>>97168491>gothamchess/agadmator/pegasuschess.I don't think it's fair to group Levy in with those two. Obviously Danya's a far stronger player and far far better youtuber, but it's unfair to call Levy talentless when he is an IM.>>97168971My favorite chess memory was getting stalemated around a friends house in a hopelessly lost position. He was raging so hard, and I just kept saying that the result means that we played equally well. Good times.

>>97171363Limited movement range in a combat heavy game is a pretty massive flaw.It's also why Monks were fucking ridiculous compared to everyone else.
>>97171417Well done, I feel more disciplined and virtuous already.
>>97171414This makes me want to play an Aasimar Ranger simply by virtue of it being the least picked combination.
I have the task of setting up a game for my wife and daughter, as basically my first foray into DMing. I've been considering putting them into my work-in-progress homebrew setting, but I don't really feel confident I can run it kid friendly. So my next idea was to just steal the WoW classic human quest chain as my campaign setting because I know the setting quite well. The general beats being:>Fight the kobolds for control of the mines>Fight the gnolls who raid the southwest >Find clues about the defias brotherhood supporting the gnolls>Fight the defias brotherhood in the deadmines>Uncover the noble who supports the defias from within stormwind>The missing diplomat chain starts. >Sent to Duskwood to investigate the defias there>Optionally fight some undead and Morbent Fel>Sent to Theramore, find the place where the missing diplomat was imprisoned but he apparently is no longer there. Find information about the orcs in Redridge having some role in it.>Fight the orcs at Redridge, leading to entering the burning steppes and finding the quest hook to the Jailbreak line.>Do the jailbreak line, discover the true identity of Katrana Prestor and throw her out of Stormwind>Fight Onyxia in her home and possibly breadcrumb to Nefarian in Blackwing lair.Comment too long.

>>97171909Jesus what an ESL post
>>97173776ESL rules the internet and will forver rule the internet, you big dummy. Get used to it. Or dont. You will forver be a minority.
Seeing how your wife and kid are the player characters, maybe check out the WoW comic book from Wildstorm. You could let them straight-up meet Lo'gash and maybe replace Broll and Valeera. Gladiator pits are a fun plot hook.
>>97173875>Seeing how your wife and kid are the protagonists and don't have to share that role with millions of other PCs,Sorry. I'm retarded and trans
>>97171909The daughter is 7 and has no background in fantasy at all. My wife is generally more interested in splinter cell type stuff. We all do love going to castles and stuff, and I play pretend sword fighters with my daughter sometimes. We are also very much board game people. In general they're at least not much burdened by tropes or expectations.As for getting them to not side with the defias, I'll probably do an "all of the above" approach. So the payment cant be made because kobolds in the mines. Also I'm not going to outright tell them unless they pry. Also constant low level annoyances. Also they're cruel and heartless. Also a defector states that they're not cool. >>97172352I ran two oneshots for my regular dnd group. Who are mostly spectrum people. It went pretty okay, but I'm more nervous about this because I need to provide something bigger and more coherent. Also, the only way to get into DMing is to do it I think. And in this case my subjects don't really know what to expect.>>97173594>>97173700Hopefully my wife and daughter will not be doing that kind of stuff. I feel like its more of a sperg gamer thing anyway.

>>97174026I think I'm just going to quit playing and cut my losses. It may sound like excuses, but this was supposed to be fun, and it's not. It was nothing like this in my old area.>Don't let the whale into your games. Tried it. The store owners say I have to, because that guy spends thousands on MTG, keeping both stores afloat, and they don't want him to feel upset. A choice between him and me, and they have always picked him.>Say you're full. Don't allow players to bring in friends in case the 'friend' is the whale.Tried it. The population here is so small that everybody knows the whale, and they're all MTG players before RPG players, they just dabble. I am actually the newbie since I moved here for a job a few years ago.>Hold the games somewhere other than the stores. Tried it. People started calling me a creep for trying to bring people to my house, instead of the 'place you play games' so I stopped. Almost DnD satanic panic-esque, and I wasn't going to deal with that.Sorry, bros
>>97174089I read all of your reasons why none of that worked and I was gonna ask why the fuck you're here then because this isn't your goddamn blog, but I missed the header. Genuinely, you're better off quitting if it's this bad for you and your mental health. All I can offer you are my condolences, anon. Take care of yourself, and I hope you find another way one day.
>>97173824Yep that's it, they had to rummage around undercover as natives of the planet and that was basically impossible with that big ass power armor proudly flaunting the Ebon Chalice emblem and all the cyberimpant stuff magos ends up carrying, so they ended up cosplaying as mercenaries with good old plate armors and crossbows. It was easier for the rest of the team especially for the savage world assassin having a blast sneaking around without the risk of being spotted by cameras etc. Ended up being good fun for everyone, even the psyker that kicked the bucked while pleading for his life about "not being a filthy sorcerer i swear"
>>97174131When I ran Acreage I wasn't that demanding. Acreage has like five spaceports, and it's a plot point in Maggots in the Meat that off-world mercs are flooding to Acreage to participate in the war of succession, or to sell off-world guns and armour because the people on Acreage are willing to pay through the nose for them.The town the acolytes visit has guys in flak with Munitorum-grade hunting rifles even, and they absolutely fuck the common musketmen of Acreage. That being said, if they're undercover as natives then they definitely did have to grade down - but as it stood it would've been plausible to present themselves as off-world mercs. But your game, and if they had fun they had fun, right.
>>97164087there are, but as troops that you request in various ways.

Sending a shout out and thanks to OK Anon- I think you're better than OK, you're pretty great!Dad jokes aside, this is great- I love the models, and I'm really looking forward to tackling those sprues (they are definitely a step up in complexity than I've ever done before, so it'll be a good challenge! Thank you for including the instructions, you're a Saint). The collection of .sti's is great; I've flirted with the notion of getting into 3d printing, and with a resource like this it would seem a shame not to take a stab at it. The supplies will definitely be put to use, and the bits bags are great. The baklavas, you'll be happy to know, came at the perfect time for a coffee break, and are delicious. Thank you so much, and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas holiday!(Captcha: XHM4S)
>here's ur evil empire bro. you won't support them right?
>>97173327>The Ottomans were viewed as backward and barbaric to Age of Enlightenment Brits, French and Germans.That came much later, really. The Enlightenment generally thought that Oriental Despotism was a very good thing and a model to follow as it seemingly lead to iron clad religious tolerance and a working meritocracy.Folks would get why it's a Turk looking down on the English fanatics, in any case.
>>97146852Unless the Ottomans decided to put Poland under new Management too. Seems to be the thing to do.
>>97173327>What made them the evil ones in the eyes of the Europeans was the fact that they had a LOT of slave raids on European countries as far as Ireland and Norway. Slave raiders consistently sailed up to unsuspecting Italian, French, and Spanish coastal cities."You can dish it out, but you just can't take it."
>>97146117>empireOttomans; islamized and turkified populations so much that today they do not look like mongols or central asian turks but all the peoples they islamized and turkified. if they were actual turks they would look like mongols, not even like central asian turks of today.

>>97166745Thank you.I was trying 2d6 dungeon and I died at lvl2. It is fun but lack of dept, it is very random and doesn't have much room for actual "roleplay". Still fun though.
I gave 2d6 Dungeon a try the last couple of days and… zzzzzzI’ve played a ton of Ker Nethalas and the whole time I was playing 2d6 Dungeon I just found myself thinking “man, I wish I was playing Ker Nethalas”The combat mechanics of 2d6 Dungeon are neat, but the rest of the game just feels so barren and boring And Christ the 500 tables thing is clunky as hell
>>97171910>it seemed like any other osr-kinda gameI'd say that's a correct assessment. It's just a matter of if it clicks with you or not.I personally like it mostly because I'm Swedish, so it's the culture. I think the re-roll mechanic (same as in most Free League games) and mallards are pretty neat though haha
>>97172948The cultural importance Arne Anka have on you is something else. I was skimming a lot of osr stuff like Tales of Argosa, Old Sword Reign, OSE among other when I skimmed it, so that might have something to do with it. It was also around the time I realized d20 system probably wasn't for me

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?

>>97170850Are you saying that image demonstrates a lack of understanding of roleplay, or that it goes against old-school play because they didn't understand roleplaying as well as the image? You're wrong either way.
>>97173969Thanks bro, you really understood what I was asking for.Sometimes dungeon synth is too upbeat for dungeoncrawling, sometimes it's just creepy ambience, and I really want something a mix in between, something that is both melodic and atmospheric.
