Tell me about your Dark Sun campaigns. You do play in the most brutal D&D setting ever, don't you, anon?
>>97272515The 4E version is better.
>>97272515>Dark Sun campaigns.first edition boxed set only, not the revised later boxed set.
>>97275417>The 4E version ishorrible junk
I'm sorry, I just can't take a setting seriously if the most dangerous and powerful creature in it is named Boris.
Dark Sun or Morrowind? Which one has better aesthetics?
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.
Fighting person, HumanSome kind of religious practitioner, Humanboth against inhumans like Elf, Dwarf, Demons.inhumans are the only ones that can have spellcasting. Their spell casting should be divided between innate stuff and written stuff. Humans killing the inhumans should be able to loot the written spells. Roll 10s every Day until eligible to learn. Spell tomes could contain upto 1d10 spells.I hate spell casters so much it's unreal
>>97277187For years now, I've been trying to work an adventure fantasy game to my own taste; from mechanics I enjoy to inspirations I think are cool.So of course I am working on a class system that at least references core classes in some regard, as a sort of love letter to their legacy; but the execution is quite different in practice.To explain all of my plans would take multiple, full-character-limit posts, and hours to properly articulate, and even then there's no guarantee it will even be acknowledged beyond "tldr" or "just play vidya gaem", if at all.But to answer the thread's topic directly, I have:>artificer? I don't know if it counts to include this one, because they don't actually make anything, but they have that "magitechy" vibe; they use a weapon that morphs between gun mode and blade mode as the situation calls, and have powerful gravity spells>barbarian that lifts field objects or enemies and bashes other enemies with them>cleric & paladin rolled together in degrees depending on focus on armor, weaponry, miracles, and possible mount or squire>druid chooses one beast to align to and wildshapes; no animal companions or wizard spells>fighter chooses one weapon to master; their style varies based on chosen weapon and a supplementary ability>ranger, with focus on making a useful animal companion through various synergies, choosing one animal to set the tone of the ranger's fighting style>thief has rogue rolled into it, favoring not just sneak attacks and stealing, but being a good "enemy phase" reactive fighter>wizard is rolled into sorcerer, but some spells are reduced in power or outright removedComment too long.

>>97277187so you're forcing the cleric into the backline, but the druid who can also heal is untouched...

>defends modern yugioh>is a retardlike clockwork
>actually paying for cards
>>97277098The one thing I'll give MtG over YGO is they're much more accepting of proxies. Even casual YGO players look at you like you spitroasted Ann Frank with Adolf Hitler if you bring out a single proxy. It's kind of wild. Not sure what caused that in YGO players specifically.
>>97277430Yu-Gi-Oh is a card game about playing a card game, which probably innately makes people care more about the cards themselves.
>>97277430>Not sureMost ygo players are retards
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?

>>97275514>Thread Question: What was your best OSR gaming moment of 2025?Actually getting to play in it! I ran Borshak's Lair in the Wilderlands of High Fantasy with OSE, beginning my first OSR game ever.
>>97275514>>What was your best OSR gaming moment of 2025?Playing Swords & Wizardry for the first time solo. Too much fun.
>>97275829>make up cool shit like Carcosan Man O'War.>As regular MM Man O'War + random colour and random psionic powerKek, this is exactly how McKinney himself makes new monsters. Brilliant.
>>97273891NTA, but I'd say Chapter 8 of ACKS II Revised Rulebook, Mercantile Adventures.
>>97277353Thanks anon, I'll have a look.>>97275514>What was your best OSR gaming moment of 2025?BX newfag campaign before my proud fighter player left the main adventure. His wizard buddy found some magical short sword in a locked casket which he secretly wanted to keep for himself. The beastmaster and the goblin took notice of the glow however and tried to confront him but the wizard knew his judo. Finally the beastmaster put the wizard in a headlock and the fighter approached them. Instead of going for that magical short sword, the fighter took some valuable pearl off the wizard and the beastmaster immediately released him wanting nothing to do with that. I've lost my shit at that moment and couldn't stop laughing out loud over the internal mess my players engaged in. P.S. I miss the fighter but unfortunately he doesn't want to interact with two other players anymore. I'm still running a rival adventure party with him in the campaign which causes funny developments. But at some point I don't know whether I am able to keep it up if the main group seeks to face him or we enter the wargaming stage...
What are some fantasy and sci-fi movies you should watch to inspire your games and players?

>>97277617Here, I'll match you and post 10 times the recommendations you did:
>>97277653>please give me recommendations >NO U incredible response anon
>no display names>no player cards >large groupHow do I keep track of the characters? It’s such a weird thing to ignore. Just throw a name and picture onto the screen like every other Channel does
>>97272698>religion is social controlI think it comes down to them not being able to handle fundamental role-play/ethos such as alignment. Their "Good" characters have always behaved far from it. They are just self-inserts.
>>97275610His face would be right between those. In character, of course
>>97275672All D&D characters are self inserts. That's the point of the game. You are a player, not the writer, and there's nothing wrong with that. In its proper definition too, and not merely being powerful, you pretentious twit.
>>97275871>You are a player, not the writerYou got that part right, at least. >Liam writes that his PC "used to be Evil" but became good>his PC hides items from the others and tries to get them killed because the PLAYER is an asshole.Can't tell if you are trying to defend CR's collaborative storytelling (as opposed to a Role-playing game) or not. Seems like you want to have it both ways. Not surprised.
>>97275753>Liam's gay, sadboy PC must suckle at the tit of Laura's PC because he not only misses his DEEEEEAD husband, and DEEEEEAD pet, but his DEEEEEAD mother. He has regressed that far due to all his pain. Role-play of the highest order.
Mages and wizards of /tg/, make your predictions for 2026! What will happen in the RPG-verse? Do it now before it happens!
>>97275335I didn't know there were any optimists left here.
>>97274207I don't have to predict anything because I know GURPS is getting a new woke reprint and Vehicles 4e was cancelled
>>97274207More people will wake up to Fate superiority due to decreasing quality from all other vectors
>>97275941>pearl clutchinglmao
werewolves vs vampires prohibition-era esque will make a comeback
How do we fix Steampunk?
>>97196423Opus Anima is by far the best and most original Steampunk game, I've come across.But you can't play it since it's dead, out of print and in german.I like Dark Earth as well.But you can't play it since it's dead, out of print and in french.
>>97249590Egypt counts man. Ethiopia also had some shit before they got kicked in the dick by their neighbours and never recovered properly. Now a lot of other Africans don't like them exactly because of their history, but that is besides the point.
>>97277048Egypt is a North African civilization and have more in common with Levantines and Berbers than with blacks.Ethiopia is a good point though.
>>97250167Dirt main roads that stink of horse shit and people throwing their shit out in the streets out their windows?
>>97276644>Tolkien also absolutely saw the distinction between magic and actual scienceNo. He has said machinery is kin to magic.

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.>Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128>Starter Dungeonshttps://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/86342023/#q86358321PREVIOUS THREAD>>97226728
>>97275528Your mistake was thinking LLMs are trained on entire RPG books. They're just glorified Reddit referencing machines. They're trained on forums and articles referencing the rulebooks.You'd need to hook up the LLM to actual rulebooks and pray it follows the rules.
>>97276480>the problem is that most natural caves are quite boring branching or even completely linear in layoutThat's kind of a feature in this regard. Linearity is not always a constant enemy that needs to be defeated at every turn. It can be occasionally (and sparingly) an ally.Natural caves with only a few chambers and only a few branching paths can be a quick and easy dungeon that can be tackled in less than a full session. They have a nice "stumbled upon" feeling to them that also feels organic, and their shortness/linearity can let you focus on dropping in some situations that you ordinarily wouldn't be able to, like monsters considerably stronger than normal that the players can try tackling relatively fresh and without having to worry about conserving their resources.Dungeons should come in a variety of styles, and using natural caves as the "quick and nasty" type really suits them.
>>97276791I bet you could train a model just using Gygax's books and forum posts. You'd end up creating something terrible if you included Cyber Commando though.>>97276403The way the troll keeps trying to gaslight this board into thinking him killing the /osrg/ is a good thing is kind of hilarious.
>>97277384I have no idea why the game publishers in general aren't investing in AI training. It's the next logical step for the industry. Man of tomorrow will not have friends nor will he want to interact with strangers online. Why not skip the human part entirely and have the player experience the games with AI companions and quest givers?
>>97277429Nice try, Skynet.
Pathfinder Card Game 3rd WHEN Edition>>IF YOU ARE ASKING A QUESTION, PLEASE SPECIFY WHICH GAME YOU'RE PLAYING<<Previous Thread: >>97177684/pfg/ (pathfinder 1e) link repository: https://pastebin.com/RSt0rF0T/p2g/ (pathfinder 2e) link repository: https://pastebin.com/1zySxwm3/sfg/ (starfinder) link repository: https://pastebin.com/5yp9s2U3/pacg/ (Pathfinder Adventure Card Game) link repository: https://pastebin.com/wsNmzCMR>>CHECK THE SHARE THREAD FOR MISSING MATERIALS<<>tq: How do you read about updates for the game? Do you read the source material or just let some e-celeb yawn on about whatever garbage they want to spin?
>>97271503Hey so im new to pathfinder and i was wondering if there was any significant difference between 1E and 2EI dont want to hop into 2E and find myself playing a neutered version if you understand what i mean.Just asking before i look into the books, most exposure ive had is through the owlcat games.
>>97277320yeah look at that, its a pretty good way to balance it. Has anyone ever used it in a campaign?
>>97277345Yeah 2E will feel a lot more manageable as the GM but players most often feel a little more on rails. Still plenty of options if mix and matching them is your pleasure, but the highs and lows are very reigned in power wise. I'm sure you could still make an absolutely deadweight useless character filled with "flavor" if you felt like but that's up to you. Lorewise you already know its neutered they've been neutering it since and before those games you played even came out. Not a problem at my table
>>97277346I used it in a Hell's Vengeance campaign with my Undead Lord necromancy-focused Cleric, it really helped me act as a healer when you normally can't for the party when used in concert with stuff like Inflict spells or tapping an ally with this before spamming channels.
>>97277543yeah thats kind of the idea I am going for. I am looking for ways to make healers, without the need for "Clerics or healers"
Have you healed from female Custodes yet?
>>97276842I have a great relationship with both my parents. Shame you don't even know your dad.
>>97277008A female Custodian being a vaguely German slab of a woman feels pretty on brand, at least.
>>97276923The issue with femstodes is that this retcon makes the Emperor less gay
>>97277389Space Marines are made by older males abducting the brattiest boys and injecting them with their gene seed until they become mind broken, yes.
>>97276923>Helped differentiate them from Space Marines moreNo it didn't, you wouldn't know a custodes was female until their helmet was off and GW told you they were female. They're still roided out bold face giant super soldiers who always win, just gold
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.
>>97269759>>97274555I think that videogame will come out and be mid.Other than that, just Monster.
My perfect KDM mod:>less hunts>more crafts>more split between character power and gear power (currently is like 5:95)>More instadeath like the Murder settlement event, which is like, a whole event and a thing you play around, and less instadeath like any random hunt even "the moquito that bite you had supercancer. You died.">more tits
>>97276676>the Murder settlement event, which is like, a whole event and a thing you play aroundCan't really play around "flip the top card of the settlement event"; which I hate. On the other hand, I really like the murder event when they add it "1d5 years from now" and wish most instadeath events were similar (stuff like the kingsman curse or antelope aftermath)
>>97276676Murder i find objectionable because (iirc?) it targets your most experienced returning survivor? That's always a really fucking obnoxious kick in the balls.I could deal with some random schmuck being done in just fine but the star hunter is annoying.Assuming my memory isn't faulty we once had murder happen, the murderer got caught, and we got the option where they become the undisputed murder king (queen in that case) of the settlement. That was fun. But>survivor with the most hunt xp dies.Will never not be annoying.
>>97277026>>97276969Yes the actual target of it is bad, and yes it's just a card flip.And yes the "add event in x years" is awesomeBut the first thing is just a balance thing, like it could be "the lowest XP kills the highest XP, add takes half his xp/split his xp between the other survivors that catch the murder" it can be made fineand for being a card flip, I see it as a settlement inevitability, it has settlement consequences, even if it's a card flip, it's a thing that can happen and it's how that affects your settlement/story, and what they do about it, it leads to something, it's a storybuilding effectI would be fine with a card that says "the oldest person over X hunt xp in the settlement, has died of old age", things happen, what does your settlement do about itI wouldn't be fine with a random event saying "if you are old over X hunt xp you die"

I like Star Wars but all of the TV shows outside of the original Clone Wars and seasons 1-6 of the CG cartoon are just bad. Star Wars has so much media now but it’s just shit. What a cursed franchise. I’m trying to watch the Bad Batch and that’s all it is; a bad batch of episodes.I am reading Dark Lord The Rise of Darth Vader and on the fourth part and it’s just boring now. I like the EU books but this one jus seemed like false advertising, people say it focuses too much on secondary characters but Vader is pretty much the secondary character and I have to slog through boring excerpts about literally who Jedi. I thought it would cover a series of great events early in his career and his philosophy on the dark side but it’s just this plot revolving around these stupid Jedi. Disappointed. What EU media can I read next to not feel disappointed? Or is there just some other fantasy that I am missing out on?
