Moloch's Fun Park Edition>What is Trench Crusade?An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.>What Trench Crusade is notTC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.>What's the QRD on the background?The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.>How do I get started?All the files are free online:https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/Comment too long.

>>97214245>might risk game balanceNot really when the shovel is more expensive than the basic melee weapons and you can't mix it with a shield since shields always take up 1 hand thus not allowing you to make a 2-handed melee attack with the shovel.
Gentlemen. I am happy to report that my knowledge of meshmixer to remix Trench Crusade STLs proceeds apace. I have successfully grafted in a polearm in place of the New Antioch Shocktroooper’s greatsword and am now experimenting with fixing an ugly mistake on the Trench Pilgrim’s War Prophet.
>>97214245It makes sense that an engineer would learn to use their shovel as a weapon, if only to reduce the need to carry both a shovel and a melee weapon.
I like the lore of D&D, I like the mechanics of Warhammer Fantasy, so just for fun I want to try and build functioning armies for Warhammer Fantasy based on D&D creatures or factions. Anyone interested in getting shit done?

>>97216454BS of two seems unnecessarily low even if they don't have a ranged attack, usually only untrained morons have that Heavy armor is +5, but otherwise seems appropriate Silver Swords are usually reserved for knights and leaders onlyGithwarriors are usually shown carrying a basic two handed sword (great weapon)Too lazy right now to math out whether the points cost makes complete sense, if it ends up being too low I would either give them a second attack and/or bump WS to 5. The Old World version of the Chaos Warrior seems to be the closest equivalent to what I outlined above and they are 15 points with a great weapon

>>97216663I kind of thought that 2 was more the "normal" score, and 3 was more "minimum of training".Doublechecking, you're right, silver swords are a rare prize - a Githyanki Knight of 7th level or higher, in AD&D, whilst high-level Githwarriors and mid-ranked gish & knights might carry either Greatswords +1 or Longswords +2, So, yes, the Silver Sword should definitely be stripped from the githwarrior and made something for githyanki knights (as a unit), heroes and lords, while standard githwarriors just wield great weapons.Appreciate you checking out the math!>>97216835>>97216883I'm not too familiar with the Scalykind Empires of the Forgotten Realms personally, but that certainly looks like a solid starting concept to me!

You know, ever since vicemayor Mallus Plagus took the mandate and conscripted all residents to erect the massive spire in place of the city hall, I've been thinking he doesn't have our best interest at heart.I mean, strongarming the coroner to destroy the autopsy report for the dessicated corpse of our old mayor was kind of a dick move, and after this story got published, all the media people got to be awfully quiet on that front.The horrible nightmares didn't let me sleep, but fortunately, HR noticed that it wasn't just me, and we have 30 minutes sleeping breaks at the office to increase productivity.That blond foreign lady is kind of hot, but I'm not into tattoos.

>>97213532Yes, actually; a /mydudes/ Craftworld called Katre-Kaan. Colours I have in mind are a forest/olive-y green with bone-white as the accent colour for helmets etc.Fluff I've got for them so far is they believe in returning the Eldar to their glory days, but unlike Biel-Tan who think the best approach is to kill everyone else, they're instead trying to build a sort of mini-empire in some corner of the galaxy for them and their friends to fuck off to and pretend everything else isn't happening, with their Craftworld parked in orbit above a maiden world. They're trying to convince other Craftworlds to join them, and also sending occasional piratical raids to find and take resources/treasures from lesser races to keep in their "empire". They're very chummy with Exodites. With the exception of the "requisition" raids, they're generally not openly aggressive but are VERY territorial about their domain and won't tolerate trespassers.
Sup GROG, me and my friend had our first game of 40K 4th Edition today. Lots of fun, but we had a few questions regarding melee combat.>Can you shoot an enemy model that's engaged in combat by another friendly unit?>Can you consolidate into another round of combat?>Passing a morale check after losing a combat just makes the squads pile in, right? And if so, does another round of combat happen?Maybe some of these answers are obvious but we missed them due to the heat of battle.

>>97214901Past the DEI accusations and the like, most regions only get one AP at a time. Especially before they just gave up on 6 books APs. The LO guides are designed to give you as much information for you to do your own adventures in, not so much an overglorified primer for an AP you may or may not like.To get something like the Tian Xia project, that requires a lot of coordination between all the disparate teams at Paizo and even that got nearly fucked over by the OGL drama (it pushed the whole deal by a year). It just makes the most sense to jump around and not always pay their Diversity Consultants to stand around and look pretty.

>>97141194Actually, I don't get why that anon chose Rogue class. Ruffian subclass and dual wielding is obviously so you can use Daishō as a Rogue, but why not pick a Fighter in the first place?
>>97216797Just a combination of Jin Sakai giving me a rogue vibe and Ruffiian having access to the loadout. It was mostly vibes-based. I wasn't really considering, like, the wholeness of Jin's mechanics and trying to fit them into a build. I just look at Ghost of Tsushima and think "oh yeah, rogue for sure," and dual-wield rogues are pretty good, and Ruffian can grab the relevant weapons and armor, so there we go. That was pretty much the extent of my reasoning.By comparison, when I look at somebody like For Honor's Kensei, I think fighter. I think it's just the beefier armor and the bigger weapon (and the fact that he's not in a game with stealth gameplay). Kensei also wields a nodachi and wears o-yoroi armor, both of which are actually already statted in 2e and are an advanced weapon and heavy armor respectively, so fighter would be a pretty natural fit for him now that I think about it. Again, I'm not like, trying to translate Kensei's moveset into a D&D-type game, but if I wanted to make a character that basically looked like Kensei and fought with the weapon he uses, that'd probably be how I did it. You could totally make Jin as a fighter too, if you wanted. No class is going to 100% replicate a character from outside of these kinds of class-based systems (see the thousand different ways people have statted Conan, or Gandalf). Really those posts were just an exercise in seeing how easy it would be to make a PC with at least a passing resemblance to the first couple samurai characters I could think of using existing character options, and it turned out to be very easy.

Anyone here got good orc related stories?, I would but my DM isn't a fan of orcs and prefers encounters with undead and big beasts than greenskin people so I have none nor do I feel like making up some bullshit tale either, like some anons here...
>>97215921>ERP around the tableAs much as I love a lewd orc, I wouldn't subject other players (whether I'm a DM or one of the PCs) to my orc girl fetish. I'm sure some people have some stories about being dragged off to the all-female orc rape camp, but apart from some cheeky jokes, I don't think most people have any stories worth recounting.
>>97215921Closest I got was my party getting hired to clear out some forests my a merchant (djinn who was fucking with us) who didn’t mention they were infested with beastmen and orcs and it was gonna be a lot longer than a single “get in fuck shit up and loot” job and we were bound to this thing.My Paladin led the charge into an orc camp and started going kill-crazy as his barely sentient/primal force moon maiden patron flooded him with zeal and wrath.At the same time, one the chief’s concubines, who didn’t like being a meat sock for this dink made her move and the party catches up and sees buckethead popping off and being helped by an equally berserk she-orc and the two tore the chief apart.They got along great after that, she became a recurring character and I retired that character with him and the orc leaving for the “little house on the prairie”No coomer shit, just the DM taking the cliche and playing it straight (hyper-loyal orc wife where violence is foreplay) and his way of saying my guy was more orc-like than the orc in the party

Without thinking about it, entirely subconsciously, you are trained by Pathfinder and D&D to safeguard your players. You are taught to coddle them! And when does this subconscious teaching happen? Not in ANY dungeon master resource. It happens before your first adventure, before your very first D20 roll.It happens when you create characters.In Pathfinder, character creation takes a ridiculous amount of time. I ran it for about six years, and I saw it take well over an hour, sometimes going up to two for new players. As a GM who understood the system inside and out, I could get it done in about a half hour. Losing a character in a game with such a painstaking character creation process is absolutely devastating. As a GM, you wonder if that person will bother to make a new character, or if they will just leave, and if they do, who will go with them? Will you even have a game afterwards?And enemy statblocks are the same way. You look at these massive text blocks that include three different saving throws, the type of hit dice, types and sub-types of creature, and perhaps most hilariously unnecessary, ALL SIX STATS. Who on earth looks at all that and dares think “I’ll make some monsters of my own!” Please understand, I’m not saying nobody makes their own monsters. I’m saying that it is an undertaking to make a monster with a statblock like that. Figuring out saves, stats, and heaven forbid you want to get CR correct, good luck with testing out that garbage.

That is purely a pathfinder problem though and I don't understand why so many on this board feel like they have to run it because the world is holding a gun to their head and demanding it.It's not even a very popular design philosophy. Most new systems/games that are being released are a lot less bloated in mechanics. People not wanting their characters to die isn't really due to the char creation process but rather due to not wanting to lose all the hours spent on playing it in my opinion.
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!

>>97214764>My main highlight in any game is a good tactical combat which I guess I like in savage worlds.ntayrt but adding in even an abstract tactical map with terrain tends to help when combined with other anon's aforementioned rule additions. Doesn't have to be fancy, but a visualization and outline of terrain combined with your party's objectives (and objectives for the opfor) tend to make the combat encounters more dynamic. Even with only Basic, having those and morale will make it more tactical.
>>97214695No, if you're used to 3/4e-style individual tactical positioning and hype special attacks it can easily come off as dry. Low-level combat in B/X is a primarily group-tactics affair and gets its texture mainly from the insanely high stakes of each roll (your average Fighter can easily get oneshotted by a goblin), equipment (spears and halberds let you attack from the second row; flasks of oil can be set alight and hurled), and traits of the environment such as fighting in a bottleneck passage.That said, with a competent referee you should be able to try various maneouvres like pushing your opponent back into a trap, tripping him, etc. Note that this doesn't cover the whole list of 3e+ special moves; disarms and whirlwind attacks are simply too good and will not under normal circumstances be permitted by a sensible referee.TL;DR set your expectations on the level of the combat and not the individual round or action.
>>97214736>neither they or myself really see what could be out there that is more interesting than the next level down.Yep, see, there's your problem. My advice to you would be: try to design a lair/one-shot dungeon with interesting contents, a tower for example or long-forgotten tomb. 10 keyed locations tops, contents suitable for having been there awhile undisturbed, like undead, or an immortal wizard, or robots, anything of that sort. Maybe *no* monsters, just traps. Try to make the prime loot something more interesting than gold –a sorcerous cube of pitch-black metal that functions as 1d20 bonus spell levels before being depleted, or some shit – though drop in the gold too. Chuck your lair on the map somewhere. Key the hexes in that general area so you have some notion of how the PCs might travel there and what they might trip over on the way. Next time the PCs score some loot, throw in a treasure map to that place.
>>97215585This is a bit specific (not in a bad way) but excellent advice overall: Just add interesting locations on the map and reasons to go there, even simple stuff like treasure maps.More ideas:1. Scatter services around the map. It's often a good idea to have specialists (sages, alchemists, trainers, mercenaries) be available in different towns and villages to force players to travel occasionally.2. It's also very important to implement some form of strict or loose 1:1 time and downtime play, as that introduces things to do with gold.If your players are really fixated on only going into the dungeon there's no reason to mess with them, it's their right. (1) and (2) mostly happen during downtime by definition, so they'll still be dungeon delving for the most part during actual sessions.And yes they might have some unused gold if dungeon delving is all they ever do. Not a tragedy, but do emphasise that it's their choice if it comes up.
>>97206024As a few things when I make a setting and region. I make sure to have at least 4 major cities/hubs with something you can only get there. From a Blacksmith who can make high-tier gear, a enchanter, etc. Maybe even make one of them a small town and it's known cause of them or something. So going there the only thing you can do is that.2nd when you make dungeons, BBEGs, and other major hooks I make it something that can go on without them. So if they don't take care of a goblin camp in a cave. It become a big problem for the region and where you had maybe at most 2 dozen goblins to deal with. Now it's over a 100 and have casters and they know how to fight and defend.Push downtime activities, especially for stuff at the end or beginning of a session. Maybe someone making a new weapon, crafting some potions or scrolls, training, etc. When they get back let them find out how well they did and all. So you have a reason for time to pass in the setting.Don't let players be the center of the world and let the world turn on it's own. Let things happen and be talked about that isn't about the PCs or their quests and all. You think it might be pointless but make the world feel a bit more lived in and real. Especially at lower levels.
