Long time MtG player (17 years?) and with what's happening to the game rn, i don't really have much interest in any of the new sets. Sorcery looks like it could maybe scratch that itch. The art is fantastic and reminds me of legacy MtG art. Anybody here play?I watched a few overview vids, but I'm curious how the actual gameplay goes. For someone who plays mostly EDH, are there any similarities? Is it usually a 2 player match?How long are the matches usually?Is it as much of a money pit as MtG?Convinced a few of my MtG friends to give it a shot based off of the art alone. Just need an idea of what I'm up against in terms of learning curve.

Which D&D canon setting do you like most? Which one would you like to try out? >Blackmoor? More like, Blackwhore!>Greyhawk? More like, Gayhawk! >Mystara? More like, Fagstara!>The Conan universe? More like, the colonoscophy universe! >Dragonlance? Not worth giving a chance!\>Forgotten Realms? More like, forgettable realms!>Spelljammer? More like, go-to-Hell jammer!>Dark sun? More like, No Fun!>Al-Qadim? More like, All-Cocks-In-Him!>Planescape? I'd rather plan an escape!>Eberron? I like it, the creator is a creep though>Ravnica? More like, Ravnigga!>Exandria? More like, Retardia!>Theros? More like, Lameos!
>>97805205Birthright is my favorite D&D setting.
>>97808733>i always liked the idea of Spelljammer when not played as silly pirate adventure with haha space zombie clowns and haha slime people and haha fat hippo people with guns, but actually played straight and takes itself serious as a kind of Mass Effect in fantasy dressing.Same. It also tends to work better when it is used as it's own setting rather than as a way to connect Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk or import the Star Frontiers stuff to D&D. >>97809664>I personally reall like how gonzo it goes. I got inerested in it after finding out it includes mechs (sticking a ship helm in the corpse of a giant insect race) and kamen riders (a gem that mutates you into a supersoldier with light mind control you have to control when you transform, more guyver than kr but the difference is small).Yeah, the "gonzo" is really important to get across the idea that it is "space fantasy" rather than Star Wars style sci-fantasy. Spelljammer is a setting that would definitely benefit from a ground up remake that would allow for the inclusion of ideas that came out after it was originally released. A few ideas that I have thought of including in a Spelljammer setting:>A culture whose ships are helmed by dryads. (based on the space trees in Tenchi Muyo!)>A culture of (possibly not!Victorian) warforged whose spelljammers are basically giant transforming robots that they directly interface with>Eberron's Inspired being a Mindflayer servant caste created to man the serial helmsComment too long.

>>97805205My favorite setting is:>Planescape? I'd rather plan an escape!...through a portal, right? Greyhawk is nice old-school comfy fantasy. Forgotten Realms I 'member mostly from video game nostalgia. Eberron is a cool magicpunk setting with great worldbuilding.
>>97805205Ravenloft has always had a special place in my heart, followed closely by Dark Sun and Eberron.

Simple rule to improve and balance wizards in OSR games: they can only memorize one casting of a given spell per day. You have 3 third level slots? You can cast one Fireball, not 2 or 3. Don't know any other 3rd level spells? Better go find some spellbooks. Hope you make your % chance to learn spell rolls (I won't bother addressing faggots who let wizards automatically learn new spells). God forbid you have to get more creative with your casting.
>>97816014>Now do the same in SW>[epic clever battle sequence that lets them add up to kill the enemy golem]I wish it worked that way, but unfortunately what happens instead is, someone with a hypertuned damage build rushes the golem in melee screaming and gets 5 aces and kills the golem with like 40 damage while the rest of the table laughs hysterically.I really wish it worked like that though. I can't remember the last time my Savage Worlds group actually used the trick fighting or test of wills rules. All they do is Wild Attack because it's objectively the best option to get 2 bonuses for 1 downside and usually their Parry is so high that even if they do Wild Attack the penalty doesn't actually affect them.
>>97818103Well i do also think that the optional rule for wounds cap should not be "optional" but what you're describing is also hyperoptimized builds, no rulesystem holds well to the scrutiny of a buildfag, even supposed strict games like d&d 4e get trivialized that way.
>>97797279I'm not gonna play D&D. And I'm definitely not gonna play D&D with you, anon.Not all of my ideas turn to have been good, but the ones which were good, I have had no difficulty finding people to play them with me.Full stop.
>>97814792It's part of the preparation and planning. Some OSR has more of a 5e preparation - doesn't break the game, but it kinda breaks the feel imho.
>>97814942>No point playing a magic-user thenyoud probably piss your pants trying to play 1e> Otherwise, you learn spells on level up which is actually balanced"Its like this, except not!"Free spell in level up is dogshit hand-holding and not "balanced">This is retarded.No, you just want to be a welfare wizard>That's terrible game designno, thats a player skill issue.>I don't know or care what this is, but that sounds utterly retarded.Yeah, basically your whole posts amounts to "I'm ignorant and stupid, so what?">>97815629cry, fishfag>>97816847Comment too long.

Why do OSR boomers act like their shitty rollslop is good? It's unplayable and boring. Every edition is better than the last, so they are willingly choosing to play a bad edition. Wtf?Pic related, a shitty OSR dungeon
>>97814680Lol, no. Everybody with any understanding of the game knows that UA is in large part not very good, and DSG and WSG are mostly garbage. There's a reason we talk about first decade D&D, and it's the the quality of books dropped drastically after 1983ish.
>>97816086I thought it was because you're a giant faggot and you need to perform mental gymnastics to try and figure out how to try and steer your little slice of the OSR ship into fag town.
>>97814481The OSR community is full of elitist boomers or insufferable NuSR hippies HOWEVERThe games, speaking for the OSR side in my experience, are good and have an overall good mentality behind it. There are game designers that I personally absolutely despise that still contributed to good shit I occasionally pilfer.
I came into this thread to talk shit about OSR but then I went through a bunch of my old content and realized that the campaigns in which I leaned into the OSR thing were the best campaigns I've run
>>97810915>they basically colonized /osrg/ to make it forcibly a no-2e zonegood! thats our land now, redman!>No wonder nobody pays attention to them and their inane definitions of OSR outside /tg/ we dont givre flying fuck about the opinions of rpgnet or reddit, fishfag
Now that the dust has settled, is it the D&D killer it was hyped up to be?
>>97820448The only D&D killer is convincing your group to play a better game. Just like MTG and 40k, or even Disney products, D&D is for the shallowest normies who never look any deeper into the hobby then the cumstains of matt mercerIt is a slop game for slop eaters
>>97820470What is with you and your trolling.Did something happen to you? Get dumped or cucked or something?Your usual trolling is annoying, but lately you've really decided to just become pathetic.

What are your preferences for how elemental spells, abilities, and/or beings/creatures are handled in your games and/or settings? How would you advise someone on the best way to create an original elemental system for a game and/or setting in general, both mechanically and/or narratively? And after the stock answer of Avatar and its RPGs, what's worth looking at for ideas/inspiration? If you have any great elemental images that's fine too!
>>97796844>Do you have any specific recommendations please?NOTake up Bodhidharma's advice and DO IT YOURSELF FCK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU

Well its April 1st again. I return first of all to remember one of /tg/'s finest works: Dungeons the Dragoning 40,000 7th edition. Last year I gave the game a revision, stapling both books together so it could rival a phonebook.This year I have more DtD news: 8th edition is on the way. If you want to try out 7th edition before then though the book is in the same spot as always: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1HTYsfwiIWlGg4UZb5Bi32PYgTxKHUIp8There's also links to a place where you can wait for updates on a playtest. Otherwise, I'll just drop it all in the folder when its done. Happy April Fools.
Hell yeah, this game has been my autistic obsession since like 2017, happy to see it getting updates
>>97817778That's some good cover at. Might I suggest giving the lady of pain the VtM rose?
THANK YOU! I printed a copy of 6.66th edition :)
Happy April fools man.
what are the 8th edition changes like? is the melee vs caster balance fixed so that custom combat manuvers don't shit all over combat?
Alright, y'all, how'd I fuck this one up?
>>97820441Top right are the heretic legion (Death Guard) the others are all (mostly) loyalists.
>>97820468Thank you. I mistook the one I picked for the Hyrule symbol from The Legend of Zelda.
>>97820477Wait, you were serious? I thought it was a joke about the Dark Angels' shaky loyalties.
I have not gotten one single April Fools captcha all day.
>>97820491I thought I was doing pretty well to recognize that the others were WH40K as someone who's never played. Legit funny that my mistake could be taken as an esoteric lore in-joke, though.
How hard is it to create an interesting campaign without backstory? After reading the classic Sword and sorcery stories, I wanted to do something that didn't rely on backstory and was completely focused on the present. But how do you make it interesting?
>>97817742Don't make the story too flat and boring. Alternatively, know your group and run the kind of game you have in mind for people who'd be interested in it. I don't know what kind of an answer beyond "have interesting shit in it" are you looking for here. That's all there is to it. If you can't think of interesting shit that doesn't depend of backstory established beforehand, you probably shouldn't run a game without backstory. If you can think of interesting shit, why do you think your players would find it boring?
>>97817618Make interesting places for the players to explore. Make interesting characters for the players to interact with and talk to. Make interesting monsters/combat encounters to fight. Give the players room to fill out their own characters. Leave gaps and let the players fill them. the story will emerge on it's own.
>>97817742>someoneSure thing, but there was no indication of who OP is trying to interest, so I had no choice but to answer in terms of my own interests.I can get by without story in a game, I just need the game to be good. But the vocal majority of faggots on this board need daddy to tuck them in before they can throw their dice, and they generally prefer a more /qst/like "structure".So, the answer to OP's retarded question depends on who he's trying to interest.
>>97817835>in medias res is a thing you know>>97817673>Have interesting things happen and interesting characters be present.So between these two comments, there just isn't anything else that needs to be in this thread and I don't fucking understand how the OP managed to think it was a good idea to make this thread anyway. A thread died for this shit. Where are the fucking jannies?
>>97817618>After reading the classic Sword and sorcery storiesBut a good chunk of classic sword and sorcery stories are contingent on stuff that happened in the past rearing its head in the present.
