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/9fzM6128>Need a starter dungeon?

>>97222508>Then I shall wing itThat's the way!>Anyone have any experience with Dolmenwood? I think it was made for OSE, but they turned it into its own thing.Disneywood? It's mostly okay, but not as great as most people here hoped it would be:https://torchless.substack.com/p/setting-boundaries-the-ruin-thatAlso it's bloated. Three features per hex is too much, with no room for dynamic on-the-fly content generation. If you want to learn how to get started as an Old School DM, check out GFC's videos, all of them.https://www.youtube.com/@gfcsdnd205/videosIf you want resources to create your own mini-setting, download Wilderness Hexplore and check out Appendix A and B from the DMG: They're all 99.7% compatible with B/X out of the box and all you need to get started as a DM. Get one of the classic modules (B2 and Stonehell are the two most beloved ones, and they can be combined) and have fun.
>>97222508Dolmenwood is not a great starter game, t b h. The hexcrawl is very screwy and nonstandard and will not teach you good habits, and the classes are somewhat intentionally weird.Any particular reason you're looking at Dolmenwood specifically? We might be able to suggest some better option.
>>97222647I was looking for games through VTT and this one seemed the most appealing. A romantic fairy-tale in a gael-like forest seems cool. I'm a romantic guy, and fairies are cool.I saw that on VTT, it has OSE rules, but there's now a seperate ruleset for it or something.>>97222646aaaaaaaaa that's put me off
>>97222690>I was looking for games through VTT and this one seemed the most appealing. A romantic fairy-tale in a gael-like forest seems cool. I'm a romantic guy, and fairies are cool.That's fair, that's fair. We should probably warn you though, OSR games aren't very romantic by nature. PCs die like pigs hap-hazard all the time.>it has OSE rules, but there's now a seperate ruleset for it or somethingYeah, Dolmenwood was originally meant to be a supplement for OSE (in fact he created OSE to be the ruleset for the Dolmenwood supplement) but then Norman lost his shit and decided to go huge and make it a bloated standalone game. Opinions differ on whether it was the OGL debacle or the prospect of more efficient Kickstarter whalemilking that motivated him, or if he just has an innate bloat problem (see also the three things per hex when the proper ratio is somewhere between 1:6 and 1:10 hexes having ONE feature).
>>97222721>see also the three things per hex when the proper ratio is somewhere between 1:6 and 1:10 hexes having ONE featureI've said it before and I'll say it again: That part is fixed very easily: Make the Dolmenwood hexes 24 or 30 mile each. That way you're back to 1:5 or 1:8 features per six-mile hex, Dolmenwood becomes huge and unpredictable, safe towns are few and far apart, roads are long and perilous, and the setting as a whole has room to breathe. The setting as a whole is large enough that you can even drop new factions and realms in it.Fuck it, I could even do that one of these days and see what comes up.
Dedicated Drizzt Do'Urden EditionDiscuss and post elves. Elf lore, gameplay, and art are all appreciated.QOTT: What drove you to elves specifically?
>>97163705Meanwhile the pseud who wrote this wall of garbage nobody reads and the fags that screen cap/post it look like this irl
>>97200255Depends what your definition of prude means, but the ideal elven characterization when it comes to their sensuality is that: elves understand and readily accept they are the most physically attractive race and they take pride in their beauty. Flowers, sunsets, and rainbows don't hide themselves away behind layers and neither do elves - but elves also aren't rampant exhibitionists since they aren't whores and won't show just anyone the goods. Light elves would wear form fitting and thin clothes that show off a lot of skin but ultimately would leave everything but the curves up to the viewer's imagination. Dark elves would show more skin but they too would keep covered up since they're not common street walkers to be oogled at by their lessers. IRL examples would be women who wear yoga pants and tank tops to the gym (light elves) vs women who wear spandex shorts and sports bras (dark elves). You basically already know what their bodies look like but there's enough left covered up.
>>97217575No but its common in fantasyslop that there is no real difference between fantasy races beyond superficial features. Unfortunately 99.99% of post-1991 fantasy is fantasyslop including whatever garbage you're consuming.

>>97222515Andoran has a city named Augustana. It’s a major shipping and naval hub somewhat analogous to Boston (also New York, but that’s not the important one.)In 2006 (not 2005, though the album released that year), a band named Augustana had their only Billboard Top 100 hit. This was a song called Boston. I do not believe the city’s name and real life inspiration are a coincidence.

>>97221979For whatever reason I didn't mind what the changes to Ipithymia nearly as much as I did those to Lover. In part it's probably because I always found loli genderbent UCS sex street pretty silly, and in part because Ipithymia, unlike Lover, at least gets a pretty interesting new deal to replace what was removed. It's true that just having the new Ipithymia be a new character with a new name would've been better, though.
>>97221979>At that point, just make a different character so that people who liked her can feel free to port her forward without much hassle.You could say the same thing for 3e in general though. Just make a different game.
>>97222115Nah, 3E as a whole, for all its flaws, is definitely Exalted and obviously written by people who care a whole lot about Exalted. The worst parts about 3E, setting aside the mechanical issues of the core, aren't ones where the writers seem like they'd want to write something else but ones where they half-ass things due to obviously being embarrassed of something from the past editions but simultaneously too fond of that something to really let go and change things. I mean things like Raksi being sort of a cannibal monster still but kind of not, or Lilith, or Lover, or, to a lesser extent, Ipithymia.

>>97222172Well those are two roles that would be very unsatisfying if you made them much more granular. That said they're not quite as insubstantial as they seem.Charismatic Impact is actually crunchier than it might immediately appear; I just find GMs don't tend to pay enough attention and can sometimes make it work like mind control. Broadly its a way to scattershot assistance wherever you go; unlike Backup or an Exec's Teamwork, you can run into fans anywhere and you don't have to drag them with you. Even at rank 4 there's more going on than it would appear: Being able to play at well known Clubs necessarily gets you into all the well known club, and you're one rank away from necessarily being able to play (and thus enter) any club that's not explicitly exclusive. Otherwise you're building effectively a contact list as you make fans and can shake them down weekly (figuratively) for favors, which has the rules breakdown of "I have an ever increasing pool of NPCs that I get a favorable social roll on to just have them do shit for me". Use that smartly, and you're going to have the rockstar treatment wherever you go in the most literal sense of the word.Similarly, Credibility has some bite to it if the GM will just play it right. Passive rumors go automatically, so the GM should be keeping you connected and assuming he's not feeding you bullshit intentionally, something is going to be useful. Even if it's not, publishing can work a variety of ways to your advantage more than just having a magazine. You can 'publish' to individual people or organizations and what you publish doesn't even need to be true. It's definitely more fluffy than all the others and more nebulous than Charismatic Impact though.
>>97215169How the hell does this thing fly?>>97222245A good Referee can make Credibility the most influential ability in the game.
>>97222245It's not about being "granular," it's about giving those roles something to do outside of their vague ass narrative powers.

Anyone here could spruce it up a little. Most of the info is barely 2 pages long at the beginning, middle and towards the end, excluding the little story that's just the same thing at the middle but in a much longer story format and not that good, I much prefer the raw info.

>>97218754law: kinda obviousgameplay: promblems with multiple core game mechanics, no mapplay, no objective play, no conceal, activation problems, weapon scaling (looking at something and jst deleting it is not a good mechanic if yor remember D weapons in bighammer befor damagenumbers over 10 was a thing)
>>97218754Impressive... but that guy would just be stuck in your starting zone because there is no way he can manuver through dense killteam terrain, so you would most likely lose on points
>>97221316>no way he can manoeuvre
>>97215105It’s the opposite. I don’t care that much about the lore but i likewise don’t want to play against some ballaching metafag which is the majority of people i’ve met in KT so far. To claim that you just want to “throw some dice” is absurd when metafags are the least casual players you can go against.My last game had my opponent go over the entire meta leaderboard status of the top teams and how the newest dataslate could impact the upcoming this and that other fuckin tournament. Who gives a shit. >>97216044I’ve never met the latter in my life in any game. I would find a /yourdudes/ autist pretty annoying i’m sure but i’ve yet to even meet one to make this observation. The most fun games are somewhere in the middle where it’s a good clean fun game where the rules are observed but both sides remember that we are trying to simulate dudes fighting eachother and not merely moving spreadsheets around
Men who make/roleplay female characters, why do you? Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?>inb4 I don't because I'm not a faggut, hurr durr
>>97139776>Men who make/roleplay female characters, why do you?Quite a lot of my income comes from writing erotic fiction. Playing women in TTRPGs means they end up in situations which I can then leverage into erotic scenarios to use in my books. Plus it's fun to imagine all the pretty clothes my character can wear. Say anything else you want, women's clothes are a LOT more fun than mens.
>>97215717I think he means it’s impossible for a women to swing a sword without it being a direct result of femdom muscle women fetishes by the author. Something around there
>>97220297>it's fun to imagine all the pretty clothes my character can wear.Actually true. I don't know if it's just the fashion culture, but guy's clothes feel more samey than a lady that's offered eight types of necklines, a myriad of pleat styles, or even just an opening in the dress to flaunt back or hip. Yes it's fantasy, you can give men ruffles and codpieces and tights and patterns like you can't really find in current year factory production fashion, but then you risk being a homo fruit for wanting to play a member of the Swiss Guard and not a knight in plate armor where the most variance is in helmet shape.My sorceress for example was designed with the idea of her fire magic making her naturally warm enough for minimal layers while wanting to have flair, and that accidentally reverse-engineered a belly-dancer outfit. A sash-supported top for lots of skin exposure, but tied with excess along with a long flowing dress skirt and veil capelet for accentuating and allowing for freedom of movement.
>>97216180I know almost all of my players' fetishes except one guy'sI suspect evil women because he sounds horny whenever Orin is on screen in BG3
>>97220297I want to do this. I don't even care about money, I want to turn my campaigns into an erotic novel. How did you do this? Can you share an example of your notes?
