Fish edition

Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e, BECMI, retroclones NSR and newer) are not OSR should be discussed elsewhere.

Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creator in its first decade — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency.

>What kind of fish related enemies have your players defeated?
they actually have never faced them, but i want to introduce kuo-toa someday
side note, how do you MECHANICALLY distinguish between different humanoids? 5e has stuff like kuo-toa having weak blindsense
>>
These are getting more advanced. But it still lacks that numerically-defined first-decade charm.
>>
>>97200705
Shut up fishfag. Go hijack a /mlp/ thread.
>>
>>97200705
I mean, he's trying harder I guess. Maybe as he tries harder and harder to blend in he'll eventually just make proper threads.
>>
>>97200658
>TQ
back on the isle of dread i got a couple of PC kills using giant mantis shrimps that had evolved oscillating buzzsaw arms to open giant oysters.
The PCs were harvesting pearls from an abundant bed and had just enough time to flee to their boats. The scrimps surrounded the boats and destroyed them in one round, dropping the party in the water.
The fight was brutal and desperate, with the highlight being the MU casting levitate before the boats got shredded, then dragging up two other PCs with her, and then the bard tossing her a wand with a nat 20, which she used to turn the tide.
I got two PC kills from the critters, as they had very high damage. (2d10/ea)

>>97200744
Kill yourself, fishfag. Go make your own shitty 2etard thread.
>>
>>97200658
>TQ
My players ended up facing a hoard of kuo toa in their underdark campaign. The wizard used cloudkill while the rest of the party ran. The other wizard then put up a wall of force as they watched them choke out.

>>97200677
i find natural weaponry is quite effective at displaying monstrosity

Altered OP text?
>BECMI, retroclones
>not OSR now!
Subtle fishfag purity spiral meming
>>
>>97200964
>BECMI
yes
>retroclones NSR and newer
Same as always. Also, just because you try to reverse the nickname, no one is falling for this.
>>
>>97200964
Neck yourself, fishfag. Go make your own thread, everyone can see through what youre doing.
>>
>>97200967
>Same as always
Why would you lie? The correct OP text is
>Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere
Now OP is fucking with it and inserting bullshit.
>>
>>97200964
>>97200980
Yes, it's another fishfag hijack thread, just in his most subtle form yet. But being made when the old one is on page 6, leaving out the 74-83 date range, and adding random banned games to the OP makes it pretty obvious. He's going pretty hilarious on the fake aggro though to distract from it.
>>
>>97200987
¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ it'll do. I like it better than pretending there isn't a such thing as a decade.
>>
>>97200980
>>97200987
>>97200998
fuck off, fishfag. everyone can see what youre doing with your blatant false flag. go hijack an /mlp/ thread.
>>
>>97201021
I do like how you've taken one of the better insults thrown at you over in the 3eg thread you're also trying to hijack and just spamming it now:
https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/97161838/#q97185168

I'm guessing you're an avid mlp poster as well, to add to your list of sins, for this to have hit as close to home as it has.
>>
How mixable are the Yggsburgh Adventures Dark And Deep stuff with Greyhawk?
>>
>>97200677
>how do you MECHANICALLY distinguish between different humanoids?
By the book. What's unclear? They have different HD, size, damage, AC, movement speeds, vulnerabilities...
>>
Early created Fishfag hijack thread with an altered OP. Ignore and report.
>>
>Removed the first decade range.
>Tried to make BECMI and retroclone off-topic
Obvious fishfag false flag attack. Ignore and report.
>>
>>97200705
>These are getting more advanced.
Not really, it's still the same poorly spelled hijackfaggotry.
>>
>>97201234
>>97201226

Fuck you fishfag
Everyone can see the blatant false flag youre pulling. You cant help it with how much offtopic garbage youve been posting, including those pathetic excuses for character sheets.
>>
>>97201263
>After abandoning the pathetic attempts to use "ACKshill", "BrOSR", and "trollcow" as retarded comebacks, fishfag is now going full false flag in an attempt to fool mods.
Fishfag has really gotten desperate.
>>
Someone make sure to create a proper thread with the consensus OP once the real thread hits page 9. Also, be sure to report this shitty hijack thread for trolling. Thanks.
>>
>UPDATE ON THE FISHFAG HIJACK ATTEMPTS
New technique: The false flag, trying to make BECMI and Retroclones off topic.

Know your fishfag threads. Ignore and be sure to report.
>>
>fishfag attempting to falseflag this thread
>stealing anons sheet rightfully calling out his hijack attempts
>>
How does one even "hijack" a thread?
Whats gonna happen then? People are going to talk about 2e, boo hoo. It just seems like a slippery slope fallacy
>"oh no if we let people talk about 2e then any day now there will be 5e posts in this thread! We gotta gatekeep this thread!"

>>97200658
>trollcow pushing the overton window on the thread like we all knew he would once enough people left

Man this is what i comeback to.

He's fucking up the /40kg/ too calling anons lolcow. Basically if you participate in a thread he tries and fuck it up.
>>
>>97201344
You're never going to talk about 2nd ed. You've been given hundreds of opportunities and outright explanations of how to do so in a way that isn't obnoxious and you refuse to do so. All you do is shit and piss yourself, taking any excuse to perceive a conspiracy or slight and justifying your lying, shitting and pissing.
>>
>>97200658
>defeated
They got mixed up in a fight with some Deep Ones, their followers and some Migo. They feigned fish allegiance, took the treasure and ran.
>>
>>97200677
>MECHANICALLY distinguish between different humanoids
All the different goblins, orcs, hobgoblins, elves and whatever already have different stats. At low level things like the humanoids having +1hp or a different hand weapon and tactical approach has made a notable difference. Reskinning is fairly intuitive to me at this point so rolling Bugbears and turning them into picts or sewer mutants or anything big but stealthy works well.
Giving them battlefield objectives helps too.
>>
It's immediately noticeable that we have finally defeated fishfag, the pro-2e troll that has been force-merging and hijacking threads.

How do I know this? He is pretending to be somebody that is not him, and using our own tactics against us. But it will not work because he is a singular malfeasant pest. Ignore him, and remember:
2e is off-topic.
ACKS is based.
Slice of Life / downtime/beach episode sessions are not a bad thing or a bug!
>>
>>97203575
Great job defeating the voices in your head, anon. Also 2e is still on topic,
>>
>>97203595
Lmao, hi fishfag (original).
You still have a very characteristic typing style, both prosaically and grammatically. And no, the LP of this thread very explicitly states that 2E is off topic, and even if it wasn't, it's a garbage game for ESL third worlders anyway.
>>
>>97203808
The OP also does not say anything about retarded crying about fishfag yet you keep posting. 2e posting in these thread is never going away no matter what.
>>
>>97203865
Except you don't actually post about 2e, you just mention a random subject and then beg others to discuss it for you. Also, why does it seem like every single one of your replies isn't actually in context to what you are replying to? It seems like you are either very ESL or a bad chatbot
