ITT: secret knowledge your party would kill for, either to get it, protect it, destroy it, hide it, whatevermaybe just playing delta green would scratch that hitch but I'd like to avoid intergalactic reality warping monsters and keep things tech noir / cyberpunk related because the setting is eclipse phase with nechronica and cowboy bebop shoehorned in but anything goes reallybtw the twist for my players is that they don't know they're onboard a generation ship but I'm looking for ideas to get them on a shitload of false leads kthxbye xoxoxoxo merryxmas & hppy new yr btwfuck this new captcha so much wtf
>>97222260>they have no idea and it's of no relevanceThen why would you expect them to care? Why would they kill for this knowledge if it's of no relevance to them or anyone they've ever interacted with? It doesn't affect them and they can't do anything about it.
>>97223124I don't expect them to careIt's just something in the background for extra flavor that will probably lead to an 'oh shit' moment further down the road but what I'm asking here is for ways to divert their attention elsewhere for a little longer

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.

>>97221870It was prequels if done by someone that thinks Star Wars sucked, aliens are stupid, space ships are dumb, and the series should just be a thinly veiled vehicle ton complain about politics. Also couldn't help but notice the show just dropped the whole looking for his sister thing, and forgot all about it while expecting the viewer to forget too. And we never did learn why no one can know about the Lord of the Flies planet Andor came from or why it was significant.
>>97221870Same, really liked it. A bit hamfisted but doesn't matter if you're not shamed by empires existing and doing empire things. >>97223685Not enough time, there was the war part of starwars. Personally glad there was less quaint child savages garbage. The main character was the most boring part. More aliens would have been good though. Limited spaceship warfare in the early stages of insurrectionist conflict makes sense. They're ramping up to that, doesn't happen until R1 and the OT, but a third season of the war actually escalating and kicking off would have been better, given it more room to breath and start including wider non-human conflict.
>>97223685Thank you for submitting your feedback. A representative may reach out to you in 1-2 business days if we have any further questions.This is an automated response, you do not need to reply.
>>97220965It's one of the few Fractalsponge redesigns I adore. The original Torpedo Sphere is just a big testicle. Fractal actually made it look like something ILM would have made for the OT.
>>97223685Kek, truePeople who like Andor should just go watch any other generic cyberpunk shit. It isn't Star Wars. It lacks any of the charm and fantasy of Star Wars. And the fact that anyone pointing this out gets shitty Disneycuck spam about "muh realism, you need lightsabers" is so pathetic. As if there aren't other SW products that don't have Jedi and Sith and yet still feel like the actual franchise and not a hamfisted political thingI mean just look at this. It made Coruscant look like an even commier version of NYC. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

But if that is random, then why not roll and have it clarified then and there? The premise is the same, except its not clarified before you enter the world.Also, on top of that, you can be a straight up villain or anti-villain if you want, in which case, your nemesis has to be a superhero (naturally).>>97223875>strawmanningNot what I said, but I guess that doesn't matter anymore?

I would like to talk about the Chronicles of Darkness game line Deviant: The Renegades, or more specifically, one major upcoming supplement. Deviant was released in late 2021, and has had three additional sourcebooks since then. A new supplement, Black Vans, has been in playtesting for a while, and is currently being previewed.I am not being paid or sponsored to promote this book in any way. I am just very fascinated by it, and indeed, I already ran a mini-campaign using the playtest material.Deviant is, by default, a game about playing angsty, scarred superheroes who either fight world-manipulating conspiracies or work for them. Black Vans is a toolkit full of variant rules, quick NPC creation, variant character types, and variant genres. These variants range from the minor to the dramatic, completely overhauling what were once non-negotiable, foundational themes and mechanics. Maybe your character is not angsty or scarred at all, perhaps they are a """""regular human""""" like John Wick or Batman, or the campaign might have nothing to do with world-manipulating conspiracies.These variant genres include cyberpunk, high fantasy, post-apocalypse, space opera, and superhero emergence.This is a beefy supplement. For example, one chapter alone dedicates 38,000+ words to playing other monsters of the Chronicles of Darkness: Beasts, changelings, demons, Sin-Eaters, hunters (entirely separate from the variant rules for """natural""" superpowers), mages, mummies, Prometheans, vampires, and werewolves. No additional supplements beyond Deviant are necessary; the rules are self-contained, allowing the group to play a monster mash of an urban fantasy setting without needing a daunting 7+ books. And yes, they are supposed to be balanced against one another, so a vampire in the same group as a full-fledged mage is probably some older Kindred.(Continued.)
>>97221178Indeed, this degree of nuance is one of the major reasons why DTR is such a resounding success, while aforementioned BTP, which plays at nuance by never really committing to anything (i.e. many beasts say they exist to teach humanity lessons through nightmares, but in practice this is mostly just an excuse to justify their innately harmful existences) as a means of trying to cover up how incredibly shallow it actually is, sucks its own ass so hard it turns inside out.
>>97221178>>97221242Yet another point of nuance.Even in the best-case scenario of Renegades fighting some super-duper evil conspiracy, there are still so many innocent dupes and catspaws in the way. Let us take Standing 3 Corvalis Chemicals, for example, a stereotypically evil chemical company.Most of the people working there are simply wage slaves. They may be dimly aware that they are working for some "evil" corporation, but then, what huge corporations are not? Do these people really deserve to die when a bunch of Renegades storm a conspiracy Node with grenades, Storm Caller, and other devastating AoE attacks?This is precisely the point of Deep Dive's Kindly Ones, a Standing 7 conspiracy. They are dedicated to taking down the rest of the Web of Pain. Some are moderates, and some even try to eliminate evil conspiracies peacefully. The rest of the Kindly Ones are extremists who absolutely do not care about collateral damage, and think nothing of blowing up Nodes and everyone inside them.
>>97220998>>97221065Interesting write up anons, thank you. I'll probably still play oWoD but I'll be checking out Deviant on the side for some content Since I'm perma ST
>>97221483Deviant is CofD sadly...
>>97221143Does it have any alternative to the whole touchstone system? Because to me it feels a bit limiting that the only possible motivations you're allowed to have in the game is hating some specific guy, and "protecting your friends".
Do you prefer to make characters that are built to thrive within society, or characters that are built to be as independent from society as they possibly can be?

>>97222635>>97223267Cool, thanks. I just finished reading the player core, and was thinking about which adventure path to run for my group, and was hoping early 2e like Abomination Vault was still cool, but now I just feel bad lol.
>>97223649By default, PF2e is just made for the Modern Audience(TM). You aren't going to find anything "cool" or Made For Gamers anywhere. There was a pretty clear shift in how Paizo wanted the Pathfinder brand to be known as, and it definitely started before 1e finished production.And realistically, 1e or 2e, you always want to fine-tune the APs. You aren't going to get 6 books released in one year without the entire thing being upheld by jank. If you feel like you want to sex up the NPCs or excise the WOKE out of social encounter, it is all up to you. It is bullshit you have to, but I'm not going to pretend you wouldn't be doing similar work if Paizo was still the crew that made you skin alive drow and wear their bodies as disguises to enter the Not-Underdark.Related note: I would avoid the early 2e APs up to and maybe including Abomination Vaults. They were still trying to figure out how 2e meta really works and they all have some hideously balanced encounters and multiple premises that just immediately stop being relevant for pretty boring adventures.
>>97223264It sounds similar to ablative armor and shield plating except it's not tempHP and blocks hits that are just above your AC.https://2e.aonprd.com/Equipment.aspx?ID=1102https://2e.aonprd.com/Equipment.aspx?ID=1103It's a neat idea, doesn't break itself on crits. What kind of other items could go into its slot? Is this just a must have or is there competition?
>>97223748>What kind of other items could go into its slot? Is this just a must have or is there competition?Mechs are built out of parts and parts have "Slots". Slots are basically weapons slots which represent both Bulk and Hands necessary to wield. A one handed sword uses one slot, a two handed rifle uses two slots and a two handed heavy gatling gun uses 3 slots. You're basically using up one weapon slot (usually out of 5-6, with 2 of them being your two hands) as a shield instead of having an additional weapon (and you'll want to have weapon variety because there are no classes, and ammunition costs money)There are normal shields too and mechs have Shield Block and Quick Draw from the get-go, but you'll mostly want to spend your reaction with other much more useful thingsThe idea is that repairing the shield is less expensive than repairing the mech's HP, so it's a good option if the player doesn't have any interesting weapons left to pick and wants something to up their survivability without sacrificing action economy. I could also make variants that have more HP but cover less AC, or have more hardness but less HP.
