how after so many fucking years there's not a compilation of actually useful, compressive worldbuilding resources? there's next to 0 guides out there on how to do anything that is not the blandest dnd clone ever and not even in deep, just superficial trash. is worldbuilding a lost technology among nerds?
just get "X withouth number" books or some other random generator if you're lazy, there's plenty around
>>97836873I am including all the good advice in my RPG, be sure to buy it when it comes out.
>>97836873What the fuck is that? Worldbuilding resources? Just read books, wikis, or fucking tvtropes
>>97836873If you’re too lazy to read source material, you shouldn’t be worldbuilding. It’s that simple.
>>97836873I would criciticize the contradiction to want tools to help you make something unexpected but I dont really know how these world building books work.Personally I do it by thinking up a setting I would like then shaping it so that individual actions matter, usually by having something horrible happen. Basically, for ttrpg settings to work you need a setting where players cant just call the cops or the national guard or any sort of aid. No one is coming so they have to solve the problems themselves. Apocalypse or government failures are good ones.
I heard ChatGPT was a decent enough solo DM experience and I decided to try it>generic human fighter whose job was to guard a princess but failed>first session starts alright, fought some water soaked zombies and found the princess>couple of more sessions in there's a global level system which dictates which reality is true and uses human anchors in case it can't stabilize a location>another couple of sessions in I am now arguing logics with ChatGPT because I got some superpower which lets me create point and relationships between them>end up this first arc building a system where synthetical ancors replace human anchors and it took me a while to cover all edge cases>this is at level 4>explicitly say I do not want to deal with this stuff anymore>ChatGPT: "You're totally right!" ;^)>next arc is about a network of reality bending doors in which couriers must transport fragments of reality from door to door to keep the reality in check>the only way I could disrupt this was by PLACING FUCKING STEPPING STONES IN AN IRREGULAR BUT NON-OBVIOUS WAY>my fucking god>write explicity multiple times in the source of the project to not have any other reality bending stuff and all that happened earlier was an exception>ChatGPT: "You're absolutely right!" ;^)Comment too long.

>>97837598ChatGPT is bad at being a DM because it cannot improvise, it can only reiterate that which exists.
>>97837598wow, youre retarded
>>97837618Yeah I noticed, still better than having to be a forever DM at the moment.
>>97837598Could you give mode information? Did you tell it to make an acid trip of a system or was that suddenly out of the blue?
>>97837667Apparently it was because of how I was messing with it. It started from:>a basin holding water which can be interacted with a rod>some wells also do similar things>actually these things are nodes and they can become unstable and create logically breaking visible patterns, and they can kill you>actually nodes are everywhere but as you are literally going against this system you can just sit in an unstable zone and fix it>after some training you can create points and relationship between them but beware they're pretty much computer programming but more complex>actually now I'll give you what's essenstially moderator privileges over the system after you interacted with something the NPCs told you specifically not toThe only somewhat fun part was teasing the princess as for some reason she was affected by this system and me going against it made her stabilize if I was close to her, bed included

>>97837549>you never answered what Kisui’s actual strategy in the race would be I thought I did.They need to cross the water right? So he and Kaz can travel under the water iirc, and probably faster than a boat. The fun idea was for Nekomaru to get a Kan'oke mask to filter oxygen or creep into his lungs for him. Otherwise they can do that PoC thing with the boat, instead a big seaweed hat.After that it was leaving traps in the forms of spikes, punji sticks, etc. I also thought that the idea of them using gliders made from kelp to skip some distance would be cool and useful.Anything more specific?

I tend to forget when I’ve had a conversation with someone sometimes. I’ll try to keep all of this in mind. Would Kisui have back-up plans? Like, what if the chasers catch up to them?

>>97837406We don't know but I wouldn't put it past them. Honestly, given their advanced tech, especially when it comes to the Dark Eldar, it would make sense that they could just alter their skin color to suit their tastes. However, again, lorewise they have been consistently described as pale skinned, with Dark Eldar being often described as being exteremely pale and almost corpse like in their skin color.
>>97837081They abide by the golden ratio.
I was going to use the fictional religion of the story 'stranger in a strange land' called 'The Church of all worlds' and their thing with psychic powers. But I found out that psychics are illegal in the Island setting of the game. So is there any other fictional religion with an air of legitimacy or at least some sort of supernatural powers?
Does it have to be based on a real religion? You can use whatever as a basis to justify powers, from eastern cultivation to 1984 party powers that actually work.
>>97834539This is one of the stupidest fucking questions I have ever seen here. I genuinely cannot conceptualize what you're actually asking for. How are you not able to just say that the religion has those things, what are you actually digging after?
>>97835744Thank you, I didn't even think about that. I was using the religion as away from my character to escape his past life. So it had to have some sort of otherworldly or supernatural legitimacy to it in a way.
>>97837710Every fucking religion claims supernatural legitimacy. It's part of what makes them religions in the first place.

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.

>>97833011Ah, right. I think I was getting it mixed up with the rules where you used to be able to Overrun as part of a Charge as well. No attacks for the horse then, unless you manage to line up a shot where he does a ride-by on one player then ends up next to another one for the horse to attack/Bull Rush.
>>97829802>>97829802Those are a bit weak on the scale of Nymph's kiss or even the niche power of Lichloved.>what's the fey banger feat called?Nymph's Kiss it's unfortunately Exalted ad needs you to keep the relationship going (And Fey tend to be fickle with even the good ones pulling you into the occasional mean prank that might cost you your Exalted status)These are usually very powerful feats, Lichloved is fairly niche but strong in that niche, while Nymph's kiss is just mondo strong.Fey creatures regard you as though you were fey. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus on all Charisma-related checks, and a +1 bonus on all saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities. Starting with the level when you take this feat, you gain 1 extra skill point per level.Nice as a starter.I like the idea of a "Gotta fuck em all' playthough where there's a separate track without nonsex prereqs (And players possibly start with one or two) just to get crazy.
>>97833501>Those are a bit weakI was intentionally picking weak ones that a DM might be convinced to throw your way as a free feat for role playing in a standard game.If you want to have a 'Gotta fuck em all' game centered around the theme I would suggest that you don't pigeon hole every creature with an exact line of feats but come up with a generic system.I have one like that from a lewd themed game I planned out but never got to run.The gist was, some goddess blessed PCs as her champions and granted them an ability to copy aspects of the girls they slept with. For every creature of a given species one sleeps with, gets a cumulative +1% chance to copy one of their feats / abilities / skills at random. Once copied from a given species, can't copy anything more from them, have to look for others.The cost of this was that a PC who accepted being a champion of that goddess, couldn't get anything except class abilities by any other means, took massive penalties against any kind of seduction/mind control and monster girls could drain his magic abilities through sex. That last one was to intentionally sabotage spell caster classes, since in this game, martials couldn't make any proper builds.
>>97835083Entirely fair. My idea was to have em be powerful but to throw higher CRs at them.(System would be a bit of a restricted Gestalt too so they're already OP whis just helps even it out)
>>97833501>>97835083and yet there's no feat that a dragon or lich can take that lets them debase themselves to the point they'll fuck a human

More like, Retardia!>Theros? More like, Lameos!
>>97835522Going by the broader ideas of Eberron, it was always odd that the dragons weren't just mostly extinct aside from a handful. Or that they weren't capped out at 'young dragon' in terms of size and power, but made up for it with spellcasting and large quantities of magic items. That has them align more with the rest of the setting in terms of power. If it's really that important for them to be CR 24 and they're going to be isolationist anyway, then they should have the same problems as the loli pope and end up nerfed outside of their lairs and nerfed further outside of their continent. Then it's actually possible to identify why dragons never getting involved is so rare, because only the most powerful dragons can actually maintain enough power to reasonably disguise themselves and operate in a clandestine manner outside of their homeland. And it'd be incredibly risky for them because they could get offed by a random assassin. So many easy ways to address this and make dragons actually usable without raising too many questions.
>>97836914Yes, Keith Baker underutilizes the idea of "region-locked" (for lack of a better term) super-powerful beings. He already uses it for, say, the Undying Court of Aerenal, explaining why the Aereni never bothered to expand outwards into Khorvaire. He should have used the idea for Argonnessen, too.>If it's really that important for them to be CR 24Again:https://keith-baker.com/dm-arcane-arts/ (ctrl+f for "wild dragon")https://keith-baker.com/dm-arcane-arts/#comment-227298Here, Keith Baker unironically claims that a challenge 24 dragon in the 5e Monster Manual is just some wild dragon, not a proper wyrm of Argonnessen, who would be much more powerful. This is ridiculous to me, considering that the mightiest of the known daelkyr, Dyrrn, is also challenge 24.This is not even factoring in the greatwyrms.So by Keith logic, that CR 24 dragon is an untrained, feral scrub.
>>97837478Sounds like Baker is stuck in the 3e days when CR for powerful entities went up above 30 while in 5e CR 30 is the highest CR although to be fair, I remember the 5e 2014 Tarrasque being theoretically able to be whittled down and defeated by a bunch of flying archers with magic bows which is pretty dumb.
>>97836914>>97837478Part of the problem was that Argonnessen was intended to be one of the "Epic level" zones of Eberron during 3.X. Remember Eberron was supposed to be a setting that could hold a version of "everything" in D&D with in it which included the Epic stuff. This idea was lost in the 3e -> 4e and 4e -> 5e transitions.>Khorvaire - low to medium level adventures>Xen'drik - medium to high level adventures>Argonnessen - high to epic level adventures>Sarlona - low to high level adventures (psionic focused)>Khyber - medium to high level adventures>Deep Khyber - high to epic level adventuresIt was designed with an MMO expansion pack design loosely based on Everquest's expansion packs.

>>97834521I'm absolutely convinced, because the Exalts weren't written in parallel, that this was a combination of Holden and Morke future-proofing Solar Bureaucracy against unforeseen shenanigans that could unhinge the Ability set, and some degree of Holden's philosophy of Solar favoritism manifesting itself. I've found his pattern of going just slightly too far with Solars very consistent in his work from Ink Monkeys to ExWod. Can't argue that it's fun when you benefit from it though, and to be fair to the guy, Solars being first out the gate has always been to their detriment each edition.

Repeat after me: MAKE. YOUR. POTIONS. IN. PILL. FORME!Pills are ancient, they predate Egypt! We made pills better in medieval Europe by putting them inside purified nontoxic silver to boost power, we don't do that anymore because it's too expensive.Whole reason why we take pills and don't drink medicine is because any medicine is just 0.1% active ingredients, putting it inside a pill is more efficient, making it a drink is wasteful.Realistically in DND, if potions were real, they'd kill adventurers, all over the Adventures Guild you'd see newspapers like:>SSS-rank barbarian killed in the Dungeon because drinking healpot takes too long!>LVL 99 thief killed in the Dungeon because he choked on manapot... it went down the wrong hole!>The Hero killed in the Dungeon because he tripped down stairs and broke all pots!Potions? Not even once! Pills are the right way.
>>97836335>>97837011Maybe a reduced or delayed effect in exchange for ease of use, like requiring a faster action type rather than a full one? It also takes up much less space and you don't have glass bottles with liquid sloshing around.
>>97836755Doesn't apply to healing
>>97837095Could have it so any effect triggers at the start of the character's next turn, so that even if it doesn't require a full action to consume, there is still some planning involved. Weighing less is also a potential aspect, although potions aren't exactly the heaviest thing anyway.
>>97836415Obsessed
>>97837304I don't think there's many cases where the volume/weight of potions actually becomes an issue, and it mainly would depend on the dose and size of the container anyway.

>>97836377What color is the complete opposite then?
>>97836553Compared to Yellow/Purple? It's gotta be Red Green. It's about big numbers, suspending so I can punch you in the face or Raid so I can punch your biggest thing in the face.
>>97836486There are a couple ways to do it. bt16 Pail 2 checks -> bt12 dragonmode 1 check -> ad fightermode 2 checks, so you've stripped all 5 security for 3 memory or less depending on your level 4s and tamers. So bt5 omni or bt20 omni X for the final check. You can also do 4-5 checks by using the starter dragon mode to play out your 4s, DNA into pail to swing 1-2 times more and go into another imperial.
>>97835022If he can get some kind of protection over him he'll be pretty good as evoing by effect is very common place now(trainings, promo TS rookies, Medusa egg etc).

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 fuckWe 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?
>>97833928Are you fucking gay or something
