What kind of fantasy monsters are you into? I like original abominations, standard humanoids/mythological creatures/giant animals are boring to me.

>>97240111Kinda hard, since the molds get fucked when the surface gets interupted
>>97240141What do you mean by this?
>>97240111The key is appropriate sized tools like dentistry or sculpting equipment or a needle. A hobby blade will be a little too big and comic looking. Just carve and chip away at it https://youtu.be/8I3lY0zQPbg?si=AjJRl11E-Oy-FLe5Is a good video for rust holes, people tend to just drill one hole rather than changing bits, using putty, etc
>>97240111Lightly score scratches with your hobby knife then go back in at a 45ish degree angle and cut out little gougesGo slowly and cut little bits at a time, you can always cut out more if you want deeper dings but you can't easily add material back if you go too deep
The new 40kay guy looks like somebody's stormcast to marine conversion, and not one of the good ones.
What's a character you always wanted to play and what's stopping you?
>>97238243FPBP.Would let play at my table./thread
>Selkie barbarian who cannot return to his tribe because his cloak was stolen by [thing relevant to the GM's plot] and he has to quest to recover it.I just haven't had a campaign he fits in.
I want to play a male harengon bard that is the most innocent cinnamon roll you can think of and has no idea on what sex is despite being raised in a brothel. Think Ichiban from Yakuza but somehow more innocent.
>>97238243Sauce for the pic? Image search is being ass
>>97240453I'm not sure myself, i saved it from a long ago /tg/ thread about the jp localisation of becmi.
Which one do you recruit and why?
>>97227812I realize it does come off kind of stream of conscious. To summarize here, in recruiting a church member you intend on being a Cleric, the only real choice is a priest. If you're aiming for someone of a higher rank, it should either be under a dire situation or like an end of campaign recruitment.On the other hand, the friar classes should be for church members that are not using traditional holy magic, so like a church assassin in a particularly edgy church or a church-aligned fighter or monk.
>>97226577God ain't real and all of those are charlatans
>>97237270An unfalsifiable claim. Try better nog.
>>97237218>In what fantasy landOne which you can make however you want, like I said before.
>>97227968>Plot Twist: The new pope is secretly an evil necromancer bent on becoming a demilich
>Setting Basically late medieval to early Renaissance Europe >Magic Not really available to players, expect in the form of extremely rare high level magical weapons and items. BBEG should possess magic abilities >Player characters European presenting male fighters only, maximum one low level hedge wizard or shaman>Races All NPCs and PC should be human, finding a non-human village like elves should be extremely rare, unlikely, and magical experience
>>97222512Op, just play the Pendragon grand campaign with "High Chivalry" cranked to max.Myself I prefer the Dark Ages.

Financially it exists because TT wants to put as much attention on the series as they can, but gameplay wise now that I've looked into it Wixoss's level system actually fits a magical girl anime pretty damn well.

Merry Xmas /exg/! Or whatever holiday that would be the equivalent in Creation! Ligier is bringing presents and it would be best if you accepted them all, lest you be turned to radioactive coal.Anyways I want to play an Infernal that hits the enemy with as many penalties as possible so my team mates just wipe the floor with them. But I also want to play a performance supernal infernal. Decisions decisions...

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
>>97238809That's every fucking class though lmao
>>97240282The whole system is a lopsided mess. I don't think they ever got around to playtesting any of it anywhere even close to the standards you're supposed to expect from a system someone is asking money for.
>>97240324No, I'm talking about *every* class, especially including every edition of DND. ACKS has been play tested endlessly, I think you're a just a salty bitch who would rather be a Karen than a gamer
>>97240434nta, but what is it that makes Dex such a god-stat in most games.+AC is nice but aside from that what's the deal?
>>97240439Initiative, AC, and ranged hit. Dex seems to be the god stat since it does more than any other stat, covered offense defense nland utility.

On the spectrum of rubber forehead aliens to complete starfish aliens that are made out of silica and breathe methane, where are YOU specificially comfortable with. Does there come a point where an alien becomes too weird for you to "relate" to in order to include them in your games as playable races?Personally I am fond of aliens that look plausibly like they could have evolved in a different world and have no distinguishable lineage to earth life, even if they share some superficial features.
>>97240164Which system?
>>97240164Rubber forehead.The pool of people able to come up with something that's weird but still makes sense is pretty small. The pool of those that can make a half decent story out of those ideas is miniscule. Those that can do so on the fly in a game while engaging other people are probably non-existent.Decent rubber forehead aliens should have some sort of distinct psychology and history rather than just, "+1 to DEX and the guy is blue", but they still have to be playable by a regular human.
>>97240348Even besides just gameplay constrains trying to "play" as some sort of super weird ayylmao that doesn't operate like anything we'd recognize as alive etc, there is also the whole roleplaying aspect. It is already bit difficult for most people to roleplay as nonhumans, so the stranger you make an alien the more difficult/outright impossible it would be to roleplay as an ayylmao even to the extent it is possible to roleplay as something that has nonhuman psychology.Most aliens in fiction, even nonhuman looking ones tend to be pretty humanlike in their behavior and thinking, especially when we look at more popular scifi, just for relatability reasons. The elites from Halo for example map quite well to basic "honorable warrior culture" tropes we already have.
>>97240388I don't think that an alien race needs to necessarily be explicitly just rubber forehead/star trek style alien in appearance for it to be possible to roleplay as one. The question imo is far more to do with how weird/strange the behavior and psychology of the alien is as long as there also remains some commonalities in morphology in terms that we can still understand how they move around and manipulate stuff on pretty intuitive level. As in, as long as the alien has some sort of manipulation appenages and means of locomotion that are understandable to us, I doubt the ayylmao being different from our bodyplan in itself is that big of an issue. Essentially, I think that it is the roleplay/psychological aspect of trying to play as some sort of sapient ayylmao octopi that would be the real challenge as opposed to what the ayylmao in question actually looks like.

I have a dwarf blood bowl team primed up, but I'm having a hard time deciding on a color scheme for them. Has anyone ever painted armor like stone? I was thinking like a marble/granite look would be neat but not sure how that would turn out.
Recently I was thinking about alternative combat systems.I remember someone talking about instead of HP the payer has a Jenga tower and he needs to remove peaces once hit, the skill is to remove peaces without the tower collapsingSo I started thinking.For example what if the combat somehow involves cups and balls?Instead of a D20+modifier nonsense why not change it up? Why not give a player 10 balls or legos or whatever and to win an encounter the player needs to land 2 balls in 1 cup?There can be variants of this like a super hard encounter demands the player lands all 10 balls or what about reducing the size of the cup with the difficulty of combat?What if we implement a fate system from Talisman for the players? What if legendary bosses have something like that for themselves? And can negate the players victory? What if different monsters use different "balls" like for example some bone golems will be you throwing legos into cups and zombies are aluminum balls while naga can be gummy bears? That actually makes the monster feel different and not a copy pasted set of numbers. Also the different aerodynamics of these "balls" are part of the fun.Comment too long.

>>97238495>Daily reminder that D&D is great for filtering out schizos and human trash!Yeah, it seems there IS something good with that game if it filters tards like you.
>>97240222Oh trying to be smug are we?You know what is the best part of it all?I am not stuck in a retarded campaign that is over 11 years long!I actually can play games and have 100s of adventures while you are stuck leveling your your idiotic characters and the game being trash because the GM will never allow any of you to die because then you fucks piss and shit yourself because you realize you wasted 11 years of your life on this retarded 1 campaign. While I can have a new adventure every session and no one is afraid that their le precious characters will die! I can even play other games!Games that do not have a ass backwards system that wast time on irrelevant bullshit that both fails to simulate anything real and is to obsessed with le accuracy to make the combat take forever!

TTRPGs are a social game first and foremost. That means there's unspoken rules that vary from group-to-group, but a common one is "acceptable breaks from sensibility" in the name of game experience or table cohesion. It's the kind of thing that keeps the bitter rivalry between the Elf and the Dwarf largely to amusing banter and not outright PvP. It's an innate instinct: nobody likes to spoil the atmosphere, because that's a large part of the appeal of a good game (alongside the freedom).That being said, there are also times when the group's course of action is patently retarded and you can't meaningfully push back on it without feeling like you'd cause a big fight over nothing (and then feel obligated to keep comrades away from the consequences), or something a character cannot abide has to be "sanded over" somewhat, or you as the GM don't want to cultivate the feeling that you're antagonizing your players by hitting them over the head with "you murdered someone because it was convenient and didn't even take measures to cover your tracks" or whatever unhinged misadventure occurred because something about the player position of the table cause human beings to lose IQ. Have you ever had that feeling? I think I see enough greentexts to think it's common.
