>>97153772You can play a kid in D&D, i've done it before.I wouldn't recommend doing it for anything but a non-wizard caster. Non-wizard because kids don't have enough time to become one, and caster because martials 1. are typically disadvantaged by being you know, a child, of child strength and size, and 2. because martials are in the line of fire more and dead kids is kind of a mood killer.That's why for my character that was a kid, I was a warlock (made a deal basically because she didn't know better) and took Lucky to have the kind of plot armor that kids always get in stories so they don't feel so brutal.

>>97175175>So what's the story behind MCYOAG and CYOAG and Jumpchain and what makes their CYOAs any different from each otherThe /cyoag thread is the original.Jumpchain is a spinoff loosely inspired by the idea of planeswalking. Players start in one CYOA/jumpchain world, and move that build through several additional CYOAs, accumulating powers in each. Power creep is often an issue, as a jumpchain build can end up quite powerful after a while. They've been split off long enough to have their own catalog of jumpchain-optimized cyoas./mcyoag only spun off about two-three years ago. At the time, we had a bunch of people who wanted their builds to all be in the same version of the world, and they wanted to do this for several cyoas at the same time, including a Harry Potter one. Having multiple "shared" worlds got messy, so they spun off into their own thread. Less chance of them missing a post about a shared world they cared about, while people who weren't interested didn't have to wade through their discussions./cyoag and /mcyoag generally have the same library of cyoas
>>97175175>>97175293Jumpchain spunoff for the exact same reason Power Armor, Magical Realm, Stardust, Conduit, Accidental Magical Girl, Tower Girls to a certain extent (there was also a meltdown over furries with that one,) and a few others split off: The author, Quicksilver in this case, made a really popular CYOA (about Pokemon, though he made one about Infamous too) Conversation over this CYOA was very popular, and there was even interest in fan expansions. This made people who hate it have a shitfit and scream and stomp until the popular CYOA they didn't like was chased off. Jumpchain is only different from all these others in that its format allowed the massive explosion of fancontent to the point where jumps became an entire sub-genre of CYOAs, and this has made it very, very enduring.

>>97174757I'm expecting a huge spike in it's points (likely 5 -> mid 30s, maybe 50 even) in Gen. and a limit in Adv.My only concern with the card is that it's load-bearing to some stupid deck entering the format.I think they need to do the Charmy treatment for droll, hell make it a charmy too. I would personally like to see something like a Dark Law effect on it so rather than preventing adds it only lets you go neutral in card econ. The one point I would like to make against that idea though is that it slows play down a bit by having to randomly determine a card to be hit.
>>97174757Ban Mulcharmys
>>97175097I'm expecting Droll to go to 15 in Genesys. Issue with it currently is that the points are low enough that it might as well be free. It's good for the card to have relatively-low points so that you can comfortably run it as a generic, but it needs to be high enough that you need to sacrifice other generics in order to run it.

>>97163056>>97163467thanks for reading and for your constructive feedback! I copied your replies to the discussion section, so I can use them as a guideline when I write on. I really appreciate the effort you put into your analyses and I'll try to put them to good use.Just to give some context:I'm not a learned writer by any means. I dropped out of university many years ago and never really wrote a proper paper. I'm just imitating the style of the kind of books I like to read (besides rpg stuff) and try to examine topics from the hobby in that fashion. I wrote the text because these things are going trough my mind and it's fun to write them down, further developing my thoughts in doing so. There's no clear aim or perspective behind the writing. I could just have hacked it into my plaintext editor, stored the file somewhere on my harddrive and forget about it, but I like the idea that it can be found in a remote corner of our sweet old wiki.
>>97164841You bet! Glad it's useful, man.I'm the first anon and would suggest you take a look at persuasive writing if you want to hone the idea a bit more. Keeping it opinion based rather than having to 'prove' your viewpoint can also make it a lot more fun.Having to organize thoughts on paper is pretty tough sometimes.
What's the secret sauce to writing a humorous campaign and scenarios for me and the lads? I'm genuinely perplexed on how to be funny and to do it without being snobbish to the players.
>>97170448If there was a secret to writing humour, whoever knew it would be a millionaire. It's why comedy movies are basically a dead artform at this point: most of the time you don't know in advance if they're going to be massive successes or huge bombs. A joke that's funny on paper can sound completely cringe if delivered wrong, and what one person finds funny might sound totally stupid to someone else. My advise is to simply write whatever you like then run it past someone else first to see if the humour lands.
>>97170448My only advice would be an anecdote: the best humor campaign I ever ran was designed to be funny in hindsight. Humor is tough on tt because it flows more naturally from the group than from you. In the campaign, aspects of the old gods would infect certain regions. Warping them to be like itself in different ways. The campaign was played straight. The players couldnt quite guess what the old god was. Enemies were often giant apes, inhabitants became radioactive under a partial moon, the bad guys used swords and scimitars. There was a ton of other stuff. The people were crazy, there was a yellow malaise, the party was working for a trade guild that wanted the resources of the island, giant spiders hid among the populace, etc. I like to think it was kinda spooky. I played it perfectly straight. The only real clues that would actually give it away plainly was the music, but my choices were always a bit weird and only popped up every so often in the list so it wasn't really acknowledged. It was the god of bananas. No one really noticed that the shop songs were things like "I like bananas because they have no bones" and "yes, we have no bananas" and a bunch of less recognized DK music to fit the island jungle theme.

>>97172326>Just to be clear,[...]I know, I was just addressing the both of you.>If you want to "FEEL" anything, you REQUIRE self-consistency.Not necessarily. I'm rewatching Code Geass since I never finished it, and I think this is another example that I like, and it definitely doesn't follow consistency and you have some of the mecha flying around doing anime swordsman flips. But I like it because I can feel how much the Knightmare Frames outclass tanks and other devices.Also>Human are hardwired to recognize pattern and put off by anything that don't follow any.I think this is only true of the autistic. If the normies hated this so much, I don't think we'd have marvelslop or today's political climate.
>>97171187looked it up and that looks perfect. No, the mechs in my setting aren't fighting military so there won't be heavy weapons. Though they might get a hammer on the face or clawed really hard>>97171156the cockpit block itself would be the most armored area of the mech itself so I might add on something like thatOn that note, I also want some suggestion on ammo. Due to a treaty in my setting, the materials allowed for projectiles are mostly Zinc, Copper and Bronze, with all bullets being subsonic. Any interesting notes or materials/composites I might not know? Same thing, affordable or easy to procure and strong enough but not good at heavy armor piercing.

>>97170629>disabling the inertia protections, those near-lightspeed maneuvers become lethal to the enemy.Do GTMs even have those? I'm pretty sure the War Caster (aka Knights aka Headliners aka Chevaliers) bullshits enough to survive the impossible G on their own. The controls of GTMs traces the user's movement like Mobile Fighters so technically the weares themselves needs to move that fast, proportionally.

Post franchises you think should be or should have gotten tabletop RPGs or war games.Considering how wild the 90's was, I'm legitimately surprised this of all things didn't get one, frankly.
>>97175000Yeah, but I'm still surprised it never got an RPG. Just seems like it would have been one of those franchises a company in the 90s tried to force into it.Like the Lawnmower Man one or Dallas.
>>97175004I suppose I can kind of see your point, but the one I was trying to make is there there wasn't enough to Tek War to make into an RPG. It's honestly baffling that they were able to stretch out it's paper thin premise into a bad Build Engine video game out of it.
>>97175036There were novels before the TV series and the game happened.
>>97175047I'm aware, but it's essentially just a generic cop story where they sometimes talk about computers and microchips. It's a sci-fi future where everything is 90% the same as the 80s, but people are addicted to narcotic VR porn instead of cocaine and meth.

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.

>>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.
Today was session 55 of my BFRPG campaign.My players finally finished the first region of the first floor of the main dungeon. They rescued a witch who'd been captured by a bunch of orcs working for the priest they captured last session. (The witch gave them potions that cure petrification.) Oh also, the priest that they captured last time drank a potion of gaseous form and managed to escape. I had him run to a major city to the north.Now that they completed the first region of the dungeon, they surveyed the surface and found where each of it's above-ground entrances are in correlation to one another, doing so led them to a dormant portal (That secretly leads to Carcosa...) They got attacked by a giant tree-dwelling Decapus, and managed to take it down with a squad of sword-bearing dwarves.Also, one of their retired characters got married and they had a dwarven wedding with a drinking competition and wrestling tournament. They lost the drinking tournament, but the party's Fighting Woman won a round against one of the dwarven heroes at the wedding, which caused an uproar among the audience. But it was all in good fun.Looking forward to next session. They mentioned exploring an old, abandoned mine that they found earlier in the campaign.
