>>96766108>bringing back the sectorials, coming up with a new army, fixing old armies, new rules... these are Panic Moves.Stopped reading there, you're just a moron. CB already said they were going to be bringing back sectorials and fixing old armies. They made that clear the instant that they confirmed that they were stripping the number of sectorials back for the launch of N5. These were not surprise releases, nor were they sudden pivots and capitulations to a riotous customer base; the sectorials are old and no one played them, so updating them to N5 was low priority, but their reintroduction has been the plan since day one. You can find blog posts and videos from before N5 launched stating as much.But the average 4channer has the memory of a goldfish and a love of contrived drama, so of course the narrative instead become "CB is dying (for real this time, not like the other 18 times people said this was happening)! The Fans(TM) have forced them to return our beloved sectorials and they are floundering for our support!"
>>96766949> sectorials are old and no one played themWrong, Varuna was played a lot, and its entire model range was in production, right till N5 dropped.

What is /tg/ opinion on Chtulhu Dark? Anyone tried it?I have to run a one shot for some friends, 3 of which are women (who in my experience are not really able to follow more than 2 rules of an Rpg if they are not already into rpgs) so the narrative focus of cthulhu dark is excellent.The lack of a wound/harm systems is kinda offputting, but I think I can improvise something.Does anybody have experiences/tips/resources/forbidden knowledge to share?
>>96757309Nothing really specific to Cthulhu Dark.
>>96753423Wait until I run a Battletech game with it.
>>96756298Right, this is the newer version. Still, it makes sense, because you risk Insight overload.
>>96745375Name the 2 other good Cthulhu games please.
I also like Cthulhu Deep Green, a Delta Green hack Cthulhu Dark which allows a bit more action.

>>96763151Mekton Z can do that.(Although its rules for such things are not as well thought-out as they could be.)Sadly, the Power Rangers RPG totally dropped the ball on their giant robot rules. They suck, are woefully unsatisfying, and frankly incomplete.
>>96764559>(Although its rules for such things are not as well thought-out as they could be.)What's missing/faulty?Also, thank you.
>>96765737The problem Mekton has (and most systems that would try to replicate such a thing) is that you're supposed to cycle who has control over the machine every round. Which means a lot of people just waiting around. The alternatives are breaking action economy by giving it multiple "turns" per round or a shitload of actions on their turn.
>>96765756So each round the machine is controlled entirely by one player instead of having players assigned in one or more particular functions? (eg: arms for punching, huge laser cannon, missiles etc...)
>>96756000I've taken a look at it. It seems pretty solid overall although from what I've gathered from Discord comments there's a handful of errors that slipped through (check the starter Word-Caster packages for example, they forgot to list the skills for each one)
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!

>>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

>>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

>>96765601>Then in 7th the game as a whole had a big tonal shift notable from the changes to army book covers.

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.
