Anon, please, try to take a moment to think. Havesh dreaming about the Usurpation means that Havesh has a memory from the end of his last life. Do you have some reason to assume that all Solars retain their last memory, or that all past life memories are from the same time period? If you do, what is that reason? Because I'm pretty sure that past life memories are from across the past lives, with some of them being from the end of the last life because, you know, that's also a part of the past lives, and others from different points in time. If those memories were skewed towards the end of the last life, we should see more Solars remembering the Usurpation.
>>
>>97206147
>I think the reason Bronze is wrong is not due to not wanting to risk all of Creation on a longshot but due to how they've handled things after the Usurpation. It feels like they just gave up and went "eh, good enough" at some point instead of trying to make things as good as they could possibly be.
I think that's more of a Yu Shan / Celestial Bureaucracy thing than it is a Sidereal thing. The Sidereals are part of this whole ecosystem and culture that's actually doing just fine as far as standard of living goes, and have passed on ruling over Creation in favor of handing that responsibility to the Dragonblooded. The maintenance of Creation is their job, just like everybody else in the Celestial Bureaucracy, but raising the standard of living and making things in Creation as good as they could be isn't something they're duty-bound to pursue any more than it is their responsibility to ensure the Underworld is a good place for ghosts to experience their afterlives.
>>
>>97206292
Oh, sure, I understand why Bronze thinks the way it does, but I think it's still definitely the case that they sort of started something and then left it for others to finish, and I think that there's a clear moral failing there even if Sidereals aren't duty-bound to make Creation better.
>>
>>97206301
The Usurpation is the moment the Sidereals gave up on trying to make Creation better and devoted themselves only towards keeping Creation from getting worse (they couldn't do that, either).

1st ed is already covered by /osrg, and so are retroclones. Which basically makes this 2eg yet again. Whatever, if he wants to exile himself to his own thread, let him. Maybe it will reduce the time he spends trolling the real osrg and 3eg and god knows how many other threads.

The old meme is that /tg is the board of fantasy eugenics, but that's about races. Which classes are the most attractive and why?

I 100% consider warlocks the least attractive. Eldritch blast is cool, and it's true that extradimensional fyne shawties do be having horrific alien curves of dark and sultry implications in harrowing dimensions where other girls don't even have harrowing dimensions, but there's nothing less attractive than a girl who very likely would sell one of your children. Absolutely no way I'd date a warlock.

>>97204938
>gaslight: the class

I would rank them only slightly higher than warlocks. If I'm not completely mistaken the entire class is about roofie-ing your judgement and deluding you into obeying the beguiler's commands. Any hypothetical girlfriend will already be a woman and have ass and titty, a beguiler is just double woman, but without actually getting two women. I would massively disagree on beguilers being hot.

Sorcerers maybe? High charisma and the chance for your kids to inherit magic. There might be some character flaws from growing up with everything handed to them on a silver platter because of their genetics but that's no different from any girl who's a 7+/10?

I haven't figured out the name, but there's a, "secret society," named something like, "The Stonesmiths". An immense amount of rich and influential people belong to it, and it's fairly well known to the public. There are constant, never-ending conspiracy theories generated about it.
In truth, it's mostly a drinking club with obscure hazing rituals that are an excuse to drink more. Some shady business deals and political bargains are made in it, but not much else. Maybe there is a true kernel of diehard weird occult dudes at the heart of it, but nobody in the organization cares about them.

I don't really like the idea of a single hidden conspiracy group being responsible for a bunch of bad things. Despite what /pol/ tells you, that's not how it works.

To me, it's more satisfying if the collapse of the global magical teleportation network was NOT caused by some dudes in robes and masks ushering in the apocalypse, but instead a society becoming complacent, cutting funding for maintenance, repairs, and research, and making short term gains and profits a priority.
You know, human nature and stuff.

I am working on a ttrpg setting that is very inspired by Greek mythology and I am looking for a good name for a dragon humanoid race. I've been using "Ophoio" as their term for now, but I want to change it to something else. I'm thinking of something to do with the legend of Cadmus and sowing the dragon's teeth, like calling them Kadameans or Draksperi. Do either of those two sound good, or do any of you have better ideas? I'm totally open to sharing more info about the race to help.

Red: Modgard
Yellow: Fjarrjord
Purple: Forngard
Orange: Grunjorth
A lot of overlap because a lot of these peoples are tribal and move around without much regard for official borders. And the Solberg Empire claims the entire continent as theirs with varying degrees of power and influence across the land.

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:

I ran an end of year survey fory players, one concern that was raised is they have too much gold!
This jogged my memory that I should calculate what they owe the innkeeper, and perhaps organise a visit from the tax-man. They keep all their gold, gems & jewellery in the bank, I suppose it is the banker's duty to report the party's assets & maybe even withdraw the taxable amount from their account?
I'm thinking that this will happen quarterly, and 10% seems a nice round number (so why not go for 15? Or 1d6+9?). Has anyone else introduced the "other" inevitability into their games?
>>
>>97206024
>How do you handle world events?

I think the way probably lies in world events happening in between sessions. That way the next time we sit down to play, I just present the state of things as they are and the players can still act/react as they wish.
This seems better than the alternative of railroading a session into some kind of war/battle scale event.
I haven't reached this stage in my campaign yet, but I plan to enact a change in the status quo pretty soon.

Friendly thread reminder that "first-decade" is a contested, loaded definition pushed by a handful of trolls to censor topics they dont like.
Feel free to talk about 2e, retroclones and whatever else in the OSR that you wish, and handily ignore any naysayers.
Also ignore any claims of "hijacking" its code for "stuff we dont like" and any anon who has been on this website for 5 minutes knows its impossible to "hijack" a 4chan thread.

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 not
TC 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.

big haul edition

▶What is Kingdom Death?
Kingdom Death is a tabletop miniature brand stared by Adam Poots and operated by himself and his Team that later spun off into a miniature based bored game funded by two very successful Kickstarter campaigns.

▶What is Kingdom Death: Monster?
Monster is a Nightmare Horror cooperative boss battler/miniature hobby game for 1-4 players about hope in a strange world of bizarre monstrosities and perpetually darkness. Players take on the role of survivors that band together to form a settlement, fighting monsters, crafting weapons and gear, and developing their civilization to ensure survival from generation to generation.

Prologue Narration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNLc8dHv0Ac

The Game is broken up into 3 phases:
1. During your Hunt Phase your band of survivors traverse the world of KD in pursuit of their quarry.
2. After successfully tracking your quarry you will begin the Showdown Phase, where you must fell these horrific creatures in order to acquire precious resources.
3. After the battle, your survivors wander home with loot in hand to begin the Settlement Phase. Arm yourself by developing new weapons and bizarre structures to prepare for next year's hunt.

If they weren't retards, they'd sell products people wanted to buy instead of "gay dwarf bakery" and "Mexican Orcs" modules.

They aren't just retards; they're gay race-marxist diversity-retards.

That's not just normal retardation; that's a pathologically malicious disposition masquerading as a social conscience, and it takes a particular sort of cognitive dissonance to sustain, which is coincidentally, not conducive to entertaining or relating to normal people, or the things they like.

Burn and die WOTC.

You can teach a system by SHOWING instead of EXPLAINING how it works. You usually don't need to read more than your class to play; the rest I can explain in less than a minute during the session. Bookkeeping is light (to not say non-existent). If you want to go deeper, there are good suplements out there and it's easy as fuck to homebrew.

Reading the rules as a GM is fine, making sure the players get it is the problem. The only answer so far was GURPS. Imagine explaining magic in GURPS to someone who's playing for the first time vs magic in 5e.

Ask me how I know you're a no games
Would you eat a soup that was only 5% human shit?
Would you choose it when a bowl of no-shiy soup is on the table right next to it? Why?

Really I'd just suggest any fairly light system that's easy for running a one-shot. My preference there has been Call of Cthulhu, just because I tend to find new players have an easier time with a modern setting.

But really the only reason to avoid 5e is for a few of the bad habits it can cause. Namely, trying to solve every problem with violence, and refusing to try out anything except D&D.
That's also a reason CoC is my preference for that sort of thing. Firearms aren't that good against eldritch horrors, but CoC is also clearly specific enough that someone isn't going to try to run Star Wars with it.

Nope!
Don't worry, new players won't care about the system, as long as they can understand what's going on.

You're so right anon.
Playing D&D is totally like eating human feces.
Thank goodness you're here, to give us such a rational and balanced take.

A non-insignificant amount of people learn much better by experiencing it than just reading. Some people even have trouble learning from single page rulesets so just do what >>97206133 said and either make level 1 characters or use the pre-gens that most systems will give you and run a handholdy oneshot where you teach your players the basics and see if they like it. You can do that with literally any system and if the players end up liking it then even the most dyslexic fuck will do anything to learn more than the basics.
