>>97818155Got it. Thanks anon.
What a laughable excuse for a collector chase card
>>97818349>Mark PooleMelty incoming. Though, its nice they got the artist for the original to come back for this homage.
>>97817626>prepares your channel
>>97818285But we if we include Hogwarts Legacy characters then we have Sir Ryan as an example of a trans character. So it's not as if JKR is against letting troons into her IP. Honestly, at this point worc would be able to check every DEI box without needing to invent new characters or change existing characters. Hell, the main villain is a white man leading a race supremacist group. You'd think wotc would love to get their hands on Harry Potter.
I steal a lot of ideas and plot points from TV shows and books. My players are normalfags that don't consume anything that isn't current and popular, so they don't know how much I steal. The few times they actually caught on, they were fine with it.I'm just worried I am creating a bad habit. I have tons of original ideas as well, but I'm very demotivated, since a lot of adventures fell through for one reason or another and I had to come up with brand new concepts every time, so I have been stealing a lot more recently.
>>97817754It's addressing what original is, an origin point. I could make a can myself, that wouldn't make it original. The ideas and construction of it came from [other][origins].
>>97818136That's nice? so what, you going to avoid sphere shaped planets, towns that speak a language, people who attack each other with sharp metal?
>anon winces every time someone posts OC art
>>97818375I don't avoid anything.I accept that nothing from human inception is original, make what I enjoy, and don't insist on chasing the illusion of "originality".( Longer version: >>97817115 ).
>>97818389In the case of OC, "original" is relative, not objective.Unfortunately, the way OP framed his topic heavily insinuates an objective originality, which is inherently impossible.

>>97817578I didn't get to play with it that much before it wen all paywall, but its ability to make images was pretty hit or miss, especially when it came to various art styles.Its video generator was pretty good for animating existing images.

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created 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 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 that you can check for help:>n00b DM's Guidehttps://pastebin.com/EVvt6P0B>n00b Player's Handbookhttps://pastebin.com/XALkXkV0>Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128Comment too long.

Welcome to /wbg/, the official thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.Here is where you go to present and develop the details of your worlds such as lore, factions, magic and ecosystems. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art (either created by you or used as inspiration for your work). Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback or post whatever relevant input you might have!Last thread: >>97665641Resources for Newfags: https://sites.google.com/view/wbgeneral/Worldbuilding links: pastee.dev/p/sp2Mdb5Ihttps://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view/Eo+fK41FKVR7xDpbNO0a0N4k0YYxrmyrhX3VxnM14Ew/Fantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator/wbi/: https://discord.gg/6ZjEc7dy4TWorldbuilding Hub: https://discord.com/invite/wGjxK3YThe Writer's Forge: https://discord.com/invite/CUxHxWqTira: https://discord.com/invite/f52W6KgDawn of Victory: https://discord.gg/hUAynC3wConlangerama: https://discord.com/invite/ceKjZBr2jCComment too long.

>>97815762The Fence is the only person who can turn a "liability" (stolen goods) into an "asset" (spendable cash). They take the highest risk by holding the physical evidence, which is why they usually take 70–80% of the profit.BONUS:The Tax Man (The Protection Racket). Even the underworld has taxes. If you operate in a certain district, you pay the local "Power Node" for the privilege of not being robbed by other criminals. This "Internal Tax" is what funds the "Social Services" (the healers and the bribes for the bureaucrats)
>>97814985To better explain what I'm trying to go for. I wanted to create a series of spell like abilities that represent the schools of magic that can later be upgraded and modified by things like the subclass you choose or other class features I haven't figure out yet.Stealing from Warlock, a basic blasting spell like Eldritch blast would become the basic representation for the evocation school, generating a shield would be abjuration, arcane senses for divination, a version of presdigation/minor illusion for illusion, etc
>>97813659>>97813683It started as the northernmost Greek colony on the Italian mainland, and the Greeks didn't care about large navigable rivers near their settlements, they generally just wanted a sheltered port on the coast, some farmland and a few springs nearby, and would let the landlubbers do any of the possible overland trading. Shipping by sea, for example grain from Crimea to Athens or Corinthian pottery from the Greek mainland to Etruria, was cheap over massive distances. The freshwater situation in Naples was so shitty the Greek colonists already in the 5th century BC constructed the 10 km long Bolla Aqueduct, partially running underground, to supply the city from a marshy aquifer area on the foothills of Mt Vesuvius. Sebeto was the only river of any importance flowing nearby.
Think I finally nailed my units of lengthBase unit is a foot. There are 5 feet in a standardized pace. 3 in a step. Used in the same context of yard. So something is such and such paces away. Or two paces long. etc. The hole is 3 steps deep. The stone slid 4 steps to the left. etc. Strides are 4000 feet. Based on the average distance someone can walk in the wilds in one hour. So its not uncommon phasing to describe directions as being a hours stride north west, or 2 and a half hours stride east. It is around the middle distance between a mile and a kilometer and used in the setting's context in a similar way. So a person used to miles can think of strides as similar to miles in their head. While someone used to kilometers will think of strides similar to kilometers. Anything smaller I use comparisons or fractions rather than smaller standardized units. I doubt I will meaningfully need larger units so those too can be handled with comparisons to get scale across.
>>97784855Quick question - is there any fantasy or urban fantasy equivalent to the Space Marines? They're made by implanting various extra organs with some genetic modification from the geneseed. I can't think of anything else quite like that in other settings.
Prostitution is the oldest profession. It has always existed and it will always exist. The presence of prostitutes and brothels is crucial for making a game setting and world feel realistic and lived in. Otherwise, it will lack all verisimilitude. So, tell us, how have you incorporated prostitution into your game?
>>97811889This looks like SHIT
>>97811889
>>97818352>FUCKING WIDOWS would get remarried instead of turning to prostitution.That had often more to do with laying claim on the wealth left behind by the late husband than concern about the woman's future.
>>97818352>FUCKING WIDOWS would get remarried instead of turning to prostitution.Well yeah, I imagine most women back in ye olde tymes didn't want a bunch of foreign, unwashed, and potentially diseased [ugly bastard] dicks in them.It isn't like today where the promise of STD treatments and abortions make women feel better about spreading for money, but the smart ones have figured out they only have to do that with a couple guys, have the babies, then extort alimony forever while also getting paid on Twitch and OnlyFans.
>>97818387Syphilis was not a thing until age of sail.Aids was not a thing until 20th century.Contraceptives know at the time were allegedly pretty reliable (most notably Silphium plant).For large part of history whore's only risk was not getting paid.
Have you heard the Primordial Truth?
>>97807967I HAVEN'T "HEARD" A DAMNED THING IN A GOOD 10,000 YEARS, BOOK BOY!
>>97813506It's because they're the masters of brainwashing and work on a long scale. They are the carrot while the rest of the Imperium is the stick. They seed missionaries and orders of sisters who act as spies to slowly crumble the host culture generations before Imperial forces show up. All to make the host culture naturally more subservient to their new masters. And if they don't, they can be wiped out and replaced by pilgrims.
>>97813694That's how you can tell it's real and not just cope to comfort the grieving and the dying.
>>97817686The Imperium is De-Jure any place where humans exist. During the Great Crusade, before the emergence of the Imperial Creed the Emperor essentially reconquered all (or the vast majority of) the worlds colonied by humanity in remote antiquity. When the Emperor died, large swathes of this territory were abandoned, but the people there sitll remembered the Emperor. This is why in Eisenhorn they find themselves on a completely uncharted world in the middle of nowhere and the people there still worship the Emperor, albeit in a dimly remembered way.The Ecclesiarchy is not a tool of control per-se, because half of the rebellions are led by local Cardinals or priests. Rather, it deliberately acts as a cultural lubricant to allow what ought to be millions of discrete nations to coexist under the same banner, and also as a source of common ground between conflicting factions as common to them as their shared humanity.The Merchants being robbed and the Pirates robbing them are both worshippers of the Emperor, and nobody in that scenario would see anyything strange about that.wtf is up with this new capcha
>>97807971This but unironically. Order is slavery, Chaos is freedom.
You know what'd be a great April Fools' joke, if this board wasn't absolute dogshit for a day.
>man, it would be nice if this board wasn't shit>posts shimmy art
>>97818367Unfortunately, even that is too much to ask.So what are story mechs like in your worldbuilding setting? Could you elaborate on that while posting a photobash commissioned by a dirty shitskin?

>>97818057No.
>>97818057No, I don't think I will enforce these rules.
>>97818057All this reads as is "please post AI art in the thread". I'm onto your tricks.
>>97818057Based and correct.
>>97818057Funny that 3rd edition had some anti-ai stances, and these days Wotc is looking to use ai wherever they can. The developers of 3e would be so upset now.
Jolly good time>Cyberpunk 2020 vs. Cyberpunk RED?Cyberpunk 2020 is the second edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG by R.

It focuses on simulationist gameplay and lethal near-future combat.Cyberpunk RED is the latest edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG, set after the devastating Fourth Corporate War. It focuses on more balanced, streamlined gameplay and is currently supported by R.

>>97818141I actually had an idea for a cyberpunk theme park campaign inspired by Westworld and Jurassic park. Where at some point rogue blackwall AI get into the animatronics and start killing guests. Including the dinosaur ones.
>>97818167I thought Biotechnica can only bring back small extinct animals like rabbits and birds. Anything bigger like a bear or a dinosaur is probably beyond their current ability.
>>97818298The pet dlc shows they can bring back bears and bigger creatures just fine
>>97818298>>97818308One of the adventures has a corpo with a pet lion or tiger that has a few neurons twisted in its brain to be a guard animal. I forgot if it was in 2020 or RED but Biotechnica has the capacity to do so if they can do all that. Especially that 2020 pet list that has underwater creatures too.

What kind of countryside shops are in your settings worldbuilding? Does your character ever go shopping in locations such as these?
>>97770865have you tried other threads? this isn't the only one on the board you know
>>97815548the players were told to look for a rare artifact for a world renowned artistthey were told little about it, other than it was a hand crafted artists toolit turned out to be a yellow painted wooden stick with a tiny bit of black lead inside that could make lines finer than charcoal and a strange gummy material on the other side that could remove lines more easily than stale breadit took about 20 seconds before the players realized what was being described and they all had a good chuckle
>>97815583What game?
>>97815570But it's the best one.
>>97815496Big, small, red, green, used in different meals.

why don't they just shave the weasels so they can regrow the hair like they do with sheep wool?
>>97818281One of the reasons they're so good is because of the soul of the weasel. Think of them as enchanted items.
>>97818281You try giving a weasel a haircut.
So, you know guys, treat your brushes well. Somebody literally gave up their life for them.
