“The strength of a wizard isn’t in how much magic they can muster, but how effective their magic is in effect”What’s more powerful? The wizard who can blow up planets or the wizard who can control one (1) mind without any defence against it?
Wizards suck

Kek. Magic is always arbitrarily powerful.

>produce indie module>send it to a few youtubers who review modules and have a decent reputation for independent thought>hey, I've seen some of this guy's videos and he has never once mentioned being paid>send free copy>get email from his agent quoting a price for a reviewWhy are they all like this?
>>97818502Can you stop crying? Most YouTubers are parasites that live out of other people's content (videogames, books, rpgs). They're not owed money by creators. And if they receive money for reviews, then they service is worthless because that's not a review is just paid advertisement. Making them both parasites and liars in this case
>>97820260Estrogen has ravaged the nerd community like opioids through poor white towns. Only difference is people praise this one more than the fact poor whites are dying.

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.

>"read the dmg" repeated ad nauseam>it's almost all tables and random rules for specific or optional things ok. what was I supposed to get from this? commit hundreds of pages to memory?
Simple rule to improve and balance wizards in OSR games: they can only memorize one casting of a given spell per day. You have 3 third level slots? You can cast one Fireball, not 2 or 3. Don't know any other 3rd level spells? Better go find some spellbooks. Hope you make your % chance to learn spell rolls (I won't bother addressing faggots who let wizards automatically learn new spells). God forbid you have to get more creative with your casting.
>>97821066Im not sure what you mean by this? I'd just like to know what you dislike about 1e DND
so fuckin desperate lol
>>97821119?
>>97793691>simple rule to make wizards a pain in the ass to play while making them 4% less powerful
does OP know that there are already games where magic and other options are balanced while still being fun and versatile?
▶Previous edition: >>97687864▶What is /gwsg/?A thread to talk about Games Workshop's specialist and spin-off games which fall between the cracks.Battlefleet Gothic, Blood Bowl, Epic, K*ll Team, Man-o-War, Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game, Mordheim,Necromunda, Shadow War: Armageddon, Titanicus, Underworlds, Warcry, Warhammer Quest, Warmaster......and any other GW system and board game are welcome.▶Helpful resources (feel free to suggest additions!):https://pastebin.com/qq9N8V0V▶TQ: What is the best Orc Specialist Game?
Just got Spike! Journal 21. Shortstack feet on page 18, uuuoooooooohhhh I'm gonna coom
>>97819267It's necromunda but with vehicle rule (forced too, game had to start with orks on vehicles), and modeling for advantage: Orks are on thin, oval bases like the one on green army men. So you can stack as many of them on a truck, but it they fell off they took damage. >>97818179They overproduced, there're lots of vehicles and accessories, even new boyz. Turn out ork didn't sell.
>>97820399If you guys are playing relatively RAW, it is pointless. The transitions in the succession campaign are very poorly balanced (what a shock!) and moving from Cinderak to Temenos you guys should all just reset gangs, or at the very least do something like rehiring gang members ar 1250+400c. Despite your outlier scenario Cinderak isn't deadly enough to warrant the 2000c starting lists, and any new gangs joining in Temenos start with 1000+400. The gang rating and even crew differences will be in the 1000s for just standard gangs, not even considering new joinees or your situation, or the characters randomly joining up. The move from Temenos to Jardlan is much smoother as those are both 1000+400, but even then if you play RAW any continuing gang will just be radically higher rating compared to a starting gang.Why a continuing gang also gets 250c on top of everything else when joining into the next campaign is beyond comprehension.
>>97820813Anon, thats a blue board.>>97820898>You play Imperium of Man or Eldar>Want to slice through Orks>But you only face Chaos or TauSad!
>>978197473rd party and 3D self printing.>>97818959It looks familiar. As if they took an Oberon Battleship and mixed it up with a normal cruiser.Classic colors are Green body with gold and white prow. Or white body with red prow.
I win the argument.
>>97821164Even for a troll, you’re unspeakably boring.
>>97821202even for a whore your wife has been fucked a lot by other men.
>>97822598Took you that long to think up a comeback, eh? Guess we see why people don’t invite you to the table.
>>97820859No. If you don't want to play then don't play
>>97822617Ironic LOL
Ever been called out for your shitty worldbuilding?
>>97820764"N...N-no games! He's a no-games, guys!"whatever you say friend, guess I'll just enjoy the session this Friday :^) I'll come up with an extra silly POI that makes everyone smile, just for you
>>97816506>legit just take a particular point in hsistory and shuffle it and you have a peak campaignThis post reads like a shitpost with zoomers talk, but this is uniornically my opinion and what a I consider the core of fantasy, more than people would like to admit. History being mishmashed together to create something unique but still almost familiar. >HarnmasterAnd Harn is definitely an example.
>>97820764I don't know why you're jumping from "I let the players add their own details to the setting" to "I don't do anything at all and the players have to do all all the worldbuilding instead".
>>97791782Using your fetishes for worldbuilding just makes sense, it's something you're passionate about and relatively unique to you which should hopefully come through in your writing.
>>97822242Too bad my fetishes veer too much into magical realm territory to be utilized for worldbuilding
>they didn't add alternate activation>again
>>97815718why do u think epic40k is better than mordheim >>97816036he argued that you have a low attention span , which is a strawman arguement but you are incorrect to say he did not issue an arguement
>>97796373>they didn't add alternate activation>againI think the primary reason why is because IGOUGO is primarily part of GW's Warhammer's game's identity like how paint pots are part of Citadel paint's brand identity.I don't believe alternate activation will magically fix the wargame, but it is a small improvement.
>>97816578>>97816540>>97816501>>97816178you don't need to mindfuck this, Epic figured all this shit out already>has every imaginable army from 40k>including activation skews>and All X extreme lists>it has alternating activations>shit works greatlike there's literally nothing to argue about. AA self-evidently can be done because it's been a thing for decades, and it handles 40k armies fun and fluffy enough that the same players have been playing it that long without getting bored. proof is in the pudding.not every anon is gonna prefer it, but AA obviously *works*.
>>97810820Archon Studio is actually pretty cool. Also Blizz is not licensing SC to Archon for money lol, it's a chump change for Blizz.
>>97822786Bruh Blizz of today is not the same Blizz. Microsoft's gaming division has been bleeding money for over a decade now, and Blizzard is no exception.

That's a big ass ship Archon is making so I hope the Colossus won't be scaled down too much. At least something like Knight Cerastus.Here's a nice tour of their factory btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wUyehmXkfs>>97822316This. Including his Voodoo in the gameplay would be nice.

It's a shame forgotten realms is the biggest dnd setting, since I feel like they fucked up the most with the drow background with the curse of ham stuff.

>>97819523If I recall correctly, if you roll under your unarmed fighting/brawling *and* under your martial arts skill, you get bonus damage.
>>97821548To be fair, odds are shit like that would straight up work in Lovecraft's universe given how a decent chunk of mysticism does work, even if most of them are spells are stuff.
>>97819504>Pulp Cthulhu is made for this if you want to try that out.I do but the guy most knowledgeable about CoC is running Cyberpunk right now.
>>97821548How many Chinese riots were put down by one man wing chun-ing his way through dozens of people? Chinese martial arts masters are almost always con-men who usually get their shit rocked in any kind of real fight and then go slink off in shame and pretend they didn't lose. the CCP loves holding up these guys and pretending like they're super legit because they play into China's fictional history of being a mystical, super advanced nation of highly disciplined warrior kings who lead armies of kung fu soldiers who can all kill a man with one touch.
>>97819486Apparently his son is still alive at 101 years old. That's pretty neat.
Is there ANY miniature wargame that isn't insanely expensive? I'm talking about things you can buy in a box and play immediately, not "print your own minis" bullshit or things where you're forced to use proxies cause official models don't exist.
>>97822486>greed = not evilSatanist
>>97822486When I was young, I was tall and strong. I realized I had two paths that opened to me because of this fact:> I could do whatever I feel like with the weaker people, terrorizing them.> I could protect the weaker people from others who, like me, are blessed to be taller and stronger, and decided to take the first route.I decided for the second route. I think the definition of evil is taking the first route.Being _Games Workshop_ and deciding to charge 30-100 dollars for a model that costs you 0.1-0.3 dollars to produce and at max ten hours of manpower to design and model, all while hunting down innocent people who try to manufacture cheaper ways to enjoy a game they grew to love, that's taking the first path. That's evil.
>>97822511>>97822527>I demand free stuff from companies!
>>97822527You get some of that with companies that sell baby formulae and whatnot. But GW manufacture toy soldiers, a luxury product. They sell to willing buyers at the market rate. They aren't extorting anyone.
>>97822527GW is 100% over priced, but you've either never worked any near this industry or just lying to push your point. You're probably right in saying a space marine cost 10 cents in plastic, but thats just plastic. Ignoring all the costs associated with running a business. Warehouses, stores, shipping, and manufacture. Injection molding requires you make insanely expensive molds and operate/maintain ridiculously expensive machines. Then you skip to 10 hours of modeling, which again, for a basic space marine, sure. But you're ignoring what makes a space marine a space marine. Notice how on every box, the model is painted really nice? They pay for someone to do that. Pay for someone to design the box. Pay for people to write short stories about how cool this marine is. Pay for people to write all their bullshit (I'm talking about the readily available free content). You can think all this shit is gay which fair enough. I hate defending corporations, but people always skip too far in the "its only 20 cents for this 40 dollar model!">all while hunting down innocent people who try to manufacture cheaper ways to enjoy a game they grew to love50/50 on this. people who are just stealing their designs are fair game. people who make their own stuff or fan content for fun? GW deserves to burn for that. who ever carried out the + purge is owed a special place in hell.
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.

>>97818549Oh yeah! Sweet anon thx.
>>97818523Forgot to include the reasoning of the Yin as a unit of mesurment. A yin is the average height of a Guyin converted into a standardized unit.
Still haven't settled on units of time and weight. Probably will just keep most time units the same (seconds, minutes, hours).Will intentionally keep vague about how long the day and nights are.Months/years are totally different though. Such time scale is based on the lunar cycle which takes around 400 days. So instead of months a cycle is broken up into the 8 phases of the moon.The world doesn't have the same tilt or wobble of earth so the differences between seasons is very mild across the world, mostly taking the form of wet and dry seasons. You generally will only see snow on mountain tops.Debated with myself if I should make seasons a full lunar cycle long but decided against it and instead will just wing it for whatever best fits the mood I am going for at the time.But yeah, really not sure on weight. Even if I transpose one from earth I am not really sure which one I should grab and if I should change the unit names or not.
Long in the future, some hyperadvanced civilization has constructed monstrously massive pylons. They’re hundreds of lightyears wide, billions of lightyears long, and they lattice across the universe like a gargantuan spiderweb. These pylons are full of entropy-defying engines, producing matter and energy in a universe where all the stars have long burned out and all the planets are cold wastelands. These pylons are home to septillions of people and… That’s where I get stuck because I have no idea what to do with this setting.
>>97784855>Do you use any lesser-known mythologies, histories, or regions as inspiration? If so, which ones, and what appeals to you about them?One of my main religions is based on Manicheanism. http://www.gnosis.org/library/manis.htm
I'll start>D&D 5E is a heroic fantasy game (I didn't say good), trying to do anything else should have you using a different system.
>>97820170True!
>>97821809Counterpoint: nobody should ever run campaigns at all. And newfags (below a year in the hobby) should run exclusively oneshots, each with different system, until they figure out what they like and what's the style of game that suits them.There is nothing worse than newfags getting brand loyalty before even trying 3 different games.
>>97821700No, not an example of that. Try again.
