>>97371315There are plenty of companies still releasing brand new metal minis althoughbeit.
>>97371315You can't just keep using molds from the 90's, retard. Problem with pewter isn't sculpting or molds, it's the price of tin shooting up periodically.
>>97371315Alternative armies, GHQ and Eureka are three companies I buy from that are actively producing new metal models. Hell, Eureka is expanding their ranges at a rate that I worry is unsustainable long term (after restraining themselves during covid) but it is clearly a vote of confidence in the medium.

>>97371680The attack action is important for being able to use the bonus action attack from your martial arts feature. Now you can cast a spell and still do your little extra jab
>>97375028I thought of that briefly, too, but this is 2024 monk. Neither the Bonus Unarmed Strike nor Flurry of Blows requires that you take the Attack action on your turn.
>>97373442I've got two magic items upcoming in my campaign that are cultural references, one probably more obvious than the other.>quarterstaffI'm taking the Quarterstaff of the Acrobat and turning it into a scaling weapon based on how many dragons the wielder has defeated. It'll start with the ability to elongate to a 10 foot pole or shrink to a 6 inch rod and give Advantage to Acrobatics, then after defeating one dragon it'll be a +1 weapon that gains the Attack Deflection ability the staff usually has, and then it reaches its final form once three dragons have been defeated.>scrying staffGlasstaff in my Mines run has been corrupted by a cursed Staff of Scrying that he found in Tressendar Manor after arriving in Phandalin. The staff has a grapefruit-colored orb attached to one end, and can be used to cast the Scrying spell. However, the orb houses a malicious intent and will attempt to feed into its user's paranoia and baser desires. Any Scrying done while this item is cursed will be misrepresented by the orb in order to trick the user into acting in an evil way.

What kind of obsessions or hobbies would vampires or other undead have? They don't need to worry about time so money or the time needed to learn a skill wouldn't matter to them. Would they stay with the games/hobbies of their mortal youth or do you think they would gravitate to whatever would be popular in each era?
>>97374598>asking for context that would help answer OP's nonsense questions is "catalog policing"You're fucking retarded.
>>97374648Why do you feel called out?
>>97374476I really like more gruesome stuff to fit undead. Partially aware zombies or skeletons that still eat food, rotted or otherwise, that either cause their stomachs to rupture in case of zombies or just linger in bits draped across bones for skeletons so they always smell terrible.
>>97374476>What kind of obsessions or hobbies would vampires or other undead have?Specifically the ones they had in life. Going through the motions over and over, desperately trying to squeeze out the spark they had felt, unable to find new things, or any things, enjoyable.
>>97374598The nogames instantly recoils at being asked a basic question
So I tend to run high-powered games with lots of homebrew and shenanigans going on in PF1e/D&D3.5e/d20 systems/etc. and I've used plenty of optional rulesets and such and tend to allow copious (some would even say insane) amounts of 3pp and alt content as long as I have a chance to review it first and it seems like it'd fit. Among other things I have used the Mythic rules for some of my games and overall I do find some of the content rather overboard even for my games. I have also granted players customized extras (that occasionally scale) before, once I called them "atavisms".I am trying to design an "add-on" system that's a bit more regular for my games instead of the random campaign specific stuff I've done for people. I'm just not entirely sure what to call this though and I was hoping you lot might have some interesting suggestions (barring making up my own word ofc).Thus far some name ideas include> atavisms> blessings> boons> awakenings (there is a 3pp system for these)> gifts> modifications/mods> templates> splats (WoD reference)> sides (eating lol)Comment too long.

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?

>>97374952>Minor spelling errorFuck. The mutation is the plant mutation one. Gives d12 mouths I kind of see an argument in emulating two claws and a bite, but beyond that seemed a little much. I did offer to let him have a constant application of damage when grabbing or holding someone.
>>97375022>>97374952Found it. It is the carnivore mutation that gives d12 mouths that can inflict d8 damage.
>>97375022>>97375029>It is the carnivore mutation that gives d12 mouths that can inflict d8 damage.Ah, lit's a plant mutation, hadn't considered that.In that case, the rules say that he does get ten attacks. But depending on where the mouths are on the plant, it might be fair to rule that only a few of them can be used on a single target.If you're playing the Mutants and Mazes variant, then do notice that the number of attacks depends on the character level. If you're using the "standard" variant, Gamma World was never overly concerned with play balance in the first place.
>>97374961>around 1 in 6 for the settled lands and 1 in 8 for everything else.Ah, I thought you meant one point of interest per hex, not one roll per hex. Then the density looks roughly okay.>I hope to post the first floor soonLooking forward.
Is it better to have fully anthropomorphic beast people in your settings or just humans with like animal ears and tails?
>>97367621But is it acceptable or is it still bestiality fetish as that one anon puts it
>>97331738Did you draw this
>>97348829I think they were able to capture the spirit of them.
>>97330128There are permutations of beast people that are not furshit(argonians, skaven, etc.). Furries still like them, but, inherently, beastmen are a separate thing from furries.There are no permutations of humans with animal ears and tails that are not weebshit.
>>97347784Dog-headed people were just a thought experiment. It'd be like saying modern people have a fetish for trolleys.
About a decade ago we got a rumour that the Primarchs would come back (before it actually started happening).Part of that rumour was that one loyalist would turn traitor and one traitor would become a loyalist.So who's it gonna be?Picture potentially related, Angron for ants.

Goblins have existed in folklore for centuries in various forms, but where and when was it decided that Goblins are green? in 1st edition d&d, thwey're described as having various skin shades, green not being specified or standing out among the.a lot of people assume warhammer, but spiderman had a green goblin before warhammer, so what the fuck

Literally (literally) this guy.The Warhammer goblins have their appearance based off of him. Final Fantasy 1 also used the same style of goblins and so it got into japanese media as well.I've seen someone say that that if the Green Goblin were made today he wouldn't be called the Green Goblin because it's redundant but if he were made today goblins would be completely different.
Hey thereI've decided to start a West Marches-style campaign on my LGS. It sounds the perfect style to run for a public setting w/ rotating players, but I myself have never DMed oneAny experiences, tips and advices regarding DM-ing/playing West Marches style games?Or general tips for running games on LGS ? For those unfamiliar with West Marches style, here is what google have to say about it:>Player-Driven Exploration: Players decide where to go and what to explore, venturing into unknown territory from a safe starting town.>Rotating Cast: A large pool of players participates, but different combinations of adventurers form parties for each session, preventing the need for a single regular group.>Sandbox World: The world is a sandbox, with the map and plot emerging as players discover new locations and rumors, rather than being dictated by the GM.>No Fixed Schedule: Sessions occur when players organize themselves, often on a voluntary basis.>Low GM Prep: The Game Master (GM) focuses on creating a world and potential encounters, responding to player choices, rather than crafting complex plots.>Self-Contained Sessions: Adventures are often designed to be resolved in a single session, with storylines evolving over time.Comment too long.

>>97373447>nowWest Marches is from 2008 (the blog post explaining it; it was run in 2003), Anon. Hexcrawls (which is what you actually mean) have existed since 1974.
>>97374320>I'm going to just ask a Google robot to hallucinate a definition instead of looking at the blog of the guy who came up with it, where he spent a ton of effort defining it
>>97374697The definition the community takes, in the end of the day, ends up being more relevant than the definition of the original post ~20 years ago. Google gay robots, as gay as they are, provide you with basically an unholy amalgamation of what the internet has been posting. Thus, it is actually a decent quick portrait of what the overall consensus is. You're bait so you obviously know by this time I've watched & read tons of guides and seen pretty much all the popular definitions of this genreBut ok, if you want to go RAW, let's do it:>arsludi lamemage com, article #78, grand-experiments-west-marchesWe have 3 pillars:>1. There was no regular time: every session was scheduled by the players on the fly.>2. There was no regular party: each game had different players drawn from a pool of around 10-14 people.>3. There was no regular plot: The players decided where to go and what to do. It was a sandbox game in the sense that’s now used to describe video games like Grand Theft Auto, minus the missions. There was no mysterious old man sending them on quests. No overarching plot, just an overarching environment.Let's start with point 3. My game obviously satisfy this criteria because its a sandbox, there's no quest giver, there's no overarching plot. I started off giving 3 rumors for practical reasons: this is the first session, players are dumb AND not accustomed with having that level of agency. Through a party that has 20-year tradition of regular plot-driven campaigns into a sandbox without a plan is asking for disaster. Thus, I provided 3 rumors they could follow, with no promise they would work outPoint 2 is basically impossible to achieve w/ 1 session, since basically anything above 6 players is crazy for a single session. Nevertheless, considering we have +2 people that would join that party later and at least +6 coming in next Tuesday on the LGS, we would have, at minimum, 11 players accounted for. Thus, mathematically proven ( 10 < 11 < 14 )
>>97374697>>97374756At last, we get back to point 1Point 1 is bullshit in my opinion, and I've explicitly said so many times in this thread (such as here >>97317589 and here >>97321780 )Nevertheless, let's dig deeper into it. The official schedule is every two Tuesdays 7pm at the LGS. Having a fixed schedule is, technically, not West March-y. However, yesterday, we played at 8pm on a Thursday on some random dude's house, which is neither the day, time or place of the original schedule. Thus, behold! The schedule is not fixed! It can happen upon demand!If that groups keep going (and I hope they will), we will have at least 2 different times schedules happening in parallel to accommodate different players. Thus, matching the original poster's goal:>A secondary goal was to make the schedule adapt to the complex lives of adultsI already plan on giving the opportunity for players to schedule sessions outside of those two pre-defined days, but at this point in time it makes no sense to overthink about how scheduling like that will work in a month from the game. But ultimately, me as the DM, also happen to be a an adult with a somewhat complex life, thus, my schedule matters too As a DM of 20+ years, I can tell y'all that "sessions scheduled by players on the fly" would only potentially work after establishing the campaign & the mood. Its unfeasible to just assume players will be that proactive right off the bat. Ask all DMs you know, out of all the groups they DM'ed for, who was responsible for scheduling & controlling player attendance/invites, and I bet they will say at least 90% of the time that was all on the DMComment too long.

For those interested in actual discussion and/or the progress of the thread/this whole thing, pic related is the map from yesterday test session>X is starting point>Numbered hexes is where player exploredNote I'm adding number indexes by hand. I know a lot of hexes templates already have indexes, but I both didn't like how they were formatted, and I felt it was useful to add manually so that I know whether that hex has previous entry or not (a hex with no previous entry = basically still a blank page)I'm though also reconsidering the index system, might label it by environment (like numbering all parts of the same forest a similar index entry to put it all together). Not sure how I will proceed with this sort of bookkeeping on my part, especially because I need something high efficient to avoid taking time during sessions. Worst part is... the binder I was excited to use for this whole thing turns out to be too big and not fit inside my DM screen :|

Thread dedicated to Sci-Fi based discussion. 40k need not apply. [\spoiler]How goes your sci-fi setting, anon? I am currently running a Traveller game in a homebrew setting, and am getting lost in the sauce of stellar physics.
>>97366921>Has an explanation in Laymans terms, technical terms and a deep lore reasonAbsolute King shit right there, I love it and would shake your hand if I could.
>>97352596Cepheus is more of a pre-Star Wars space opera. Stars Without Number is more of science fantasy by default (although you can easily turn it into something harder by mashing it with Cities).SWN has D&D levelling, but the math is closer to Basic D&D, so HP bloat is less of a problem.
>>97350282Haven't touched Traveller for years, since second edition, the quality of the book was fucking terrible and fell apart after barely any use, got it replaced. How are the editions since then?

Thoughts on older empires being able to accomplish great feats at such scales that they seem wonders in the diminished, more conventional sci Fi ages?You know, thighs like clearly entirely artificial planets, genetically created species, super structures such a Dyson spheres or wormhole gates
Every once in a while there's a thread popping up about how badass and stronger 40k's setting is, but big time professional question ironically raised by an autistic friend of mine at the pub yesterday:Could the Imperium sucessfully afford to invade and take over Kirby's planet?
To the people saying "kirby isnt that strong" we know. We played the games and watched the cartoon. His copy power iant perfect and the warp star is unreliable.Here's the thing tho: power scalers dont know this, and they believe everything the internet says kirby can do all because of 1 poorly written death battle against majin buu.
>>97373160>>97373743Reminder that in Planet Robobot, Haltmann converted all of popstar to a mechanized world in seconds.Once Kirby woke up he immediately stole a mech, taught that mech Hunger, freed the planet, destroyed the fleet, ate a starship, killed a rebuilt cyborg godmachine, and returned Pop Star to normal. Not even an exterminatus would stop him.
>>97374369These sort of plans have a tendency to backfire. Twice now someone has gotten the jump on Kirby and sliced him with an all-killing blade - once was Death itself - and all it did was split Kirby into multiple Kirbys. Trapping Kirby in a stasis field will likely just give him access to some sort of alt-form, super-powerful "Elder Kirby" that triggers at key moments as the game's gimmick.
