Trench Crusade General - /trench/Let's Make A Warband Generator Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.>How do I get started?All the files are free online, but are split between the website and the discord.

What conversions would you guys be cool with before they get too sci-fi/silly? I'm thinking of using spare PanO Knights and Fusiliers for New Antioch and make a Fusilier a Sniper Priest, but would that be too sci-fi?

Ran a guy through a few learning games this afternoon, just some 700p basic matches with Great War.I took a war wolf with generic heretics, felt bad, swapped deployments after he remade his list and took my usual mammon but without a war wolf.He took the plague basic variant, then swapped to the variant where you can give zombies guns.The entire warbands basically getting gas masks for free was quite a rain on my parade. As are the 2 attendants on a machine gun rot knight. Anyway it was fun and he was happy he managed to beat out the heretics by 100 points in the second game. Next time we play he’ll be going to 900 8 glory and we will see the horrors unleashedWhat’s the deal with the big rulebook 1.0 btw. When are we expecting it?
>>96605607I think the knight heads and bodies would look okay for new antioch if you took off the antennae, as would the fusilier bodies and legs. The main issue imo is the all the tech lines and lights in the armour not meshing well with the smooth, broad plates that Antioch likes to use, though to be fair the lights can easily get repainted as rivets.
>>96606451>The entire warbands basically getting gas masks for free was quite a rain on my parade.Yep normally it balances out as you end up playing multiple unique factions and people over the course of your campaign. But back to back it can hurt. What were you running in generic heretics that you had enough gas for that to be impactful to your gameplan?>What’s the deal with the big rulebook 1.0 btw. When are we expecting it?Soon TM. Rumors say by the end of the year. Nice board anon
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!

>>96600421I would have wanted to add as well...>the Indoornessebut Melan, while being admittedly a very gifted module designer, is a bit of a FOE in that he only gives distances in terms of time and not of space, so it's impossible to say.>The Caverns of Thracia's Level 3but as far as I can see there's no indication of how large the Palace Gardens are, nor any explanation of what defines their borders: Cavern walls? Or something more magical, mystical, eldritch, and arcane?
>>96600536To be fair, Melan *only* does this with the Indoornesse AFAIK, so it porbably has less to do with him being a FOE and more to do with it being a liminal magical space which doesn't obey normal rules of physics (most obvious in the case of the castle within, of course).
>>96600609Fair enough.
>6. Make a magic itemBlissbringerThis rune-inscribed pacifier is made of bronze, with the part that's supposed to go in someone's mouth covered in soft leather. When a wielder holds it and pronounces the name* of someone within line of sight, that person must make a save vs. spells/WIL/Int or the pacifier zooms out to them and plops itself in their mouth. That person is then unable to speak, drink potions, or do anything else with their mouth for 1d4 turns. Aside from spells that dispel magic, it is possible to remove the pacifier through brute force, but doing this does 2d8 points of damage to the victim as flesh is torn.* Referee's discretion as to whether nicknames would work; I would rule that nicknames made up on the spot definitely would not, but if it was a long-standing nickname that the person responded to, it probably would.
ITT post your rulebooks, one rulebook per system.Share what the rulebook does well. If it has any cool features, call them out, because I want other rulebooks to also have the same cool features.Share why the rulebook was a waste of money. (No points for not having a group that wants to play the game that the rulebook is for. That's a YOU problem, not a rulebook problem.Try to focus on the rulebooks themselves instead of the systems.

Le Cabinet des Murmures: It's a really nice book, really well made with hardcover, printed in color, light enough that I can put it in one hand easily. The fabric bookmarks are nice, I like books which incorporate them, they all should have them. It's a pretty easy read as well.The one thing it does great is the vibe, the biggest reason I was excited to read it outside of the cool concept of one body + multiple ghost players. It really titillates my imagination, I like it a lot.

>Imperium MaledictumI bought it as an update to Dark Heresy. It all looks nostalgic and the book looks amazing. Combat itself seems worse.

Some two or three years ago, I saw someone start up a 13th Age 1e living world/West Marches server. The premise of the setting was, essentially, isekai. New PCs would simply appear somewhere in the world; I do not remember if they had their starting gear or were essentially naked.The twist here was that the isekai process was """""realistic""""" in that there was no guarantee that PCs would appear safely on the ground. The GM had each new PC roll on a comprehensive set of tables to determine whether they appeared in the sky, in the sea, immured in the earth, or, yes, atop terra firma. There were rolls to determine height or depth, and distance from the nearest settlement.Naturally, multitudes upon multitudes of new PCs simply died. No worries, though, because the same player could simply try again with a new character, possibly with the exact same character sheet. It was very goofy in a morbid way.The GM must have been doing something right, because the server attracted plenty of players. I did not play myself, though.That is all. It is just a small, silly anecdote.
>>96599198You would think, but it does make sense:- Y/N surviving the fall isn't going to be a character design consideration.- The character is spirited to a random place rather than character designed for that place. You might be able to glean info on the environment otherwise.-You can use the same generated character and try again.The main issue is just...why make them fall if not doing so is a precondition to play on. Just float them down. Can they get buried underground too?
>>96598744>The GM must have been doing something right, because the server attracted plenty of playersIt isn't really hard to attract plenty of people who are desperate for a game online.

>>96606379I don't know. Introducing the chance to brick on a black EX3 rookie from one line and this champion of the other seems like a bad idea.
>>96606379Niche uses really. Raid Greymon could be used to hit floodgates but BT17 already did that while keeping the rookie's name and already nobody runs that. Jamming Garurumon might be useful if they ever lose their bullshit option that replays any rookies they launch at security. I think Date is the best Omni support this set.
>>96606399I will never understand how digica players think about consistency and bricking. It's irrational in a way I didn't think was possible. You can literally force feed the most brain dead top-tier deck in existence to them, complete with rolling waves of support any other deck would drool over, and they'll go "EW NO WHAT IF PUTTING THIS INCREDIBLE CARD IN MY DECK MADE ME BRICK WITH THESE THREE SHITTY BLACK ROOKIES I PLAY???"
>>96606548When you get this much support your main concerns shift more towards consistency of effects rather than abundance or even power levels.
>>96606692Bro the card is raw consistency.

But the problem I see with "must have 15 guys" approach is how second group is still limited to 5 orders. Since it's mostly also composed of defensive units (like some remote you park at spot and let it scare off people), someone who would activate at last turn to touch objective or be entirely situational, they don't need much orders anyway. In the end, it's still about main group of 10 people.
>>96603788He explains it in the video, it's because there are like 4 Warcrow products, so it's extremely easy to stock and produce and if people are interested in it they can only buy those, leading to high margins.

>>96599773It really depends. Usually, especially if you go into harder zones, you will hit a problem somewhere. That's a matter of not being able to have tons of dice in all of your stats.For example, I once posted a story here about a half-giant whose greatest challenge was that when she lost fights and got captured, it was something next to impossible for her to escape by sneaking. She spent over a week enslaved by especially large greenskins because she had to wait to be rescued, and her story ended when she couldn't escape her capture by cultists and got gradually more and more corrupt. That was a character with a ton of strength and endurance, but that didn't make her immune to getting absolutely overwhelmed by large groups of relatively strong enemies, and then suffering consequences for having a deficiencies in certain areas. This is how Lewd Attack should generally work, I think. That, eventually, you will find a situation where the dice will not be so favorable to you. This is why a variety of challenges is important, and not just harder fights. Especially in older versions of the game, it wasn't particularly difficult to make a character who could break things because challenges were mostly combat-centric. A caster who can just devastate all of the fights at the start, a character whose dodge rating is so effective they would be exceptionally difficult to damage, etc, and people did those things by accident (or sometimes on purpose, not understanding that this defeats the point to some extent).
>>96602393You purposedly went into harder zones at the start if I remember right so it was obvious that she lost a lot of fights. That's not a good point to make regarding how easy is to get stronger if you say "if you just go in hard zones you are not OP" which goe back to the lose on purpose.
>>96602572I'm honestly surprised you remember that. Of course, at the time, the idea of how "hard" alternate zones were was vague, and I was going more for themes. In a lot of her adventuring, she could still just strike things down casually due to how immense her strength was, so I don't think she was all that inappropriately rated for it. I intentionally built her to be one hell of a fighter, and that showed up plenty. She just also wasn't super fast, and also could lose out to other extremely strong fighters on occasion.All that is to say that she was, in some ways, very OP-seeming by the standards by which people play the game, but still had her weaknesses that came up, and that the opportunity to lose wasn't missing, because I was intentionally challenging her.You don't really "get stronger" all that much in Lewd Attack, unless you are already pretty far into the game and can pull incredible treasures or stat boosts somehow. Your skills refine, which makes rolls easier, but you generally don't have much you can do to change the actual number of dice that you're throwing. If you need to pass a challenge that's hard, and you only have 3 dice to throw on that particular challenge, you need a lot of luck to pass it, and you're very likely not to.
>>96599773>an average buildReally gonna depend on what you mean by that. Human generally has max of 5 for stats. Is having a 4 in a primary attack or defense stat considered average? Because I can assure you that having an 8 or 9 attack/defense skill makes the game far more challenging. If you consider only having max stats to be "average", then you might want to reconsider your definition of the term.
>>96605284Humans can feel like "hard-mode" with a maximum of 10 for whatever they heavily invest in. They are more consistent with rolls that aren't necessarily their forte. But if you venture out into other areas or fight foes from dangerous missions, they often face enemies throwing 12 attack dice at them.I'd still say that 10 dice is the average for skills that your character is supposed to be great at.

I could use some advice on a few things here, i'm running a D6 campaign, those old west end game guys. Anyways, when i create maps what's a good size? I have trouble getting my players to move beyond 5 ft every fight, EVERY fight, and it doesn't help that even common rifles have 100 on medium range. I'm also trying to do a clone wars starfall, changing up some things, but what's a good replacement for the walker in this era? Because the clone walker is ridiculous and stupid, and not boss worthy.
>>96603398Here are the costs. From what I saw, people are building the commander at around 150ish, but the operative can go as low as around a 100.
>>96604160I'd honestly rather play Saga if I wanted a Star Wars d20.
