>>97229905>I'm pretty sure Not off to a good start >>97229901Thanks for letting me know you're never played
>>97229864None that I know of; again, if we agree that wizards are as rare in a Napoleonic setting as in your average fantasy setting and not so ridiculously powerful that any other kind of support for infantry would be pointless in comparison then it's fine, otherwise I just can't see any reason to have anything but them around to hit enemies from a distance if that's all you need to crash opposing armies,as in here >>97229646Napoleonic armies with a wizard on each side doing their thing is an interesting idea; one with full platoons of them is just regular high tantasy
>>97229936I just double checked, they can shoot two kinds of missiles, a fireball equivalent to a large catapult and a lightning bolt equivalent to a field gun. They do get other spells though and are better than a literal catapult because of them. But the fireball itself lands like a catapult.
>>97229601If you accept that a wizard can exist in a setting with guys with swords n shit without invalidating them entirely then you should be able to accept a wizard existing in a setting with guns n shitm Unless you are being intellectually dishonest and willfully obtuse just to have an argument because you are bored and crave human interaction. So again, fuck off cretin.

Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy? >A world rocked by cataclysm>landscapes filled with chaos and wonder>mage storms>An enduring mystery; what happened, and what happened in the intervening centuries?>An atmosphere of hope and renewal, as heroes rise, and mysteries are investigated.>Darkness and evil await in corners and ruins, like pools of dank water waiting for the sun>the brink of a New Age Interesting setting? What elements would you include? I'm just gonna throw zombies at them.
>>97225972>dragon's dogma I'll check it out. Thanks anon. Good luck with your gameworld, sounds neat.
>>97227988>Your concession has been acceptedI already knew you and all the other /wbg/ rejects never want to talk about actual games, so you don't get to pretend to be in the right.
>>97227995Which games are being talked about, then?Where are the posts talking about how this setting has been used for actual play, and about how its presented challenges are being overcome?All I see is shit that could easily be applied to a non-interactive medium, aside from the kvetching about being asked to talk about games.
>>97229479>never want to talk about actual gameOh, we tried, multiple times. Don't forget that games are made of settings and systems, and you keep refusing the former so it goes nowhere with you. But thanks for once again trying to distract from your L, and once again for your concession.
>>97228287>The point was that disasters and falls in general are common enough in every age and every society that attributing all modern fantasy to the roman empire is socially and culturally retarded.That would be the case if fantasy wasn't predominately medievalesque. But it is.

I am about to receive for free quite a large haul of greeks and persians in 1/72. Two old sets from Zvezda, including an entire castle !What system would be best to use for running 20mm ancients ?
Does anyone have a size comparison between victrix and Perry and wga napoleonics? Also I’m fucking disgusted at how only Perry seems to have Spanish models.
>>97224029>But seriously: Clash of spears or saga?I have an opinion about this, and if you can go a whole thread without posting dumb coomslop, I'll give it to you.
>>97229877when I asked serious questions without the coomslop I was totally ignored.Litterally no one cared who I was before I posted the booba
>>97229770Ooh noo, only the best company with the most affordable prices and highest quality miniatures produces exactly what I want, what am I gonna do!!!
>take soulless Primarishit model>insert classic Forge World MkIV SOVL>??????>PROFIT!And the best part is, because the precedent established by Games Workshop Group v. Chapterhouse Studio explicitly protects compatible third-party accessories, there is nothing GW can do about it but cry and exclude them from their subsidized events.

Do you guys mostly play solo or with a group?
>>97229189Both. I think the game is actually best at 2 or 5 with a gm and you just pass around the monster controller tile like normal. Solo can be enjoyable but gce content starts pushing it for me. Scribe app is a godsend there but always feels a little less soulful tracking everything digitally.
How do you like your mutants?Do you like them looking more like anthros or circus freak shows?
>>97229617You wouldn't understand, because you don't play anything.
>>97229305>It's an open discussion after allI don't see any discussion happening here, though.
>>97229665Don't project your nogames status on other people like a pathetic loser.
>>97229808You're laying it on too thick. Not believable at all to get that defensive if you weren't just here to talk about your thinly veiled extra orifice fetish.
>>97229681/tg/ is pretty bad for those. Though I'm running a session in a discord game where the player characters got sent to a post-apocalypse world with both varieties of mutant and are working to gain their trust. And it's kind of funny because most of players are playing what most of /tg/ would classify as "freakshit" characters, but they're given marginally more trust than the humans (who interact with them by covering their faces, needing to do so due to the the shitty air anyways) due to how the mutants consider them to be more "natural looking" than the humans.
In your game, do you treat bows as strength- or dexterity-based weapons?

Would love to share some YTers I like to use for inspiration. Looking for anyone you find helpful. Preferably smaller creators and not restricted to 5e. I’ll submit three that I really enjoy while I’m doing prepFirst I’ll submit is Desk and Dorks. The channel is made by a medieval historian and combines his knowledge of subjects to enhance games. I particularly like his take on Bronze Age fantasy and building better town guards
>>97228249Ok, i'll give them a chance. Thanks anon.
>>97225265>The Chekhov technique is an acting method developed by Michael Chekhov, a prominent actor and director. It emphasizes a "psycho-physical" approach, where emotions are expressed through physical gestures. This technique encourages actors to connect their inner feelings with external actions, allowing for a more dynamic performance.>to generate payoff and curiosity loops to keep players hooked on your ideasDid you mix terms up? How does a theatrical, gesticulating performance generate payoff, hook your players to you ideas, or create curiosity loops except maybe to put your sanity into question. Those are all realms of the writer. Do you imagine blowing their minds with your acting or what?
>>97225250>Good>YouTubersNo such thing.Also, don't you have a separate board for this shit?

>>97225813>account based in summersetI don't keep orcs as tools in my fields because of their beauty, I give two shits of what their faces look like, unlike the cats they don't take skooma or moon sugar when you ain't watching them and the lizards who keep fucking running away into the sea and get eaten by some shark or whatever lives down there. No I keep them because they are strong tools and as long you beat them every once in a while, they keep in line and treat you like as the big chief those stronghold fuckers because they respect only strength, hell I can just ask one to join me in bed and they simply agree, because I'm their chief And yes sometimes they do have to wear a bag over their head so I don't feel disgusted so shut up N'wah

Welcome to the New School Revolution General, the thread dedicated to games derived from the OSR movement.>What is NSR?>NSR is a subcategory of the OSR, it mostly follows the same play style but experiments further with the mechanics and settings.>Broadly NSR games have a gm, a living world, are rules light, deadly and focus on emergent narrative, interaction and exploration.>What is this thread NOT for?Meta discussions or drama of the games and its creators aka shadowboxing with twitter, reddit and the OSRG (frens with osrbros)>stay on topic>gamesShadowdark, into the odd, mausritter, cairn, mörk borg (and its hacks), dungeon crawl classics, mothership, knave, troika!, whitehack, blackhack, old school essentials (we know this is just a retroclone), etc. >links, resources, more games!, etc:https://pastebin.com/0W8WmbCk (BROKEN we're working on it) Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97226602We mostly talked about mothership, which had enough hype to get enough people playing it a bit. The rest is a lot harder to get into beyond very basic dungeon outline or room content advice and even then mechanical distinctions in a lot of nsr is all over the place so the discussions get very vague and abstract. Which is feasible for a bit but one can only say >make sure the room has interactivity in some many ways.
>>97226610>>97227753Its cross compatibility that most of the fanatics are missing the point of. One of the highlights of actual osr material is that its cross compatible. You can run B1 in it with minimal effort and you can run any module from it with Basic with minimal effort. There can be much wailing and gnashing of teeth about what that effort entails but most of the nsr systems get far away enough it is more effort than with a retroclone to the extent it may very well be a different game. Being a different game is okay, its just harder to tie in or for the wider community to get much out of. Oh there we go. NSR just takes, it doesn't contribute. lmao We're the orcs.
>>97229467If we're being honest a big problem is also that a lot of NuSR enthusiasts really are "collectors" who don't run the games they buy, ie nogames paypigs. That's the unfortunate reality: many of these games are *primarily* reading material for guys who buy them instead of Funko Pops. Which means a significant part of any given print run never gets used, which further reduces the available conversation about those games.
