>>97268747It has a few recognizable names in it so I'm somewhat surprised I hadn't heard of it before.>>97268836So Singh's more of a style over substance type? I should ask, who is everyone here's favorite horror director?>>97270325Never looked too much into Unknown Armies but it looks like a good vehicle for adapting certain stories. Definitely something to look into more.
>>97270329The experiments are to test the limits of how much the "reality" of the world can be fucked with before people notice too hard.It starts as a slow creep before the overt stuff happens and everything is thematic to the situation.butt fuck nowhere USA with perfect white bread american ideal townsfolk? They are all secretly monsters pretending and the uncanny valley ramps up until they mask off.Random inner city USA? The faceless masses of people will randomly become monsters that hunt you down but non one else notices what's going on or your own presence even as they are attacked in the process.Typical desert village except you have to hide from some super giant monster that randomly spits out smaller monsters.Basically, boxed in experiences where the situation decays and forces the PCs to survive as long as possible fore they move on to the next box.

>>97278006you can and most people wouldn't care, true. I do however like the pinks being larger and having more details with head tentacles and horns and stuff, I just wish they were proportioned better. They look a little too skinny for my liking. >>97278074I think it's very fair to say the artists clearly didn't put that much effort into adding more detail to those models. I've seen plenty of good STL's but a lot of companies just churn out lower detail models because the market is so small it doesn't pay to put an extra week or two's worth of work for what's probably only double digit more customers.
>>97278227>sold out it most marketsif your not american I can't help you, sorry. >a secondary market box of boingrotz has 10 for 50$ while I rarely see the hatchette with 5 bounders for less than 30it's 14 for 5 in america, again, sorry about however the conversion rate shakes out where you are.

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.
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"
>>97276969>>97277026>>97277501Could do what community edition did and say "when you draw this card, put it on the timeline for next year" so you have time to bring out your most valuable survivors.

>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
>>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.
>>97277663How's he going perv on Laura now though? Everything's fine on his side. His character's a faggy theatre type (gay) with a dead brother (sad). Masterful. But she's 4 inches tall.

>>97278140Thoughts on Shackleton base
>>97277331>Bgg for components , rulebook for how it plays like a real boardgamerI like to see how the game looks and have a brief overview. It helps me when reading the rules - some are not that good.
>>97270384>Carnagie, Tiletum, GWT Argentina, Endless winter, Flamecraft, Libertalia 2ed, Lacrimosa, Weather machine, Mosaic, Ahoy, Encyclopedia, Cat in the boxCat in the box was very popular but I guess the onslaught of new tricktakers killed it. Also, maybe I'm misremembering but I think there was online/yt buzz about Encyclopedia being goty when it came out and that died in a week. >Bloodstones, ICE, Darwins Journey, Nucleum, Distilled, Apiary, Expeditions, Kutna Hora, Daybreak, Evacuation, The fox experiment, Septima, Arborea, Last lightNucleum is good. It's just less elegant compared to brass games. But it had some neat ideas. Really wanted Bloodstones but the rounded tile stacking on too small areas on the board killed my interest.
>>97277948It really is just pretentious nonsense for the kind of person who simultaneously can't think for themselves and the idea of reading a rulebook to understand a game is too complex for them, but also wants to feel superior by consuming le intellectual reviewer content. I genuinely pity them trying to fill the void of being nogamers by reading such drivel to try and feel superior to some kid playing monopoly and enjoying it>>97278230Bloodstones was right on my radar as something gentler to get my non wargamers more into that side, but holy crap was it just a boring uninspired game. If it wasnt for the production, it would be target shelf level forgotten generic crap

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?

>>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...
>>97234877Okay, you bastard, tell us how did it go? Was it good? I've been running a second campaign for Dragonbane for my wife and son based purely on Hearts of Stone from The Witcher 3 and it's going really nice.The first campaign was the box set, but the story there was borderline non-existent, which was a bit bumming for me.I also ran the village of the day before as a one-shot with friends, and it was cool.

Do you read the source material or just let some e-celeb yawn on about whatever garbage they want to spin?
>>97277789How would you balance the spell? One other idea I had was to give the next heightened effect instead of tHP and +dmg if you already benefit from the runes.Sure, it's yet another "Charge me, Doctor!" spell, but at least it's not dropped after level 1.
>>97277870I don't really think you need them to be a constant in your caster's spell lists. But if you are really hellbent on buffing them, just grant them a property rune. Either from a select list or any property rune.
So what's the situation with the troves? All the links here and in the sharethread are broken, I still have some working mega links but they haven't been updated in a while.

Post your favourite Warhammer Terrain kek
>>97273165They hated Anon because he told them the truth.The 40k terrain posted here is the worst that you can possibly find, mostly from large tournaments that have huge number of tables.The historical terrain posted is from scenario boards from conventions.It's not a meaningful comparison in any way.
>>97274611Go stick your gay spase marine toy up your ass faggot
>>97274533>40k has way better examples of all out spectacle convention tables btwHow many times have you posted this and still not provided a single example? Kek GW simps are so pathetic how butthurt they get when you don't praise their precious slop
>>97273245Not to address every point here but battletech mats actually look way better than the right. They're simple and don't try to do too much, but they aren't ugly. Saying a battletech map is ugly terrain is like saying a chessboard is ugly terrain. But the right image is in fact ugly in a way they aren't.
>>97272480I would rather spend thousands on official GW terrain than ever see a single MDF cut-out building again. I think it's the fact that nobody even bothers spraying them grey or something. The raw, laser cut crap just sits there.

Anyone here played Tales of Argosa?I’m playing Kal Arath right now and love it, haven’t even moved onto books 3-4 yet reallyBut I just saw Tales of Argosa and it seems like Kal Arath but bigger
>>97275163Onto books 2-4* I mean
>>97274865Just use a d6 "yes/no" oracle thing along with standard rules. It's hardcore enough as it is because of how lethal it is. I'm going to look into making the rules more "heroic" down the line (there's apparently a Sword and Sorcery homebrew that makes singular characters more powerful/less squishy... just haven't used it yet). Still want to play Scarlet Heroes as well.
