>What's your favourite campaign setting and why? And please feel free to talk about your homebrewed settings as well.I've always been a proponent of "the best campaign setting is your own". But if I have to go with an official one, it'll probably be Forgotten Realms.
>>97823971/osrg/ here in peace!if we can coexist, we can be happy.
>>97824090I agree. i don't want this thread to go the way /2eg/ did.
>>97823971Forgotten realms. It has so much lore and is so big it gave me so much to play with.
>>97823971I like smelling farts.
>>97824105We should report off topic and edition warning crap
>>97824153what youve just done is a bannable offense
>>97823971more like /told/off discussion, come on you know 2e is not OSR, why do you want to squeeze into OSR
>>97824111>I get it .DS is dark, FR on the other hand while kinda vanilla has so much flavor. You ever get the Volo guides?Only the Waterdeep one so far. How's the other one?
>>97824294Obvious false flag is obvious.
>>97824294fuck off fishfag you esl retard
>>97823971I've enjoyed Dolmenwood the most just because the setting is so complete and I literally don't have to do any work at all to run it. Hexcrawl overland adventures that I just plug dungeons into is great.
>>97824339Dolmenwood's fantastic, but it kinda sets a standard for the density of features per hex that is too high. I'd be concerned that the moment my PCs step out of there I won't be able to keep up with that density, and the world woudl feel empty.
>>97824295I enjoyed them. They always had such fun information in them. I liked the rated inn write ups a lot.
>>97824339That setting looks interesting
>>97823971>What's your favourite campaign setting and why?If I'm being normal about it: Birthright because it's cohesive and I luv me some domain play.If I'm talking in smug hypotheticals; Jakandor, because I've got a terminal hard on for necromancers.
>>97824363Yeah, that's true. It sets a bar that's just too high for hexcrawls that I'll probably be chasing my whole life. I'm looking into Forbidden Lands right now to see if it can scratch the same itch, though I'm not very interested in the Year Zero system. My current Dolmenwood group runs on a bastardized version of Knave that I've strapped Dolmenwood races and classes to (entirely defeating the point of Knave) and we'll probably just keep using that.>>97824387It's pretty cool. It's a haunted fairy tale wood setting with all that that implies. Throw in some noble and elvish politics, some old druidic magic, a heavy dash of Disney's Robin Hood, and top it off with an eldritch horror dark lord and you've got Dolmenwood. Oh and goatmen. Lots of goatmen.
>>97824294osr is a worthless marketing label that doesn't mean anything
>>97824818not really, it's pre-2e systems of D&D
>>97824818>>97824885pls no arguing about osr
I mentioned this in another thread but the Mothership Warden's Operations Manuel is pretty cool. Not a single rule in it, just 60 pages of advice on how to take notes, prep, and run a good session. Most of it isn't even really system specific, though it's definitely sci-fi and horror focused. I wish I had a book like this 15 years ago when I was a new DM. Though at the same time if I WAS a new DM I'm not sure how effectively I would be able to use all this information.
>>97824955mothership isnt /todd/ its /nusr/
>>97824973Gentleman, gentleman, please, this is supposed to be a happy thread.Let's not bicker and argue about /todd/ vs /nusr/ vs /2eg/All 3 of them are being folded into this thread at this point.
>>97824955Mothership looks cool, but a bit too hopeless and incompetent seeming characters for some people. It's got hella good vibes though
>>97825040Yeah it's definitely supposed to be about playing characters in a horror movie who are going to die. It does emphasize the importance of not rolling unless absolutely necessary though, and suggests succeeding but with consequences even when you fail.
>>97825071I get that, which is fine for a one shot. But I like longer campaigns. It's still interesting and a fun read
>>97824138>>97824294>>97824818>>97824885>>97824973Obvious false flag is obvious.
>>97825268frigg off
For the love god stop replying to the troll.
Just flag him for trolling
>>97825290Don't worry I Anon of House /tg/ will post something good. First one is a site I found years ago. http://www.peldor.com/ I have posted it before but I think it is a good read. The other one is a site I learned about just today https://geocities.restorativland.org/ the old internet had lots of D&D and other fantasy stuff so something like this is useful for those looking for idea for their games.
>>97825405announcing reports like this is a bannable offense FYI
