Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to TSR-era D&D, derived systems, and compatible content.

Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons as played in the game's first decade — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching meta-plots 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.

I'll offer an explanation on Braunstein/BroSR play, hope people here don't mind. I'm not one of them, just an interested observer.

Basically, the BroSR is interested in how to make rpg campaigns more fun and engaging, for the greatest number of people (echo OD&D: "4--50 players") and for the longest time possible.

Their definition of a Braunstein is "multiple independent actors acting in conflict under a fog of war". They claim this is the secret sauce for continued, almost addiction-like player engagement.

RPG campaigns should therefore look to incorporate braunstein dynamics as much as possible. Characters should be acting independently from each other in downtime, while coming together into various cooperating teams/parties each session. But the party is not monolithic; it can change and come into conflict with other parties.

Braunstein elements can be implemented as 1) one-off larp/diplomacy-like sessions where players are assigned roles/characters (not necessarily "session characters") and try to gain as much as possible as that character under a fog of war maintained by the ref, 2) weekly downtime downtime orders submitted to the ref, either as a character or a faction (the latter being "patron play", now out of fashion), or 3) month-long "always-on" events where orders can be submitted whenenver and are processed ASAP by the ref(s). In all cases, the actual RPG rules should be used to resolve conflict, if possible.

Braunstein elements necessitate strict timekeeping linked to the real-world calendar a) to get a handle on what's going on when, b) to make sure the resource of time is being handled fairly (important if players are working at cross-purposes), and c) to make the long-term passage of time predictable for everyone without having to ask the ref every time.

Conversely, it was observed that playing with a 1:1 time rule encourages players to pursue independent goals, making Braunstein interaction likelier.

Will write more if there is interest.

>>96460502
>>96460515

Thanks Anon, I'll write more.

I left off at 1:1 time. Not misunderstanding this is crucial. 1:1 time means that a session starts on the game day equal to the actual real-world calendar day the session is played in. Characters can still "play into the future" as much as they want, but they will be "locked out" of future sessions until the real-time calendar catches up.

Similarly, if we do a one-day delve this session and come back to town, this grants characters an amount of days of downtime equal to the number of days until next session. So we start seeing how 1:1 time enables longer independent downtime projects that will sometimes come into conflict.

Another advantage of 1:1 time is that all the weird AD&D downtime rules and time penalties actually get used and generate interesting gameplay and situations that can even serve as adventure hooks for the next session.

The third ingredient for BroSR play is an easy and solid system for mass battle resolution, and the encouragement to not be afraid of playing out such battles. I think it's quite clear how something like this arises from high-level Braunstein dynamics with 1:1 time and fog of war. I think posters here already appreciate the advantages of having such a system in place.

Historically, we see either the use of Chainmail, or of 1:10 scaling. The latter is similar to the "brutal scaling" idea within the noob guide, but has a couple of differences. a) the time frame is left unchanged at 1 round = 1 minute, b) HP and damage for 1:10 mass units are averaged, sp that the only random factor is the to-hit roll, c) hero-types are allowed to attack mass units by dividing their damage by 10 (exception: AOE attacks), and take 10 times standard damage from such units.

how does 1:1 time even work though? Does your DM call you up at 3 AM in the morning demanding you deal with this werewolf random encounter?
>>
>>96460742

1:1 time is not minute-by-minute, but day-by-day. Also, it is flexible in specific ways.

Scenario: The players encounter werewolves while hex-crawling. The way to resolve it can be as follows.

a) we're playing in a session, so the werewolf encounter gets resolved in the session. The players hex-crawl for another 3 game days, and end the session. 3 days from now these characters will start accruing downtime till the next session.

b) we're playing a downtime braunstein where some force has encountered werewolves as part of the downtime resolution. Then the ref and player just need to find a way to resolve it before it becomes relevant for future events. i) The ref could just resolve it himself and announce the results to the player. ii) the ref and player could meet for an impromptu 30min-1hr session where they play out the encounter. iii) the encounter can be played out async via text message over 1-2 days. Pick the method of resolution that makes sense; the important thing is that the game-world start of the next significant event (e.g. session) is synched to the real-world calendar.

Shen (Bike Cuck) used to only do one or two comics a month, his famous "the calender/depression beat me up" comics that went viral. That was quite a while ago though: he has 800k followers on Twitter, 3,372 patrons, merchandise, and while he doesn't have a serialized comic he does produce a comic every 2nd day.
He's not lazy; he's just doing exactly what Jim Davis (Garfield) did and told other cartoonists to do if they wanted to feed themselves.

Every time I search for a cool "barbarian" in some RPG, no matter if it's dark fantasy or not, it's always the half-naked dude or chick that looks like he / she has just wake up after an university party.
It gives the same vibes that you get from watching an historical film and for some reason, the filmmakers hate natural colors and must put a filter that ruins your immersion.

Is it there a good RPG with proper "barbarians"?

I get that, I just wanted to enjoy some games after 10 hours in the heat/cold. But every game is like this, the tryhards always ruin it for people who just wanna play the game.

matters to whom, is really the question.
WotC's great revelation was that the people who care about balance don't matter. the competitive vets are responsible for almost all of the complaints, but as a group they don't spend 1% of what the casuals and whales do. trying to make a deep well-balanced game is, financially speaking, a total waste of time.

which is why the only games where you actually get that are community-run dedgames, or shit from tiny garage publishers that are small enough to still have players in charge of major decisions.

▶What is Kingdom Death?
Kingdom Death is a tabletop minture brand stared by Adam Poots and operated by himself and his Team that later spun off into a miniature based bored game funded by two very successful kickstarter campaigns.

▶What is Kingdom Death: Monster?
Monster is a Nightmare Horror cooperative boss battler/miniature hobby game for 1-4 players about hope in a strange world of bizarre monstrosities and perpetually darkness. Players take on the role of survivors that band together to form a settlement, fighting monsters, crafting weapons and gear, and developing their civilization to ensure survival from generation to generation.

The Game is broken up into 3 phases:
1. During your Hunt Phase your band of survivors traverse the world of KD in pursuit of their quarry.
2. After successfully tracking your quarry you will begin the Showdown Phase, where you must fell these horrific creatures in order to acquire precious resources.
3. After the battle, your survivors wander home with loot in hand to begin the Settlement Phase. Arm yourself by developing new weapons and bizarre structures to prepare for next year's hunt.

NMM looks good only on pictures, but on an actual 3d model it's not nearly as great as you think it is.
It is the best for display miniatures, but when dealing with pieces that you will be moving around and look at from different directions TMM is better more often than not.
Keep in mind that TMM doesn't mean slapping a random metallic color and then do edge highlight, that looks like shit simply because it's poorly done.
A decent TMM is miles better than your average NMM.
