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?

>>97234894i guess it's sort of NSR but it's a swedish d&d game from the 80s and its pretty OSR imo, besides the NSR general has nothing in it other than a bitter troll
>>97234928General tips>have a map for the players to fill in, doesn't have to be a hex map but something they can work with>have an at hand weather and encounter table that's easy to use>have a premade short list of usable terrain features/descriptions to draw on during encountersI found these breakdowns of hexcrawling useful.https://beyondfomalhaut.blogspot.com/2021/11/blog-hex-crawls-simple-guide.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC-h1haFSIA
Can give advice how to fuse together Fomalhaut and Yoon Suin? I will run Fomalhaut and want add Yooun Suin on far east. There are two reasons for this. First i like both setting, and second I want to add a really big city and Yun Suin with its Indian vibes seems like a great addition to the Mediterranean Greek/Arabic vibes of the main region.
>>97234955>>97234877>solo gamer wants to talk about anxiety It'll be okay. Don't prep the end, just set up the world a bit and let people explore. Explain those concepts at the beginning. They're going to have very different ideas about what's going on or the point of the activity than you, that's not a problem. No advice for that game, doubtful you'll get much traction with it here.
>>97235494I've used Yoon-Suin quite a bit. What about it were you thinking of using specifically? >Indianess The Hundred Kingdoms part is very India inspired, but wasn't a part I used at all. Its on the map but wasn't as interesting to anyone so we haven't gone there. Starting in the Yellow City worked well enough, generating an outsider's quarter with the tables gave me enough to work with and do an intro adventure. The hex content generation for Lahag was I think, in retrospecct compared to other hexcrawling I've run and read about, too crowded. There's basically an encounter every hex which themes with the jam packed jungle but felt like too much in play. >fomalhaut I've only used the Nocturnal Table and liked it quite a bit.

>>97235521>Is this bait?Nah, just want to find a balance between discard and something thematic and fun. Yeah it's not going to be very powerful, but that's not what I want to build. Idk maybe rogues and treasure tokens could work as well.
I've heard it advertised on YouTube a whole bunch, and it sounds pretty fun, but I haven't had time to play it yet.Has anyone played this game?
>>97233754That's my worry, too.A human's touch doesn't guarantee quality (just look at D&D 5e and pretty much everything on DriveThru RPG), but AI shit is notorious for being hilariously bad.I've been hesitant to spend time on this game because of how much AI has been involved in its promotion.
>>97231297>tg should I download this mobile slop game advertised using AI?are you gonna ask us if you should wipe after taking a shit next?
>>97233795It isn't a mobile game, it's a tabletop RPG game.
>>97231346I can just grab a Post-It note from my desk and write: "First Legendary Beast Master Rule - GM decides", then it's a TTRPG game.

>>97235143>but it does provide incentive not to indulge in power creep to sell cardsI remember when I was this naive
>>97235383Yugioh goes back and forth with this making archetypes extremely xenophobic and works really well when it does, but then they go and print shit like Habakiri every now and again.
>>97235461People who think a reset or rotation will "fix" the game aren't good at pattern recognition. Speed Duel was intended to be a soft reset and look at Duel Links now. Rush was intended to be a soft reset and look at the state of Rush now.
>>97233845>dark/fiend/0atk/effect is the most common monster statline with 80 some cards.Fact check?
>>97235383>You can't fix yugiohs problem without just banning entire mechanics or starting over and making a new gameI don't see that happening. Especially not a new game. There's not enough support in the West for two games (even if they brought it over Rush Duel would die on the vine), and they'd never outright jettison or restart the original game. And, again, resets alone do not guarantee a good game even when they're regular; they just help mitigate mistakes and can aid in preventing things from spiraling out of control while still encourzging players to buy new cards (which is what matters). I haven't played Rush Duel and know little about it, but Konami will still be Konami and I'm guessing Rush Duel reflects it.

>>97233412>peasantry need to dumpster diveI know financially well-off mortals who do it anyways. No matter your walk of life, I guess free shit is free shit. When I was a mortal there was a guy I worked with who owned three rental properties but still went into the dumpsters behind the dollar store to fish out children's toys that he gave away to co-workers.
>>97234732We have Mercury Lamp's dolls on the case. The problem with such high caliber rounds is that there isn't much of a body left, I've seen trains being more gentle.Here's what I'm allowed to share for the time being: it was a group of five males. One had a large Schwarze Sonne tattooed on his pectoralis major. Another had glass fragments of what were once 2 or 3 vials in his pocket, one crudely labeled "FENT", again we can't test this as they were broken and contaminated by one another and blood. What's left of them reeks of alcohol.Did this Palatine ghoul, embrace, care for, recruit from, organize, or had any connection whatsoever with neo-nazis and/or people involved in the fentanyl trade?Uncle The Devil Wears Me is walking back and forth the hallway, cane in both hands, ranting about some "zevel levan."Then again we deal with so many stupid people as of late, I can't even exclude the asshole thought the black sun was just a cool symbol, like your average American with a T-shirt with a Buddha, Om or Che Guevara on it.Can't they be just clueless biomass who had a case of fuck around and find out, just because this one night the house was quieter than usual?>>97234780YESSSSS>>97234802Yuck.
>>97234732You'll receive the surveillance footage as soon as this video editor stops ruining my unlife. For what it's worth there were no obvious external signs of Vicissitude. Now the dolls are looking on the inside, we'll send you pictures if they find anything.>>97234965I don't care if they're hobos, nazis, Sabbat, or God holding Satan's hand, if anybody comes looking for a war, I got plenty of war in me.
>>97234965>Yuck.I won't argue, but I will point out that sometimes one must get knee-deep in garbage or sewage to get a job done.

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.
>>97234703He's afraid someone on /tg/ would recognize his nasally voice from his original youtube channel, but the joke's on him: No one watched his first channel either.
>>97232339>OP is right about Coville btw
>>97232378>>Just run other systems because the players have to play (This is retarded)Matt Colville is right. 5e players are slop guzzlers, they may complain about you changing there slop, but most won't leave.>>97235185Man the amount of times the last goon standing is surrounded on all sides with the entire party kicking the shit out of them pretty high.

>>97231611>Barker wrote a sixth novel, Serpent's Walk, under the pseudonym Randolph D. Calverhall, an allusion to one of Barker's ancestors.[24][25][26] Serpent's Walk is a science fiction story,[27] presenting an alternate history in which SS soldiers begin an underground resistance after the end of World War II. A hundred years later, their descendants take over the United States of America.[28] The book's protagonist becomes the Führer and worldwide dictator of the Fourth Reich.[25] The book espouses the belief in an international Jewish conspiracy,[27] suggests the solution to the "Jewish question" is genocide, and extensively quotes Mein Kampf.[25] The novel was published in 1991 by National Vanguard Books, the book publishing division of the neo-Nazi group the National Alliance, which published white supremacist and neo-Nazi material including The Turner Diaries.[25][27][28]

Dungeon complete. 6 encounters before the party got a long rest (2 short rests in between). They’re level 4 now, and I honestly can’t wait for them to hit level 5 so I can throw the truly dangerous shit at them.

Which magic item does your current PC want for Christmas?
>>97233519I try not to visualize it because visualizing it usually sucks. Realistically probably you carry it in your hand or affixed diagonally to your huge backpack, and you pull a strap to drop the entire backpack as soon as combat begins.I like using houserules which make carrying capacity dramatically reduced, which solves the issue. You either carry the pole in your hand, or on your cart/mule, or you don't take it at all.
