This is a second OSRG, seperate from the main osrg thread, where you CAN talk about 2e, retroclones, and any osr content you want.
This is different than the regular osrg as due to rampant trolling from a handful of bad actors, discussion is impossible.

a new ACKS thread? based.

my favorite acks class by far is the explorer. it's an out-of-the box fighter/thief, and includes some nifty navigational skills. thieves are still more specialized, so its a fun compromise that doesnt make the thief obsolete

is pickleration anon here? I'm looking for some advice on my own homemade ration making.

to stay further on topic:
what do iron rations look like in your games? dont say salt pork and hard tack, be creative!
for me, it's pemmican, pickles, smoked fish, potatoes, onions, and squash.
>>
>>97226874
We see you've learned how to use apostrophes now fishfag. It still doesn't hide you btw

I've been re-playing Baldur's Gate 2, and I realized I really love all the spell icons. I'm planning on taking them, 3D printing out square tiles with the spell icon (and name), and creating a physical spellbook system that lets a caster player prepare their spells, and then slide out the spells as each one is cast.

It's slow going, but there's about a hundred tutorials for each step of the process.
>>
>>97226905
im pro-ACKS and anti-2e, and so I don't see how youve drawn that conclusion.

my favorite class is the mage because overcasting is risky but fun and rewarding, and because repertoire casting is a lot more forgiving than vancian.

This is just a google spreadsheet, anybody could do this, and it's definitely in Fishfag's purview to do this to try and "win" an argument where he got caught. You're just drawing the noose tighter.

also
>just a spreadsheet
are character sheets less valid because theyre formatted in a speadsheet and not a pdf?


Seriously tho, youre attacking shadows.
I like acks, and play it regularly.

This was his stalwart henchmen, max daamge.
he was a normal man I got up to level 2, but he was killed, and left us after getting ressurected, because he came back wrong, with "bird parts" filling in the parts that were damaged, making him look like a mangy avian furry.
he left on good terms and I might be able to hire him again.

yeah, he went from posting fake broken char sheets (cant even into BX), and a week later he's posting levelled ACKS chars, cleanly organized. kek, you seriously need meds dude.

I cant even imagine what youre mad about
>somebody used apostrophes?!?
>somebody posted about what they use as iron ration then asked about what others use?!?
>somebody has a character in a spreadsheet?!?
>somebody has a character in COMIC SANS?!?!
REEEEEEE

for real, talk about games.
Ive explained my iron rations, what do you use?
Ive discussed gaze attack chances, how do you rule them?
Ive said why I prefer tiered reaction rolls, care to weigh in on your preference toward them?
>>
Reposting this because these threads need talk about games. Something I can think of that you could justify tracking torches (how many you have and how long they last) would be something like what you see in Alone in the Dark: Illumination https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLogNWdLsq4 [Embed] The game itself is clearly crap but the idea of foes being weaken by light stuck with me since hearing about his game. I would make the area windy or have a torrent downpour so the torches last only for a very short time and because they have so few torches the player would have to pick how and when they fight. This would only be in one or two area as gimmick stuff only really works if done very rarely.

You forgot the apostrophe this time, fishfag.
>>
>>97227301
Youre deranged, man. Please just talk about games in any way instead of drama posting.
Or dont, its your house too, and if you want to shit on the floor, we cant stop you.


picrel is another indispensable resource imo, from dragon mag. as a kid I could never figure out how to balance these values so Id just wing it, and it never felt right.
>>
>>97227312
Forgot the apostrophes again. Maybe try to not impersonate /osrg/ if you don't wanna get slapped down like the degenerate little fuckwit you are.
>>
>>97227315
You've lost the plot entirely, Im afraid.

Care to discuss BX or 1e instead of drama posting? Or perhaps you'd rather take this to a proper /osrg/ of your choice?
>>
>>97227326
Oh you remembered the apostrophe this time! It's too late though fishfag you've already been caught. Better luck next falseflag thread.
>>
>>97227285
If you see all posts as peepee poopoo you should probably be somewhere where being able to read is not required.

>he didn;t notice the missing apostrophy

do you actually play games? post a character sheet or discuss games.
my favorite 1e book is fiend folio. it's not the best but its got a lot of monsters that are fond favorites of mine.

That's right, an indentical twin ghost that helps you fight more effectively. Ever wanted to be the asshole who uses an official jojo stand user monster in your proper advanced (1e) game?
its the motherfuckin TWEEN

picrel is a silly flail snail slop from my X1 campaign

great commentary!

What are your thoughts on gaze chance modifiers and on tiered reaction rolls, though?

He gets more pathetic with every day. Buckbroken by the Big ACKS Cock and forced to not just pretend he plays games, but that he plays a game he LOATHES Lmfao.

I play acks weekly tho. my werewolf fighter, cutter, is at fifth level after almost a year of play (we've missed a few sessions and large party numbers led to smaller shares).
I still have barely cracked the JJ but the RR has helped me grow a lot as a dm, particularly with the combat manuevers, and I really like the MM.

HOWEVER, I do not like how he renamed so many monsters for no fucking reason.
>horse?
nope, its, 'equine'!
>gelatinous cube?
nope, its, 'mass, gelatinous'!
fuckin dumb lmao
>>
>>97227397
You don't play games, you failed fishfag. I'm going to make sure your thread dies btw.
>>
>>97227405
That'd fine, this isn't mine and its clearly a hijack thread.
Regardless, let's talk about 1e advanced or acks while we're here, no?

What are your thoughts on gaze chance modifiers and on tiered reaction rolls?
I dont mind restating my opinions on them if you'd like
>>
>>97227413
>T-that's fine, I was only begging you to talk about games because... Well just because!
Fishfag can't go 2 seconds without lying. It's required by his deformed fishbrain.
>>
>>97227429
Good insight!
Personally, I like using the mm2 gaze attack table because it makes the ability feel *feel* more deadly, while actually making it slightly easier, and rewarding/punishing shielding and surprise, respectively.

Tangentially, do you prefer active attack gaze, or 'always on'? I think always-on is better with the table, and active attack is better without it.

But then, do you make an active gaze attack against *everyone*, or one target, or a cone, etc?
>>
Im thinking about making the roll for a WM happen each turn rather than every other turn, but rather than a guaranteed WM per se, it will be a roll on a table, with a possible monster.
tentatively:
1-2 Monster
3-4 Sign of monster
5 Haphazard (brick falls on head, etc)
6 Misleading sign of monster

Not looking to reinvent the wheel, just shaking up my play a bit.
>>
>>97226728
No thread question? I guess I will ask a question then.
>How do you run Fish People in your games?
Fish people are one of my favorite enemy types in general. Most of the time I have them either on a coast or they will climb up and attack boats that are sailing near their lairs. I think soon I will recreate a Shadow over Innsmouth for my players.
>>
>>97227525
I mentioned using buzzsaw mantis shrimps before, but piranha swarms are great too. personally id never include fish"""people""" in my games, disgusting to even ponder them
