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've been saying this for years. A core mechanical failing of DnD has been the proliferation of unnecessary classes

Barbarian, Monk, Paladin, and Ranger should just be subclasses of Fighter
Warlock should a subclass of Sorceror
Bards should be a subclass of Rogues.
Artificers should be a subclass of Wizard.
Druids should be a subclass of Clerics.

The funny is that Conan isn't really a good fit for the D&D class, to the point when he was actually statted, he's a fighter/thief with absolutely zero barb points.
D&D barbarians are more like one of those extras he'd kick the crap out of as an intermission to an adventure.

Have the dragon maim the manticore in some way so that even if they heal it it won't be physically able anymore. Unless they have the power to restore lost limbs it is basically a cripple that would lose in a fight to much less threatening creatures if simply healed and left to its own devices again. Hell, you could even play it as the manticore having lost its will to continue the fight after getting so thoroughly trounced even if it survives.
This could prompt them to go on a quest to restore the manticore if they deem it important or they could choose to let the manticore pass and avenge it. Even if they were to fully heal the manticore, the shame of being defeated twice and seemingly being unable to ever defeat the dragon could shatter its pride, maybe even more so if it had to rely on the charity of the party to survive. It seems honorable enough for believing in settling debts with strangers, so you could play up that angle if you really want to have a moment.

You're a little incoherent, but I'm with you.
I genuinely believe in broad humanist values, so I like the idea of equality and inclusion. I think all people ought to be treated with dignity and respect, in an ideal world. And in science fiction I also like the idea of moving on from human prejudices. I don't see any reason I shouldn't treat aliens and robots with respect too. Hell, I'm even soft towards animals. I hate the mistreatment of animals, and think they deserve dignity and respect too.
And yet I hate nasty trannies and leftist queer garbage. I've realize it's less about *what* they are, it's about *how* they are. I don't hate trannies merely for being trans, for example, but for the fact that being trans is almost always a secondary symptom of being a perverted sex ghoul with hysterical BPD. And I just hate the general special Olympics victim cult that they run.
And speaking of Lancer, I've been to pilot net, and they're all fucking hysterical leftists and weirdo creeps. You can and will get screamed at and banned for wrongthink, even if it's accidental, because like most leftist enclaves everyone is a wannabe inquisitor in the midst of a purity doom spiral. I haven't poked my head in in over a year, but I imagine it's even worse since the election since I imagine Trump Derangement Syndrome is at a total fever pitch now too. If it was bad during Biden it's probably total fucking chaos.
Someone should go in as a probe and come back with some screenshots.

MTG is in a weird spot where it's only being played because it's being played, not because it's good. People buy into games that they can play locally. So for any LGS, all it would take is a conscious decision to switch to a different main game by the store, but no store has a reason to do that.
But maybe that's just my opinion, and mtg already succeeded in replacing their audience with slop eaters that are there specifically for sonic and spongebob.

Ah.

I don't play 40k and I don't have any of the books, but I have ONCE AGAIN heard some people talking about how powerful the space marines are, compared to normal people, and I had a sudden thought I need rules knowledge to disambiguate.

If a unit with 1 surviving standard guardsman charges a unit with 1 surviving standard marine what are the dice rolls that determine the results of that one charge? Assuming the luckiest rolls possible, is it possible for that guardsman to kill that marine?

If it isn't possible to do the 1-turn kill, what are the rolls the marine will make in retaliation, and what are the odds that the guardsman survives those to get another try against the marine?

(I'm not sure if "standard marine" and "standard guardsman" make sense - if you're playing a specific codex, will there be rules that make *every* marine non-standard, or is there a type of marine that every chapter gets? And same for the guardsman. If there's no "standard," then I guess I'm thinking of a Cadian charging an Ultramarine, just for being the two poster-boy codexes)

>>96462570
Guard rolls 2d6 to charge. Sane people like 7" charges so he makes it in half the time
He needs a hit of like 4+ so he hits half the time, call it 25%
He wounds probably also on a 4 or 5 so call it 12.5%
The marine has a 3+ save and two wounds. So 4%, and then the whole thing has to happen again, so we'll call it a 1/1000 chance

Actually its less because the marine hits back, but also more because the guard can try again if he survives the second turn, so... close enough

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 give out double XP. When they get treasure home and when they spend it on something I love or is reasonable.
Now, I have thought about what if they buy a healing service from the village cleric.
Couple of wretches and one retainer is badly hurt from the last adventure. They were carried home and took to the cleric.
I have yet to figure out what healing services would cost in B/X world. Days food and water costs 1 gold coin, not peasants yearly wage. With that in mind, it should be around 100 gp per spell level, no? 500 gp? Price of the spell scroll or the inconvenience price for the cleric to lose a spell slot?
Then I can finally set up a multiplier (0.5-1.0) for the XP for Gold spent.
Thanks.

XP for money spent is NuSR crap, ditch it.

Both the DMG and ACKS have rules for that. The DMG, in particular, is required reading.
