>>97820493Bland =/= Basic
>>97820313Barb should be the unga bunga "numbers go higher" class, fighter should be the maneuver class with lots of skillful fighting techniques. Like it was in the playtest before they cucked out.
>>97820313The problem is that Fighters just don't have a gimmick like Monk or Barbarian or Rogue, and the fact everyone gets a Level 1 feat hurts their ability to get extra feats. It doesn't help their new subclasses are all incredibly boring.>PugilistNot an official class, literally blood hunter tier.>>97820334Or better. As I said, 2024 Monk is so fucking good. And I love monk, I do, I'm glad it's really good, but fighter just doesn't have anything special to call its own.>>97820493As >>97820506 said, I wouldn't mind them being basic if they weren't also bland and boring and also outclassed in every way by the other martials.That said, I already addressed my issues with them when I overhauled all the 5.5 classes.

>>97814907>>97820633>MedicineThe old Healer feat, sort of.As a Utilize action, you can spend one use of a healer's kit and make a DC 10 Wisdom (Medicine) check to tend to a creature. On a success, the creature regains 5 hit points, plus hit points equal to its maximum number of Hit Dice**.-Expert Care. For every 5 points you beat the DC, the creature regains an additional 1d6 hit points-Limit. A creature can't regain hit points from this feature again until it finishes a short or long rest or spends one of its own Hit Dice.
Making a thread about scary Yugoloths and why every party should fear them. 100% success rate at taking down PCs and their stupid adventure-ling parties. First off, they'll break all your dumb magic weapons *during combat*. That 15th party of gishes and tanks last about 3 rounds once all their magic is deprived of them. *499 more reasons to follow not fucking around with Yugoloths coming up*Look at this beast. It's absolutely 100% a threat on the battlefield. This absolute unit wreaks havoc in combat.They also secretly direct the Blood War and since it's such a threat, by proxy nearly the entire multiverse too.
>>97820529Looks stupid
>>97820542I'm looking for one and the PF version looks to be the most powerful version I've ever seen of it. Piscoloths are the least likely to work alone. As lesser Yugoloths, they are probably headed up by three arcanadaemons and one ultrodaemon. They never fight fair and they will always use overwhelming forces on you. That six summons (other Yugoloths) plus one that can summon almost anything including up to Tiamat.
>>97820560Cockroach body crossed with a lobster with an illithid-like head? You'd shit your pants, Junior
>>97820609as per the universal monster rules, summoned creatures in pathfinder can't use their own spell-like summons until they've been there for at least an hour (and regular summon spells are rounds in duration)no you can't make a quadratic army by summoning summoners lol

I feel like even though there is a bit of a surge in popularity for the medium, the actual art of rules writing might be slipping away. We haven't lost it yet, but there may have been some stagnation.What exactly makes a wargame/TTRPG's rules good?And what is the most "retard proof" method of slowly or even hastily (if possible) to learn to be a good writer of wargame/ttrpg rules?
>>97820580You're asking two different questions:>What makes a wargame's rules good?>What makes a TTRPG's rules good?They are very different beasts.>the actual art of rules writing might be slipping awayNo? We've got more TTRPGs than ever before today. Lots of them drastically differ from one another, be it on a small or large scale.Like, I've written about 10 TTRPGs and if any of them share core rules, it's by intent for one reason or another, and even then many have drastically different rules in other areas.>And what is the most "retard proof" method of slowly or even hastily (if possible) to learn to be a good writer of wargame/ttrpg rules?For TTRPGs, you need to first decide what you want our game to do.>How strong are player characters?Comment too long.

Welcome to /2eg/, a thread dedicated to all things 2nd Edition D&D related - including settings, lore, modules, and derived systems (Alternity, Buck Rogers XXVc, For Gold and Glory, Hackmaster, Myth and Magic, and more).Since 2e draws heavily from earlier editions, older modules are welcome too. Other media derived from AD&D (such as Infinity Engine video games) also has a home here.It's what you play, not how you play it. RAW or homebrew, as long as your table is having fun, there's no wrong way to play.There's a surprisingly complete 2e fan wiki for rules stuff, it's excellent for quick reference:https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/Advanced_Dungeons_%26_Dragons_2nd_Edition_Wikiad&d 2e archiveaHR0cHM6Ly93ZWIuYXJjaGl2ZS5vcmcvd2ViLzIwMjUwMjA0MTczNzUwL2h0dHBzOi8vdGhlLWV5ZS5ldS9wdWJsaWMvQm9va3MvcnBnLnJlbS51ei9EdW5nZW9ucyUyMCYlMjBEcmFnb25zL0FEJkQlMjAybmQlMjBFZGl0aW9uLw==Remember to keep things civil.Thread Question - why the 2e hate?
>>97820510I am not sure why they feel a need to lie about OSR not including 2e for whatever arbitrary reason.

>>97820510You're completely institutionalized, you didn't sit around and talk about jack or shit. You just bought the next book because you saw the number go up. You didn't realize Gary Gygax wasn't much if any involved in a game he created. You didn't realize the volume in releases spiking with 2e. You certainly never recognized the unmistakable switch to epic fantasy heroics.>>97820537You are in fact the liar. You live and breathe for the lies.>>97820540Not quite. D&D primarily concerned itself with dungeon crawling, hired henchmen, and meat grinder threats, solved with ingenuity and clever decision making.Can any of you tell me why Keep on the Borderlands is a classic.

Long time MtG player (17 years?) and with what's happening to the game rn, i don't really have much interest in any of the new sets. Sorcery looks like it could maybe scratch that itch. The art is fantastic and reminds me of legacy MtG art. Anybody here play?I watched a few overview vids, but I'm curious how the actual gameplay goes. For someone who plays mostly EDH, are there any similarities? Is it usually a 2 player match?How long are the matches usually?Is it as much of a money pit as MtG?Convinced a few of my MtG friends to give it a shot based off of the art alone. Just need an idea of what I'm up against in terms of learning curve.

Which D&D canon setting do you like most? Which one would you like to try out? >Blackmoor? More like, Blackwhore!>Greyhawk? More like, Gayhawk! >Mystara? More like, Fagstara!>The Conan universe? More like, the colonoscophy universe! >Dragonlance? Not worth giving a chance!\>Forgotten Realms? More like, forgettable realms!>Spelljammer? More like, go-to-Hell jammer!>Dark sun? More like, No Fun!>Al-Qadim? More like, All-Cocks-In-Him!>Planescape? I'd rather plan an escape!>Eberron? I like it, the creator is a creep though>Ravnica? More like, Ravnigga!>Exandria? More like, Retardia!>Theros? More like, Lameos!
>>97805205Birthright is my favorite D&D setting.
>>97808733>i always liked the idea of Spelljammer when not played as silly pirate adventure with haha space zombie clowns and haha slime people and haha fat hippo people with guns, but actually played straight and takes itself serious as a kind of Mass Effect in fantasy dressing.Same. It also tends to work better when it is used as it's own setting rather than as a way to connect Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk or import the Star Frontiers stuff to D&D. >>97809664>I personally reall like how gonzo it goes. I got inerested in it after finding out it includes mechs (sticking a ship helm in the corpse of a giant insect race) and kamen riders (a gem that mutates you into a supersoldier with light mind control you have to control when you transform, more guyver than kr but the difference is small).Yeah, the "gonzo" is really important to get across the idea that it is "space fantasy" rather than Star Wars style sci-fantasy. Spelljammer is a setting that would definitely benefit from a ground up remake that would allow for the inclusion of ideas that came out after it was originally released. A few ideas that I have thought of including in a Spelljammer setting:>A culture whose ships are helmed by dryads. (based on the space trees in Tenchi Muyo!)>A culture of (possibly not!Victorian) warforged whose spelljammers are basically giant transforming robots that they directly interface with>Eberron's Inspired being a Mindflayer servant caste created to man the serial helmsComment too long.

>>97805205My favorite setting is:>Planescape? I'd rather plan an escape!...through a portal, right? Greyhawk is nice old-school comfy fantasy. Forgotten Realms I 'member mostly from video game nostalgia. Eberron is a cool magicpunk setting with great worldbuilding.
>>97805205Ravenloft has always had a special place in my heart, followed closely by Dark Sun and Eberron.

Why do OSR boomers act like their shitty rollslop is good? It's unplayable and boring. Every edition is better than the last, so they are willingly choosing to play a bad edition. Wtf?Pic related, a shitty OSR dungeon
>>97814680Lol, no. Everybody with any understanding of the game knows that UA is in large part not very good, and DSG and WSG are mostly garbage. There's a reason we talk about first decade D&D, and it's the the quality of books dropped drastically after 1983ish.
>>97816086I thought it was because you're a giant faggot and you need to perform mental gymnastics to try and figure out how to try and steer your little slice of the OSR ship into fag town.
>>97814481The OSR community is full of elitist boomers or insufferable NuSR hippies HOWEVERThe games, speaking for the OSR side in my experience, are good and have an overall good mentality behind it. There are game designers that I personally absolutely despise that still contributed to good shit I occasionally pilfer.
I came into this thread to talk shit about OSR but then I went through a bunch of my old content and realized that the campaigns in which I leaned into the OSR thing were the best campaigns I've run
>>97810915>they basically colonized /osrg/ to make it forcibly a no-2e zonegood! thats our land now, redman!>No wonder nobody pays attention to them and their inane definitions of OSR outside /tg/ we dont givre flying fuck about the opinions of rpgnet or reddit, fishfag
Now that the dust has settled, is it the D&D killer it was hyped up to be?
>>97820448The only D&D killer is convincing your group to play a better game. Just like MTG and 40k, or even Disney products, D&D is for the shallowest normies who never look any deeper into the hobby then the cumstains of matt mercerIt is a slop game for slop eaters

What are your preferences for how elemental spells, abilities, and/or beings/creatures are handled in your games and/or settings? How would you advise someone on the best way to create an original elemental system for a game and/or setting in general, both mechanically and/or narratively?

Well its April 1st again. I return first of all to remember one of /tg/'s finest works: Dungeons the Dragoning 40,000 7th edition. Last year I gave the game a revision, stapling both books together so it could rival a phonebook.This year I have more DtD news: 8th edition is on the way. If you want to try out 7th edition before then though the book is in the same spot as always: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1HTYsfwiIWlGg4UZb5Bi32PYgTxKHUIp8There's also links to a place where you can wait for updates on a playtest. Otherwise, I'll just drop it all in the folder when its done. Happy April Fools.
Hell yeah, this game has been my autistic obsession since like 2017, happy to see it getting updates
>>97817778That's some good cover at. Might I suggest giving the lady of pain the VtM rose?
THANK YOU! I printed a copy of 6.66th edition :)
Happy April fools man.
what are the 8th edition changes like? is the melee vs caster balance fixed so that custom combat manuvers don't shit all over combat?
