Just joined a necromunda campaign and looking for some advice about initial upgrades/purchasesI've got a venators list with:Leader (ranged, wyrd)2 beastman champs with frenzon collars4 gangers with grenade launcher, combat shotgun, 2 lasgunsWhat are some decent territories and purchases to aim for as an opener - I've heard settlement and anything that lets me buy gear at discounted prices is good.I'm thinking that priority will be getting armour (at least mesh+/-undersuit) is the first thing. After that, gangers with boltguns and stuff e.g. grapnels, heavy weapons.Thoughts?Also, are there any decent ways to bump armour saves for cheap. Ceramite shields seems good but will probably need a grapnel launcher to offset the speed issues.
>>97228255>bump armour saves for cheapceramite shield ain't cheap. If you need more armor buy ablative overlay.
>>972282551. You need more bodies not to get ruined by a bad bottle roll. At least 9-10.2. Frenzon collars are busted as hell unless you houserule them to at least need "frenzon charges" after each use.3. That's my personal autism, but I think that grapnel launchers used to travel purely horizontally, on ground level, are kinda silly, but you do you.>>972284114. Ablative overlay are EXTREMELY gay and should be banned. Not only they are extra bookkeeping, they are also a no-brain purchase.
>>97228090>>97228094And after some highlighting. Still learning how to blend and highlight but I think overall the colors work well with each other. The brass is warm enough that the grey base I plan on using ( to simulate an underground environment ) probably won’t make the overall tone too cold.
Thoughts on this man?

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.PREVIOUS THREAD>>97206318
>>97227911The Kuo-Toa making "gods" with their belief can have interesting potential. I imagine an evil group capturing Kuo-Toa young and raising them in cults designed to create many minor evil gods for a part in a grand master plan. The plan might even be "Fuck up this kingdom and then we will loot it blind, maybe claim a throne".
>>97227931youre right, this is not /osrg/, this is OSRG.this is not a /2eg/ or /todd/ or /acksg/ this is an OSRG. If you dont like it, you can go back to /osrg/ and talk about "first decade" dnd like ravenloft and pharaoh.
>>97228236now that sounds like a fun premise for a long term campaign. Divine eugenics program could lead to something truly crazy.
I've been playing some Shadowdark. It's ok, I guess.Interested in trying out Vagabond, but it doesn't have a Campaign Setting so I can't be arsed.If you're not gonna have a campaign setting for your system, I might as well just play OSE, even if it's for the fifth millionth time.
>>97228267No, this is /todd/.

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.

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?

>>97228131>wtf a year ago I asked about upkeep and was told I was an FOElink or it's bullshit
>>97207832>spends this much time making detailed infographics about how a game is not OSR because it has rules he doesnt like, and he cant comprehend that the rules state they're "guidelines" and youre not obligated in the slightest to use them. >>97214255i do. Also Pharaoh and Ravenloft are First Decade OSR D&D>>972182232e is OSR though. You just dont like that it has rules you disagree with.
>>97228201>>97228227Something about taxation is theft. I don't remember the details but a really negative responce to a fairly basic part of the game like 1:1 time.
>>97207832That's it? Those are far less taxing than AD&D poindexters make it out to be. It's negligible even. OD&D has higher upkeep and even that is easy to afford. ACKS characters will be collecting taxes at a certain point and will have no problems affording their upkeep when it starts to ramp up.
>>97228131>>97228201I think I remember something about taxing dungeon loot directly.Not upkeep cost but local lord smells the gold and pops in to take his tenth (or more) because the dungeon is on land he claims to own.
two new players, three long time players. we were supposed to do a new one-shot. Everyone just kinda... sucked? I feel like I was doing my normal GM stuff but they were all so dumb tonight, couldn't think of basic solutions to any problem. we got through maybe 1/3 of what was supposed to be a one-shot. what do you do when players suddenly become retarded? game was barbarians of lemuria btw.
>>97215644>NTA but are you retarded? One of the tumblers is a vial of acidOk so the lock is going to melt itself in regular use.>The locks are lead which is resistant to the acidThe only acids lead is resistant to require too high of a volume and too much time to cause significant damage to an iron lockpick. Furthermore, if the lock itself is made of lead, it would take no effort to brute force open, which OP specified was not possible and leads to failure.
>>97205591Well?
>>97207499>Do they know you expect them to do mapping?Better yet, or worse.OP expected his players to 'map the area', and clearly hasn't given them a dungeon map.If he had given them a map, or even just drawn out the shapes on a notepad, this entire thing wouldn't be an issue.OP is not only a shit GM, but expecting his players to correctly visualize a complex 3d space by verbal description alone, and is getting mad that they fail to intuitively recognize that they've been in a space between two points.
>>97206676Yes the riddle is easy even without making the connection from nitz to knights which is retarded to begin with because you indicate a short sound i. Make it Nitez or shit. Why would that entire retarded setup even exist? If you don't want your players lockpicking a door don't add a door or add a lethal trap as if someone actually protected that room. A set of reinforced bars with no obvious way in would make the existence of a hidden door near the statues even clearer.You are reinforcing a behavior on your players that will make them less likely to engage with the riddle anyway. If they wanna use an ability that they chose to learn, in a way that makes sense, don't "gotcha" them with retarded roadblocks. Instead change the challenge. They wanna bash the door in? Now they have to find a way to banish the guardian ghost. They wanna lockpick it? Now they have to deal with a lethal roomtrap. Did they overcome either of them? Now they "earned" their entry by going ahead with the method they chose and have a sense of accomplishment for 'outsmarting' the dm or feel like their character was useful because the way they built it added to the progress of the story.Once inside you can have them accidentally notice the hidden mechanism and everyone will have a good time about how obvious it was and how they managed to miss it.Stop being a "no" dm and start being a "yes but..." dm
How has a wife/girlfriend joining the group affected your games?
>>97227155I genuinely couldn't give a toss what you accept.
>>97223515funny guy
>>97223311>How has a wife/girlfriend joining the group affected your games?Do you Catan?
>>97223311In boardgames we do great, in ttrpg we play different tablets because our play-styles don't mesh well.
>>97223311So far it ranges between not at all to positiveTwo dudes from our group regulary had new GFs and often brought them to the tableIn most cases they didn´t participate much or at all, there was maybe one or two cases that made the game worse but those always dropped out quite earlywe had one case where the GF simply liked the Game and actually participatedSo overall it is not bad, as long as they join becuase they have an actual interest, if they just join to spend more time with their bf/husband it won´t hurt and if they just join to get more attention from boys, they will get bored quickly and leave

>>97225982Both Thallax and Ursarax are some of the best units Mech has at the moment, at least where I'm concerned. Thallax are very efficient, get a ton of good S8 AP2 firepower and can easily be boosted to BS5 from across the board. Ursarax basically need you to take their Apex to get really good, but once you do they're probably the most efficient horde munchers in the game, they'll sweep tacs or similar off the board effortlessly and take a disgusting amount of effort to put down.Perhaps the most intuitive Mech list I've got at the moment is Archmagos Lacry w/ 10 thralls, 2x Magos Reductor with Thallax, a third unit of multimelta Thallax for deep strike and then a full Apex of 27 Ursarax. Fill in the gaps with Vultarax and a bunch of armour and call it good.
So, what are your plans for next year?Personally I'd like to take a crack at making more specialists, like Consuls and stuff. They're always fun to see, and I really like how much leeway you get with making them your own.

>>97221316>no way he can manoeuvre
>>97215105It’s the opposite. I don’t care that much about the lore but i likewise don’t want to play against some ballaching metafag which is the majority of people i’ve met in KT so far. To claim that you just want to “throw some dice” is absurd when metafags are the least casual players you can go against.My last game had my opponent go over the entire meta leaderboard status of the top teams and how the newest dataslate could impact the upcoming this and that other fuckin tournament. Who gives a shit. >>97216044I’ve never met the latter in my life in any game. I would find a /yourdudes/ autist pretty annoying i’m sure but i’ve yet to even meet one to make this observation. The most fun games are somewhere in the middle where it’s a good clean fun game where the rules are observed but both sides remember that we are trying to simulate dudes fighting eachother and not merely moving spreadsheets around
>>97222716>both sides remember that we are trying to simulate dudes fighting eachother and not merely moving spreadsheets aroundNot instigating anything, but what would this look like to you? And how would it impact the game or enhance the enjoyment of the battle? I ask because used to live in a place where our local spot tried to implement a sort of narrative campaign but it ended up just being limply implemented and mostly limited to a whiteboard map that got colored in depending on what faction (Chaos, Xenos, Imperium) won the most games in any given week.For me, KT has fun rules and good game design so just the act of playing is enjoyable; you could strip out the flavor of the teams and it still would be enjoyable on a mechanical level. Obviously the flavor is what adds the special spice to the game, getting to interact with the factions/setting you like and all that comes with that, but at its heart KT is still a warGAME to me.
Anyone played the new raveners ?How do they play ? are they more of a aggro team or do they just hide in their tunnel and do missions mostly ?
>>97228305hard to discribebut they mostly play passive aggro. practically like traps. if som,ething comes to close to the tunnel. they seem durable but mostly aren't. so hit n run tactics are a must.
>>97227975I'm fine with female space marines as long as they look and act exactly like the males and are referred to as brother.
>>97227975
>>97228116Probably because the Pariah gene is hard to work with and they don't want to fuck with it by using lots of biotechnology on them. It's the same reason the Necrons never fully colonized Earth during the War in Heaven, because cultivating it in early humans was more trouble than it was worth.
Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing female Chaos Marines, since Fabulous Bile has always made a big deal of trying new stuff with Geneseeds. They already did those Gland Hound things that were like cheaper versions that could be used on both sexes and allow them to breed new ones the normal way.

>>97227151Ngl being forced to watch Wicked really made me want to pick this game up.
>>97227594I also refuse to watch Wicked. Especially now that it looks like the director induced eating disorders in half the cast and the malnutrition has gone straight to their heads in weird culty ways.
>>97227594I played one game of it using proxy bases, it's pretty fun. I don't really have much to compare it to though, I don't play many rank and flank games. A typical game uses brigades made of four or five regiments with each regiment being made up of five "stands" which the majority of units represent with 2"x2" bases (artillery puts all five on one 4"x4"). Each brigade has an overall commander and initiative is handled with both dice and cards. Each regiment rolls a d6 at the start and then when it's time to activate units, you draw a card from 1-6. But brigade commanders can collect up all the dice from units near them and hand them back out as the numbers come up, so there's more control closer to your commander.
>>97227594>forced to watch WickedMy condolences, brother.
Wasn't there a Greek themed game in the making currently? Something skirmish scale I think, but I can't remember.
Dedicated Drizzt Do'Urden EditionDiscuss and post elves. Elf lore, gameplay, and art are all appreciated.QOTT: What drove you to elves specifically?
>>97227655>I wonder if drugs made by elves are more potent because they're so old and develop a resistance to it with over use so they have to develop harder and harder drugsHonestly, I think it'd be the opposite since elf societies are usually very serene and subtle, and in 40k elves are explicitly trying not to be hedonistic. Also, old people naturally have lower drug tolerances. As a drinker (not an alcoholic, I control it fine, I just drink frequently) I noticed that tolerance can lower with age and you have to rebuild it if you go a couple months without drinking.
>>97228261Cannot exist
>>97204078This guy looks cool
>>97224896With how long elves live, especially rich and magical ones who naturally have even longer lives, having a disfigurement is probably a much bigger deal. Like, she's going to have that scar for literal centuries. Kinda sucks.
>>97225049Wonder why you don't see more crusade-style clensings of Sylvania. It's literally a vampiric kingdom that raises zombies to attack their neighbors, seems like a perfectly valid reason to just martial as much of a unified front as you can and wipe the place.
