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.

>>97823699That makes sense, in our group at least we rationalize this as everyone gets a full share but the people occupying important leadership and management rolls(PCs) get a double share. My character is the quartermaster so we could probably justify it by saying the henchmen is just temporarily taking over the roll and ofc receives full compensation for doing it.
>>97823678Yes.
>>97823761yeah id let that fly.
>>97823783Yeah cuz its in the rules if the game.
>>97823799Which edition and book?I dont remember a citation about upgrading henchmen to full shares for use as a PC temporarily, just one of those things I've used for so long I dont remember if its a house rules or not.

>>97816979Splicers!The key point is the Bio-E they get assigned. Deeadguards get the most, then roughnecks, then outsiders. The Bio-E means more mods or enhancements, on top of that dreadguards get some metabolism and can upgrade ro a dreadnaught. I think Outriders get host armors because almost all warmounts are saddle mounted. Not just an exposed cockpit but that you are on top of the thing. In my campaign when the Machine was controlling troops they would target the warmount rider.
>>97816979>Also, how exactly is humanity organized? There are nobles mentioned, but they're ruled by warlords selected through duels, so how does that work?As I understand it, they have different governments but they all are they all are under emergency wartime protocols. So they have their own ways of handling the government work but a feudal warlord has executive power. Personally, I throw most of the office names out and go full weeb: Houses are run by a warlord and families of dreadguards are his retainers. The engineers and all the bio machine makers are a the psuedo religious class is that they dont have power outside of everyone depedending on them and that they are all weirdos and they talk about weird things people dont understand.>Finally, what is a true Gene-Pool, the stare of a gene-pool beyond Engineer and Librarian?Genepools are saints, basically. Saints become engineers and their legs form genepools. In Swven Years on Cerebus the genepools just happen. Some Saints become Librarians instead.It should be noted that genepools arent just holes. They are concave organs with millions of microscopic tendrils that physically reach into cells one by one and insert genes. The goo is just ambiotic fluid, iirc.You are probably right some OCCs getting host armors to justify the creation rules but I personally think its the roughnecks. In their skills they dont actually include host armor piloting.

He was in his prime during the 1920s.
>>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.
>>97822762>BJJ/MMA retard having one of his usual shitfits about how traditional martial arts don't work, hoping they can convince more people into go practice advanced homosexuality in his gym instead
>>97822953The guys right, though. There are thousands of cops and soldiers that train other troops in hand to hand combat and riot tactics, but no one would consider them legendary masters. They're just dudes who can kinda fight better than the average dude.It is stupid when MMA nutriders claim every trad martial artist was a fraud, but it is equally dumb that trad ma enthusiasts get outraged at any suggestion that their heroes were decent fighters, as opposed to unstoppable crawling machines.TQ; A martial arts master would be a great pc in CoC.
>>97822953Ip Man famously got his ass kicked so hard, twice, that he stopped telling people he was a martial artist.China has thousands of fake masters leading massive cult-like kung fu organizations who make McDojo tough guys look like world class killing machines. If they ever get conceited enough to believe the lies they tell their students about how powerful they are, they usually end up in an exhibition match with some low tier wannabe pro fighter and then they get their shit rocked so hard that the Chinese government has to step in and run a demoralization campaign against the fighter for daring to expose some retarded fraud who is otherwise good for tourism and PR.

Ever been called out for your shitty worldbuilding?
>>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
>>97822235>When players ask questions like "Is there an X nearby?", the DM frequently goes "I dunno, if you think it makes sense then describe it to me". Or the DM will pick a player and ask them to describe some feature of the scene or area.Gee, idk why anyone would jump to the conclusion that the DM is having the players do all the worldbuilding from this description of a DM doing exactly that.
I like this modelThis looks cool
>>97820501Perhaps, I kinda forgot about the Half Trukk that FW made years ago
>>97820355It could have made sense, in a parallel dimension where GW had long established that different guard regiments with clearly defined equipment and vehicle restrictions exist. There, it could just happen that a regiment simply has no access to chimeras, so they need a transport and for whatever political or logistical reason, they are supplied by a forge world with an STL for that particular vehicle. But GW never bothered to flesh their regiments out like this, so this will just have to be your head canon, or you ignore the new transport. I'm certain guard is playable without it just fine for years to come. In regards to the command vehicle. I agree that it looks nice, but a chimera chassis salamander command tank would have done the trick as well.
