Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first decade, Gygaxian D&D, its more faithful modern clones, and content created specifically for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere.Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended and taught by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots 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:>n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0>Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128>Need a starter dungeon?

>>96912927You play a Bound, someone who has died but made a deal with a geist, a powerful ghost that has surrendered its identity in exchange for great power. The spirit of the Bound and the geist share the body of the Bound, though the Bound gets to pilot the body while the geist provides various magical abilities, which becomes more powerful as the relationship between the geist and the Bound grows stronger. Players are expected to play their Bound as Sin-Eaters, which is the term for Bound who choose to use this second life as an opportunity to help the living and the dead alike, hence Geist: the Sin-Eaters.
>>96913020That's the point. One of the managed to change splats while keeping their animal aspect. So all the totem had to do was "rework" their magic into Spirit bullshit rather than Arcadian.

I learned how the alcohol that can effect/affect[never know which to use] kindred.Apparently you take a certain amount of vitae to the same part alcohol and leave it in a specially prepared barrel after you've mixed it first. This explains the sheer volume of the stuff at the manor.Also Scholar is in better shape though he has a "hangover that feels like I got pulled through a millimeter diameter tube then put through 18 rounds of the roughest beatings a kine can muster." so he'll be out of commission for a while. -Kakophoni

The night went well enough. I did not get murdered, I did not kill anyone, and there was no Masquerade breach. All in all, better than expected. >>96904921>>96908182I appreciate the advices. I took a page from the classics and pretended to be a lost and vulnerable waif until someone would try to help or take advantage of me. It worked well enough. I have my very own mugging knife, now.

Which mean you're most likely right and she's dead, and I'm probably soon to follow. Wonderous. >>96909465>>96909511There were mentions of an appointment with the powers that be to introduce me, but that's it. I've yet to meet any kindred beside my sire, and there's no convenient notebook listing the name and contact details of the local personalities, of course.What now? First priority seem to be making myself known to the city ruler?Should I try to find other kindreds and hope they're willing to help rather than murder me? Lie low, wait for some acquaintance of my sire to knock at her door and hope -they- are willing to help?

If your sire met an untimely end at the hands of an unknown party, they may be trying to find her haven and you don't want to be caught alone. After you've secured a new shelter, you can begin looking for the powers that be to introduce yourself.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>96912488How strong is the DA legion trait now? Before seemed completely useful but they made up for it with detachments

>>96912493They’re based on the og mining suits that terminators were built from and require a lot more effort to pilot in exchange for a lot of bulk. Vulkan upgraded them with better reactors and shielding to handle more energy intensive weapons. In game they primarily wield large disintegrator cannons or mechanicum style plasma bombards which are basically plasma artillery guns. They also wield short range particle shredders which I imagine are horrific warcrime weapons. Additionally they commonly have deep strike beacons built in so all but their base variant has an easy time ds
>>96912789Oh, right. Well it looks fine.

8 days since the last thread died Edition▶What is Kingdom Death?Kingdom Death is a tabletop minature brand stared by Adam Poots and operated by himself and his Team that later spun off into a miniature based bored game funded by two very successful Kickstarter campaigns.▶What is Kingdom Death: Monster?Monster is a Nightmare Horror cooperative boss battler/miniature hobby game for 1-4 players about hope in a strange world of bizarre monstrosities and perpetually darkness. Players take on the role of survivors that band together to form a settlement, fighting monsters, crafting weapons and gear, and developing their civilization to ensure survival from generation to generation.Prologue Narration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNLc8dHv0AcThe Game is broken up into 3 phases:1. During your Hunt Phase your band of survivors traverse the world of KD in pursuit of their quarry.2. After successfully tracking your quarry you will begin the Showdown Phase, where you must fell these horrific creatures in order to acquire precious resources.3. After the battle, your survivors wander home with loot in hand to begin the Settlement Phase. Arm yourself by developing new weapons and bizarre structures to prepare for next year's hunt.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>96859712Isn't there a hunt/settlement event that just says "start over unless you have guide post"? Swear I got that before.
>gce came in>dung beetle came in>dragon king on its way (got it for a steal)>lion knight coming in (its was so cheap nib I had to)I love painting these minis, the style and aesthetic are perfect for me, but will only get ones with game content. What's your must-have expansion recommendation?
>>96912227Black KnightGCESunstalker/Dragon KingDBKRed WitchesPeople also recommend Gorm but personally I dislike him visually (tbqh I dislike how every other nq1 looks too, besides white lion)
>>96912216It gives you the option to start over or to hunt another monster without recovering. You could just go hunt a level 1 white lion if you didn't want to restart. And restarting isn't a loss either, because you get to keep all your gear and your 4 hunting survivors, so you're starting from year 1 with a huge advantage.
>>96911549Yeah sorry, that was a dumb question. I was wondering more if there were big balance changes or changes to models that makes the latest version more worth it versus an old one someone is selling. But it looks mostly the same to me from a cursory search
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I hate Foundry because it's over-complicated, clunky, and because useless things like LOS and dynamic lighting are baked into the product. But, everyone seems to love it. What am I missing? Am I truly the only GM who despises line-of-sight and sound effects and all that video game shit? I don't want to carefully curate an experience, I want to run a game.
>>96900048tts is around 2 bucks per person
>>96910283it's $20 right now
>>96900072I'm sorry some of your players are shitasses, anon. I only play that game through Foundry these days, so we just use the VTT sheets. But way back before Comp/CON I ran the game live, using paper sheets, and it wasn't bad. Maybe you can insist on going analog again, if the screens are becoming a distraction.>>96900061Sometimes, it is because saying "this thing happens" will prompt an argument about "but I should be allowed to roll!" And the GM would rather not have that argument. Maybe this isn't even railroading! Maybe the players are just babies. But it is usually about railroading or protecting some pet NPC.Sometimes, it is because the GM's best friend has been pouring his heart and soul into the session, but the dice keep kicking him in the nuts. The GM wants to give him a win when things are at their most dire. But it is vastly less memorable, less fun, if the GM just says "nah, you hit him because you're cool."I have never done either of these. But I can understand the temptation.
I use maptools.

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!

>>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.
>>96912860>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.To be fair, that has been a tradition since almost the very beginning of the OSR. Finch's Old School Primer is filled with propaganda and falsehoods.
>>96912924Finch really tried his hardest to co-opt the entire OSR, but always seemed to make his big moves 1 or 2 years late.
>>96912711>Dungeon25That's a hard one, because a lot of those tend to blur together into fever dreams filled with liches, pits, and goblins.

>>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.
>>96912852>I've found that I have no interest in opening packs if the only hits are hyper rare 1 per 100 pallets shit.If this is what you are feeling then it stands to reason there's many more of the same mind. What that means is no one buys products, only singles. Why not? If all I need is the 1 of 100 packs card, why gamble if there's no other valuable hits? This means stores sell less and less until they can't justify the shelf space for junk no one wants. This is repeatedly happening all over, so don't think your game is exempt.

Do you think the Imperium let the Guard have access to sex servitors like how old European navies let their sailors have sex dolls or Dutch Wives on their ships?Is that too big a luxury for a shitty guardsman? Or is this exactly the "a bullet costs more than a human life" kind of scenario where a decraniated man or woman being a lovedoll is enough of a tiny morale boost that the Imperium rubbestamps the cost?
>>96911063They wouldn't but OP is neither the first nor the last faggot engaging in mental gymnastics to somehow justify his fetish.
Why are people geniunely discussing this? It's just a thread made by a faggot and everyone with half-a-brain already explained, multiple times, how retarded "sex-servitors for common grunt" are. All the faggots still arguing for validity of mass produced lobotomized sex slaves, are faggots too stupid to just masturbate instead of whining about their fetish to people on internet.
