>But where does it say in B/X that you can't move and attack at the same time?
I've rechecked the rules and I was incorrect, picrel.

>>96251561
>the rules never explicitly state that moving and attacking are disallowed.
They actually explicitly say that it is ALLOWED, picrel.

While I was double checking, I've remembered why I decided to use the AD&D rule even with B/X and then proceeded to forget I had houseruled it in the first place: Without it, the B/X definition of "charge" is quite unsatisfactory for me at least: Only a couple specific monsters can deal double damage while charging, which in turn makes the ability to set the spear mostly pointless: practically nobody charges, ever.

The AD&D rule makes the choice between charging and closing meaningful. But it does require the players to make more detailed action declarations, which is not necessarily ideal for beginners.

Apologies, carry on.

>>96251324
if you are doing per turn initiative it should be pretty intuitive, moreso if you have minis, but true i could see problems if the ranges are vague.

Does anyone know where Gygax got the information for Appendix J: Herbs, spices, etc.?

>>96251445
That's pretty standard. Not very creative, sure, but not awful either. Could turn into a personal quest where they track down the bandit group and get justice. Maybe the bandit leader had some unique characteristic or wore strange-looking armor or something, so every time the player goes to a new town, they ask around to see if anyone's seen a warrior with odd attire or an eye patch or something. Then when they finally get their revenge, they get a powerful magic weapon from the bandit leader. And maybe it turns out that those bandits were working for some larger evil, and now the party can hunt them down too.

>>96251332
they don't have big melee damage, and they don't have big damage spells.

you pick a druid knowing this.

>>96250786
Easiest answer? Corruption of a powerful magic item. It channels wizard and druid spells, but if they goop it up with Jubilex juice, maybe they can force it to start channeling some very nasty spells that don't exactly fit the iconic wizard and druid lists. Depending on how long it's been blighted, maybe the cultists caused the blight, in an effort to disable whatever natural defenses the tomb has.

What would be the best spells, magical abilities, features, or technologies in order to de-humidify a small area?

How do I improvise npcs better as a DM? I find I end up floundering if conversations go on for too long.

is Galaxy not tier 1 right now? Got some bum at my scene acting like Galaxy is some rogue deck he cooked hard with when it just auto pilots itself

>>96252309
No it isnt tier 1 to both pure galaxy (which is finally good now) and galaxy engine (still good). You are right though that the deck is easy to play.

what does the rest of your deck looks like? the usual way to make big creatures work is early ramp + removal and just praying you survive long enough to do the thing

It's mainly because rotation just happened and the main people playing standard right now are either people that are running rotation-proof decks with some of their rotated removal swapped out and people trying to find ways to keep playing their pre-rotation archetypes (mainly Overlord and mice/RDW). Once people start actually playing around with the new cards, we'll start seeing some diversity in the format.

Will it last? Depends on how well it handles UR Cauldron and UB midrange. All I can say for sure is that a lot of people seem to be underestimating how good the monogreen cards in this set are. It definitely seems like play design really were trying to push a lot of monogreen aggro cards in this set like they said they were. I'm almost certain we'll eventually start seeing more people with decks running either the 1-mana green Zada or better Springleaf Drum on a robot insect body.

Various tier of ads in your cybereyes. You can buy a subscription to turn them off, but each tier requires its own subscription. This way the manufacturer can get more money from ad companies AND cybereye customers. It requires a constant connection and the default software interprets any loss of signal as an attempt to subvert this revenue enhancement method and disables the eye until a connection is restored.

In the same vein, audio ads for cyberears.

IMPAIRED LINGUISTICS
Bonus: 10 CP (Level 1) or 20 CP (Level 2)
This trait is only available to uplifts. This uplift’s
particular brain structure has difficulty processing
language. At Level 1, the uplift loses some of their
ability to speak, read, and comprehend things spoken
by others when they suffer from stress. Each time the
uplift suffers a trauma, they must make a Language
Test at −10 to speak (both verbal and via mesh
inserts) or comprehend (reading or listening) anything
above the most basic words and information. This test
only needs to be made once for each language, but
for each additional trauma suffered, the test must
be made again, with an additional cumulative −10

Honest answer: Monster of the Week.
>it's one of the better PBTA games ever published
>the premise is easily understandable, since everyone has watched at least one monster of the week type show, like Scooby Doo, Buffy, X-Files, or Supernatural
>the PBTA framework is easy for new players and GMs to understand, since every move has a couple sentences of self-contained rules.
>won't cost you a ton of money or require battle grid and minis and screens and other fucking bullshit (even less if you just find the PDF in the share thread)
>you won't be sunk cost'd into playing D&D for the rest of your RPG playing days like so many other faggots and you might actually develop a taste for the hobby that isn't permanently brain damaged by struggling with D&D's bullshit

>>96251653
seconding this, all the Without Number systems are fantastic

>>96250509
They're simple systems that are a retclone with some extra shit tacked on. So yes: they're easy. But better than being easy is that they have some of the best random generators ever. You can't help but enjoy and craft adventures, as you roll the location generators.

They do have some problems, though. I really don't like their System Strain mechanics. They're unnecessary and cumbersome.

Monster of the week also has pretty good practice, moment to moment "how to actually GM" advice that might be useful for a gm. My issue with something like Mothership or a - without number game is I think they assume you've run a game before, so their actual "how do you GM" advice is a little thin for a newbie.

I've tried running a campaign set in vanilla Elwynn. It was back when 4e was a thing.
The premise was going to be that party was working for Katrana and unknowingly helping her commit dirty deeds.
It fell through in the first 20 minutes of the session 1, when the party Blackguard demanded the reward for the first quest in advance, multiplied by 10 and also the right to commandeer all of the crown's resources in Redridge if necessary.

Katrana told him "no", so he said he's not accepting the job and walked out. The rest of the party didn't really have it in their hearts to play the game without that guy to boss them around, so we ended up just not playing.

In the old Warcraft days, you could tell there was more of a focus on classic fantasy and heavy metal. Nowadays, it's much more Marvel-like, with the focus on multiversal adventures (Shadowlands, space fortresses). Unfortunately, that shit is all over the place these days and completely unappealing.

The WC3 credits would never be done today:

We never had a PC die on my table. Most of us usually play either very paranoid or very aware PCs so deadly situations are mostly avoided but there is a lot of backstabbing.

>>96247467
>against a BBEG with the ability to cause permadeath.
That's the shit right there.
Your soul? Gone.
We are at a moment in the setting's history where planar and resurrection magic, and magic in general to a certain extent, is acting kind of funky.
Most resurrections fail and when one PC died (mine), he went through some shit during the resurrection process, so that's definitely something you can fuck around in the narrative and with homebrew to great effect.

>>96247511
>Most of us usually play either very paranoid
Yeah. I think that's why our DM thought about implementing >>96247372. Sometimes we play like little bitches. Which makes sense for our characters. We have shit to do and there's no point in getting into situations at a disadvantage most of the time.

One thing I really love about 3e is that you can narrow down its splat selection to create very focused D&D experiences that would be hard to do in other edition. I enjoyed the secret society implications of various prestige classes which instantly flavor your setting. This is a lot easier to say now that probably nothing else would be published for it than the d20 boom days tbf.

>>96247724
I mean dnd lends itself to this kind of campaign. Martials cant cause you permadeath, only casters and those tend to be what our forever dm prefers as archenemies, whether it is clerics or wizards or more specifically an organization of them.
I like sandbox stuff a lot and some of my friends do as well (up to a point) but i wouldnt run a hexcrawl in 3.5. I tried and it was a colossal failure

>>96247372
That's always the tradeoff, whether death is a mechanical penalty or a story penalty and it has to be sculpted around what players give a shit about or else it's just a hassle. I've always trended more of the camp of giving a shit about a character because they've managed to survive the meat grinder rather than plotting out at level 1 their grand ambitions and place in the world knowing they'll get there eventually. It's not a book, y'know?

It's fucking nutso that you simps keep calling that a "project" when it's literally just ctrl-z'ing the rules from one edition

What percentage of potential players do you think there are who really want to play 4th edition, but simply cannot bear to use downloaded pdfs (or ebay) and will have their sole barrier removed by this "project"

>>96239307
Well at least people were working on it. I dont think I have convinced a single person to read my homebrew to give me feedback. So something that doesnt need discussing has an appeal.

>>96239307
Oh it's far worse than ctrl-z, they're trying to paraphrase rules and failing due to elementary school level reading comprehension and having never actually played old/middlehammer and not understanding the gaming conventions and design ethos of the time. It's sad to watch, really.

>>96243183
That is literally what a StandardReferenceDocument is you dolt. There are only 2 ways how to write rules. You can either have rules that are good for teaching, long wordy paragraphs that explain a point clearly from multiple angles with example so a reader in a vacuum can understand it without asking for help. And the other way is write terse and brief rules that are easy to parse and reference for double checking purposes for players who already have the context and know how to play, but these rules will lack the context to teach the how and why. You cannot have both without your game being so shrimple you end up with 10th edition.

And also why one page rules doesn’t work because it hinges on the fact the player knows what all this shit means cause he already knows how to play warhammer.

Daily reminder that this AI bullshit is just a distraction from the fact that corporate entities like VISA and Mastercard are ensuing censorship. The discussion of AI is unproductive because it only serves as divide and conquer tactic between bottom feeders like artists and game designers.
