First, Player 1 Projects "Franz Bardon" as an Orange Energy from their Hand.

Then Player 1 taps "Franz Bardon" as an Orange Energy to add 1 Energy to their Avatar, increasing it from 2 to 3.

Now that "Yakub" has 3 Energy, its 3-Energy Avatar can be Invoked by spending the 3 Energy.

"Identify a Manifest Energy: Transmute it into an Entity."

This is a simple but very powerful effect. The reason why this is such a powerful effect is because any card can be played as an Energy, without regard to its cost. So basically you can get a card onto the field ignoring its costs at the expense of its use as an Energy.

Normally, this is used to flood the board with Entities to overwhelm the other player.

For example, Player 1 could Transmute the "Franz Bardon" they just played as an Energy, get it onto the board, and do further Energy Transmutations on the same turn via his effect.

This is the reason Player 2 is saving their Avatar Nullification - In anticipation of this combo whose set up is evident from public game state knowledge (face up cards) - They would Nullify/brick Bardon as soon as he gets on the board to stop the combo, and then remove him via their Meme.

However, Player 1 is going to do an unusual application of this Transmutation effect, they're going to Transmute Player 2's Energy "MK Ultra", which at first glance doesn't make much sense, because Player 2 retains control of the card, because it's their Energy. It would appear like giving Player 2 a free Energy Transmutation.

The definition of Transmutation is:

This is the same at my LGS.
When they think of Trench Crusade, they think of the drama around it and don't want to touch it thinking it still has a controversy around it.
I guess the controversy is still going.

Weird thing is that the fandom still has a kind of PTSD over it, say anything negative about TC, even with earnest intentions of highlighting problems to make it better and you have a high chance of being called a Warhammer fan, Archfan, chud or whatever. As if TC is somehow the best thing for mankind since the discovery of fire.

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade Gygaxian D&D, its various modern clones, and content created specifically for use with this. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere.

Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons as played in the game's first decade (74-83) — 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. We also have two excellent beginner guides created by Anons with feedback from the thread, feel free to check them out for answers:

I'm going to tell you this right now: you can't actually destroy your game by giving the players too much loot on level 1. I mean, even if you fuck it completely and give them like a gemstone worth a million gp, there's a rule that you can't level up more than once per expedition for a reason. And your players are never going to get mad at you for handing out loot, so feel free to err in the direction of too much.

Mind you, you don't want to keep it up, you don't want to make a habit of it. But screwing up once is absolutely indistinguishable from rolling a whammy of a treasure hoard on the random tables once. Thread regulars are just skewed (for obvious reasons) toward discussing what the theoretical ideal is and sometimes, I think, forget that the D&D system is actually really robust.

TL;DR don't sweat it too much, you can feel safe being generous.

Agreed. At worst they have a bit more money to throw around for a while on consumables.

This isn't later editions where WBL bullshit means if you give a character too much money too soon they can snape the entire campaign over their knee.
Which is admittedly very entertaining when you're the one doing it, but not so much for the DM

Chosen Men and A Song of Drums/Shakos aren't even the same type of game. SoDaS is for small group of 5-10 individuals, Chosen men is played with several units which can be up to 30 men in a single unit, it accommodates 100+ men per team

Anon asked for a game where he can live out his dreams of being a hussar scouting, raping and plundering, and Drums and Shakos is obviously a better fit than a small battle game with off table artillery.

>>96839668
My first thought is to focus the campaign around access to another plane full of some revolutionary or world-changing resource that could be used to make a utopia, but said realm is also full of some sort of cosmic horror that is spawning armies of monsters, mutating wildlife, driving people crazy, etc.

And so the goal of the campaign likely becomes sealing off that realm. Basically one of those typical fantasy endings where defeating the villain also involves most of the magic of the fantasy world leaving in the process.
That draws on typical fantasy tropes, but allows you to have a lovecraft style twist where the source of the magic is paired with something inherently sinister, and so the safe option is to cut all of it off.

That's it, I'm buying these scrubs some fucking items so they stop going down. Can't keep relying on our Bard for crutches
We have a Hexblade Warlock, an Open Hand Monk and a Tempest Cleric. Our Warlock is a 15 year old who's being protected by a Fey Wolf who got mad at us for allowing her to get no-diffed so badly he had to take control of her so I'm thinking of getting them the Plate Of Knight's Fellowship so they have a bodyguard of sorts.
Can't decide if the Monk and Cleric should get either armor or a weapon. The Monk has the Manslayer sword but that's situational and the Cleric just has a mace as far as I remember

Every edition has always had its bitches.

Even 2e had fans crying about how 3e was the death of role playing games forever. One letter to Dragon magazine was crying about every change that 3e made and why they were objectively bad. And 3e had people saying the same about 4e, and 4e about 4e essentials, and so on.

I wish people could just be... fair. Evaluate games and rules without agenda or bias.

But some guys think they have a lot riding on people playing the game they like over the game they don't like. So, they bitch.

Roses are red
Violets are blue,
Sage goes in all fields
And 2e is poo.
