Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to TSR-era D&D, derived systems, and compatible content.Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to early Dungeons & Dragons - less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching meta-plots 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 on this playstyle.>Troves, Resources, Blogs, etc:http://pastebin.com/9fzM6128>Need a starter dungeon?

So I recently got roped into running a Stargate RPG for my group. We decided to go with the 2003 version as opposed to the modern Phoenix Base version with the !NotNox who are fine with killing people.Sadly this system was killed off with a splatbook finished but unpublished. So I'm taking a wild swing here, but does anyone here happen to have the Season 3 Splatbook? There are also a number of fanworks (maps, tools, etc) that I found via the waybackmachine, but a lot of the homebrew and even errata seems totally lost to me. From the dead ruins of the Alderac forums, it seems people had even made a map of the entire Cheyenne Mountain complex.So, /tg/, do you have any old Stargate RPG materials to share? Any campaign stories or house rules or pieces of advice? Should my group just switch to the new version? And does anyone have any ideas for Goa'uld vehicles? One of the cancelled games apparently had a hover tank but thats all I can find.
>>96936635Teal'c isn't dumb, even if limited in what the Goa'uld largely allow him to know. Pretty sure he'd notice if trips between planets within his god's domain suddenly were shorter, let alone attacks on distant enemy worlds beyond Apophis' borders. Besides, the Goa'uld just didn't teach him how to rewire a ship, but that's not his job. He was a soldier then First Prime, why would he need to know Carter levels of information about how the ships tech works? There would be zero reason to withhold from him how long it takes to reach different worlds. He's First fucking Prime. His job was to plan and execute campaigns for Apophis.
>>96937017>>96936635To be fair, Teal'c told Carter>A Goa'uld ha'tak vessel can travel at ten times the speed of light.Carter devised, based on the coordinates of the destination they used, that it would take a year or more to reach Earth at ten times the speed of light. When they instead arrived in, what, hours? Carter said obviously they can go a lot faster than ten times light speed.

>>96948068By virtue of its AP, Phosphex is the one chemical that matters. As such, it is the best chemical.Scrutinize my words all you like, the Dark Angel's big termies must not have improved access to it, for that is the sole purview of the Death Guard.
>>96947850Dumb faggot
>>96948309It isn't. Even the Ultramarines had a destroyer company that phosphex'ed an entire world, making it uninhabitable. Meaning there is more precedent in the lore for UM having improved access to phosphex than DG.

Internet artist/tumblr funnyman Johnathan "Bogleech" Wocjik finally sort of made available for public purchase the (used to be)-edgy pokémon TRPG Mortasheen, first announced as coming out in a few weeks back in 2011, has finally temporarily released to the public - PDF and physical copies are being sold on itch 'til the 14th. Anyone else looked at the game? First impressions?
>>96946166Not that anon but I think that for Mortasheen one of the easiest things to do is have your Think Tank go and battle their monsters in a tournament while someone, like Ziven, tries to sabotage them, during downtime they go out to find/make more monsters. That would be my idea if I ever decided to DM a game at least.
>>96913838Go back to /pol/.
>>96946710>when you're so fucking tumblr that everything else sounds like /pol/Fuck off out of here, you don't belong.
>>96946166ive only ever been a player thusfar, my first ygore being a gravewiggle and my second (somewhat stretching the rules for the sake of a fun character concept) being a lazaroid. campaign structure is basically entirely based on the concept of a 'think tank' - the pcs are a collective of mad scientists with a generalized purpose that they seek through wacky adventures. my first campaign involved our think tank constructing a restaraunt designed to bring fine dining to the masses in an inexpensive way, and our adventures included hunting for ingredients, sabotaging a flenseco investor presentation, and infiltrating a cult to get a genetically correct sample of goat meat.not every adventure needs to directly tie into the think tank - once we met the cult we did an additional mission cracking into the sluckways with them on an expedition, or invading a vampire's lair to learn more about an area of interest. there's also the matter of stuff like actual antagonists - a campaign we did involving running a theater involved the party being at the beck and call of a corrupt executive who stole their memories, as well as dealing with the wreathe. missions involved 'claiming' an old building as a lair, seeking out talent, taking part in a racing competition at the boss' behest, going to the skitterwood to get blocks for the racing competition, infiltrating a reality show to weed out wreathe infiltrators, and being ambushed while expanding the lair and sent to the substrata below. the sky is basically the limit and due to teleportation you can have radically different locations for most missions if youd like.
>>96947387as an example off the top of my head, consider a municipal think tank based in the rustfen that wants to provide advanced and reliable power sources to their neighbors. missions could include:> going to the sparkjungle to steal a few nuclear reactors and kick off the business> invading the chemistry college to try and find a rustproofing solution> getting a lead on an insanely potent new type of power source and trying to hunt it down> learning the skitterwood might crawl over your location and working to influence its path, as to prevent damage to your new infrastructure> you made some friends recently and they phone you up to help wire in their lair, but something goes terribly wrong> one of your players wants to plutonium rule a surgeon discovery, so you attend a mini tournament at the surgery collegeComment too long.

>>96871326I'm gonna say it. I like the Rakghoul stuff. But I REALLY fucking hate Legends Deathtroopers. I don't know what it is about them, but they just feel really out of place in Star Wars. Like, Rakghouls feel right, but Deathtroopers just feel like edgy grimdark shit in a franchise that always felt more at home with the over-the-top.I think it may be the whole "Blood pouring from every orifice" thing, when Star Wars has always been a very bloodless property.

>>96946425By opening a booster box, you'll most likely end up with a complete, or nearly complete, set of ordinaries, some sets of exceptionals, and most likely singles of elites, not to mention uniques, which you might get none that you need. In my experience, one box will get you an approximate of the precons, but you'll miss the guaranteed identity rarer cards might get you.One booster box most likely will get you a fairly functional limited deck
>>96946425there's pretty much no much way you will be able to recreate any of the starter decks from one box because of the pull rates of uniques/avatars/and exceptional sites. You will be able to make a 2 element deck from one box for sure though. To get the cards from all 4 starter decks you would need to open multiple boxes probably, but by then you'd be able to build a better deck than any of the precons. Beta precon is a good deal if you just want to play right away comes with 4 decks and goes for 35-40 on ebay.
Previous thread: >>96867326GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by using the image (follow the URL to get to a folder with some files, read the files to get to the archive). Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.If you're wondering where to start:- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.- How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.- GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.Thread Question: Given that the revised Basic Set is adding 27 pages of new or updated material, what one specific optional rule or mechanic would you include (or remove), and why would that change or improve playability for your campaign style?
>>96946658>>96946655>take your ass down by one or two posts to get the black and white versionI know. I'll continue to point out why it's bad regardless.>I never thought of it that way.>FeintEditing your work is a skill that rewards you for butchering your precious drafts.>AimYou lose your bonus if you interrupt it. Shock is the only punishment for getting hit while aiming. It's heroic by default.>ConcentrateLook at B236 where it says you roll Will-3 on both injury and interruption. Injury would also include shock. You could make two Will rolls by taking a defense, failing, and getting hurt. You need to convey that in your text.>Martial ArtsIt tends to clarify rather than overrule Basic, like the Strong thing and, for example, allowing Feint any time you can make an attack roll (like on a Rapid Strike) since AOA Double = AOA Feint.I think if you include Rapid Strike, the AOA Strong bonus to one attack description would be limiting. You do what you want but I think it's worth removing the limit.>>96947203Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>96947224Just to clarify, I'm talking about me being the GM and describing what a PC did to an enemy. Like the PC aims for the neck, hits, deals 10 damage with a sword (becomes 20 injury) but the enemy survives the hit and passes the HT checks.Like how do I describe "yeah you hit him in the neck with your sword, but he's still alive and conscious" without sounding ridiculous?
>>96947233Could be the hit ripped down into the clavicle, trap muscle, upper chest and didn't cut the jugulars.The upper trapezius muscle on a strong specimen might do wonders in keeping the jugulars from getting hit. The wound will still be dramatic. Also clavicle (but can't say the hit broke it because that would be the equivalent of a crippled arm), upper chest below throat. These would seem to be dramatic wounds with still a couple minutes before bleeding out if treated in time.
>>96947233You can more or less just say "You hit him in the neck and he's still alive and conscious". Unless you're describing damage to the spine/nerves that's totally doable, plenty of videos of guys getting jabbed in the carotid and still staying in the fight for a good 10 or so seconds before crumpling, or people getting hacked in the neck by a machete before eventually giving in a couple minutes later. Within the timescale of GURPS combat it's not unrealistic or unreasonable for people to survive these blows at least until the end of the average combat.
>>96947407>>96947412Thanks, this does helps me to visualize it.
Why were Drow not really part of the "always evil races" discourse compared to Orcs?
>>96943063Well then tell me what made the LOTR movie equivalent for drow is, boomer.
>>96922034Because they had a matriarchal society and everyone knows that women can do no wrong
>>96942884Or maybe because black people don't act like drow, they act like orcs.Drow also don't look like black people just because they have dark skin either, they are basically just palette swapped white people.
>>96922034Because fantasy Orcs come from Tolkien, and everything that comes from Tolkien has already been blended into vanilla mush by lesser writers. We just accept that, because it's pervasive.Drow, on the other hand, are based most directly on Melniboné. There are other inspirations in the mix, but if you look at the original D-series modules and the description of Erelhei-Cinlu, it's pretty clear that we're dealing with a pulp fantasy "decadent civilization," not the cartoonish capital-E Evil they became in the hands of Salvatore &al. The flanderization happened recently, and in a context where Moorcock had already elevated a pulp trope that was previously flat. Gygax preserved some of the nuance in ripping off Moorcock, but his successors did not.
>>96922034The problem with drow is no one ever wants to play a race that gets fucked up outside in the daytime and if they're already making that sacrifice most people would rather play a vampire-type thing. Vampires are intrinsically evil, get benefits from being nocturnal, but can also sometimes fly and are just widely more popular than drow. I feel like there's enough overlap vampires have straight up stolen their niche.

>>96933527Means and intent matter.The idea of "imprison a lich to keep it from escaping" isn't evil. But selecting your method based on how much pain it will inflict is evil. And to be clear - he makes these decisions based on the pain it will inflict. He takes a sadistic joy in fantasizing about the agony his victims will be in.But to really put the nail in the coffin, let's talk about deal with the Lich. The lich revealed his phylactery. You can end the threat here and now. It will not only be safer for everyone involved, it will also be easier. And he doesn't choose it. He chooses to the option that is harder and less safe for himself and everyone else. All so he can feel pleasure from torture.His alignment is evil.

>>96943706Ooh yeah. There's three health systems that you can pick from, each of which change how you take damage. This sprung from people requesting monster characters with a unique system, then proceeding to play monster characters. It kinda stuck from then on. You're encouraged to roll characters for fun.BREAK is the standard system. Hit 0 HP and "Break" -> Lose SPIRIT -> RepeatSTAGGER was the monster system.You run x1/x2/x4 BREAK's HP, and just burn HP -> burn SPIRIT without any resets. Once HP runs out, you "Stagger" then.POISE is a newer system that people liked when I made it.It's just BREAK, but less max HP and base BREAK HP added to SPIRIT instead.The "Knockdowns" are also use less Spirit, and have less comeback mechanics.So the +3 to HP for BREAK, is +3/+6/+12 for STAGGER, or +1 for POISE.I *know* it's weird and confusing, but most of it is handled by an html character sheet I wrote for Roll20.Comment too long.

Abolitionism in an RPG setting: How do you incorporate abolitionism into a role-playing game world in a way that resonates with people, without making it the default norm? Are there good examples of fictional settings where certain countries or cultures include this concept? I’m not just referring to enslaved individuals wanting freedom, but also non-enslaved people advocating for the end of slavery. Additionally, I propose an oath to ignore anyone attempting to justify Southern slavery or falsely imply that Jewish people were responsible for American slavery—no comments or engagement with such claims. Most importantly, I suggest disregarding any pseudo-history or pseudoscience from those pushing these narratives by not commenting and just staying on the school Topic at hand for settings and role playing games.
