I started working on a Science Fantasy TTRPG. It was originally a GURPS setting, but i wanted something more pulpy, less realistic, and it's spun off into its own thing.Here's the latest draft, tell me what you think>https://files.catbox.moe/maxhmu.pdfthe new captcha is fucking gay btw
>>97263862awesome, i love /tg/ originals.
>>97263862Very pulpy. Very kitchen-soupy. I enjoy the writing. Formatting is nice as well. Not sure how it playtests. A few thoughts:>D100 systems like this it gets really easy to get to 100% effective skill (+10 from gear, +10 from aim, etc)>Called shots to head are always worth it, 10% penalty for 50% damage increase> Critical success should probably always be 5% or 10% of the effective skill level. Right now, a master with >100% skill crits at the same rate as someone with zero skill. >Combat seems very rocket taggy. Energy sword is 3d10+6+(Str/10) ignoring 10 DR is insane.>Prepare Defense is a trap and never worth it, mechanistically. Defensive skills are punishingly bad.>Do defensive reactions completely invalidate the attack? Are there any restrictions/limitations? > Death checks become nearly impossible afer a certain threshold. Light damage gets irrelevant. Heavy damage is going to kill> Ursulans, Mechanicals, and Amphibians seem awesome> Defense stacking seems strong >Extra attack is insanely strong in this system> Armor and weapons don't scale well and DR eventually outpaces most damageComment too long.

Is it a good advice for game masters who want to run campaign in the "exotic" place instead of generic "coast of swords" clone?
As long as the characters can be cute, nothing else matters.
>>97270237Yes and now. It is true if you have lived your entire life there, for native NPC, but I prefer if the people outside enter it with some prejudices, sneering, and cultural posturing.

I saw a YouTube series once where two guys would use DM pack emulators to simulate a sealed pool of the first expansion and play a few games with each other. Then instead of creating an entirely new pool, they would instead get a pool from the second expansion, add the two pools together and play with decks created like that. So on for the third expansion, the fourth etc.Do you think it would be fun to do something like this with another acg? And instead of two random dudes, it's a weekly tournament. Basically going through the history of a game.Does this post make sense? I might be too tired
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.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?

>>97266427>Old School Essentialsit's good as reference but you should read b/x first since it has actual advice, explanations and examples on how play looks like.
>>97266862You're overthinking this. Just play. You'll make mistakes initially, and you'll improve with time. No big deal.Also, for decades kids have learnt to play D&D without watching videos on YouTube. You really don't need them.
>>97266962I dont concur with this advice entirely. While its true that Burger King has some good videos, he has a lot and its very hard to tell them apart at a glance. You're better off downloading subtitles off Daddy Rolled a 1 and having an AI summarize them for you (given the two hour video runtime). Focused mostly on B/X, mostly surface level, with more context, history, comparison to LBB/OD&D/AD&D it seems to me the better deal, if it must be a YouTuber.

the paid dm defenders have always said they help people with no friends, but the last few months they are being promoted as>fun for friends>give your dm a break>let your group try a new systemim talking ginny d, reddit, forum posts, irl in-store. in all seriousness will people fall for this instead of having one of their friends dm
>>97268601You want to work on your art?
I once got into a group for a lesser system and the guy who was running the session had zero ideas at all, kept asking us what we wanted out of the game, like time period, story, setting, etc. Turned out halfway through setup he was a paid DM who wanted to use us to practice, hence his need to please. I left the group.
>>97266322Those 3 things are core things they've always tried to sell themselves as. Is this your first time stumbling onto the shittery that paid GMing is?
>>97268852What an uncannily ugly woman. How desperate are 5e losers that this is who they consider worthy of all that attention?>>97266322Paid DM-ing is horrible. That being said, if you want me to ever run 5e, you'd have to pay me. People who pay for this are pathetic, friendless, losers.
So, how does this paid Dming actually work in a game? As you are paying, do you expect your character always winning? Is there any actual danger or does the DM make everything a cakewalk otherwise they might get a bad review? What if you pay the $300 and your character dies in the first encounter, do you get to insist on a 'customer's reroll, get to see the manager, get a refund, etc? Do you have to tip?What if the players start charging the DM a fee to turn up to a game?

>>97270138C7 tried that in the past with the Middenheim book, but the people pointed out that Middenheim having a population in the 100K+ was infeasible for its land size, so they reduced it to like 10k in the final edit of the bookI'm not sure what population they would push for Mairanburg though Altdorf has 1 million people in it, so I would expect it to be bigger than that

>>97270261They are from MESBG, noticeably smaller than WH dwarfs (and much less thick). I was thinking Orcs and Goblins for my Fantasy army to kind of go in a completely different stylistic direction. Or Tomb Kings because I am a lazy/slow painter and could do them to a decent standard fast.

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.
being a good DM/player is mostly attitude.I've DM'd for people who bragged about having decades of experience and they ended up being annoying problem players and I've DM'd for first time players who had great instincts and were a lot of fun to play with.most GM advice is common sense that anyone with social skills and storytelling ability will know.
>>97262938Nah it's about 25 percent attitude. The rest is genuine competence in running the game and making it engaging and imaginative.
>>97233508>If you have it, you have it. If you don't, you don't.I think a lot of disciplines in general can look like this, but I think time spent doing something can really help someone that didn't start with it to get it. I think the wrong attitude like that games and art are all about following rules perfectly will prevent someone from improving, but once they find the right attitude then they can learn anything
>>97262938I've played alongside a guy who really loved to flex their oldfag credentials about how he once played at a table with Arneson or how he had Gygax's signature on the first dungeon master's guide or some shit. He was the most obnoxious, annoying, derailing piece of shit I've ever played any game with. I've also run games for literal children who were better players than the highly opinionated, stubborn oldfags who prided themselves on their expertise and deep knowledge of TTRPGs.The old players get set in their ways and believe they already know how to play and don't need to change their habits. Everyone else does. Their egos and undeserved confidence in their mastery of game systems makes them feel smug that they are the truest authority at the table, even as they misquote every rule and cite made up houserules or something some other GM allowed as justification for them to always get their way.
>>97252361Did you try and get them to play something marginally different to 5e like ACKS or Pathfinder with 12 million rules for them to remember? Get them used to other systems buy running short campains with rules light systems like Mothership or Cairn.

>>97252946lol

Using bones as pile drivers, hide to protect joint etc
Dragons are about the size of a lion and live in caves and mud wallows in the deep wilderness. They are dangerous because they can fly and breathe fire, and their bite and blood can kill a man with a horrible poison that causes the body to swell and blacken until it bursts open and all his guts spill out. They accidentally collect arms and treasure by dragging their victims back to their lairs to eat them in solitude.

Dubs and above turn into canon.
The South is essentially what would have happened had Justinian's Empire succeeded. There's a strong united Church, a powerful Emperor backed up by military governors and a complex bureaucracy. The Church plays second fiddle to the whims of the Emperor and the senate. The league comprises five major powers: >The Second Imperium: Greek in appearance and character. The big dogs.>The Kingdom (can't figure out a name): Englishmen aesthetically, vaguely German in appearance. Saxonish.>Orange Republic: Dutchmen. They're the 'rogue traders' of the setting. >A Viking kingdom. They've recently converted and want to prove their devotion... BY KILLING HEATHENS!

The internet exists and so does social media.
>>97256170The dubs gimmick encourages bomb throwing and retardation instead of developing ideas and discussion.
