>>97710573people already barely play tinybones outside of bracket 4 anyways
>>97710636I was thinking of reanimator. fits well with the "fast mana is high bracket" sentiment as mana cheating is basically thatmaybe even bundle it up with free spells like cascade
>>97710550I refuse. I like Kyler and I want to run Kyler.
>>97710652>Protection from monocoloredFuck off with this.
>>97710573I already know this was prompted by him playing discard in B2 then wondering why someone left after Kefka left them empty.
You awake after being transported through the fantasy magic of thread prompt to a brainjack that connects your collective /k/ heads to an alien swarm. The swarms had sent down an invading army of runny and bitey monstersthat ran at a chokepoints and got blown up at a thousand to one rates. This Hivemind that created the swam has decided to consult YOU /k/ on the creation of a better version of it's alien gribbly horde. What 'kinds' of monsters are useful basically? Your limitations are only that you should try to err on the side of sticking to what is physically possible to have exist irl or at least not literally have out and out superpowers baked into the design. Just as a point of reference you should err on the side of the Arachnids from the above imaged gif as being about the most exotic and fantastical of biology-as tech that you're going to be able to get away with.>You can spitball up up better a better fighting doctrine for your tryhard version of a space swarm then pic related right?
If every bug is linked to the hive mind, tiny earth insect sized spy bugs would be unstoppable. It would be so easy to get eyes and ears just about everywhere, and they'd all be disposable.Also loved the bugs tactics from the Starship Troopers and Armor books. Have a massive swarm seeded on a planet and waiting under a battlefield. Maybe about a fifth of the swarm are actually warriors. If workers and warriors look exactly the same, the workers can be both a meat should and distraction for humans while the actual warriors sneak through the swarm to deal a killing blow or get a shot off from an unseen angle.The chaos caused by a swarm of hundreds of thousands of bugs erupting from the ground direct beneath the feet of any human platoon would be pretty good too.
Focus on long range indirect fire, flyers swarms and burrowers, also the bugs being on the smaller side but still dangerous (think small-medium dog sized fast bugs with toxin darts and claws and hard bullet proof frontal chitin plates)Alternatively, just make tear-jerker movies for women about humans bad and bugs good and how bugs are necessary to pay the pensions of their aging population and then watch the humans collectively commit sudoku by bug.
>/k/
>>97705851They have a hive mind, so they fight with near perfect coordination, so their warrior bugs don't need powerful weapons since they use them with extremely coordinated tactics. This means arming their troops takes minimal resources, so they can focus their efforts on other areas to a greater degree, such as fortifications, weapons development, building more artillery-scale weapons, and making more ships.
Sexy bug girls.>But how will that-You awoken me for my expert opinion, it's up to you whether you want to follow it or not.
Legitimate question: Do the few male Howling Banshees there are get a flat chest armour plate or do they just get the standard breasted plate and wear it though it's hollow? I think the latter would be cool to keep the outward image of a bunch of vicious female super soldiers killing people. Because if a dude joins them to begin with it's because he exhibits the finesse and precision they want, so the guy would already be acting kinda feminine, no?I don't know where I could look into to get an official answer to this inquiry

this is the latest terrain project I've finished. Turned out to be impossible to reach the ships in the center of the board during play however, so we had to remove a couple of tables
what do you use to flock large areas in such a way that it looks good and remains sturdy?I've used static grass with a static grass applicator for a 6x4 table once. Looks really nice, but I wonder how well it actually holds up, it was also a mess to do

>>97709071This is why we tell everyone about the completely free simulators before anything else. We all respect yout time and money more than you might think.TRYBEFOREYOUBUYEven very experienced players and people into the game do this to test archetypes/decks to make sure they are satisfied before they spend anything.>maybe I can recoup some of itNot sure what you have but sell it immediately if it's something printed within the last year. Take whatever loss you have on the chin and realize your mistake.If it's structure decks then don't bother unless you want to list it at like 50%. Everyone can already buy them new for at or maybe 80% of MSRP rather than your opened product.
>>97709661Hot
Now that I think about it, Branded is pretty cheap for what it is in the meta, I already have one of the most expensive card in it. Should I just build that? Hoping I can get another Fallen of White but it won't really kill me if I spend $100ish to get another one + $50 more for the rest of the expensive ones. Are there any other cheap engines to blend with Branded? Not too sure if Dracotail Branded is still in the meta.

>>97708897Low imagination largely. That being said, there could be other factors like a lack of mission variety or aids for making campaigns that while don't make such activity impossible, don't act to encourage more gameplay. Historicals have all the historical conflicts to draw on for material, and while scifi and fantasy gaming can also draw on those conflicts as inspiration, and should, it seems like this approach is becoming less common over time. Other option is bad design that has fairly specific units being the best choice in all cases enough that it cuts down on game variation.
>>97709039IMO if the game sucks you still get a bunch of small scale scifi dudes to use for any mini agnostic scifi game you'd wanna play
>>97709074When they did the reveal video the models they showed looked amazing and generic enough for anything as you say. It looks like a real time strategy game in real life with so many unit types at that scale.
>>97706599I would say chibi tanks fit Orcs.
Is there a reason people are opposed to using AI to look up rules and traits and things? It's so much quicker and more useful than grabbing the books, checking the index, and so on. Three times now people have scoffed at using AI and left my scratching my head.
>>97710487Or, OR, you could just ctrl+F a rules PDF you goddamn nincompoop.
If you're gonna want to cross-reference the book to make sure the AI isn't hallucinating I don't know why you wouldn't just go straight to the book in the first place. It sounds genuinely pathetic to be attached to big autocomplete to this degree.
>AIfag begging thread
>>97709457Besides AI making up rules, AI misinterpreting rules, AI giving you rules from wrong game ,AI not understanding difference between written rule and one it just made up and you showing disinterest and disrespect towards the game by not bothering to even learn the rules yourself? No, not really.
>>97709457Because it always get things wrong, you fucking mongoloid. LLM's spout nonsense and hallucinate important aspects all the fucking time, and you have to double-check and verify everything anyway, so why the fuck would you use LLM's if you know what you're looking for anyway?
Thread title. In brief, I had a player who said that he couldn't continue playing unless I could confirm that his PC wouldn't be killed.I told him "That's up to you, if you get unlucky your PC could indeed die" and he insisted that his PC's death would sort of ruin the plan he had for him. I said "Yes, that's what
>>97707478>Learn how to fucking sentence
>>97706546OP's not talking about planning his death, OP is saying "If you get into a fistfight with a dragon you're breakfast."
>>97706332Say you won't let his character die and then let his character dieHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>97710072That too, just tell them that you intend to kill them with a dragon
Seems like player and GM talking about their expectations of the eventually upcoming game is reasonable. Getting pissed about it on /tg/ seems childish. And in general I have to agree with >>97707584 for the most part. Death doesn't have to be the only outcome of a failed combat encounter. Especially if you play something other than fast and loose dungeon delve tactics where a new character is made in a few minutes. If you set up your group for a grand adventure and campaign where their backstories and characters matter by going from zero to hero, then it is absolutely a legit stance to keep character death to a minimum or even off the table. Conan got captured like a retard in his movie. As a GM you could of course have random mooks slit his throat in a dogpile. Or you could have the evil wizard give him an evil speach, embarrass and wound him further, then cast him out like the defeated dog he is. Movies do it all the time and there is no reason why a GM can't do the same since he has all the power in his hand. Does this mean you should let PCs off the hook when players insist on retarded shit like: "My fresh character makes a dive down the 50 feet steep cliff on rocky terrain!" expecting to stay alive? No. Of course not. I have to assume you play with actually people and not walking strawman arguments. Should this situation still occour you can always say: "No. That would kill your character, which you stated, you don't want to happen. Try something else." It's really that easy.
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/9fzM6128Comment too long.

>>97710434>Otherwise, actively try to kill your playersThat's plebbit-tier levels of retardation, showing that you don't understand anything about the OSR nor about DMing.I won't explain the OSR part because you're clearly too retarded and should just fuck off back to wherever you came from, you have nothing to contribute here except to make this place more stupid.About killing the PCs, to do that the DM need only say>a meteor strikes you, you're all dead, or if you want extra steps>you meet a hundred flying Tarrasques surrounded by an anti-magic field that negates all spells and magic items, roll initiative.It's not hard to do, and it has nothing to do with the OSR.Off you fuck.
>>97710430I have a metricised retroclone (or so) of Chainmail called "Scalemail" that I posted here a couple years back --which evolved eventually into the thing called Battle aXe. (another wargame for B/X) But I didnt know any other clones, otherwise I would have chosen another name.It's bound to be broken at some places as the scope is much larger compared to Battle aXe, anon. I released it after realising that I wont be single-handedly able to playtest all probabilities. But it should be okay, in general. I hope it will be of use to someone someway.
>>97710264>>97710430>>97710490In case anybody is interested, I've uploaded the afore-mentioned "metricised clone of Chainmail" called Scalemail from 2015ish here:https://www.sendspace.com/file/oe8in1This one is really faithful to the base/mass combat rules of Chainmail, but it doesn't have the man-to-man, fantasy combat rules, or fantasy units. Since those didn't need to be metricised, I guess the guy who did this didn't feel it was necessary to include them.Not sure who the author is, or where I got it from originally.
>>97710522That's the thing I made, anon. I'm the same guy It eventually evolved into this:https://hexhunt.itch.io/battleaxeIt was my initial attempt to extract the "essence" out of Chainmail to make it more beginner friendly, an an effort to understand the system better.

I need some ideas for how to make an air themed character quirky
>>97710223Paranoid about going underground. Hates dungeons, enters them reluctantly and with persistent disagreement.
>>97707745>crazy jumps and flips and climb all over each other with amazing core strengthSo they're making Strength (Acrobatics) checks?
>>97710195It's condition-on-hit, which is RAW and part of the current monster meta, except you let PCs who invest that avoid it.(It's also how the potency mechanic in Draw Steel works.)
Do you have any unique ways of introducing new characters to the part after a PC death?I mean if they're in a populated city or something it's usually easy enough, but what if they're in the middle of nowhere? Or recently I had my party be in small remote village where part of the plot was that nobody was allowed to enter or leave until they solve a task. And one character almost died and I'm glad he didn't, because I was very worried how I'd be able to get a new one in there.
Dames, female fighters, whatever you want to call them.We gonna roll up a Lady Knight, of some sorts. Give me a d10 for>1. What reasons or circumstances made her pick up arms and armor as a knight girl? (d10)

She probably became a mercenary, because she is infertile, so useless. Making money by day with an axe, and with her legs open at night. She saved some noble and became a knight, now following a goddes of ferility and is on a pilgrimage. Distracting her enemies with insults, flirting and no underwear, she strikes fear into unfaithful men.

>>97709827I'm a big fan of using the Dual-Weapon Warrior archetype on bombers. It grants you access to Double Slice (which allows you to make two Strikes with two melee weapons held in different hands, both at your full attack bonus), then Dual-Weapon Thrower, which lets you do the same thing with two thrown weapons. This relies on the Double Brew class feature that alchemists get at level 9, so it's something you'd build towards, but once you've got the requisite feats your combat rotation becomes:>Double Brew to creature two bombs.>Double Slice to throw one bomb at your full bonus, then the second with a -2 penalty (since it's not Agile) rather than the -5 you'd normally take.You're effectively spending your remaining action each round to enable Double Slice and make your second Strike +3 more accurate than it would otherwise be. It's the best thing I've found to spend that action on as an alchemist.Also: I'd absolutely recommend Demolitionist for bomber alchemists in a Free Archetype game. Bombers require a ton of feats just to remain basically functional in combat, making them desperately feat-starved. The fact that Demolitionist contains not one but two of those must-take feats (Expanded Splash and Directional Bombs) means that you can offload those two to your Free Archetype feat slots and free up some space for more alchemist feats. The downside is that you get them later than you otherwise would, but I think it's worth it. It might be too late for him to do this, but putting off those feats until you can get them via Demolitionist at levels 8/10/12 is probably the best value you're going to get out of your FA slots. You could also go Demolitionist earlier, but that locks you into taking some of the other, less useful Demolitionist feats due to the Dedication rules. There's nothing you really need in the archetype any earlier than Directional Bombs at level 8.
>>97709500It used to be so you could cast spells in zone of silence while other people couldn't.Now it just means the librarian won't give you a nasty glare when you cast a scrying spell to find a book.
