I would like to talk about the Chronicles of Darkness game line Deviant: The Renegades, or more specifically, one major upcoming supplement. Deviant was released in late 2021, and has had three additional sourcebooks since then. A new supplement, Black Vans, has been in playtesting for a while, and is currently being previewed.I am not being paid or sponsored to promote this book in any way. I am just very fascinated by it, and indeed, I already ran a mini-campaign using the playtest material.Deviant is, by default, a game about playing angsty, scarred superheroes who either fight world-manipulating conspiracies or work for them. Black Vans is a toolkit full of variant rules, quick NPC creation, variant character types, and variant genres. These variants range from the minor to the dramatic, completely overhauling what were once non-negotiable, foundational themes and mechanics. Maybe your character is not angsty or scarred at all, perhaps they are a """""regular human""""" like John Wick or Batman, or the campaign might have nothing to do with world-manipulating conspiracies.These variant genres include cyberpunk, high fantasy, post-apocalypse, space opera, and superhero emergence.This is a beefy supplement. For example, one chapter alone dedicates 38,000+ words to playing other monsters of the Chronicles of Darkness: Beasts, changelings, demons, Sin-Eaters, hunters (entirely separate from the variant rules for """natural""" superpowers), mages, mummies, Prometheans, vampires, and werewolves. No additional supplements beyond Deviant are necessary; the rules are self-contained, allowing the group to play a monster mash of an urban fantasy setting without needing a daunting 7+ books. And yes, they are supposed to be balanced against one another, so a vampire in the same group as a full-fledged mage is probably some older Kindred.(Continued.)
>>97284076>>97284091Deviant: The Renegades is a little looser than even that.The vast, vast bulk of powers are universal, not Clade-specific. Furthermore, the only limitation on cross-Clade powers is that no more than half of your total dots of powers can be cross-Clade.For example, if you are playing a Cephalist, then you could have half of your total dots come from [Chimeric/Coactive/Invasive/Mutant] powers, but no more than that.That is it. They do not cost extra or anything. And again, most powers are universal. If that still is not good enough for you, there is the Transitional Form from Shallow Graves, which is specifically set up to enable even more mixing and matching of Clades.
>>97284201As a caveat, there is a small handful of unique, exclusive powers for each Clade, called "Adaptations." But even this is not a hard rule; Shallow Graves offers ways to pick up Adaptations cross-Clade.Alternatively, Black Vans' high fantasy genre lets you simply ignore Clades altogether and just pick whatever you want for your character, all very build-a-bear.
Looks cool but having to keep track of everyone's conspiracy and keystones seems pretty cumbersome
>>97286169The core rulebook specifically suggests having everyone tied to the same starting conspiracy. This is why there is a rule for upgrading a conspiracy based on how many Renegade PCs oppose it. The Devoted Companion suggests much the same for Devoted PC games.If conspiracies still are not your thing, Black Vans offers options for removing conspiracies in favor of other antagonistic plot devices. The high fantasy, post-apocalypse, and superhero emergence genres are good examples of this.Touchstones can be a lot to keep track of, true. Shallow Graves and Black Vans both offer advice on this. If this still is not good enough, Black Vans gives options for removing Touchstones in favor of more conventional motivations, like Virtues, Vices, and three Aspirations.
>>97286712the conspiracies are a graph of connected people you need to take down?

I'm at my wits end with the saturn 3 I have, will not stay level after screws tighten no matter what I do. I tried fdm printing a whole frame to keep it still in spite of it but it still manages to completely tweak itself out of alignment.The saturn 4 ultra looks good but I am drawn by the photon p1 for how easy it looks like to switch screens.

>>97286918So the frame pieces is at least 18x18 cm, so FDM is the better choice. It looks simple enough that a bambu machine is not necessary, cheaper machines will print something like that just fine.Any newish printer from a reliable company like elegoos neptune 4 will do fine, or if you want to choose bambu a a1 would be enough.Bambu is like apple,good quality, pricey for what it is but they put in extra work to have an easy to use closed eco system.>>97286960...

I am looking for a game that is a mix between HeroQuest and Battletech. In that it is a duel type game rather than a dungeon crawler, movement is hex based, there are items and objects you can pick up and interact with, and there are fixed action points per character deployed, and each action a character takes costs action points. Is there anything you would personally recommend that sounds like this, or do I have to homebrew such a system myself?
>>97286252Are you looking for a specific existing game, or asking if there is a game that satisfies your highly specific criteria?If it's the former, I unironically recommend searching by mechanics on BGG. As shitty as the site has became, the search is still great.
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. And as we enter this happiest and newest of years, remember: 2e was never an old-school game, bait is for reporting, and fish is for smoking! Happy new year, grogs! 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?

>>97286631>>97286698>HyperboreaI guess it's fine if you like it, but suggesting Hyperborea to someone who's asking about AD&D is misleading at best.
>>97286902No it isn't. Hyperborea is basically the core of AD&D but without a nonsense Gygax initiative system.
>>97283784>trying to steal it to make AD&D 2e on-topic2e was on topic in the original osrg threads, trying to exclude 2e makes this a usurper thread but keep on lying to yourself and the others.
>>97286902>>97286698 (me)Hyperborea definitely shares the bones but it really is its own thing. I actually quite enjoy segmented combat, so it's something I'd likely houserule back into Hyperborea.
>>97286902NAYRT but IMO it makes perfect sense. You can agree that OSRIC is the most faithful AD&D retroclone and still think Hyperborea is the *better* AD&D retroclone. LotFP occupied a very similar niche relative to B/X pre-OSE: I don't think anybody would have argued it was more faithful than Labyrinth Lord. People just liked it better.

>>97285768The wound on his back ignited a surge of primal, animalistic rage within the Howler, causing him to completely ignore the strange voice in his head. He charged directly at the creature that had injured him, intent on chopping, ripping, and tearing it apart.His underlings, though already weary, maintained their discipline and formed up to engage the approaching force of bizarre, humanoid beasts. These were no mere ragtag highwaymen, united only by common colors and a shared paymaster, like those they might have faced before. Moreover, no one knew how many ranged fighters those dogs of war still had hidden in the surrounding woods.Don't forget that Howler is a werewolf because of his curse, so this might make him resist Skogs' attempts to control him.
How would adding a female only paladin order improve your setting?

If you could choose the set of core classes (in the PHB/core book and ideally the rest of the classes are designed around them) what would you choose?They don't have to be identical to their current incarnations.For me its,>Ranger,absorbs a lot of the fighter but keeps the independent survivalist schtick.>Paladin, Divine warrior with special abilities but no spells>Rogue,Sneaky stabby martial, basically as he is now>Wizard,>Druid,>Cleric,Default to being lightly armoured wandering friar tuck type character, but with options to put on some armour and bonk.

>>97279286What is the difference meaningfully between Monk 'wuxia' behaviour, fighter enhanced ability scores and rogue skills?It's mostly the monk I'm, and what you mean by wargame abilities on the fighter, that I'm struggling to understand.
>>97285758>What is the difference meaningfully between Monk 'wuxia' behaviour, fighter enhanced ability scores and rogue skills?Lists of increasingly-wonky techniques on the Monk versus throwing big numbers into "default" rules until things get wonky on the Fighter versus using an actual skill subsystem that bundles functions into areas of proficiency that get wonky when you're That Good with the Rogue."Weaboo Fightan Magic" is an old pejorative for the Tome of Battle supplement for 3.5, back-porting a later-abandoned 4e prototype into a subsystem with classes substituting for the Fighter, Monk, and Paladin. It has stuff like covering your sword with a jet of flames for extra damage and reach at 3rd level, generally once per encounter due to the refresh mechanics but being 3.5 there are naturally shenanigans to loop.>and what you mean by wargame abilities on the fighterBefore WotC got the IP, it was expected that higher-level characters eventually got positions of political power lording over increasing numbers of class-appropriate NPCs, which grounded the scope-creep of enemies surmounted in actual setting influence which in turn compensated for the proactive value of spellcasting by letting the Fighter send dudes to get things done in a number of places simultaneously because the casters became bosses of a lot less dudes. In the earliest versions, this directly cited the wargame preceding D&D called Chainmail for resolving combats with dozens to hundreds of participants.

yeah i think instead of doing prep for my game on saturday im going to work on my unrelated homebrew instead.
even if somehow using the physical stat was better mathematically than using the mental stat, it would still be stupid. It's not about balance, but about a system that models things in a consistent way

>>97286213>Bladesinger can't use two-handed weapons with bladesong, so there's little to no reason to not simply use a Rapier or other Dex options.NTA, but would you really want to swing around your weapon in melee unless you're in Bladesong to begin with? 5.24e Bladesinger heavily incentivizes you to max your INT ASAP and have at least a 16 DEX for passive AC. You can use a Longsword or Battleaxe or Warhammer, no problem, while in Bladeson,g and that's when you'd want to use it anyway.
