>>97281154Set is everything people say about the Tremere, but miles and leagues better, as Setite Sorcery is slept on but they literally are implied in House of Tremere (if you read between the lines) to've set them up to fail.Y'know, Kupala doing a lot of heavy lifting, too. If Set and Kupala are in cahoots, I wouldn't be surprised.But Set is implied to be a blood sorcerer that had thousands upon thousands of years of prep time.
>>97281520Ennoias voluptuous vampire bosom right in my face
>>97281618This is hard to place, since Hunson Abadeer is her father and he transforms into monsters like a Tzimisce but lives in, "the nightosphere," which could mean anything from the underworld like Augutus Giovanni, (, or Lasombra (the Abyss). As for Marceline's powers, she literally diablerized multiple vampires. One could fly, and that only has parallels with Gangrel's overland flight or gargoyle flight, or tremere Movement of the Mind levitation. Another could regenerate like mad, and that is only a thing with blood sorcery. Unless she's some sort of obscelely powerful Protean specialist where she can reknit flesh in seconds, even sunlight damage. But The Moon was definitely up ons that shit.The Old School vampire was definitely a nod to Dracula, and his thing was also shapeshifting, but conventionally. He couldn't even enter Jake when he turned himself into a house.And The Beast was all into animals. So, animalism was high. So the closest fascimille to Marceline would be some thin-blood bitch that diablerized her way down to 5th or 4th generation, like the bastard that devoured Mithras. With Gargoyle Flight, high Protean, probably vicissitude because of the non-terrestrial transformations, invisibility, and also animalism powers she doesn't really use.
>>97281661>Thinblood diablerist struggling with the voices in his or her headThat'd be a cool antagonist or encounter.
>>97281623The tremere have the benefit of being the luckiest bastards to have ever existed. They managed to wedge themselves between a number of factions that hate each other and are being puppeted by a number of immortal god-like being that have completely opposed goals to each other. The net effect is that the tremere get away with almost whatever they want, despite multiple canon events showing many chantries are exclusively populated by autistic retards too focused on magic to realize anyone infiltrated their fucking haven(for now anyway, all the end times scenarios show that the tremere house of cards explodes spectacularly in the end).One of these lucky breaks is the fact Kupala and Set are definitely Not working together, if anything they're overwhelmingly likely to be (im)mortal enemies. Even thematically, Kupala is The Dragon and Set is the Dragonslayer in their respective self-created mythologies.

If you told me a few years ago that I'd be primarily using fucking Army Painter warpaints I would've called you a retard. Genuinely what a gargantuan upgrade from the old crap, can't recommend it enough
>>97277514thinner
>>97277739
>>97277498It is amazing how ArmyPainter improved.For the longest time it was known mostly for it's good washes.
I used Army Painter for who knows how many years now and they were always hit and miss (I liked their whites and blacks more than GW's for example) except the washes which I still use and which are good as another anon said. Maybe they're better now or maybe it's all your run-of-the-mill viral marketing, I'm not gonna buy more either way because I found our lord and savior Vallejo.
>>97277498While their new paints are a massive upgrade, they are still very cheaply made. Low pigments + opacifiers means a lot of colors can't be thinned properly and mix oddly. Good starter paints, especially compared to GW, but crushed by AK, Pro Acryl and Vallejo in quality. Their price should be lower. In the end though, finding the best paints for (you) from every brand is the best as no paint company does everything perfectly (yet).

This is a second OSRG, seperate from the main osrg thread, where you CAN talk about 2e, retroclones, and any osr content you want.This is different than the regular osrg as due to rampant trolling from a handful of bad actors, discussion is impossible.>Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128>Starter Dungeonshttps://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/86342023/#q86358321PREVIOUS THREAD>>97226728
>>97280335How have you not learned to not reply to the troll yet.
>>97278396why don't you instead stop calling a thread that is only about a specific subset of OSR games the "OSRG"?
>>97281269
>>97281269It's a thread about ALL OSR games, hence the name "OSR General". The fact that you're bitter that your fave isn't old-school doesn't change that in any way.
>>97280846No young fren, I was there when osr was nascent. I had no real need for it. I had my old rule books so didn't need the reprints. Only reluctantly played 3e, even then our DMing and playing was old style in tone even with all those silly feats. Not sure why my friends adopted 3e rules, maybe cult of the new.I was here when people made the first osr generals. Outside of some trollish 4channers, and apparently outside of your blogger's head as he's wrongly conflating things, osr still means what it meant.Your opinionated little blogger hero doesn't get to redefine "osr" to suit his means. He's engaging in revisionism and I reject his attempt. Even if 2e was not, as in his opinion it isn't, "old school" it was and is part of osr and has been for 21 years or more.While it's nice to read him admit Cook wrote frames for modules, though unfortunately mistakenly trying to equate this with railroading, and that>such a thing isn't really different from several treasured modules released earlierhe has the rather poor and wrong opinion that>module tells you to place an encounter at a certain point in timeis bad. There's no real difference between a dm deciding to reschedule, omit or add an encounter all on his own, whether for a module or own adventure, and a dm deciding to do that based on advice from a module. It's called being clever, wise, adaptable.In a footnote he adds>I'm not arguing that the old-school method is the one true way to play D&D, though it's the one I prefer.but the trouble is he's talking about "the old school" when there wasn't a universal and monolithic "the old school" and old school isn't synonymous with old school renaissance.>>97281268Mine wasn't the first reply so you're being a bit choosy.Comment too long.

>>97251495The classics were miserable then and are miserable now. It doesn't accurately reflect 90% of the fantasy genre or create a good gaming experience.People enjoyed it back then similar to how people 15000 years ago felt warm in their shallow cave at night - it's better than not having any option. Compared to a warm modern house, or a correctly designed game, that experience was always terrible, people just gaslighted themselves.
>>97253976Concession accepted.

Sharing useful wisdom that has helped me run more satisfying games. Trying to share some less common advice. These are my opinions and techniques that have helped me. I’d love to hear what has worked for other /tg/ DMs.1. Time pressure- adding time pressure through use of "clocks" including real life clocks is incredibly helpful to add pressure and tension to a scenario. Giving players choices but not enough time to make every choice adds meaning to those choices. Time pressure in combat is a contentious, but powerful tool to discuss with your players. Forcing a decision in seconds makes combat stressful and - when players are on board- fun (in anticipation of the common objection: if the players don’t make a choice in combat, I usually come back to them before round end, I never have them “just stand there”. Remember to assume character competency).2- The GM-ing engine- It's okay to front load content and prepare a few different rail-roady hooks in the first few sessions. Being a GM is like starting one of those old prop engines with a winch. It takes a while for the pistons (players) to kick into gear. Once they do, after a few sessions, all you need to do is apply gas. Solve the tavern problem by figuring out how characters know each other prior to the first session. 3- Immersion means impact- After a session, reflect on how the player choices affected the world (for good or ill), try to let the ripple of that effect emerge in the next session. Players that feel like they change the world around them invest in it.
>>97279010Ope! "Do not be afraid to say bluntly, "It looks like this approach isn't going to work, it occurs to you that you'll need to find another way to (achieve goal)"
>>97278784>Time pressure- adding time pressure through use of "clocks" including real life clocks is incredibly helpful to add pressure and tension to a scenario.I disagree entirely. I've had two separate campaigns ruined because the players decided a several-month long timer was too brief for them to do something and, despite being grossly underleveled for it, insisted on approaching the encounter. I pushed them off, redirected them to a side-task but they kept at it, almost every session.
>>97280690This is a fair criticism. What about letting the players fail?
>>97278801>>97278798>>97278789>>97278784>OP thinks people play games here
>>97280690If I may: the technique is very useful to add tension/pressure. Your anxiety-ridden players do not need any additional tension/pressure.
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. And as we enter this happiest and newest of years, remember: 2e was never an old-school game, bait is for reporting, and fish is for smoking! Happy new year, grogs! 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?

>>97278240Dragonbane isn't an OSR game, it's an RQ clone. Post about it there.>>97279989IMO the ideal for treasure maps isn't a dungeon but a simpler lair located somewhere in the wilderness. That said, if you don't mind weird technofantasy you could try Lone Colossus of the Akolouthos Sink by Gus L., I seem to recall that being in that range.>>97280365>>97280662Nice! Good work Anon.
>>97280830Oh lmao, the Dragonbane post got deleted already, that's what I get for leaving the thread to auto-update
>>97280032Could be something worth using there. I'll take a look.>>97280209I think I have Halls of the Blood King floating around somewhere. Worth considering. Thanks.>>97280830Yeah my initial idea was to generate a small lair and give some landmark designators to point them in the right direction when they search for it. (5 miles East of Obelisk, just beyond the lake. Place Obelisk and lake hexes accordingly on hexmap etc.) but I also thought this may be a good way to break up the process of delving such a huge dungeon as Stonehell.I was considering using The Hyqueous Vaults as it's been recommended by Prince and others. I could also have one of the macguffin rods from the module be bundled up in the map as my player hasn't actually examine it yet (fortunately for me). It's maybe a bit longer than I was looking for, at about 60 rooms, but it's only one floor and has "vault" in the title, so the allure of treasure would be strong.>Reposting the magic item I came up with the other day as I think the sloppa image I generated for it turned out decent.
>>97280181There is a supplement called Dungeon Grappling, you could maybe look into that.Although though it purports to be compatible with S&W, it seems to me that it's mainly written with modern editions in mind, but could be what you're looking for.
>>97280181TL;DR: No. The DMG has unarmed combat rules that are way more extensive than they ought to be, but they're not as detailed as what you seem to want.

>>97278676Just started with dark oath, some axe throwers or a Beastmaster unit like the spawn of Chotek would be cool I guess.
Anyone play it yet? I like the "rustic fantasy" setting. The core rules seem interesting, it has more mechanics and gameplay than most other narrative games. I enjoy that it doesn't have moves or whatever to confine you, you can actually play your character and do whatever you want. It's got enough knobs and options in terms of resolution I feel like it's actually a real game despite having that more story focus vs simulation focus. And I like that the DM has all the traditional power of the DM and there's not like "Fate Points" or something else that gives players control to change stuff.Thinking I might try a short game for my table, just a few lower powered sessions. It also has good tools for a solo stuff which is interesting.
