>>97282978then say who it is in the EU
>>97280608>Takes TFU as direct canonNone of the games are canon as they are faggot, they're interpretations meant to allow you to have fun. Obviously the 501st trooper in the Battlefront II campaign didn't switch from engineering duty to sniping duty constantlyWith TFU you have it easy cause the novel exists which heavily downplays all of the ridiculous events in the game. The Star Destroyer feat for instance turns out to just be a crashing ISD which Starkiller barely manages to push away and almost dies by putting so much effort. He only wins against Vader because 1. he knows his fighting style, 2. Vader is playing around and 3. he uses a shit ton of distractions. And he doesn't even get close to Palps, no battle takes placeThe novel makes Starkiller at best around say Quinlan Vos levels of Force power. Strong but nowhere close to actual big playersRey meanwhile IS stronger than fucking Palpatine and that's canon, the movies aren't interpretative works but rather meant to be completely canon as they are. She IS a Mary Sue and no game excuse can be made
>>97277442>What EU media can I read next to not feel disappointed?Thrawn Trilogy.X-Wing novels for spec ops shenanigans mixed with Top Gun Star Wars Edition and the greatest essence of esprit du corps you'll ever see.Then there's Medstar, Dark Rendezvous (kino Yoda, "I want a rose"), Coruscant Nights, Knights of the Old Republic (pic related, peakest and purest waifu), and many more. It really depends what you're after.
Speaking of SW novels, I recently read Children of the Jedi since I found it at a used books store and was curious about how bad it actually is, considering it's often considered one of the worst novels.I might just have low standards for genre fiction, because I didn't think it was all that bad. Ignoring the issues with the lore and timeline that the writer couldn't have known about since the prequels hadn't been written yet, the Belsavis mystery plotline was fine and got me invested in the characters trying to figure what was going on. But I must say that the book would have greatly benefitted from cutting or massively shortening the other plot. I almost audibly groaned every time the narrative switched from the Belsavis plot to yet more of Luke aimlessly wandering the corridors of an Imperial dreadnought filled with Gamorreans larping as stormtroopers. Probably not coincidentally, whenever people talk about how bad the novel is, they almost exclusively talk about the stupid Luke plotline, not the Han & Leia on Belsavis plotline.

>>97234923It does, but admittedly just taking infantry weapons and making them big does look slightly silly. But then again if you have a giant metal man, why purposefully reinvent the wheel in terms of the weapons? Ultimately I think aesthetics edge it out for me in this regard. The giant SPAS-12 in AC6 looks weird to me.
>>97228530I have a soft spot for it. Stuff like MechWarrior and Earthsiege were my first taste of mecha. Even if 'mechs are more mobile than they are depicted in MechWarrior. I still have the itch to put weapon arms on reverse joint, quad, and tank leg ACs sometimes. (I.E. when I'm not getting my ass kicked by other ravens)
>>97262919half of all mecha content is pve video games, whats your point?
>>97283697Most of all mecha content is a boy and his robot type anime from the 70's-80's. Videogames would barely cover 10% of it, pve or otherwise, and they mostly stopped making them entirely about 10 years ago.

Everyone I know who watches Fatt Coville videos is a fucking terrible GM. I've never fully watched one and I am widely considered the best GM out of all 3 groups I'm part of. I am regularly requested to run campaigns. People borderline fall asleep in the games others run. There's also no tension because they know that these Coville acolytes will fudge rolls until all PCs survive the battle. If you're a good GM, it's an inmate talent you can hone over time. You're born that way. If you aren't, then no amount of shitty advice is going to make up for your lack of talent. It just is what it is. This idea that everyone should "try" DMing is retarded. The idea that anyone can be good at it? lolno. Its like some fat divorced on who suddenly decides he's gonna become a famous author. Fat chance. Most people fucking suck at GMing. Hell, most of them suck at playing, but at least in that case the game depends less on them.

Trench Raiding With The Lads 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.

>>97282111You don't want to give the Sapper the Satchel Charge as they're Heavy so they won't be able to move and shoot with it. You could give it to your Faris as they're Strong, but then you'll probably want to change one of your secrets to Cartography & Geometry to give them Infiltrate. But then overall aside from the Satchel Charge which is once per game, you've got jack shit that's good into hard targets.My personal picks for HoW battlekit steals are the heavy flamer on either a Faris or Strong Homunculus, and an auto-pistol on a CQC focused Philosophy Alchemist.Said Alchemist can stack up to 8 blood markers in one activation over 4 attacks, so the chances of getting a Down even vs -3 armour is reasonably likely. So getting a bloodbath with extra dice is definitely on the cards. Plus the have two shots and a charge so they can mop up chaff decently as well.Jabirean Alchemist• Cost: 110 Ducats | 0 Glory Upgrades & Choices: Cartography and Geography• Equipment: Sniper Rifle Jabirean Alchemist• Cost: 151 Ducats | 0 GloryComment too long.

>gameplayFor Centaurs, you should be able to use them as mounts when not in combat if they're lightly armed & armored. I think you could ride into battle with them and fight on their back without overburdening them, depending on your loadout. Squeezing into dungeons and caves might be a bit of a bitch, and your centaur companion may find themselves too cumbersome to accompany you in certain locations. If people in wheelchairs can make do, I'm sure a transmog potion or a shrinking potion might solve the problem.>fantasy settingsThey're more at home here for sure, like having a horse. Some taverns may give you a hard "no" for your centaur companion, but I'm sure regions that are steeped in centaur culture or adjacent ones have accommodations for their unique anatomy. If nothing else, they could help carry your camp supplies and other provisions. >loadouts for fantasyIf you're not riding them, I think they can be pretty well armed and armored- think tower shield and a mace/flail. They also make good spearmen, so I think they'd be comfortable wielding a halbard and similar pike-style weapons. This would be with them wearing plate mail cuirass for the human portion and chainmail curtain over their horse hind quarters, or perhaps some specially fitted Gambeson. Other plate sections could be fitted to their horse body as needed. Archery and crossbows seem like they'd work for ranged options. I've not considered them using magic, but having a fairly mobile spellcaster seems cool as well.
>>97282271>military conscription and putting unsuited personnel to a position that needs to be filled is wokeI can assure you that despite all the propaganda, the military is not a well oiled machine where everyone can be their best selves.
>>97283238Try as you might, you won't be able to make a halfling wear the giant's armor and be an effective combatant.Throwing ill-equipped people at the enemy have never worked. You either outsmart or out-tech the opposition.>but muh Soviets…Were not fucking butchers, nor were they underequipped past the first couple of months.Outsmarting and McGyvering shit on the spot was happening left and right.If you don't have enough people to fill a certain role, you make do with replacement, i.e. using horses instead of centaurs where possible.Or you switch tactics entirely, such as resorting to sending saboteurs, and ambush or trap warfare when you've lost your orks and only have goblins on hand.You might get away by keeping a sizeable amount of people in reserve to even out the imbalances, but the expenses will add up quickly during a war.Either way, it would be rather silly to not take the mixed nature of one's army into account and set up contingency plans.This, by the way, highlights the difficulties associated with mixed race armies that rely on specific racial strengths.A less rigid structure would instead have a range of roles for races, or group races based on a set of common traits.It's gonna be a pain in the dick whatever you choose to do, but specialization has it's perks, namely higher potential of each specialized group.Comment too long.

>>97283473UUUHyou wouldnt lose so many orks if you didnt only send in the goblins once youd lost them allthere is ONLY hybrid warefare these days.and yes a lot of soldiers die because a retarded overhead wont let them innovate and doesnt know what those guys need to be doing.politics and fragile egos have allways been and allways will be the main driving force behind war.
>>97283473>Try as you might, you won't be able to make a halfling wear the giant's armor and be an effective combatant.Militaries make equipment in different sizes and depending on the period, soldiers would have to equip themselves. Besides, if you don't have a giant and only halflings, you either use those halflings or surrender. History of warfare is full of cases where clerks and cooks with basic training are sent to the front lines. When there's a hole that needs plugging, you make do with what you got.>Throwing ill-equipped people at the enemy have never worked.Yet militaries keep doing it time and time again.>You either outsmart or out-tech the opposition.Or outproduce.>but muh Soviets…Project 100000, for example. People who did not meet the minimum requirements for enlisting were still taken in to keep recruitment numbers up. And while the idea was to use them for logistical support, a lot of them ended up in the front lines anyway.>If you don't have enough people to fill a certain role, you make do with replacement, i.e. using horses instead of centaurs where possible.Or centaurs instead of infantry.>Or you switch tactics entirelyDepends on what type of military you are. Do you give field commanders freedom to do things how they see fit or do you dictate from above how things have to be done, no matter what? Plenty of men have died in pointless attacks because a general somewhere didn't feel like switching tactics.
>>97283491>>97283727It all boils down to human (or whoever's running the show) factor, and versatility in strategy and tactics being a requirement, rather than optional.All-human, or what have you, kingdoms have it easy, since they can just design stuff within a relatively small range of sizes for their race.It's funny to imagine wars causing a major shift in racial balance.The movers and shakers change, as the ones who didn't suffer as many casualties breed and take over as the major players.

Because of course you're not just a hypocritical Luddite arbitrarily drawing a line where on one side what matters is whether the product of the technique matches the ethos and so is good and permitted while on the other you decree the products are poisoned by the means used to produce them despite the same logic applying in bother cases, right?

>>97281269It's a thread about ALL OSR games, hence the name "OSR General". The fact that you're bitter that your fave isn't old-school doesn't change that in any way.
>>97280846No young fren, I was there when osr was nascent. I had no real need for it. I had my old rule books so didn't need the reprints. Only reluctantly played 3e, even then our DMing and playing was old style in tone even with all those silly feats. Not sure why my friends adopted 3e rules, maybe cult of the new.I was here when people made the first osr generals. Outside of some trollish 4channers, and apparently outside of your blogger's head as he's wrongly conflating things, osr still means what it meant.Your opinionated little blogger hero doesn't get to redefine "osr" to suit his means. He's engaging in revisionism and I reject his attempt. Even if 2e was not, as in his opinion it isn't, "old school" it was and is part of osr and has been for 21 years or more.While it's nice to read him admit Cook wrote frames for modules, though unfortunately mistakenly trying to equate this with railroading, and that>such a thing isn't really different from several treasured modules released earlierhe has the rather poor and wrong opinion that>module tells you to place an encounter at a certain point in timeis bad. There's no real difference between a dm deciding to reschedule, omit or add an encounter all on his own, whether for a module or own adventure, and a dm deciding to do that based on advice from a module. It's called being clever, wise, adaptable.In a footnote he adds>I'm not arguing that the old-school method is the one true way to play D&D, though it's the one I prefer.but the trouble is he's talking about "the old school" when there wasn't a universal and monolithic "the old school" and old school isn't synonymous with old school renaissance.>>97281268Mine wasn't the first reply so you're being a bit choosy.Comment too long.

It's all unplaytested splatbooks which are literal shit and setting books written for nogame morons to read rather than play. It's unusable for OSR play because it breaks too many of the core OSR mechanics. It's usable for storyfagging in principle, but you have no reasons to choose it over editions that are much better designed for that style, like 3e and 5e.If you think that pile of absolute garbage qualifies as OSR, it says everything about (You) and nothing about the OSR.
