>>97107652Fire Lord Azula is about to be it Are there any green "copy spell/effect" commanders? I would love to copy ramp spells...
>>97109866sagas are the fun version of superfriends>play saga>step 1 draw card, step 2 destroy an artifact, step 3 scry 2 and draw a card - that happens when I cast it, and then instantly on my upkeep, so just nudge me if I forget about it alright? :)>play planeswalker>okay so uhm I can pay oh I mean it enters with 5 loyalty counters then I can pay +2 to draw a card and then deal damage to a creature I don't control if a creature in my graveyard has a colour that's not in my commander's colour identity or I can +4 to create a 2/3 blurt-token that will let me tap it and pay 3 to create a 0/1 sword token that has an equip cost of 4 but can only be equipped on non-legendaries hehe quirky little tokens huh, got them cheap from a local vendor even though they're really rare and were never reprinted oh yeah and I can -3 to draw a card but that ability can only be activated during opponents' turns, so yeah that's about it ........ what do you mean "what does it do again", i just told you very clearly!! how can you not remember each ability instantly, I only played 3 planeswalker and read their 7 chapters of their printed biographies on each of my turns, ugh really pay some attention guys...
>>97109971raggadragga is so fucking based in earthebending decks>>97110050Cute nose>>97110551uhm sweaty, "Partner with" is not the same as "Partner" (which is dumb and bullshit by the way, so many cards should arguably have Partner or similar effects>>97110348I was gonna make a Tifa deck but realised just how boring it'd probably be after a game or two>ramp superhard and KO someone at onceor>tifa gets instaremoved all game long and I don't get to really do anythingaverage voltron experience unless you play a commander with good ward abilities
>>97111185Only reason I'm even considering Tifa is that I'm realizing the deck has a surprising amount of redundancy with things like mossborn hydra
Started to DM for the first timeHow the actual fuck do you organize all this shit?
>>97099528Are you retarded or something? 12-year-olds in the 70s were able to play D&D
>>97101517What the fuck are you talking about, retard?
>>97107375It sounds like you're getting information behind rolls? Two of the three games you've run are investigation heavy games, the mistake most newbie GMs make (and many bad scenarios perpetuate) is that you think your job is to gate information from the players. You should always just give the players enough information to move forward. A failed roll shouldn't grind everything to a halt.One way you can organize thing in a way that I like is to make a list of the information that the players need to find, rather than the vectors that they find said information. That way you can think on your feet and adapt as the players are going.
>>97099528I have a binder to track my campaign with a series of preformatted sheets. Every session is about 5 pages. I'll prep what little I need and fill in the rest during the session. I have a few different sized stick notes for any retcons>page 1: list of PCs played, retainers/animals/carts, NPCs, marching order and a brief summary of the last session / statement of the players goals to open it so I don't have to improv that shitpage 2: locations/hexes traveled, space to write the scenes in session, space for any new rumors/hooks, prerolled random encounters for day (wilderness)/night (wildnerness)/city/dungeon/blank space for more as needed>page 3: blank for session notes>page 4: treasure tracking and XP, monsters and XP, exploration goals and XP, the plan they decided for the next session>page 5: torch and time tracking
>>97108208>that you think your job is to gate information from the playersYeah honestly in MotW I thought giving them the location of the monster was good enough but to be honest I've regretted being vague on the answers that I gave instead of just answering pretty directly. That eventually lead to me kinda infodumping in a boring way through an NPCBut maybe you're right I shouldn't give up on it
Instead of orcs. Rabbits.
>>96833101cute
>>96833101hehehe
>>96998245Yes.
>>97084443No. Orcs.
I love my orc wife.

New Thread>>97110766
>>97110177Race is on of the games that for whatever reason I have no interest in. I might like it but have no motivation to seek it out despite the good reputation. It was the same with Dominion. I played it and it's fine. Very mechanical but I'm not a fan of straight deck building.
>>97110113Nighty night! Sweet dreams!
>>97095423I just bought it at the Yellow Submarine in Ikebukuro
The online influence of warhammer will be shattered this Friday
>>97108985Because he lives off the generosity of Scandinavian socialism, and the extra pittance he gains from his youtube "career" goes entirely into miniatures he cannot properly build and videogame DLC.
If he drops receipts about shitty "lore" regurgitating channels and mediocre painters being not just GW shills, but actually paid ones, he'd be super based.
>>97108642Traditional games?
>>97111111
>>97110641He’s already based
This is About Writing This
>>97103699>Thinks that an author is economizing his dialogue poorly by using a transition page to wring out some introspection and jokes while the opportunity is still there, and while simultaneously preparing the readers for the tone shift.
>>97103699This same anon will pog out for 20 pages of manga where nothing happens but the hero posing at dramatic camera angles trying to bait a cartoon adaptation btw
>>97104572lol!

>>970173407th is fine. There’s also Cthulhu by Gaslight which is based on the same system but takes place in late 19th Century, primarily in and around London. I’d take a look at the other games that were suggested as well. Remember, though, whatever game you choose, someone hates it and is only too ready to tell you why. I love CoC, personally, but to each their own. There’s a pulp supplement I would urge you to avoid, however. I think it’s ass. For other sorts of horror, especially more action oriented stuff, I use Savage Worlds Adventurer Edition and its excellent horror companion. One thing I might suggest is that regardless of what system you’re running check out GURPS Horror. It’s full of good ideas and solid overviews of various types of horror. I ran a summer camp slasher game not too long ago using Savage Worlds and it worked pretty well.Pic related is the map of the summer camp island.
>>97104699Kipling?I might be ignorant on the subject but Mowgli doesn't strike me as particulary eldritch
>>97038204I've seen a better miniature someone else made for SCP-682. Pic related.

With your meta knowledge, could you survive two years with in the universes of your table top games?
>>97104266I love how games journalism destroyed itself utterly and doesn't really exist anymore, yet they sucked so much that I'm sure we'll still be mocking them for decades.
>>97084418Got him

All of you would die because your immune systems haven't had your whole lives to adapt to the pathogens of the world or time you ended up in.
>>97108521Just wait until you realize that everything you've been told about pathogens is a complete lie.
I contend that based on mechanics, ease of use and adaptation, ease of modification (though I would stick to Pondsmith's version as much as possible as it's just about perfect), it's rules being shown as accurate to real life firefights in a study done recently and the fact that it's modular and can be dropped right in and used in ANY tabletop game with firearms: that R. Talsorian Games/Mike Pondsmith have created the GREATEST tabletop system for gun fights in the history of TTRPGs.Thoughts? If you disagree I'd love to hear why or if you agree please post why. Let's get a discussion going on this stellar and very unique combat system and frankly, game overall itself.
>>97092922Damn bro. Good on you for surviving both.
Somewhere along the line, either SP is less for deforming or armour weighs/costs more because we don’t see every random thug dressing up in Kevlar suits to have street battles where Saturday Night Specials have the penetrating power of a baseball bat.
>>97098348another noguns retard btfo again by random vendors in our glorious cyberpunk future
>>97098348They're a scam and don't work. Armor needs to be rigid or thick (or a combination of both) to absorb the energy of an attack. You probably can't kick through denim fabric, but a kick in the balls will hurt you, no matter what jeans you're wearing.
>>97104722We have all seen them work on camera. Have you never heard of soft body armor? Fucking noguns retards man, I swear.
with all the AI there is on the internet, google only give me is the same oni mask done a million timesthe internet is dead (or at least google image search)
why do they alwats have a giant club, not swords or axes? and what is the studded club called?
>>97107483Because Hercules used a club as his main weapon and dressed in a lion skin, it got transmitted eastwards and localised as a tiger skin.
>>97107483It’s called a 金棒 Kanabō. As for why… good question. Fits the primitive image?
>>97097367That looks more like a thiefling
Lets have a thread on big weapons. Any systems where this is possible? Do you prefer a "realistic" approach or do you prefer anime shenanigans? Are PCs even allowed to use large weapons on foot, for that matter?
gurps fags stay losing kek
>>97098817In theory.In practice, it's a new amount of force, but you're able to adapt to said system.You don't use a Claymore like a Fencing Foil. Same way you'd use a giant sword differently as well.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6vCwTCY4x0This guy has some practice seeing what works and what doesn't.
>>97097582that guy is just a manlet.
>>97097497Have you ever seen weaponry in a museum? I'd recommend Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow, it has a cool selection.
>>97106410takes one to know one :)
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?

>>97110601By spamming reports while cycling through IPs to trick the mods.
>leader of an organization is individually stronger and more skilled than all of his underlingsWhy is this such a common trope in TTRPGs? It is literally never the case in real life.
>>97101286Average for a French man at the time he was living. "Haha, manlet," except he's just a somewhat short man by modern American standards, and still taller than the average modern American woman.
>>97107996He was a Corsican, though one well adapted to French culture.
>>97108072Yeah, that's technically right. Point still being that he was not short among his contemporaries.
>>97057448>shift ordersFuck this warden if he pulls me from an easy post to watch some shitstick on suicide watch
>>97107996He was called a manlet by everyone. Average height was probably just his cope.
If TSR didn't sell off their assets to Wizards of the Coast, /tg/ would be a very different place today. We probably wouldn't have as many GURPS autists, not as many people wasting all their money on card stock for another media tie-in for soulless "Magic the Gathering", and there would be no such thing as 5e. D&D would have stayed as it was and there would have never been any need for an Old School Renaissance general. Can you imagine /tg/ without all this? Gamers here would actually play games. And I imagine them happy.
>>97089667>TSR was in the shitter because all the sovl stuff from D&D had been sucked out by Lorraine WilliamsThat was the final straw, sure, but the reason she was even in charge was that Gary was such a stupid cunt. He burned his goodwill, he burned his money, and then he was shocked when he ended up scorched.
>>97082746I mean he's right insofar as TSR would never have had the acumen to sell out to the funkopop crowd, or if they had, they would have done it wrong and it'd be over by now.
>>97102911>1. Prove that major capital investment firms are all run by secret (or not that secret) Marxist communists who despise the system of economics that made them some of the most powerful people on the planetTencent next.>>2. Prove that major capital investment firms hate straight white men just because they see potential markets in Western minorities and direct financial incentives to courting said marketsOkay, then where are the programs to benefit stright white men. Not trans or gay white men. Not blind or crippled white men. Normal white men? Shocking for something that wants to have everyone seen. Why is it when it's a white men they need to be gay, evil, or a beta cuck that is the butt of the joke?>>>3. Prove that it is unequivocally a bad thing to go after those marketsOkay, does that mean white people can make take "Black/gay/women/etc" IPs and change everything for white men? (Without being yell out for it.)>>>>4. Prove that they are going after those markets out of a desire to bring down Western civilization, the very same civilization that created the economic system they, as established in task 1, now sit at the very peak ofWhy else do you think they doing this? Maybe cause America is in their way and preventing the "Elite" from having full control. Noticed in the EU, China, etc. You don't have freedom of speech and basically if they don't like you they just arrest you and make bullshit for the reason.case and pointhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jE369thZ_wSo yeah. I think we have a group that DON'T want a nation that proves you can have freedom of speech, arms and not have a caste system. Though keep your head up their ass and breath deep if you think they will give a rat's ass about you.Or better yet. Maybe you can still go out with honor and no be forever known as a brownosing faggot.
>>97107252And he immediately starts flooding it with the same kind of fake chatter he uses in the /osrg/ and /nsrg/.
>>97082695/tg/ would honestly be worse if TSR didn't die, the Gygax design ethos is anathema to the "construct *your* character concept with these rules and make it come to life!" aspect of ttrpgs that's frankly the only way for a ttrpg to not completely get its lunch eaten by vidya.the only possible improvement from TSR surviving is D20 Modern not happening.
