I'm running an into the odd campaign and I'm going to use some elemental magic as a base for the magic system.It will have all the classics, but I want to add some more obscure or unusual elementals too.So far I got the ideia of dividing wind and air into two different elemental groups.One pushes stuff and makes tornadosThe other is more like suffocation, oxygen and oxidation. Flesh is a cool one and well as blood.Soul energy (green) Life energy (red) spiritual energy (blue) and occult energy (purple)Wood/plantsComment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>96910790Making variations on ItO's Arcanum that are still light and work with the system's design intentions is an interesting exercise and way to adapt the game back to a more traditional fantasy dungeon crawl without having to go full Mythic Bastionland levels of involvement. >>96910817>Ashes Nice. There's a decent inspirational magic spell/ability table in Mazerats if you haven't seen it for players who need a bit more to work with.
>>96910694for me, it's the nail elementsee you next month
>>96910823Ok...Well I'm going to tell you straight up, "occult" is not an element, it would be more of a description or category that elements fall under or the means of using soul/spirit/life and flesh/blood and darkness/shadows in a way that is different than divine, or the method in which the "energy" is extracted. How are you even differentiating soul, life, and spirit? You might be able to distinguish life in some way, but soul and spirit are going to be very hard to differentiate in any meaningful way. All of them are the "supernatural" aspect of life, where is the physical "Body" besides blood/flesh (no bone?) or "Anima" aspect?Same with darkness and shadow, unless you are meaning to say darkness takes on malicious properties and shadow is more deceit, stealth, or possibly illusionary.How is steam distinct from, as opposed to combined with, water+heat? Where/what do gasses and mist do if not under the domain of air, with smoke really being carbon particles (usually caused by fire) in the air? Fire and oxidation are really processes, not actually "things". Fire and rust are typically what happens when things are oxidized, fire being it's own element and rust usually being considered either part water or metal element.Idk man. I like elements too, but some of these imo just don't work well.

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 early Dungeons & Dragons - 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 on this playstyle.>Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128>Need a starter dungeon?

Make a wilderness locationSkull Hive: The remains of a titanic beast. The rest of the body has long since fallen into the depths of the earth, but the cranium remains. Inside, giant bees have been processing the titan's brain matter into psychic honey. The substance is described as "looking and tasting like amethyst", and allows those who consume it to see a second ahead into the future for one minute (treat as +4 to saves to dodge or avoid, +1 to all other combat rolls, always act first in combat, hallucinate buzzing in your skull for a week which removes the benefits of sleeping). The bees are, naturally, hopped up on the stuff 24/7. Good luck.
>>96908058Theres been pretty considerate anti 2e Trolling/offtopic posting for a long time now. Its just trolls purity sprialling because they think the OSR is only BX, 0e and 1e. ignore it and report it.
>>96912464The guy who wrote the noob guide is a weird guy who belongs to the BrOSR school of thought (BrOSR basically advocates a much more narrow interpretation of what OSR is), and wrote the whole thing as propaganda, and even has then spent a good chunk of his life trying to pretend the whole /osrg/ signed off on it, despite people constantly pointing out all the things wrong with it. There was even a time when the mods would delete it because the propaganda is actually that obvious that even mods can see it for what it is.The guy didn't write it to help noobs, he wrote it to try and groom them into his cult. Even the FAQ is almost silly in how transparently unhelpful it is, because instead of answering actual frequently asked questions like "What are some good beginner adventures?" it instead just tries to reinforce his whole central thesis of "Wah wah, 2e isn't OSR, wah wah." It even starts out just by trying to tell noobs not how to start playing OSR, but a rant about how 2e must be excluded in order to preserve the PVRITY. And, if that wasn't enough, he even added an appendix just to further rant about it.

>New TCG comes out>Already features cheap bandaid mechanisms like mulligan and/or sideboards, usually bothHow come editors get so little confidence about their games?
>>96912097>Sideboards! That terrible braindead scam bandaid in plain sight! WA LAO AIIIEEEEPlease explain your preferred TCG and why it's superior.
>>96910381>Ultimately this proves they messed up their attempt to restore good faith in the community many times now, but they're licensed for a set amount of years, so the company largely looks like its going through the motions trying to keep this thing alive.This is exactly what it had felt like for longer than I can remember. I have no respect left for FFG, which pains me because that company got me into advanced tabletop games. This is a fucking damn shame because they make good shit over and over, but then let it all die on the vine because Asmodee share holders thinks it is in their best interest. Never sell out is the life lesson. *spits on FFG's headstone*
>>96912097>mulligan>cheap bandaid mechanismAlmost every game benefits from a mulligan rule, as almost every game is influenced heavily by the opening hand. If you're at a huge disadvantage from the beginning of the game, the game isn't very fun. If you can mulligan and still be losing at the opening hand, that's on you as a deckbuilding fail.
>>96911369>I just hope they can drive the value into the chase cards to keep decks cheap, which seems to be the goal of most recently launched tcgs.I wonder if this actually damages the games sales. While I love decks being cheap, I've found that I have no interest in opening packs if the only hits are hyper rare 1 per 100 pallets shit.

>>96907018>What are you expecting/hoping for - more premade adventures, more rulebooks or..?Official, proper support for the 2070s, and not another fucking premade adventure. Less filler DLCs, I'd rather have less frequent DLC that is more consistent than a monthly thing that puts undue workload for something that isn't worthwhile. And stop with fucking ELO.RTal is an expert at hitting when the iron is so cold it's starting to rust, the CEMK was announced in November 2022 because Edgerunners (which aired in September) was a massive success so they scrambled for it, releasing in June 2024. The 2077 book hasn't just been getting kicked down the road for years (it's hard to look up when it was announced because the phrase "2070s" shows up for the first time in May 2024 and "2077" constantly comes up because of the game), it was downgraded from being a sourcebook for the period (so presumably rules, gear, vehicles, setting info) to being a campaign set in it as of GenCon this year.I'm sure there are people who play in the 2040s, but most people I see online have been running the 2070s using Red for years, or even the 2020s because they prefer the system to 2020's.
>>96912184At this point I’m positive they will release 2077 sourcebook when Orion takes off to cash in on that sequel hype.
>>96911958He's offering to work on the Cyberpunk 2077 movie with Keanu and contribute writing for Cyberpunk 2077 2. He might be old but he could still have a lot of energy.Also I'm pretty sure his RED contributions was just his 20+ years of notes because after the core rulebook the tone changed drastically (Agents of Desire was good though).

How do I write a villain who is always two steps ahead?
>>96910674Aside from just metagaming the PC plans and justifying it by saying the villain had spies, a crystal ball, or is jus that smart, you can also set them up where they're manipulating both sides of a conflict.Then no matter what happens, it's moving their goals forward in some way, and so they're always able to claim that the PCs did exactly what they wanted them to do.

>>96911072Conjunctions. It's not terrible and people remember the general premise of them but at the same time many people seem to misremember them. Usually they mix up "then" and "also".The other big one is summon response window, particularly with cards that insulate on summon like Branded Lost.
>>96911953This is the correct answer. It can be broken down into several steps that happen in an instant with little to no interaction. And there are a lot of cards that use it as cover to force their effects through without fear of handtraps.
