in turn compensated for the proactive value of spellcasting by letting the Fighter send dudes to get things done in a number of places simultaneously because the casters became bosses of a lot less dudes. In the earliest versions, this directly cited the wargame preceding D&D called Chainmail for resolving combats with dozens to hundreds of participants.
Christmas edition▶What is Kingdom Death?Kingdom Death is a tabletop miniature brand stared by Adam Poots and operated by himself and his Team that later spun off into a miniature based bored game funded by two very successful Kickstarter campaigns.▶What is Kingdom Death: Monster?Monster is a Nightmare Horror cooperative boss battler/miniature hobby game for 1-4 players about hope in a strange world of bizarre monstrosities and perpetually darkness. Players take on the role of survivors that band together to form a settlement, fighting monsters, crafting weapons and gear, and developing their civilization to ensure survival from generation to generation.Prologue Narration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNLc8dHv0AcThe Game is broken up into 3 phases:1. During your Hunt Phase your band of survivors traverse the world of KD in pursuit of their quarry.2. After successfully tracking your quarry you will begin the Showdown Phase, where you must fell these horrific creatures in order to acquire precious resources.3. After the battle, your survivors wander home with loot in hand to begin the Settlement Phase. Arm yourself by developing new weapons and bizarre structures to prepare for next year's hunt.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97283913I mean, they're cool,but I'd feel a lot better if poots had stuck closer to the pitch and left all the new campaigns and shit to their own expansions so we could've had COD in our hands 2 years ago like it was supposed to be...
>>97282148I've seen some scans in the purple site but far from a complete collections.Recast prices jump between $2-3 bucks for small models and up to $20-ish for big things like Spidicules.
>>97269759I can see a licensed TTRPG eventually. I doubt he personally works on any other KD projects though
>>97282601Thanks anon. Our group had put in for it on BF and just wanted a condensed version of what we are getting into (and what ill probably end up painting).>>97283913I enjoy seeing the realm expand too. Problem is it was left on "vague" setting for so long we have some of our own lore to fill the gaps that might be contradictory to official lore and that bums me out sometimes.>>97284996Havent played arcs yet but isn't that essentially a ttrpg with them?
>>97286783Arcs are just a more robust progression system for survivors. Still not really ttrpg
