>What is /awg/?
A thread to talk about minis and games which fall between the cracks, or peoples' homebrew wargames.

The >>>/tg/hwg thread doesn't entertain fantasy (for good reason) and the other threads are locked to more specific games.
This thread isn't tied to a game, a publisher, or a genre, let's just talk about fun wargames. Any scale, any company, any miniatures.

>Examples of games that qualify.
A Song of Ice and Fire, Argatoria, Batman Miniature Game, Carnevale, Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings,
Deadzone, Dragon Rampant, Dropfleet and Dropzone Commander, Freebooter's Fate, Frostgrave, Gaslands, HeroClix,
Kings of War, Maelstrom's Edge, Malifaux, Marvel Crisis Protocol, Masters of the Universe: Battleground, Moonstone,
Oathmark, OnePageRules, Open Combat, RelicBlade, Rumbleslam, SAGA, StarCraft, Stargrave, Sludge, Urban War, Void,
Warcaster, Warmachine, Xenos Rampant, Xenotactics...
...and anything else that doesn't necessarily have a dedicated thread.

Simple rule to improve and balance wizards in OSR games: they can only memorize one casting of a given spell per day. You have 3 third level slots? You can cast one Fireball, not 2 or 3. Don't know any other 3rd level spells? Better go find some spellbooks. Hope you make your % chance to learn spell rolls (I won't bother addressing faggots who let wizards automatically learn new spells). God forbid you have to get more creative with your casting.

They are dumb. There are other ways to balance casters that don't involve half the party being underleveled or having to use shitty XP-based progression like it's an MMO where the players can fuck off to kill 1 XP rabbits for 60 sessions to level up.
>Skill Points are dumb
They aren't dumb, but they could have been handled better I think to prevent modifiers from getting out of hand so quickly. That said, I fixed this easily with my overhauls of 5.5's classes, Rogues get 6 proficiencies, Fighters get 5, other full martials get 4, half-casters get 3, full casters get 2, and you pick any skills you like from the list. Bards also uniquely get 3 given their weird support caster-rogue shit (but they lose access to Jack of All Trades. That is instead given to Rogue at level 1).

I wish it worked that way, but unfortunately what happens instead is, someone with a hypertuned damage build rushes the golem in melee screaming and gets 5 aces and kills the golem with like 40 damage while the rest of the table laughs hysterically.
I really wish it worked like that though. I can't remember the last time my Savage Worlds group actually used the trick fighting or test of wills rules. All they do is Wild Attack because it's objectively the best option to get 2 bonuses for 1 downside and usually their Parry is so high that even if they do Wild Attack the penalty doesn't actually affect them.

Army trait rules were a mistake. Back in my day all a sub-faction did was determine which colour you painted your models, and people liked it. All legion traits have done is lead to constant whining and complaints from entitled little shits like you, about how their army's trait isn't strong enough or doesn't have the "flavour" they think it needs to have, or whatever else. The only other thing it cause is WAACfags flocking to whatever is the legion with the currently strongest trait and pretend that they always liked that legion, honest, they just didn't get around to painting that legion before.

There are rumours that the 11th Edition Armageddon box will have new Primaris Librarian in it. That would be nice, as there is only one sculpt right now who is generic and not wearing tactical dreadnought armour. I was considering trying to convert Tigurius to be a Blood Angel Librarian for a little variety, and while looking over the parts I'd need to modify, something struck me:

I know the curled ram's horns have been part of the official Librarian badge since First Edition, but the version on Tigurius's banner seemed *really* familiar!

I'm asking because nearly everything I've read on the topic claims that around 80% of all fur (that includes fur for brushes) comes from fur farming. It's mostly from China and Russia, too, so you can imagine how utterly revolting the conditions and the entire process are. I sincerely can't even recommend checking this; it's one of the most vilest fucking things I've ever seen, and I'm saying this as someone who has seen plenty of dead people.

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:

It's because they're the masters of brainwashing and work on a long scale. They are the carrot while the rest of the Imperium is the stick.

That makes SO much fucking sense. Their severe "old bad new good" skew with everything from sculpts to balance changes / wanting even faster rules update churn than the absurd speed we currently have speaks to a MTG mindset of "fix the current fucked meta with the new set!" of every CCG out there.

They regularly sell Tolkien books at my workplace next to bibles and reprinted classics and copies of the constitution or art of war. Not just Tolkien, but Middle-Earth encyclopedias.
Tolkien is unironically arguably a part of western culture at this point, or respected on a literary standard
