Welcome to the New School Revolution General, the thread dedicated to the games inspired by the Old School Revival (mainly for zoomers that didnt grow up with B/X).

Broadly, NSR games encourage emergent narrative, external interaction, exploration and emphasis on interesting worlds and rules light mechanics.

If you are new to the NSR, welcome! Ask us whatever you're curious about: we'll be happy to help you get started.

Some NSR systems for example:
-shadowdark
-into the odd (electric bastionland and mythic bastionland)
-mörk borg (and all of this multiple hacks)
-mothership
-cairn
-troika!
-orbital blues
-FIST

>It's really funny that this is practically lost knowledge in this scene.
in the NSR scene or the general ttrpg scene?
I've noticed a lot of new players trying different stuff and not knowig that stuff, but if you're into it you probably know. Mainly if you've ever read or played it.
OSE is very popular among NSR creators as a default fantasy system when they don't know how to catalogue something and they want a wider audience.

>Have you actually read all of this cynical schlock?
I have! And greatly enjoyed it.

>Give it an honest rating out of 10
The writing goes down hill after Broken Realms Kragnos, with Broken Realms Morathi being the absolute peak of AoS imo, with 3rd being quite "meh" in terms of lore and plot.
The Dawnbringers stuff in particular is fucking awful until book 6 which reaches the amazing heights of almost OK. However, the 4th edition stuff is actually amazing.
I'm loving the current lore direction, the plot developments and it's actually got me liking Skaven which has never happened before. I'm very invested and can't wait to see where the lore goes.

1st ed lore - 7/10 good fantasy but hardly breath-taking

2nd ed lore - 9/10 some of the best fantasy I've had the pleasure of reading and it was genuinely a blast to see Morathi ascend, the siege of the Eightpoints by the Bonereapers, the ending of the Soul Wars by Teclis and Alarielle and so on.

3rd - 5/10 just dull, with no interesting lore developments and boring characters being introduced.

/tg/, I'm designing a campaign for my group.
The campaign consists from three acts. As a whole, they cover levels from 1 to 20.
What happens in the first act is immaterial for this thread.
In the very beginning of the second act, however, they will meet the big villain of the campaign, who decides that they're going to be a threat to his master plan and immediately kills them all right at the end of a gruelling dungeon. The player characters then go to Valhalla, meet not!Odin and then return to life with a divine quest.
Half of the second act will involve fulfilling this quest to pay not!Odin back for their resurrection. The other half involves revenge against the villain.

Now, obviously if they just reveal themselves, they'd just be killed again. So they'll be gently suggested to assume false identities and infiltrate the villain's massive army of mercenaries in order to foil his plan from the inside. By the end of the act, the villain's army will be gone, his personal power extinguished, and then he'll die as the final boss of the act.
That's the idea. However, I keep thinking about how it'll actually go. I have 7-9 dungeons in mind for the second act. That is a lot of sessions spent under secret identities, while everyone believes that they're dead. While the undercover arc could potentially be interesting, I'm also seeing the potential for it to be very exhausting to actually go through.

Should I just pre-emptively cut the "undercover" part to just 1 or 2 dungeons? It's going to be pretty difficult to change them on the fly, if I see that this story is not working.

Eh, 6 months to maximize the immuno stuff.
Formula from the jump is fine, though. Breast fed advocates mostly exist to keep it from dying out, but the truth is prior to formula tons of babies died from latching problems or other complications from breast feeding, and even into the neolithic there's evidence of humans expressing milk into animal skin to feed their babies. We've been beating nature for 10's of thousands of years.

Why don't you see it? Because it's a fiddly pain to do (though I do love it).

But 6e pretty well supported buildings due to selling you fortifications. There's even rules for buildings with multiple parts.

RT had some neat rules around it, and one suggestion was to draw the interior of a building on graph paper and move the models to it or otherwise track movement on it as a way to deal with models going into interiors.

The fact that they need power attack in the first place is what made them worse.
In most systems you could just pump your strength, get a big weapon and that's enough to deal solid damage. In D&D you must have power attack and then preferably to also have ways of offsetting the attack penalty. Mind you PF isn't really better in that regard.
>>
>>96535651
monster AC did not scale that much so you always had plenty of bonus bab to power attack with
>>
>>96535651
Power attack & combat expertise should have been baked in combat options available to everyone & the weapon focus tree should be free to fighters
>>
>>96536109
Yes and yes.

>>96536109
I have no fucking idea why Combat Expertise was a separate option from fighting defensively.

The constant debate over "Something's chasing the Tyranids!" or the "Tyranids were lured here by the Pharos!" when they're both single-source things that have never been mentioned since.

The longstanding Ork Logic bollocks where they parrot "They lose because they don't want to win!" and other such retarded statements, when they could just pick up the book and see its not rewriting reality, it's greasing its wheels.
>>
>>96535899
Yeah, while Pharos is what got the Tyranids' attention, what's REALLY attracting them is the Astronomicon.
Ironically, there's Tyranids very near Terra, the Genestealer malstrain from Necromunda. But, unlike the Ymgarl strain which are avoided and used as side-hoes, they refuse to even hear the Malstrain's call.

Skill list are retarded 90% of the time. 3/4/5e type games have one players Autosolve the encounter most of the time, or feel terrible when they roll a 3 and someone who just dipped the ability rolls a 20. Without pedantic skill lists you get far more players engaging with a social encounter or dungeon room and I get to reward and punish my players appropriately for nonlinear thinking or general idiocy . I often finding myself saying 'you need to pick a lock give me int or dex' instead of ' who has trapfinding?'
