Which trove has 4AD stuff?

Looking for a starter pack, want to give the game a try. There are so many expansions and supplements out there, it’s a little overwhelming.

I also hear there are a bunch of lewd supplement by Erick Bouchard, which all seem to have been scrubbed from the web? And Erick transitioned? Maybe that had something to do with it?

There’s also Affairs of the Heart which sounds… titillating.

Anyways, looking for stuff. Halp

After about 8 years since I last DM'ed a game, I've been asked to run a session.
Unfortunately my books - adnd, 2e, 3e, 3.5, 4e, and 5e are in storage two states away.
And i prefer physical copies. Thanks to critical role and the movie DND books have gone up in price which is weird.
>4e books are ~10-15$ now.

Is it viable to run 4e in 2025? I don't remember hating it and I still remember some home rules to streamline combat to speed it up a touch.
Does anyone have suggestions for 1-3lvl adventures or campaign settings?

Honestly, I do too. A lot of 4e fans hate it because it stepped away from the AEDU framework and people who liked 4e liked that framework, but I don't actually care about that: an attack is an attack, and "hit harder" is a perfectly valid improvement rather than getting a "hit REALLY hard 1/encounter and move enemy one step / give enemy -1 slaves for 1 round/etc."

A lot of 4e's problem is having too much faff in combat, and Essentials classes reduced the faff

If your players don't go hard in the paint, it can work, especially if you modulate battles towards their strengths.
>>97284845
I gently disagree, as I believe the wealth of options at all times was a boon for players who wanted to have meaningful impact outside 'I hit the dude'.
I've brought in almost a dozen new players to the hobby with 4e, and I have found that it is fairly easy to understand, has depth, and forges good habits of mindfulness and paying attention to the battle when the spotlight isn't directly on you.
One of my cherished memories was running a game for some teens at my LGS, and the fighter being the star because she just ran around protecting everyone, forcing a chokepoint and battering the attacking spider demons.
The look on her face when the party was cheering her on, watching the group fall in together like a well oiled engine, supporting each other, that is what this hobby really is about for me.
That was more than 10 years ago. I wonder what they are doing now?

Of course 4e is going through a rennaissance. Compared to the monster that is 5e, 4e is very GM friendly to the point where a guy who hates making preps can actually run a decent campaign.

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:

>what is the most streamlined way to prepare a hexmap for my group of Pathfinder players to get a few sessions of play out of
Anon gave you a great answer, but as an alternative suggestion, consider not prepping your own map at all and using one of the Wilderlands of High Fantasy maps. They're a little bit harder to read than the colorful Basic-style maps, but the playability is unmatched, and if you want to expand the area of play there are lots more maps ready to hand. You can just plonk your dungeon down in any hex that seems reasonable. Alternatively there are also various remakes of the original Outdoor Survival map that was recommended for use in the original D&D box set from 1974; pic related is one. I hope you enjoy it, Anon!

>>97284203

It's B/X, so it's good. Personally I like the way he implemented addon AD&D material (in the Advanced Edition Companion) better than the way Norman did it for OSE, but that's a matter of taste.

Welcome, friend. You seem to have a good measure of "the spirit of the game" and I'm sure you'll have a great campaign going forward. Others gave you fantastic advice. GFC is an absolute treasure as is Melan (the Beyond Fomalhaut fellow linked above). I'd also recommend Prince of Nothing's Age of Dusk blog, though he primarily does module reviews. His musings are good stuff, though, and his No Artpunk module contest collections are rock solid. I would also urge you to poke around old articles from magazines like Fight On! and Dragon. Lots of stuff to shamelessly steal for your games in there.
As someone who converted his group from PF and 5E to AD&D, I feel it's crucial to set the hook early. I don't mean in a storygame way, mind you, but give them something they want to get done. A solid dungeon that they can't reasonably finish in a handful of sessions, but with the promise of more treasure if they push on. Something like that. Obviously you have a better measure of your players than we do, but if you are enjoying the OSR style then you'll have to convince your group, through gameplay, that it should be your primary game after the first few sessions. You could run one of the established classics like Keep on the Borderlands or what have you. Or you could mess around with Appendix A from the DMG and roll your own dungeon. If you go that route, I recommend being a bit malleable with some of the interpretations of the results. It's a great way to start getting a dungeon hammered out, but don't be beholden to what it creates. Use the results for inspiration and guidance, but get creative with it! GFC has a great video regarding traps that shows a great method for making your own.

(Cont.)
As far as making a setting goes, I recommend not fleshing out everything before you start. Give yourself an aesthetic you're aiming for (mine is "somewhere between Tolkien and Conan by way of Frazetta"), decide what sort of biome you want to start the players in (frozen north, deep woods, coastal region etc.) and hammer out the rough shape. At least one major city if appropriate, maybe some hamlets and villages, key landmarks. Then establish some basic stuff regarding political things like rulership and antagonizing forces. I feel that things move much more smoothly if you just let things develop organically though you may prefer a more rigid method. Beyond that, just go for it! Sit down and start putting stuff to paper. I'm sure you'll have something great shaping up before you know it.

Also, I second Wilderlands of High Fantasy. The booklet can be a bit difficult to parse but it's fantastic for stocking hexmaps.
>>97284550
I really like LL. I would like to pick up a copy but don't really have the need at the moment as I don't play B/X. I may pick up 2E when the physical book releases.

Despite the Napoleonic fanboys' delusional talk, it's not a popular period among normies and hobbyists-lite. The warfare of that era becomes too complex for your average DnD-tier nerd to understand, the period is not hitting you with the "individual heroes and deeds" vibes like the medieval period for example. The easy answer therefore is, it wouldn't sell because your average fantasy consumer is a fantasy consumer and you don't need a genius to create a story of sword-swinging murder-hobos adventuring.

I use two bray-shamans that way instead of a wargor. Hunters spear, not sure on. There are better items for shamans is all. Adding Scourge of burdened on the wargor would also be great cause then you get asshole powers for your shaman. Cast it on him, move him into a forest, cast your magic missile, move back out of forest to prevent line of sight. Best defense for mages is just being invisible.
It's also why goretooth is worth it if you're not playing wild herd. Lore of primal is really good.

Something that makes infantry want to charge instead of only take charges. Just to spitball some mutually exclusive ideas:
Infantry v infantry charges don't get the double fighting line.
Infantry v infantry charges both get the double fighting line
All charges get extra ranks on the charge based on overcharge distance - for every 2" further than needed +1 ranks charging get to attack as supporting attacks. I like this cause it also makes cavalry want larger units and acts as a good point sink.
If your infantry unit strength is higher than opponents infantry unit strength, charging causes fear.
I dunno, make infantry want to charge damnit.

It might help to know how you plan for him to be changed mentally. Ideally (imo) the changes would be related somehow and reinforce each other. IE, he starts getting super paranoid or hyper aware of certain things, and now he also gets an ache in his joints whenever he's around certain sorts of magic or something.

Eye color changes are also an easy one and can be very simple to make thematic.

New here and curious.
Are these like character builders instead of story maker games?
>>
>>97284299
What? You mean cyoas in general? It's a better question for the other thread but yes, the vast majority are essentially a character builder, then you are free to imagine the story in your head. That's how they are supposed to work, as a self-insert most of the time, but this thread specifically uses them a little differently. After making the character we start the process of telling the story collaboratively instead of completely by ourselves. There are some exceptions, like Peil's Life Chronicles that have a more stuctured and involved adventure part, but those are rarer and they don't work for what we do in here.

>>
>>97285155
Pretty much. There are cyoas that provide encounters for you to imagine your character dealing with or even jave mechanics for determining the outcome based on the options picked prior. The way someone usually goes about playing is picking their options and posting the build, optionally with meta reasoning for their picks and a bit on how they imagine things playing out. Here it's pretty standard to include a somewhat in depth bio.

Fuck. normalfags. Kill them all. Tabletop and nerd culture becoming the hip thing to do is the worst thing that has happened to this once niche culture.
I work 40 hours a week, play vidya, workout, have to take out parents/grandparents out to eat on holidays and birthdays, and I can meet schedule and play tabletop just fine because this is my hobby and has been my hobby for 20 years. If you truly love something you can make time for it. There is no excuse.

I agree with this.
It pisses me off, but I don't know how to confront my friends about it without alienating them.
I don't know why they insist on playing with me every week, but don't seem to care about the hobby like I do. I enjoy learning the rules, figuring out the world, hell, I even like just quietly sitting there reading the books and imagining games that could be. I like roleplaying too.
My group doesn't give a shit. Only one other guy can even be counted on to read the rules, and he's our forever DM. He's taking a break so another guy can run right now, and SURPRISE, he didn't decide to read the rules and figured he's just learn it as he went. Luckily it's OSRS shit so the rules are usually the same, but it's definitely a huge annoyance when he references 5e D&D concepts that aren't supposed to exist.

With a little bit of effort, your games can be all but frictionless.

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.

Mid-Colonial Island Adventure Setup & System Help
Hello fa/tg/uys and a happy new year. I'm planning a new campaign and would appreciate your collective wisdom. I'll lay out the pitch and would like your thoughts, ideas, and especially system recommendations.
The year is roughly equivalent to the early 1700s. The players are new arrivals or long-term residents of an island colony. Mere weeks after their arrival it becomes apparent that no ships from the homeland arrive. Ships sent out for help or trade simply vanish. The colony is now utterly isolated. Resources are finite, society is beginning to crack, and the unexplored interior holds ancient secrets.

>Resource Scarcity
No contact with the outside world. Every nail, bolt of cloth, and ounce of gunpowder is precious. Gold is the main currency, and it matters—for buying scarce supplies, hiring help, bribing officials or mayby hiring trainers if gold can be tied to character advancement.
>Low-to-Mid Magic
Magic is rare. Players won't be casting spells at the start. It's something discovered in the forest ruins or bargained for with strange spirits mid-campaign. Church sanctioned magic is the exception with high ranking members of the faith having access to considerable magical power.
>Healers for Hire
There are a few lowly priests of the faiths that can perform rudimentary healing rituals but demand some gold or favors. This type of healing and warding, especially against diseases, is used by the church to maintain power and influence. They're NPCs, not party members, at least initially and the most common source of magic.
>Zero to Hero
I would really like for the player to start really low powered. More akin to semi-skilled commoners than competent adventures and it should take time for them to actually become strong and capable. I would like for them to eventually become big players in the island. Maybe even hold titles or positions of power.

so the colony of roanoke

well it sounds like a perfect fit for mythras to me. these low power, commoner to hero, low magic kinda realistic games are the type of games it excels at
>>
>>97280104
colonial gothic is also an underrated game that i ppreciate and would fit very well what you re trying to do
>>
you should probably use the Barbarians of Lemuria system to play this; with some of the added rules from Honor+ Intrigue, which explicitly is designed for games set in the 17th-18th century.
>>
Thanks you all kindly for your system recommendations. Currently I am leafing through the ones I could find.

I would like something less rigid that the class system offered in OSE. For starters I wouldn't like anyone starting as a magic-user. It's generally too high-fantasy/magic for my use case, I think.
SotDL Could kind of work. The path system and traditions are flexible enough and could be introduced later in the campaign. I would agree that D6s are swingy as boon/banes. D4s don't roll. D3 sound like a good compromise.

Couldn't get my hands on beyond the wall for free yet. I don't know If it's available in the share thread, I will look it up. Mythras indeed looks like something that could work for my use case but I will have to find whatever sourcebooks support a 1700s setting better because the core seems more focused in a fantasy bronze age.

I respect Varg for being a dedicated and professional LARPer but I have at least two players that would refuse to touch any game with his name on it. Good point on gunpowder though. I haven't thought about making the island volcanic but maybe I will. Colonial Gothic seems too into it own thing to be of use but I will add it to my reading list.
>>97282747
Barbarians of Lemuria/honor+intrigue seems like a good fit generally. The way careers and magic work is very fitting but I am afraid it will be far too pulpy for what I am going for. .

That is understandable
>Good point on gunpowder though. I haven't thought about making the island volcanic but maybe I will.
My understanding is most Caribbean islands are or were volcanic, and even dormant/extinct volcanoes will still have the sulfur mineral deposits left behind. There are also non-volcanic sources of sulfur. Gypsum can form from lake or sea water evaporating in an area or in caves and other deposits. That is trickier to turn into plain usable sulfur, but if you wanted to say it can be done more easily with magic, it would not be much of a stretch. Pulling an element that is already in the mineral out and extracting it sounds like babby level alchemy.

Another thing to consider is wherever the gunpowder is actually produced and stored is also very vulnerable. Even in the modern day with modern safety practices, the only black powder producing plant in the US blew up in 2021.

>Anyway to minimize?
Not that I know of. Maybe painting in very small patches and letting each patch dry completely before moving on to a patch on the opposite side of the piece. Or slowly "drybrushing" the whole piece and never truly having a pile of wet paint on it at any point.

>>97282661
People prime cardboard for oil painting and stuff but it's a whole multilayer process .You could probably cut down on some of it because this isn't going to be for traditional art but you'll have to experiment yourself on how many corners you can cut.
