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?

>>98635485Brennan Lee Mulligan is a retard, a funny retard I'll admit, but a brainless dipshit. In this case he's also just feeding into memes (literal memes, not image macros) about D&D in the 5e community. Old editions are hard, they're for chuds, something something Gygax father of the game, it's just mythologizing.Also, THAC0 isn't even really in OSR games. It's only used in one book as part of an abbreviated listing of monster stat blocks. The oldschool editions use to-hit matrices that you literally just look up the required throw on.
Any tips for running an OSR session 0?>inb4 some faggot confusing session 0 for trigger warning lists and character backstories
>>98635552Yeah, don't. Generating characters takes literally 5-10 minutes and nobody should be wasting any time on backstory. Just get them into the dungeon right off the bat.
>>98635557Yea nigga if you're running for a new group you should probably tell them not to waste any time on backstory. The purpose of session 0 is telling them what kind of game to expect at your table.
>>98635569don't pay attention to that anon, he is a certified idiotalso if you are going to run for completely new players be prepared to allocate about an hour for generating 2 characters per playerthere will be questions and it will take time

What are some kinky details you can manage to incorporate naturally into your setting? For me is always taking female prisoners of war for myself (but never hurting them, I'm not a psycho)

>>98588464A scold's bridle was a humiliation device used to gag women for being mouthy bitches. You can use this fact as an excuse to have a ballgag (which pretty much is a bridle) in your world.

So they got rid of racial abilities and half-races? Why?
>>98623903Because they hate you, and me, and any of their actual playerbase.>>98623916It's both. Half-elves have been one of the most popular races forever, despite being kinda mushy lorewise. But it was absolutely done as a culture war attack. Remember, RESPONDING to a culture war attack is always good. Calling people out for defending themselves is always bad. The guys with the power are the ones waging the culture war against us; it's always morally correct to call them out for it.>>98623961Orcs are a disgusting beast-race that hates goodness and order. 90% of half-orcs are functionally just orcs, and only the top 10% can operate in human society. This was the stated assumption about the race before, and it wasn't so much lore as it was what orcs were. Similar with elves and dwarves, really. By changing this- especially by uplifting orcs to be just Mexicans with tusks for some reason- they are totally fucking up orcs and ALSO implying that if you run the orcs as described you're some kind of bad person. It's just trash.
>>98631546(continued)>>98623966Based, this makes shitbirds cope, seethe, and dilate.>>98625155Based. Always point this out. Never let them get away with the pretense that pushing back against a massively powerful political op that has captured institutions and is so petty that they have to infest fucking tabletop gaming is somehow bad. >>98625212I'm so glad posters like you post, anon.
>>98631548(continued)>>98625583Tieflings are implied to be only fractionally descended these days. Cambions are human parent and fiend parent though, but because they have wings and a cool laser beam they normally aren't playable.>>98626214I mean you can just say no to "can I create a new race out of nothing", and one sentence was good enough to say no otherwise. The existence of certain half-races never implied that everyone could crossbreed, after all.>>98629380ASIs were moved to backgrounds for political reasons. It's not a "better mechanical option".
>>98625405Learn to read, moron.
>>98623903According to google, World of Warcraft itself got rid of racial adjustments a bit earlier because part of the playerbase felt cucked out of playing certain classes at their full potential because they had picked the wrong race for it. So D&D might have followed suit, aside from average obvious gay woke shit, instead of just keeping it an optional rule sidebar like sane game design would dictate.Either way or both it's bullshit, but why would you expect something less stupid in the CURRENT YEAR?
I don't think we hate 4e enoughI don't think we praise 4e enoughI'm frustrated because 4e is a mixture of good designs (Warlord is a kino class, Fighters can actually stop attacks, Dragonborn is a PHB race, Tieflings were edgy punks instead of cosmopolitan Californians, is fun if you have the time to play physical Fire Emblem) and absolute dogshit designs (if you aren't running Defender/Leader/Striker/Controller then you are actively playing the game wrong and are getting punished for it, everything is gamified into skill challenges while gutting out the actual fun of simulation gaming, is unfun if you don't have the time to set up a map and minis and are trying to vibe combat)
>>98634152How does it suck? Or are you such a lazy faggot that you'll just vague excuse because you've never actually played it like >>98633306 and just repeat incorrect stuff you've read on Reddit?
>>98630928>we could have some decent 4e conversationThe only thing that happens in these thread is the usual delusional lies on how the game was great, went great, conspiracies made it fail etc, and the butthurt comparison with better D&D (OGL and OSR).There is nothing else because 4e has nothing to offer.>>98632601>You can't shout back on an armYeah, people hate dissociated mechanics. 4e is utter garbage.
>>98634512Literally no such thing as a "dissociated mechanic" because all mechanics have to rely on a level of "suspension of disbelief". Also, name a monster attack or spell or anything in 4e that has the statement that the target loses a limb and, therefore, Inspiring Word would not work on?
I'm actually playing a 4E campaign right now. It's my first time playing it, but there are some old heads that have played everything back to 1e at the table. It's honestly pretty easy to actually sit at the table and play. I like my cards. The 4e character builder app thing sucks ass though. Everytime we get to a new tier our Artificer plays a crafting mini game with the GM for three hours. I don't want to search ten books to find the most optimal magic item for my Build. Make my sword +3, I guess give whatever you think is best, and let's get going. Maybe if we did a critical role style shopping episode it'd genuinely be better? I can't believe how many times the Artificer forgets the items' names. You told them to us 30 minutes ago. You've been studying them for three weeks. Why would my memory be better than your's? Write shit down if you insist on doing this mini-game every single time!
>>985179884e was a shit game, a manual MMO (something that is canonically admitted to be true, don't try to argue this any more). But it had Fell's Five, which was the last actually good D&D narrative product released unless you liked the movie.
This is some GW tier pricing
>>98634917The pricing is fine in Europe.
>>98635279>EUR30 for 5 dudes>fineIt's still worse than GW.
>>98635279M8 are you on something? That's an abysmal pricing for Europe. 6€ per single plastic mini is actually worse pricing than gw and a complete ripoff.
Shame that this project will die before the Church of the Metamorphosis get expanded on. Maybe that's for the better
>>98634917The Necromunda models are also 1.) Much higher and more reliable in quality2.) Far less generic/far more sovlfulTC really is just a grift for idiots, it's kinda amazing.
When are Leagues of Votann going to be Squatted again? Im sick of seeing their garbage aesthetics, garbage looks, and power crept rules in my games. Votann players are the worst, all three of them, and I hope their entire army goes to legends.
>>98635575They think it doesn't count as gay if it's violent rape.
>>98635641isn't all gay sex just reenactment of the trauma of getting raped in childhood?
>>98635648No.
>>98635641They're wrong. And they have AIDS.>>98629116Tau fans hate that a human faction can be "reasonable" and have reliable tech that shoots good.
>>98635648No, just most of it.
So you've forge the legendary object of power that will allow you to reign supreme, or perhaps end the evil reign of the evil tyrannical God-King. But then a legendary thief stole the amulet while you slept, or the crown slipped from your head, or the weapon was disarmed leaving you vulnerable, or you strode out on the battlefield & your finger got cut off & the ring with it...Lets talk about how to hold on to the magic power item in a smart way. The object can be an shape but needs to be of smallish size & made of any reasonable medieval/widely accepted fantasy material (like mithral)You cant swallow it, you cant shove it up your ass, you cant let anyone else know about it, how do you secure it to your body, & also never loose it to circumstance, theft, or amputation of extremities?No D&D specific answers.
>>98629243>Dentistry was actually pretty horrific until recentlyI am aware of this still, transmuting your tooth to gold or whatever is probably way fucking easier than anything you are suggesting as well
>>98609380A ring is probably the best way to do it. Just wear it beneath the gauntlet
Just wear a piece of jewelry, but don't be such a dick that armies want to deprive you of its power
>>98609667I like the idea that the hero party gets beaten into retreat, comes back a few days later and is all confused because there is a different dark lord now, who is like>Oh, you mean Horvath, Augur of the Bloodfield? He only works on Tuesdays. and consequently giving up a upon learning there are like eight of them and a compliance department full of demon generals, and the real dark lord only comes in once a year for the big meeting if at all.
>>98609380Make it a torc. If your fucking head gets cut off, you were probably going to be inconvenienced long enough for someone to steal your macguffin wherever you crammed it.Otherwise you gotta trust Orc MD to do some sort of surgery and slip a magic ring around a floating rib.
>*exploits loopholes to fight against evil*Isn't that pretty underhanded for a supposed paladin? Is it lawful good to follow the letter of the law/oath but not the spirit?
>>98632526If they didn't, they wouldn't tolerate you
>>98631450>Isn't that pretty underhanded for a supposed paladin?Paladins are not stupid. They are allowed to be strategic in their choices and actions, which may very well involve lawyering when the situation calls for it.>Is it lawful good to follow the letter of the law/oath but not the spirit?Depends on the law, because laws can be good or bad, ordered or arbitrary. Lawful does not mean adherence to mundane laws for their own sake, but a principled and ordered framework for life and approach to thought and action, and in this case tempered by Good.>>98631475>>98634211>>98631503>>98631522The topic concerns Lawful Good, not Lawful Evil. Judaism is definitely Lawful, but by alignment metrics one would be exceptionally hard-pressed to redefine it as even Neutral. This is likely part of why Jews kvetch so much over the alignment system or fail to grasp it despite how fucking simple it is.
>>98631562They absolutely apply to a Lawful Good character. Alignment is descriptive, not prescriptive. Most Lawful Good characters will follow the laws even when they do not serve good. A paladin, however, in pursuit of exemplifying the ideal, will likely not want to, however, and it is perfectly within his rights to act against it without risking loss of alignment.
>>98631669No he just force himself upon the horse.We seen him kill all the time. Hell, he just killed that harpy/giant bird with a pillow.... I mean put to sleep
>>98634809> Hell, he just killed that harpy/giant bird with a pillow.... I mean put to sleepNo confirmed kill - and this is important. Nobody in S1 we thought he had killed was actually killed, as revealed in the season finale when everybody was alive thanks to the immortality elixir. Why would he go out of his way to put said immortaliy elixir onto his blade in the Onigiri episode to prevent actual death?
Do dragons exist in 40k? The Cathay dragons being able to shapeshift into people makes me wonder if during the war in heaven if their were non exodite shapeshifting dragon people. Dragons Ogres kinda exist as zoats
>>98632091I suggest you go for a Vampyr instead.
>>98631944Mica-dragons from the same planet as Ambulls.Mica-dragons are probably 40k's equivalent of Sandworms. They're only draconic in a vague symbolic sense.
>>98632136I know they exist, space wolves ran into some that tried to eat them after a drunken party/feast I didn't know if there was some 2nd edition or third 40k old lore to justify dragons
>>98632149In more recent fluff Fenriz is vagely suggested to be a former Maiden World so if that's true, then you're probably dealing with something closer to Exodite dragons, aka fantasy dinosaurs.
>>98631575Why's the green one making jazz hands?
Been rebuilding an old wargame I made around 2016 called DeadDrop, and I finally have the 2.0 Alpha ready for other people to playtest.The original idea was basically poor man’s 40k: a wargame you can play with normal d6s, a ruler or hex grid, and literally anything as models. Coins, checkers, bottle caps, toys, actual minis, whatever.The new version uses fistfuls of d6s.Melee: roll dice equal to the lower of Speed or Strength.Shooting: roll dice equal to the lower of Speed or Technology.4+ = Hit.Defender rolls Durability dice; 4+ = Block.Factions are deliberately asymmetric and have extreme statlines. There are 9:Humans, Machines, Aliens, Parasites, Insects, Reptiles, Hellspawn, Heretics, and Beyonders.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>98620239How is the magic police state campaign with the barbarian diplomat going?
>>98635220It's going well.So there were these holy plants that make objects levitate and one specific noble house can grow them into functional objects. There is a red variant that is extremely volatile but said noble house still procures it through the black market. Their newest shipment went through our territory without them notifying us despite us being allied houses. The shipment was robbed and it created a political scandal because multiple parties were involved, including us for various reasons. There are tons of details but in short, the guys who robbed it lead us to some kind of cult that does forbidden magic that recruits and brainwashes orphans and turns them into a warlock kamikaze. We basically were able to deal with it and keep the scandal contained. This gave us favor from some parties and angered some others.Right now we're on a great hunt for some semi-mythical creature. The hunt itself is not as important as all the nobles coming to the hunt so it's a big opportunity to rip the rewards for the whole fuckup. Last session we were able to secure an estate of dubious profit (but still an estate with plenty land) from the house that venerates the holy plant and we were threatened by house above us for crossing into their territory to deal with the cult. Right now we're trying to figure out how to spin this into them being incompetent so we can get even more gains and somehow not get fucked because they are still a big house and can wipe the floor with us.
>>98635251Nice color Penny! I might have missed penny3. I wonder if she and the other PC's backups get to do some fun stuff in the background.Sounds like pretty action packed sessions, kamikaze warlocks sound particularly dangerous for a PC.Warlocks does mean gods or spirits that would grant magic I presume. Could be handy as a good source of forbidden magic, minus the blowing yourself up part. Was their goal anything in particular or just cause damage? What kind of god? Any survivors, maybe an orphan buddy for Penny lol.I guess if I had that kind of scenario, first thing its their duty to the central authority; in suppressing forbidden magic, in the security of their domain. Failing in that allowed kamikaze warlock pirates to make a nest there. Failing to punish them as well.It does seem strange they could get their hands on so many orphans unless they are just super common. Maybe the local nobles were in on it the whole time using their own supported orphanages to traffic them to the cult. Allowing some cult to do their business and reaping some kind of reward. Forbidden magic, plunder, attacks on political rivals.Sounds like a solid campaign, I'd enjoy any other details.
>>98635317>Warlocks does mean gods or spirits that would grant magic I presume>Could be handy as a good source of forbidden magic, minus the blowing yourself up part. What kind of god? The magic system and the pantheon is very autistic but to somewhat put it somewhat short. There are three magic systems if I remember correctly (I try not to which is one of the reasons I picked a barbarian (I also don't like playing casters)). First one is a kind of fundamental, ancient magic that everyone can use. Warlocks tap into this raw power. It is allowed but discouraged because it's practically limitless and people dabbling in this is in 99% harmless but that 1% can make you go Heroshima in a very bad place. Second kind is what I understood is high magic. High magic is employed by the magic gestapo and the shining city in the sky that rules over us all. It is extremely powerful magic that can control time, alter continents, open portals to planes...advanced stuff like that. Third type is so-called "derived" magic. It's a magical system curated and developed for everyday people. It is your mage hand, fireball, healing touch...stuff like that.>Any survivorsTheir cultists wear gags that trigger and crush their necks when they lose consciousness. We caught one alive though. Interrogation and waterboarding will commence as soon as we return from the hunt.>Was their goal anything in particular or just cause damage?They are worshipping some shard of a fallen god. In isolation, we as a house don't really care about their child snatching and cult behavior as it's not really our jurisdiction or are we a big house who has the resources to work on that. The problem is how did they get info on the shipment and why did they choose to intercept it in our domain. They also fucked with the infrastructure of the Shinning City that rules above us all and that is a HUGE no-no. Whole countries can be glassed for that alone.>PennyPenny is currently busy being sleep deprived
>>98635394Ahh right the in setting magic system. Hard to beat barbarian. The shard of some fallen god sounds neat.Gags that kill them sounds pretty well organized for a kamikaze cult. I imagine they can't sleep with them on lol. The shipment info huh. Well I suppose they must either have a connection to your allied house that didn't notify you, or to the black market involved in the area. Or they have a friend with lots of spies, like a big house.The allied house wouldn't want their shipment stolen and all that attention. The black market wouldn't want to raid their own shipment and get attention. Maybe a big house looking for opportunity to take land from a shamed house would? Who else could really stand to gain, have the resources and connections.If the gang hadn't managed to clean up the mess I suppose all blame would have fallen on you, the allied house, and whatever black market people the authorities could grab. Considering continents could get blown up for this kind of offense I'd imagine the destruction of a house or two would be considered lenient lol. Then a big house moves right in since their higher status makes them inherently more trustworthy. Maybe they would have even "caught" the perps themselves with no survivors.Poor Penny. She deserves a reward!

>>98635104Challenge accepted.
>>98614305Question for people in the thread: Why did the EU seriously flanderize the Empire and especially early on during the D6 era? I mean you had them literally going "dark greetings", every Imperial is corrupt, the Empire only seizes spice mining operations so THEY can sell drugs, they shoot civvies for no reason, they enslave some species which have no benefit being enslaved, etc etcI get the Empire is the bad guys and do bad shit but you know, Nazi Germany and the USSR weren't selling drugs to their people and Nixonian America wasn't going around shooting innocent civvies afaik so it seems like the EU set out to make the Empire purposefully so evil that you wonder how it convinced the galaxy to stay as it was and why Palpatine threw away his good repAlso there isn't a SINGLE Imperial official who is competent and not corrupt and believes in the system? Seriously?
>>98635535>Also there isn't a SINGLE Imperial official who is competent and not corrupt and believes in the system? Seriously?Obviously the stories are going to focus on the corrupt ones.Good Imperial officials are going to be pretty reasonable and can avoid the Wars part in their Star, so they aren't going to get focus
>>98635543I mean sure, but even then we barely get any of those in passing mentionsThere is a lot of insanely retarded "Empire is evil for the sake of being evil" bullshit. They enslave Kashyyyk (which I mean somewhat logical for the DS production even though I think it makes more sense for humans and droids to be more prevalent, but realistically I think the Empire would kidnap Wookiees rather than enslave the whole planet) but then they let Trandoshans hunt Wookiees and become nuisances galactically rather than suppressing their dangerous predatory nature which is more threatening galactically than anything the Wookiees can do because...? Let's not even get into the warlords that torture and starve their own loyal populaces because idk they're super evil monsters who don't even care about their rule and are just all sadistic because they just areI think Zahn was the only one to ever portray Imperial officials that weren't pure evil and were competent like Thrawn or Pellaeon and even then there are parts of the community where he gets insane hate from radical commies who can't tolerate fictional governments, a few days ago I saw a video from that Corey guy who made EaWX seething that "OMG PELLAEON IS STILL HECKIN' EVIL CHUDDIES, HE'S A NOOOTTSSSEEEEE!11!" I wanted to punch him in the mouth for sounding like such a soiboy faggot nigger
>>98632315You take thin cosmetic tissues, cut them to the rough shape, drench them in white glue / wood glue / craft glue, apply, shape, let them dry, and cut to final shape. You can use bent open paperclips as understructure if you want them blowing in the wind.
