KJ in France, I do apologise on behalf of my countries postal service. Your parcel has not moved in the system since December 7th, I have put in a request to investigate this but I dont have a lot of hope

I have a feeling that every single postal service is more or less screwed up. Mine is infamous for no longer even delivering packages, just notes (officially that "nobody was home", even when people were inside and waiting) and doing essentially less for more (package delivery is usually slower than courier services and cost more).

>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 not
TC 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.

Presumably the name was resurrected by a resurgent Scythian cultural/ethnic identity at some point in the thousand years of divergent history. Hell, they might be a buffer state that was just made by the Golden Khanate. Alternatively, it might just be what people call them regardless of their actual name, since they might not be a unified state, which seems likely.

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:

Mythic Rakshasa Maharaja pisses off a god. Said god is aware of xenomorphs and kills said Rakshasa with a xenomorph, causing said Rakshasa to be reincarnated as a predalien style Mythic Rakshasa Maharaja King Alien horror bound to the god's will and forced to serve said god eternally as his personal assassin.

1. What new powers might said rakshasa gain? DM said something about it having absolute mastery of reincarnation. What would that even possibly entail?
2. How would said rakshasa feel about his unique situation?
3. How would the world react to the existance of this abomination?

DM plans to make him an enslaved demigod and the big bad of our setting (fantasy/horror/sci-fi).

Have you tried Space Gits? It's an unusual skirmish game by Mike Hutchinson (made Gaslands). It seems to be the ultimate casual skirmish that you play while chugging beer.

A lot of mechanics are dexterity based, for example instead of losing health or wounds, your fighters add D6's to their dice tower, which has to be moved alongside them (and when it drops over, they drop down).
Shooting is also quirky - you roll dice equal to the number of shots and then trace lines between a shooter and each die to see if you hit the target. Landed shots use die's result, so a single roll is made to-hit and to-wound, which I think is neat.

I'm going to try it this thursday. My only two complaints so far is that close combat seems bland (its basically rock-paper-scissors) and it's really easy to deny it by spamming shove. My other complaint is that the rulebook's art is atrocious vomit.

Everything else checks out though, it even seem to have a basic campaign system.

i did try it (the demo pdf they gave for free)
the thing is being dextrity based, can make it really inbalanced
you throw the dice to decide the shooting angle, but, of course, its not the same, throwing the dice 5 cm over the board than 15cm.

it was okish to try, but i didnt really like it, you can cheese it a lot without even trying, if i get the full pdf i may read it out of curiosity, but i dont think i will play it again
just use painted miniatures and nice terrain, and at least you will have some nice visual apeal

>>97223296
>makes you sound like marketing.
Sorry, this wasn't my intent. I just like the game's premise and I'm a huge fan of Gaslands and Mike's games, so I was excited to post it here. I agree that it potentially could get boring quick, so I want to try it IRL.

I've watched 2 battlerepports on youtube, and it looked fun, although in both reports people kept messing up the rules.
Also after re-reading the PDF I'm stunned that there isn't any clear instructions from how to actually do the dexterity involved stuff to avoid cheesing the system; for example, when moving a dice tower nothing in the book says that you cant use a second hand from holding it together as you move your tower. I'm going to agree on some restrictions with my opponent before the game.
>>97224046
I guess this counts, although this seems more like an attempt to save time from doing an extra roll. Looks cool though.

Also holy fuck, the captcha is somehow even worse now.

NTA but I get what he says. Some games you want to play to fuck around and socialize. In some you want to concentrate on trying to outplay your opponent, if the game has any tactical depth ofc; something like classical battletech.

Wanted to talk about advice on GMing, settings you prefer, and styles or issues you as a GM have. I generally tend to prefer dark fantasy or sci-fi settings rather than trying something a little different.

I also tend to have a style, depends on the system though, where i have a combat heavy session or two and then a more intrigue/exploration focused session. I have been working on how to better balance games I run, but trying to tie that to timing a game session gets tricky at times.

Another issue I noticed is that puzzle solving or investigative games can be a lot harder for a player to get into the mindset for than the dm. It is easy to think everything you planned makes sense when you thought it out in your head but the players might not have the same line of thought.

Almost all the problems I see people have with RPGs are communication problems. Talk with your fucking players. Note that that means listening as well. Be clear what you expect from them, what you want the focus of the game to be, what sort of tone you want, and so on. Don't expect them to read your mind.

Be a Master of both paths my son

World path) take the OSR pill, as in internalizing the following truth:
- be like an Arena Master and a Referee, not a Director. Your job is to throw the PC in the scenarios you engineered, to move the set pieces and react to your players decision accordingly, not to be an illusionist altering the threads behind your screen to force your predetermined and inescapable decisions on the pc;
- keep the world around the pc moving, the osr specific tool here is to keep strict track of time in all dimensions. Just as for the microcosm of combat rounds use calendars for days (where to keep track in advance of weather, factions actions and events to be) and proceduralized turns for explorations;
- be callous but just, learn to advertise and telegraph dangers but never shy away from them, instead of fixing mistakes in post (fudging dice, use failing forward and deus ex machina tricks) convey openly the risks beforehand leaving ALL the responsability weight on the players decisions alone, make their agency truly matter;
- treat combat (and by extension all sorts of scenarios) as a war and not as a sport, make terrain matter, make features matter, make morale matter, make psychology matter, make any of the pc interaction matter. The players are traversing a real field, not a theme park with triggerable events and puppets;
- focus on a (per adventure) narrow theme, ask yourself what your game will be about. Hunting monsters? Tomb raiding? Street gangs war? The more specific the better.

[Part 2/2]

Story path) take the Hickman manifesto pill as in internalize the following truth:
- have the players engaging with the world on a deeper level than what the game focus presents. Ask them a poignant, short and relevant reason (that may be honest to themselves or not) for their characters motives;
- there should be overachieving events in motion the effects of which should influence the characters microcosms (and their decisions influence these events back), have them tackle with this spontaneously unfolding narrative;
- make the world have verisimilitude, don't just throw random dungeons and encounters in random locations but try to make sense of them within the context of the world, even in post if necessary. Make notations of these reasons to keep this internal consistency for yourself and not to explain the world to your players. Leave them to make head and tail of it by themselves but reasons should exist nevertheless;
- overarching events should culminate within 1 or 2 game session tops in a satisfying manner (as in resolutive). Make extensive use of in media-res to initiate the game and keep the pacing snappy!
