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.>Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128>Need a starter dungeon?

>>96768459That was rpg.net rather than reddit.Oh and the people posting were mods, who were posting on their official mod accounts about how he drew a cock on the moon with his nazi space laser or some shit.Fuck if I know what exactly they said, who listens to Jannies on the internet?
>>96768452Nah, there's plenty of evidence, beyond what the Reddit Jannies said. Do you want to double down before I post some of it? Kinda want to see you dig your hole a bit more first.
>>96768466>The threads still exist in the archive. Everyone can see the ACKShills being the problem, with people in the thread pleading with them to shut the fuck up about ACKS. Even in the latest thread, when they saw a "no acks" sign, they immediately started to troll that thread by having a yes-indeed off-topic discussion about it.Well then you won't mind fucking off to the new thread, someone even made it for you >>96767555Will you?
>>96768492>And now we watch as Fishfag gets out his tinfoil hat and corkboard to try and convince people that no, really, they're gangstalking the intertubesAll this knowledge about reddit and yet he still won't fuck off back there
>>96768410>Hardcore, unapologetic shilling.And thus we confirm Fishfags standard for shilling.That being an accurate description with a 'make up your own opinion' at the end.Working backward from this we can confirm what we already knew, that being any post which isn't telling people to believe what he believes and stating that his opinion is objective fact is, in fact, shilling in his eyes.What can you even do about such a person really?
Honestly I'm tired of muh eldritch cults and the lovecraftian mythos in horror. No one is genuinely scared or creeped out by them. People may gloat about how much of an intellectual idea cosmic horror is; being overwhelmed by the vastness of the universe and feeling powerless, blah blah blah.Satanic cabals, witch covens and pagan cults do give people the creeps. Voodoo dolls, human sacrifices, blood rituals, hidden groves with celtic ruins, secret societies, actual ghosts and demons instead of otherworldly beings who don't give a shit about mankind. Horns and blood scare people more than tentacles and ooze.
>>96768068No it wasn’t. Christianity didn’t become a meme until Christ-Chan deus vult posting against ISIS and then it continued to just be a reactionary LARP against what was perceived as being reddit leftists. None of it was sincere and still isn’t which is why “Christianity” has been reduced to seething about trannies and jews.
>>96765798I mentioned other forms of horros which I know are fictional and are great. see >>96761015 . Demons aren't scary because they're real. They're scary because they're scary.IIT a bunch of reddit atheists who think everyone who has the slightest religious belief has to be a religious fanatic because le church bad
>>96768053I hear you on that; the meaning of wizard has totally flipped from the origin. But I'm an autistic literature major who loves etymologies and wanted to throw some fun stuff into an otherwise semi-hostile discussion.

>>96767498>the previous threads were fine lmao how many years in a decade?
>>96767461speaking as a lurker here, that is somewhat interested in nsr systems but doesnt have much experience i am sure there are more people that lurk the general like this.My personal experience is reading from the first post but skimming over troll posting and all the ACKS arguements.Don't let the general buckle under the weight of the osr puritans, ACKS shilling and they will eventually tire and leave, at least if people stop engaging them
>>96768412>greetings fellow kids >I'm just a regular passerby but my opinion aligns with the troll by sheer coincidence
>>96768412I don't mind random discussions about whatever, I don't think they ruin the thread. But they hide how little connection there is between the actual on topic posts. In the 3 threads we had I had small exchanges about Mothership and Black Sword Hack, and ignored posts for 4 or 5 other systems. It makes sense, no one has to run the things I like running or would like to run, but that comes from having so few actual posters that there's barely any common ground itt.
>>96768445what opinion aligns with the troll? the fact that somebody is deadset to defend ACKS to a crowd that doesn't really care about it arguing with another troll baiting him or anons telling him that they dont care and has provided literally zero interesting discussion about it? did i miss a single interesting post about it? i dont even hate ACKS. i think the classes are the most interesting part of it for me and fill the greatest void i feel with the meaty osr systems. How underdeveloped non human races are and classes in general. I also dont hate the fake feats coming from 3.5 into the rpg scene, but i dont know how well they work in said system.
>Player whines about not having a major role in the story>He's playing a generic human fighterHow do you deal with players like this? I let already let him get drunk and pick fights when he visits taverns, what more do martial players want?
>>96768295>Male human fighters can have a ton of backstory and flavorKey word "can"Guess what doesn't happen in 9 out of 10 cases.
>>96768295Besides, I don't give a flying fuck about backstories, I want a player who isn't sitting by the table, doing fuck all and having to be almost forced to speak up or participate. Why even occupying the spot, if you don't plan to play?
>>96768310This, what most male human fighter fags don't realize is that the stereotype "fighters are boring" doesn't come from the class. It comes from years of the most boring people you know playing fighters.I'm not even talking about a lack of backstory, because that really doesn't matter. But a total lack of attention, initiative or involvement. Mostfighterfags just exist at a table to bloat the enemy CR limit and nothing else
With this type of playoid you have to basically prompt them for specific plot details/input which will either nudge them to get proactive or admit they're just being whiny for the sake of being disruptive. Ask them to fill in a plot detail - eg tell the group that the ragged beggar they encounter looks familiar and then ask the player in question who he is(eg they could say the beggar is their former fencing instructor or long-lost brother or whatever). Then you're off to the races. This is also something I do with the muh realism/anti-metagaming/lone wolf faggots. EG I'll ask the players in session one to explain how they became adventuring companions and what their first quest pre-campaign was like. This just totally heads off the people who want to whine about how their character doesn't trust the others yet.
>>96766801Just give him his moment in the sun before letting his wings melt.Let him pick fights in bars, then have said fight spiral into something pretty bad. For instance he just knocked out the an important man's son but when he fell, he hit his head and dies. Now the player has to deal with the consequences of his antics and maybe the party has to deal with them as well.
The art looks more "soulfull" or nostalgic than a lot of recent M:tG stuff, but that doesn't tell me if the game itself is good or if there are many players
>>96764844I've played the precon decks and they're fun
>>96765144???
>>96765145Cool.I'll look into this at my LGS tomorrow.
>>96767996presumably anon doesn't believe people are capable of writing this much text anymore, probably because he himself can'tfor what's it worth, I thought yours was a good review
>>96768157i didn't write the review, i was just wondering why he reacted like that to the review.

Hey fellas, stupid question here. I've been asked to run a 5e foundry module, which repo would those be kept in? I can't track 'em down unlike PF2e's specific rebrand folder. Anyone willing to point me in the right direction?
humbly requesting the pathfinder kingmaker foundry module
Looking for the Big Ass Book of Hooks, namely the two Shadowdark versions, the two Traveller versions, and the Post-Apoc version please!

>>96765601>Then in 7th the game as a whole had a big tonal shift notable from the changes to army book covers. Beastmen lost most of their flavour as folk horror chaos and instead became generic barbarian hordesYou wish they were generic barbarians; 7th made them the setting's official actual legitimate (I'm really not joking) scat fetishists.
>>96765722They do sell equivalents of other models though
>>96768387The AoS version came out later, I also am not sure if they would fit in the same base
>>96768386>generic barbarian hordesWhat also bugs me about that is they aren't barbarian, they're anarchists.
>>96768386Barbarism and bowel movements are intimately tied to each other.
So, now you need to decide. Do you close your eyes to what you've seen and go back to sleep?

Hi, I'm going to be playing my first game of D&D, and a friend told me I could get some art for my character here. So I hope I'm doing this right.My character is a Half-Orc rogue called Grimgar the Prowling Fury.His mother was an Orc shamaness, and his father was a human slave. He has his father's lean build but his mother's green-tinged skin and raw strength. His tribe shunned him as "diluted blood," too human to be a true warrior, but his mother still tried to train him in the shamanic arts of beast-speaking and herbal poisons. But Grimgar's true affinity lay in the shadows—stalking prey like a ghost, striking from ambush with crude bone knives.Not going to get into too much more about his backstory here, just that there was a coup by a rival Warchief, Grimgar's mother was killed, and Grimgar was blamed. Killing his pursuers, he was now branded a kin-slayer, but he seeks the skills necessary to get revenge for the murder of his mother.Description: He is lean and green-skinned, with slight tusks (they may get longer as he ages, but they are underdeveloped compared to other full-blooded orcs his same age).We wears mostly leather hides and furs, as well as handmade jewelry made up of trophies from his kills. As well as a crafted feline mask that covers his upper face, made by his mother to help him appear more intimidating and hide much of his human features.
>>96762264>His mother was an Orc shamaness, and his father was a human slave.Hot
>>96757090I would categorize that as more old timey sea serpent - related but distinct
>>96699310Requesting my orc dude going full revolver ronin, it doesn't have to be historically accurate, you can go cyberpunk or sci-fantasy if you like.
>>96762304Heh, yeah, that is kinda hot. It's part of the unsolved issues that my friend running the game wanted everyone to have. He wanted everyone to have at least two unsolved issues with their character's backstory to resolve potentially in the game. Mine are getting revenge on the rival Warchief, as well as finding out what happened to my father, as he escaped from the camp before the coup.
You ever wonder why there's so much 'church bad' stuff? Like you'd think that given how fantasy deities demonstrably exist and do indeed grant supernatural powers, there would be less basic-ass iconoclasm.
>>96757491and all of these are usually connected to the fantasy church, if not its leader/founder
>zoomer thinks the satanic panic wasn’t real because you couldn’t be cancelled on twitter over it How do you even engage with these people? It’s like talking to someone about before cars were invented.
>>96766179Source? The satanic panic is pretty well known by all my peers. Are you 't talking to gen alpha or the latter cohort of zoomers? Or did you just meet a genuine retard? I mean I know there's a good reason gamers used to be considered left leaning before gamergate.>t. elder zoomer
>>96768339>Go in thread>Ignore entire thread>Reply to very last post in the thread with zero context.Do you not know how a message board works?
>>96763085>satanic panic was never a thingShouldn't you be in school right now lil guy? People in their 30's/40's remember this. It's too early to tell the big lie.
What do you look for when buying dice? Coolness factor, edgyness, functionality? What's the coolest dice you own? The shittiest.
>>96757582Readability.
>>96764175they look great
>>96763287Idk depending on the army you play having dice that roll the 3/4 side consistently over the 2/5 side would be really good. I think I have a couple bricks of 2/5 weighted Chessex dice that I use for Orks that make me pull off statistically improbable amounts of 5+ shots and invulns/fnps. And at the numbers I roll them it'd only take me a month or so to get 1000 rolls.
>>96762258300 buys me a new handgun, like 20 bux is the most I have ever paid for a dice set

>>96767350>>96767366Bard's thing is one action, party wide, and can last the whole fight depending on build. It's a long way from spending 3 actions to give a situational +1 to one roll.
>>96767969fuck I cut off the part where I meant to say "... using something to reduce that by 1 isn't doing nothing, but it's still a bad a ability". No Cause For Alarm has to contest with the fact that shit like Champion's Aura of Courage exists and just kind of passively does the same shit in an AoE, to say nothing of dozens and dozens of infinitely better actions you could use (just enter a Marshal stance or some shit). I'm pretty much in agreement, but it's pretty important to clarify that Frightened is a broad debuff.
>>96768018I just mean +1 matters, but so does number of actions, reach, duration, and applicability.
>>96698459One of my players created a Sprite Witch riding a fucking corgi, and i hate that type of dog. They have a shadow type patron and will try to keep the dog invisible. Please i need good ways of killing that mutt as often as i can. We are playing Shades of Blood BTW
