If it gives unnatural power to an individual to enact their will, it is an evil sorcerer. If it dominates or replaces individual will or is simply a weapon of terrible power, it is a dark king. If it corrupts a willing populace or secretive group, it is a cult leader. If it simply is and it's very nature causes harm to things around it, then it is a great beast.

Happy Easter Sunday everyone on /tg/! To celebrate, how do the people in your settings celebrate the changing of the seasons, especially winter to spring? And what mystical significance do said holidays or even the seasons themselves hold? Does the goddess of spring get summoned by the rites, does the magic of the seasons affect how spells are cast, do special beasts show up to herald the seasons, etc.? In my world, every spring temples are deep cleaned and sermons are conducted outside, a whole little festival taking place, especially with the larger temples, the gods often stopping by incognito.

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:

>Would you share a couple words on why you think Khosura is better than Castle Xyntillan?
I guess the main reason is that I like S&S better than the whimsical-medieval tone of Xyntillan. I started to list reasons but realized they were all ultimately the same one. I do think that there are some things Khosura does better, such as the proportion of empty rooms, but if I say something like "Castle Xyntillan is a bit too much of a monster zoo for my tastes" it comes off as deranged, because it's not actually a problem that Xyntillan has, both are excellent examples of module design and the map of Xyntillan is basically unbeaten as a plausible castle (compare e.g. Castle Amber with its absolutely dogshit map). It's only in comparison with something of the caliber of Khosura that you can even notice the issue, which at that point is a matter of taste.

So yeah, I fundamentally prefer it because I like sword & sorcery/Fomalhaut better. Both are great modules however, well worth the money.

>Is he the same guy who shits up any attempt to make a thread that allows 2e?
That is correct. The existence of a functional 2e thread threatens his ability to wreck this one (already extremely weak). A few /2eg threads back he was openly trying to recruit posters there into his personal army to raid this thread instead because he wants to force 2e in here where it's never belonged. Being normal, they told him to fuck off.

>mimimi, humans don't have their own feature, mimimi, we have to invent something
Necromancy right here. When was the last time you saw non-human necromancer, lich or vampire? That's right, they practically don't exist because other races are simply inferior when it comes to necromancy and those non-human undead are so pathetic that everyone forgets about their existence in 5 minutes . Except for that one orc, but even he understood that he was worthless and therefore got himself a human body to finally become a full-fledged lich. So yes, here is your feature humans - necromancy, you know that I am right, you can't run away from the truth forever.

Warhammer fantasy has the best take on necromancy as a "Human thing" because only human beings have the right combination of short lifespan, and relative magical aptitude, to make it seem like a good use of your time.
Elves look at necromancy and go "I'm good": they don't wanna get a permanent case of shit-face from freebasing congealed Dhar scraped off the floor of an Altdorf toilet stall.

The main thing that you're probably overlooking is that there are some features where the number of uses is determined by the mod of a given stat. A Bard is gonna end up capped at 1 or 2 uses of Bardic Inspiration for most of the game, for an easy example.
At a certain point you should either commit to the bit or come up with a more suitable rolling method that doesn't require warping all the math of the game around it.

yes, obviously, left looks better than right, no one is going to disagree with that. but when playing a GAME, right is obviously going to be a funner experience for BOTH sides, just look at the utter lack of balance in the left terrain set up. the near side has to traverse a river and then fight through open fields while the far side immediately gets access to most the hard cover of buildings on the map and on top of that gets the hedgerows overlooking the open fields. its blatantly not fair and poorly set up.

>but just give the attack side more units!
ok then, how do you balance that? how do you know how many points to allocate to balance out the terrain advantage? double? triple? what if thats too much and now the attacker has the distinct advantage? its way too much trouble to figure out. thats why tourney tables will always provide the better gameplay experience for BOTH sides. GAMEplay. WarGAMES. These are GAMES. A good game needs to be fun for all involved. It is not fun when one side has an inherent advantage over the other. There is a reason why 40k tournaments are by and far the most popular wargaming events and playstyle over every single alternative."

Think of it this way. Look at Battletech players. They arguably play on the ugliest paper hex mats and hex counter terrain in wargaming, despite the fact that playing BT with physical and 3d terrain has existed for decades. They CHOOSE the uglier terrain because readability and clear rules for LOS matter to gameplay, aesthetics do not.

I've never concealed that that is a post I have saved to repost when I want, because it's a strong argument and no one has ever been able to logically disprove it, and I will continue to repost it as long as /tg/ continues to throw hissy fits over tournament terrain. Funny how you bitch about me reposting my argument, but I don't see you bitching about the constant spammed hatred against tournament play

40k and wargaming has zero overlap at this point.
You can complain about it poisoning your well of rich and thriving wargame community, but be aware that while there may have been a shared consumer base in the past, that just isn't the case anymore.

Hey /tg/ I have a problem. One of my players is a genuine incel. He's 27 and I'm pretty sure he's never had sex. He definitely hasn't gotten laid in a while. He's not really ugly just kinda weird and awkward. I feel bad for him. But he is taking his extreme thirst out in the game.
>every time his character, a human eldritch knight, comes back from our adventures he always tries to play up the angle of "we saved the town, where are the girls to suck my dick as thanks?"
>he constantly talks about how his character is 6 foot 2 (he's 5 foot 8 irl)
>he talks out of his ass a lot about medieval times and says that peasant girls were way healthier than modern women.
>says how farmers would be begging to marry their lithe 17 year old daughters to him
>he talks about medieval demographics and criticizes the DMa works building (which is actually kinda shit to be fair) >you can just tell how excited he is talking about how there should be a dozen villages between these two cities on the map, like he is stopping just short of talking about how many nubile virgin farm girls are there for his fighter to fuck
We tried talking to him about it but he twisted it around to make the rest of us sound like we were fucking gay or something. Also his character is too important to the story to kick him, and running him as an NPC would suck the fun out of it since there's be a lot of the DM just roleplaying with himself while the rest of us watch.
So....any advice? Its not worth ruining the game over by kicking him, and nothing is so blatant to be a clear social violation, but the dude is just oozing incel energy and I feel like I should subtly suggest to the DM something that will set his head on straight, and possibly help cure his mindset. Any ideas?
