Why is it so common for fantasy rpgs that try to do the "Deep Lore" stuff to always default to Gnosticism or H.P. Lovecraft in a trench coat?
>>97216545>Buddhism is Gnosticism, just for East Asia.That's quite a shallow understanding of Buddhism>>97216570I agree. Glorantha has quite an interesting take. Too bad Chaosium is running Runequest into the ground with their schizoid indecisiveness on where to take the game.
>>97216420Simulation theory was implied in both Star Ocean 1 and 2. The problem with 3 was that they tried to turn it into a mid-game twist and that made a mess of the game's story.
>>97214013>Plants are what is wrong with everything in the world. We must return to Photosynthesis.
Familiarity is important.
Gnosticism is just true!IAM!
Ever had to say fuck it this is above our paygrade, and just bail from a dungeon?I get that GM probably put some amount of effort into preparing it and skipping the place would put that to waste, but when the very first encounter makes it painfully obvious pushing on would be suicidal, nobody can really blame the party for doing literally anything else, right?

I literally don't remember half of these, no, because as someone who bought the Book of the Astronomican when it came out you've made most of them up.It was never directly stated that the Primarch's were clones. Heck, they were just Chapter Masters and when they got firmed up just before 2nd Ed they were always stated to be genetically engineered, so they weren't clones. Logically bits of their DNA were always taken from others.The Imperium were literally breeding with Eldar in the RT rulebook.Salamanders were just black guys (actually it was never explicitly painted and probably just a coincidence from the guide from the paint set but lets roll with that) and the ashen skin guys was itself an incredibly dumb retcon.The custodes were 100% nothing because there were only four lines of text about them until fucking 8th edition.LE2 had a beaked helmet, but literally the second marine model ever, LE10, didn't.The Emperor being dead was always fannon that had a few bits of in-world evidence but just as much that directly contradicted it.The Emperor's motivations were always shady, given he was literally nicked from Dune and that comes with it.

>>97222204>nice digitsWhy? I don't like the romantic part of the normal humans, but reading how the Legion fell was interesting and tragic, which I think was the point of the novel, a sad tragic story of the Legion that tried to achieve perfection and fell in degeneration in the process.

Two dozen small, fuzzy oortlings are herded against a rough-hewn wall, their large eyes wide with terror, kept in a tight, trembling pack. Dominating the scene is a single mind flayer, its illithid form imposing and cerebral, its tentacles idly coiling as it surveys its living larder with cold, psionic calculation. Flanking it are two immense, hairless mutant thralls: obese ogre-cyclops hybrids with sickly albino skin, a single brutish eye each, and crude clubs resting on their shoulders. Enforcing the perimeter are two bestial grimlock slaves, their eyeless faces sniffing the air, and two hulking, fur-covered quaggoth slaves, their claws and fangs bared, ensuring not a single oortling escapes its fate as future brain cattle. The atmosphere is thick with fear, dampness, and the promise of horrific consumption."

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.

>>97220447Cool blogpost bro
>>97220459Thanks :DD
>>97219339Part of the AD&D appeal is precisely the monk-like dedication to parse rules from obscure musings from half-forgotten paragraphs in the DMG. OSRIC 3 was always going to be a betrayal of sorts, but I believe it's a needed one in a moment where the original PHB and DMG are available as PoD and retroclones such as OSE or Dragonslayer are slowly but surely evolving into AD&D-lite.
Is OSE easier to DM/play as a newbie? I tried 5E and it seemed kinda autistic for my non-dork buddies.
How do you justify a "pest race" like goblins or rat people in your setting? Why wouldn't the dominant species make a concentrated effort to eradicate them if they were a problem?

>>97217366The more simple and succinct the message the further down it reaches in terms of both social class and IQ levels, it's also common on brand taglines and election slogans.
>>97217789>The idea of a gnoll working in forge with that fur next to burning fires, sounds like a safety hazard about to happenTrue, but at that point you'd need to question how safe it is for Dwarves too, considering they're generally depicted as both master smiths and having huge beards. Having metal rings and beads braided in those big beards probably wouldn't help either.
It's such an obvious idea. Where are they?
>>97212479>Eldar aren't post-scarcity anymore, actually.Technically they still are, especially the Commorites, but the Exodites actively reject it and Craftworlders practically don't have the means to reproduce their post-scarcity society, without resorting to the same shit Commorites do (which they don't want to do morally/ethically), due to the fact how post-Slaanesh the natural way to procreate for eldar is severely restricted due to the inherent dangers involved, and they are already an extremely slowly reproducing species to begin with, so they lack manpower to actually expand their craftworlds.
>>97211911even if the earth caste could make a suit of similar nature for their human subjects, most orthodox tau and especially ethereals would not trust them with it. you'd need an offshoot willing and able to take radical action like the farsight enclaves or the 4th sphere colonies to do that
>>97213037>so they lack manpower to actually expand their craftworldsthey have been physically expanding their craftworlds for the past 10 thousand years, it is population that has been generally decreasing
>>97212024im leaning more towards Vashtor or some old Man of Iron rather than Eldar but yeah especially now that they have an AI leading them
>>97211911I don’t want Tau to make their own legion or anything but it would be cool to see an Iron Hand get captured by Tau and go turncoat, it would be a fun plotpoint. I’d hope whoever writes it would give them a neat new armor set that isn’t just SM armor.

>>97221709I think so. Player 3 is foaming at the mouth for the chance to kill daemons and already delivered two IC rousing speeches. We got a "daemons could be here. With the warp, you can go anywhere you want" joke and we pretended we never started doing DW and were instead playing our other campaign.>>97221751They're all new players but one, a big fight against a greater daemon would've been too tough for their level, especially since no one would've had fun cause only the librarian is equipped to battle them effectively, and the main enemy are Nids.>did that test completely wrongThat's what I was going for, to be fair. Completely flip the expectations of how a normal test should go, hence offering players to pick a -20 penalty. The highest WP player failed his 90% chance to succeed, while the lower one passed his 18% twice, so the RNG was also tzeenchian. The reward for the room was a fate point, so they got that back as well, no "gotcha! you wasted resources on an illusion".
>>97221929Slaanesh does have his Noise Marines though, who are supposed to represent love for extreme stimuliTzeench has plenty of sorcerers serving him, which aren't relly a "unit" per se, but it would be hard to make one of them seeing how individualistic they tend to be. And rubric marines are associated with him, who are a resurt of sorcery
>>97221976I know that, but they don’t represent them well like how Khorne berserkers and plague marines represent Nurgle and Khorne. Like, which part of rubric marines scream Tzeentch? These automatons could well be Nurgle units considering how tough they are
>>97221946I get you, it IS fucky and memorable, especially for a one-shot where Corruption consequences don't matter barring some very specific rolls. But it also would make me very wary of the GM invalidating character choices in the middle of a campaign like that. Spending XP to be good at X thing just to be told anti-X happens because Chaos would be a frustrating experience.So personally, I'd need that "I wouldn't do that in a campaign" said out loud by you, if I were your player.
>>97221791They have natural children for the bragging rights and prestige. Ironically the nuclear family sans picket fence is the Commorrite Dream, the sign you made it, because you could both fuck another Comorrite, wait out the lenghty Eldar pregnancy, and raise that child without anyone involved getting murdered by each other, by rivals, or by an otherwise uninvolved conspiracy you just happened to get caught in.

>>97221841you have to be within 12" of the enemy units, retardo boy. That means on their turn they move 7" or more, then setup 1-6" closer, then charge 2d6-pick-highest.And that's being nice and assuming his tank is in front of his army next to his infantry. If it's screened Behind any other units, you won't even be able to EVER get within 12" of it with a predator, dumbfuck.
Anyone have the lore tid bit about EC delimbing their members to put inside Saturnine armor?
>>97221862Which is why you do the opposite of the normal tactic with Rhinos charging to soak Overwatch and have your rabid legionaries (you were escorting your tank with infantry rather than charging down a road Russian-style, right?) charge his infantry to tie them up while you get in to slag his tank
>>97221862And? That is after the melta predator had its shot at the big, expensive tank it was trying to blow up. At which it either succeeded and blew up a land raider costing twice its points, or failed deserving nothing but destruction for its lack of competence, Either way, losing the predator after is not an issue. Against anything that isn't a land raider a melta predator can stay safely at maximum range of its melta cannon and use sponson lascannons to shoot off the last remaining HP. I regularly field two magna melta predators, and they have been quite useful. Initially only did so because I didn't have enough units painted to play 3k points otherwise, but they proved themselves enough that they are now a standard inclusion in my list. Only one of them needs to be lucky once to earn back the points for both predators, and the threat of one-shotting a land raider is enough to make most opponents very reluctant to move their assault transports forward. >>97222117Rhinos can't charge, this isn't 40k you fucktard.
>>97222337And where did I mention using Rhinos beyond the comparison to the 40k tactic?Besides I'm agreeing with you anon

>>97222036Any effect that refers to attacking is specifically talking about attack declaration, if a card doesn't see the attack declaration it can't use "when x attacks" effects. Rosemon wouldn't be able to redirect the attack since the newly played one wouldn't have seen attack declaration.
