>>97213141>>97213444Glad to know I’m not the only one who gets review comments of “but why is this article on the topic that it’s on rather than this completely different topic that personally interests me more”
>>97213141>>97213444Just wait until you come across an Egyptian or Saudi in the field of archeology. Archaeology that has absolutely nothing to do with anything in that entire region and zero relation to any Egyptian or Saudi history of any kind. Then it will become a very strict requirement to cite said Egyptian and Saudi individual's personal research if you want to keep your job.
It's been a while, but the university in Discworld suffered from wizards being wizards and just fireballing people higher up the ladder to get a promotion . It's not until they get a dean that is basically unkillable for wizards that they actually start doing more meaningful research.>>97214161I have heard nothing but terrible things about Archaeology and it's hellscape that they call academic papers
>>97212155>As someone with patents that got kicked out of the tech startupSorry that happened to you bro. But this is actually the perfect lesson for wizards. If you don't retain control of your own shit, people will try their best to take it from you. Secrecy and solitude is a pretty good method of control. Start your own company/wizard's tower.>tl;dr: l'enfer c'est les autres.

>>97214033Yeah... I was planning on going through all six gamebooks, but going over reviews it doesn't look like the next two are much better.That being the case, I'm just gonna skip ahead to the last one to round out December, as that's supposed to at least be alright. That okay with everyone?

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?

>>97179453What a weird and meaningless dichotomy. The purpose of characters is to beat adventures. I create characters that are built to do that. The "society" is not reral and doesn't matter at all, I don't interact with it when I play RPGs. I have a mission, and I complete that mission, and that's fucking it.

>>97214143/wodg/ itself seems to sort of be in a holiday slowdown anyway but it's comfy. If I had to be honest I think maybe schrecknet's been too long running and could benefit from a break the same way that was suggested with the gw threads
>>97214143More or less, I don't check very often but I just can't be bothered to engage with it anymore. Most if not all of the good old posters left.

Moloch's Fun Park 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.

>>97206915>>97206294Late response but Shovels are equipment, not weapons. Equipment only take up a hand if they explicitly say so in their description. Shovel does not. This is intended as the whole point of them being allowed to be used in melee is making units with them and no other melee weapons. Marid shovel is the budget melee option for Brazen Bulls that just wanna sit back and bombard.
>>97212145Next people will be asking why you can’t lasso enemies with mountaineering kits.
>most retailers setting up preorders for the minis we haven’t even seen yetBuying a mini; a purely visual item, without even knowing what it looks like is peak paypig
>>97208803>I figure the christian/muslim communities would just blame the jewish population and force them into hiding.Nothing in the setting really implies that, especially since it is known that the Templars were responsible for the Hellgate opening.The lore already gave hints that there are hidden fortresses they hold.
>>97194127Cheers for the great advice anon. Actually managed to find more than enough mini options for Stigmatic nuns.>>97212599In fairness, E-tool melee action is a well beloved trope, though it might risk game balance.

>>97213966I have played rome a few times because out of the three boxes I find it the simplest for me. I find that I hit endgame pretty quick and by midgame I have a very powerful engine going. There are a few constraining parts to them that make me have a few dead turns that increase as it goes later, but I think its user errorI also never play Bread and Circuses. I don't find that by the time it comes out there's utility because I'm not really needing unrest fixing by that point to lose a card when I'm already losing a lot of cards with their other cards. Im hoping that it shows Im playing the faction wrong if any anons want to chime in because it would cool to have to learn and play it different.Overall I would say they are pretty fun, and matching up against greece is a good time. But I do still think im winning consistently and doing it very early into becoming an empire, which is a shame because the thematic stuff for the faction I dont really get to interact with that is pushed in the faction description and stuff like this>>97214007Were you around like 10ish years ago? That was the golden age for about five years. It is very much not an enthusiast landscape anymore. Between yes the kickstarters and how many derivative games there are, plus the influencer and pop culture shifts, it's not in a great place.

https://files.catbox.moe/8v6fdk.pdfNew Plume UpdateReworked unpopular classes, removed most of the lore/art aside from the absolutely essential. Added a new 5th sexmove slot that covers instinctive lewd things. Most of my effort has just been deciding on the color of the new theme, and juggling the balance concerns of my more devoted GMs/players so I don't destroy their favorite playstyle in the process.added a TL;DR"This is a d12 system designed with PvP in mind, and uses sex DURING COMBAT whenever a grapple happens. "Sexmoves" deal massive damage and cannot miss, so combat is a tense match where both opponent are trying to "pick" their battles! Characters operate similar to "Pokemon" in knowing about 4 skills and 4 sexmoves in fights. Classes and Races only supplement your strategies, while your choice of Skill/Weapons matter MUCH more."I plan to release this book here for free, but will still charge money for the one on itch.io. I plan to write a solo module/gamebook and will be posting an HD version of the book on itch.io that I'll not release. The Lore stuff I took out will become a Lore Book of sorts, since people seemed to like it a lot.I'm posting this system here because I think it's good, and covers the fabled "sex combat" that's being discussed here so much. Plume's combat is like a dance between open combat, and initmate grapples. The reward for actually fighting is hitting your opponent's defense and maybe converting a stagger into a free grapple. Some enemies more focused on lewds will want to try to charm you or grab you without fighting, so there's a large degree of positioning in this lewd game.Since lewd gamers definitely have no issue role-playing and likely have experience, this book is MOSTLY crunch. It's pretty shallow, but swamped in various options. Just pick your moves, and build whatever character you want.
>run an advertisement for a game>get an application from this board>"Been playing for like 6 years so I'm not a newfag usually I make like schizo characters. Probably posting all day because this shit is really all I got and nothing does on in my life."Like, I appreciate the honesty but do you guys really apply to games like this and get accepted?
