A foul robbery was reversed.
We need to stop letting short women in tall hats steal our electronics. It's unacceptable on the grounds that it may teach the little tall-hat evils in the woods to be bolder in their attempts to harrass us, if they ever break the current peace. I do not like them and I do not want them to be bolder.

The entity in question has enough clairvoyance to get past at least some wards. She also has the credentials to not be hit by the wards in the first place. And she usually steals the electronics from us by simply snatching them from our hands, if the hands belong to a Lavender. If they belong to a me, she steals them by doing little grabby hands and explaining that she forgot her phone in her study, but she direly needs to message somebody on here, and walking all the way back to her room would be immensely detrimental to her psychic war effort.

Was there even any point in time it was in style?
from what I've read Blackmoor players were having so much fun with the dungeon they were constantly ignoring the wargaming aspect of the campaign, and in od&d campaigns run by Gygax building a stronghold was pretty much retiring the character and starting with a new one
Which makes perfect sense, would rpg players want to play a wargame/ board game they would be playing a wargame/boardgame

Previous thread: >>97680129

GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.
Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.

A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by using the image. Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.

If you're wondering where to start:
- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.
- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.
- How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.
- GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.

TQ: what's your least favorite disadvantage for a player to take?

>so you're saying that wielding my greatsword in inverted grip is not very practical?
Actually, a greatsword is one of the few swords which should work OK in an inverted grip, but that's more like what GURPS calls a defensive grip, essentially using a sword as a spear.
>>
>>97841012
A defensive grip isn't a reverse grip, they're different. You're not holding a greatsword with one hand and the blade pointing down along your forearm

Why did SJG release a bunch of Conan choose your own adventure for Gurps on Demand instead of some relevant books that already existed as proper PDFs, like Age of Napoleon or Vehicles?

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:

Something I haven't tried yet, but I might next time I do a session is do an XP system that is somewhere between the boring but easy 1 xp per session and the interesting, but annoying, gold for xp. Im thinking instead to do something like giving xp for each major thing done, and it can be 1,2,or 3 depending on magnitude. maybe each level is 3 or 4 xp. You might do 2 minor things (Like find a stash of 40 silver and beat a group of bandits) for 2 xp, something major like defeating a named villian for 3xp, or very little, like just buying some shit and having conversations for 1 xp.

That way I don't have to bean count every gold, but I can still have a variable amount of progress to the next level.
I wonder if any system does something like this natty? Seems like a happy medium.

How important is artwork and visual aesthetics to a tabletop game?
22 replies and 4 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>97831585
Good art and elaborate aesthetics can draw me in and keep me interested, as can simple art (i.e. like Blades in the Dark) and sometimes even just no art at all if the premise is good enough on its own.

But I have been actively repelled by bad art.
>>
>>97831585
Very, because most RPG books are bought for the coffee table or for skimming and daydreaming, not as play aids.
>>
>>97831585
I've seen games that work in spite of minimal or no art(indeed one of them, Whitehack is one of my favorites) but generally I'd say art is pretty important for selling what the game and/or setting is going to be about
>>
>>97844930
To be fair i find them most useful for the initial phase of preparation, skimming through one to brainstorm ideas.
>>
>>97831585
artwork on the manuals and box help me imagine how battles would look like on either table top rpg or war games.

If the art looks retarded to my eyes, it's wasted money on my part.
