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?

>>97398401Yeah that's the direction I'm trending. More of a typical S&S explanation.
>>97398060Reading this module and it seems great so far - in fact I’m wondering if a description of a hypothetical downed ship in the 3.5 Dungeon Master’s Guide draws on this.For anyone that has run Expedition to the Barrier Peaks 1) How easily is it adapted for B/X and 2) I feel like showing the illustrations when instructed kind of gives the game away very quickly. Does anybody have any ideas?
>>97397995The game Worlds Without Number was supposedly inspired in part by BotNS, but that's a system and not a setting or module. Fomalhaut is a setting with science-fantasy aspects, but it's very dissimilar from either Vance or Wolfe, and is more like a cynical orientalist pulp setting – Harryhausen's Sinbad movies and Lamb's Khlit the Cossack stories come close, I think.Anomalous Subsurface Environment is a never-completed megadungeon set in a postapocalyptic sci-fantasy wasteland, but again it's less Wolfe and more Gamma World; Mad Max meets Mad Magazine.These are the closest things I can think of offhand, but to be honest, I think you'll struggle to find anything that replicates Wolfe's baroque strangeness.
>>97398493>I feel like showing the illustrations when instructed kind of gives the game away very quickly.Yes and no. If you read the descriptions and look at the illustrations of the various items, you'll probably notice that they're deliberately created to trick people into misidentifying them on the basis of their familiarity with Star Trek and such, so they take the devices' functions for granted and zap themselves in the face with lasers. The illustrations showing the players that they're clearly onboard a flying saucer are part of the setup for these other illustrations with which to mislead them.
>>97398065if you are the anon and not samefagging, do NOT read the "n00b guide"The document as a whole pushes a skewed, innacurate view of the OSR, was written by someone who's clearly biased towards AD&D/OSRIC to an unhealthy degree, and is also a hitpiece on anything not outside of the authors narrow one true wayism.

hey. i got fucked over in an trade via the german version of craigs list (technically speaking) and i need some replacements for imperial knight armour panels. As long as they dont look like chaos knight stuff, do you guys know some decent looking stuff to print out? i was looking on the usual sites but it seems like most of the armor is for a Proxy model, not the actual knight from gwendolyn.

>>97370425Instead of psionics, use the Psychic Adept from Green Ronin's Psychic Handbook Way more interesting and flavorful than either of WoTCs psionic attempts
>>97389281Such a sense is borne of fear, or the worry you can't handle a given situation.Treat every situation as one that is well in hand, rather than one that requires careful approaching.Think of a school test whose material you have well studied for; you do not approach it with trepidation, only confident resolve that you can and will succeed. Strike first, strike hard, the battle is already won.
im doing homebrew shit but does this sound too strict(i already have a rune system)i wasnt going to start a new thread over this
>>973986871) Charge your phone2) Type up your actual questions and put them into context. Is what too strict? Relative to what other options? Do the players even care about the subsystem you're modifying? etc.
>>97398687By what I can glean from the image, your "rune system" seems to be a whole-ass conlang with astrological influences, which is not going to be sensible to run in tabletop because it's combining exact in-universe time-keeping with detailed semantic analysis. Apply more layers of abstraction to be working with clearly-defined mechanical elements instead of naked linguistics.

>>97397665Not sure the analogy is right but I'd say the Raptor for the IS. Not the best protected thing in the world but extremely well armed for something its weight and being an Omni can bring its own BA support without slowing down. Arctic Fox I'd say also falls into this category but I am not too fond with a lot of the configs.Clans you've got a choice of the Kit Fox, Adder or Cougar depending what config you go for. They ain't the fastest designs but they can pack a punch.
>>97398380I am going to be a pedantic faggot. He said the M3 which is the Cavalry Fighting vehicle. It only has 2 scout dismounts. Its not really a transport. Aside from being short ranged your suggestions seem pretty on brand for an M2.
>>97398294I'm guessing that anon is referring to the completely unexpected performance that the Bradley had during Desert Storm. Absolutely no one from either side anticipated it to be capable of engaging and absolutely annihilating entire battlegroups of tanks. The Russians, former USSR satellite states and everyone else who was buying their equipment shit themselves reading over those reports. They had expected it to perform something near the BMP and finding out they could actively seek out and engage armored formations was every bit as shocking as the performance of low weight Clan mechs was to the Inner Sphere.
>>97395544>Industrial.Got any recommendations?>>97395627Hell yeah.
>>97396927Well Dracs, Birds, and Cappies were trading with each other. It would track.
Rule 1: In order to become canonical each post has to pick up something that has already been established by someone else and build on it. Only in this way can something new be added.Rule 2: Keep it within reason and don't break the immersion for everyone else. Rule 3: Have fun.Starting with a rough premise to set the tone:>Players are bug-headed-investigators collecting evidence of a vast, hidden control system that governs reality. >Detective work involves getting high on insecticide, cut-up-techniques and orgon accumulation. >The "Mugwumps," the "Reptiles," and the "Grey Officers" all represent control entities that feed on energy. >Don't trust 'em. >They are bureaucrats of a gnostic, alien order.>Be aware of the insect archons! >They are parasitic deities that can manifest as viruses (biological and linguistic), addictive substances or bureaucratic control. >Create a detective and expose the hidden patterns of the manipulators!
>>97396964Sounds like something a disguised alien would say.
>>97396934The disguise has gotten so convincing that many fell for their own trick. They have forgotten who they really are. This is intentional.The insecticide quiets the human fiction and reveals the hidden reality behind this veil of deception. Including our true clicking forms.
>>97397832The 'many' being everyone.The alien overlords have already won, but refuse to admit their true existence, even to themselves. The reasons are various.Some fear competing aliensSome have forgottenSome believe the charade is meaningful in itselfSome fell in love with humanity and no longer want to return to their original selves.
>>97397832The end goal of all this self-deception is to trick reality into making you a human.Naturally, this is a pretty esoteric goal and hard to accomplish wittingly.Game mechanics involve subliminally programming yourself so you can do manchurian candidate shit without breaking your own self-delusion.

>>97397959Sure it's not the worst new players but I would like to get sensible progress over a 3-4 hour session.
>>97397839if possible I'd keep trying to introduce them to established DnD settings (or Pathfinder settings) since that game seems to be one they're the most familiar with. Trying to drag them kicking and screaming into a whole new set of books and a heavily immersive world of lore might be difficult. You could also look at games like the Warhammer 40k RPGs by Fantasy Flight Games, or Wrath and Glory, since those are specifically designed around an established setting that they have to learn and understand or else their characters will be swiftly deleted by the Imperial authorities.
>>97398305Good advice, yeah I'll consider it. I just like WoD more than Warhammer and DnD but maybe I should keep it in mind.
>>97398343Eventually, if they show a positive progression of appreciation for worldbuilding and deep lore, introducing them back to WoD should be much more successful.

Oh they also say >The capital of Halta boasts a population of almost two millionMake up your damn minds 1E writers, there's a big difference between over 1 million and almost 2 million
>one of the Sidereals that destroyed Fallen Lapis was killed with a single arrow by the Bull of the NorthThey sent the jobber Sidereals I suppose
For completeness sake, here is the 3e write up on how the Haltans grow food:>Haltans collect rainwater in barrels and cisterns. In times of drought, water can be hauled up from the rivers, but such work is hard and risks encounters with the fae.>The Haltan diet relies heavily on fruits, berries, and nuts such as hazelnuts, grapes, and rose hips, as well as tender leaves, shoots, and inner bark when in season. Farmers tend to treetop gardens, transporting soil from the surface over the years and replenishing it with composted material. There they grow herbs, vegetables, and flowers for the beekeepers’ hives to pollinate. Mushrooms, harvested from caves in hollows beneath the trees, feature in many dishes.>Animal products, though a luxury, form a significant part of the Haltan diet. Households cage-raise small birds, rabbits, rodents, and lizards for meat, eggs, fur, feathers, and the like. Hunters train hawks to catch small game like squirrels and hares on the ground, or to pluck smaller birds from the air and fish from the river. Trappers drop snares from low branches to capture larger animals and work together to haul them up into the trees.
>>97398287Huh, a real downgrade from 1E's description, I don't remember what 2E had
>>97398224>They sent the jobber Sidereals I supposeYou think that Sidereal was jobbing? The other Sidereal that was involved got executed. Dying to bureaucracy when you have Arcane Fate and any number of opportunities to just walk away into temporary exile takes some doing.
