[Advertise on 4chan]


A place for discussion of pre-WotC D&D, OSR retroclones, and OSR-adjacent games.

>Is this a general?
No, just a place to discuss OSR and related content
>Isn't there an OSR thread already?
No, current regulars of /osrg/ have made it clear they only want to see a specific subset of OSR games in the thread.
This means the name /osrg/ is somewhat misleading but that's their problem

Please report and ignore any trolling.

>You should look up what hijacking means
A difficulty with figurative language, including metaphors, idioms, and sarcasm, is a common trait associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

In the context of ASD, this is often linked to differences in social communication and information processing:

>Literal Processing
Many autistic individuals process information concretely. For example, the phrase "pull yourself together" might be visualized as physically reassembling parts rather than regaining emotional control.

>Theory of Mind
Understanding metaphors often requires intuiting the speaker's intent or the underlying social context, which can be challenging for those who struggle with "reading between the lines."

>Hyper-Systemizing
A focus on factual, predictable data can make the ambiguity of poetic or abstract language feel illogical or confusing.

There aren't good, free tools. Good, cheap, fast: pick two. If you want cheap, you've gotta give up either good or fast. So go w/ gimp and literally hand draw every little thing and you can have good. Or go w/ some shitty lookin tile generator and you can have fast. But cheap, good and fast? Not an option.

The OSR refers specifically to the first decade of D&D, spanning from the 1974 original release through the early 1980s Basic and Expert sets. It excludes AD&D 2nd Edition, as that era marked a fundamental shift in design and publication philosophy away from the original framework. This definition tethers the movement strictly to that initial ten-year historical window and its specific mechanical lineage.

>>98004569
Wow, that's completely wrong.

It's pre-2000 RPGs for several reasons.

The first is that while pre-2000 D&D is generally compatible between all the editions, 3rd edition presented a fairly big change. That means that material within the OSR can be changed between systems fairly easily, but it's the 3rd edition divide that presents a significant paradigm shift and makes it incompatible with OSR material.

The second is that the OSR began as a reaction to WotC dropping all support for pre-WotC editions. The "revival" was people hoping to keep pre-WotC editions from disappearing, since many of them had long since been out of print, and there were no signs WotC had any plans to reprint them and create competition for their 3rd edition. These were fears that were expressed and still remain in the archives of several forums.

The third is that 2e has been part of the OSR community since it began, and with the overwhelming majority not just including it, we even saw Dragonsfoot go from a 1e-focused website to a OD&D+B/X+1e+2e website, alongside many other related clones and inspired games. Outside of Drragonsfoot, 2e was always a part of OSR discussions on Enworld as well as Wizard's own forums, and even on 4chan in the original /osrg/.

As for trying to say 2e is where the OSR should define the split and 2e should be excluded, 2e came out in 1989, and there was no mention of an revival until 2002. That's more than a decade of relative silence, and with no one claiming that 1e was "old school" in the face of 2e. Most people would assume OD&D if anyone said "old school" in 2e's heyday. The idea that anyone defines "Old School" as "pre-2e" is effectively non-existent, which makes defining "Old School Revival/Renaisance/Resurrection/Robocop" as "pre-2e" fairly ridiculous.
The differences between 1e and 2e are also not that dramatic (less than the differences between 1e and B/X, for instance).

To be fair, the Beholder is one of the better original D&D monsters.

All the best D&D monsters are taken from mythology/other sources, so when it comes to monsters made by D&D for D&D, it's actually some pretty slim pickings.

Beholders started out a little on the weak side design-wise, but being the face of D&D and getting so much attention because of it has really given them a chance to be developed and to shine from the reiterations.

They're like Superman. Superman is a pretty bad superhero design, just a random assortment of powers stuffed inside blue spandex with a cape, but his status as the face of DC comics has given him an endless series of comic writers reading his stuff and thinking to themselves "I could write a story about this guy that's actually good."

Sure, there's plenty of bad beholder interpretations, just like there's plenty of bad Superman comics, but there's also lots of versions of them where their appearance, identity, and lore have been vastly improved while still miraculously retaining their core identifying characteristics.

That's so true. Don't you think the idea is better than the execution of every one of the 140+ kits?I don't like that many of them have no mechanical effects, but also the mechanical effects are often broken or too weak, plus I like how the fluff gives the kit depth but it makes the kits too tied to a specific setting so I don't like it.

This is likely trolling but, I like the idea of kits. The execution was all over the place but the concept was good. Classes are very restricting, started gaming with classless systems, MechWarrior in particular. So I always found classes to be very restricting.

Kits, as an idea allowed a always to shift those restrictions, to better fit a class with an idea or concept. I think those lead to 3es prestige classes, which lead to Pathfinders archetypes and 5es subclasses. I think the PF1e archetypes were just 2e kits but much better integrated and lacking the some of the over restrictive parts.

So personally, I think if you were to redo kits, I would go something closer to achtypes.

>>98004951
The whole driving concept behind the Neogi was thinking that mind flayers weren't evil enough and there needed to be an even more evil race. I think that kind of sheds an unfortunate light on how Spelljammer really didn't do as much with the pre-existing races/monsters beyond establishing that they had always been a part of the setting and giving them some themed space ships. They didn't want to step on the toes too much of what had already been established.

But, to make up for that, the Spelljammer original monsters can get pretty wild.
>>
>>98005073
Have pity on the retard, he literally hasn't got any better arguments. He has to make an NTR convention into some sort of unassailable authority, because if he were to admit that they're just saying that shit for commercial reasons he might have to acknowledge that the entire actual OSR community disagrees with him.
>>
>>98005087
Right, which covers the entire span of old-school D&D, and then the clones are those games trying to recreate those old.schol editions. Those put together, and material written for them in the form of adventures ad the like, constitute the OSR.

This is true, some of the issue is SJ was tied to all existing worlds, except Athas. But SJ was a bunch of great ideas they never fucking used. I mean tired before how blend the space elves where, and the whole goblin wars, and many races they put in space but was meh

I used to say that "AD&D" 2e was the worst of all the games published under the D&D brand, but I have to withdraw my claim. It's not even a game in the first place. Just bullshit setting books to read and collect.

5e's archtypes are liked fixed kits.

They also tried to do the same with races a bunch of times, where instead of just having all the abilities be front loaded, races would get more abilities as they leveled up. I don't think any of the attempts to do this really worked out that well.

I still don't think I've ever seen any good answer to the race question. I've seen lots of really dumb answers (some varieties of race-as-class being the worst), a few ones that I can live with, but none that even came close to solving the continued legacy of issues.

I agree the trues to end front loading just fail. I do think a better approach is one a few OSR games have used and that is less racial abilities, not more. Do elves really need pluses with blades and shit? Do dwarves really need stone working built into them?

Putting a ceiling on demihuman level progression to counteract all the many benefits given to them is likewise a solution to a selfmade problem, and other justifications sound more like excuses to me. It's a holy cow from a time when dwarf wizards sounded unfathomable by the standard Tolkien inadvertently laid out. Such restrictions are entirely dependent on milieu.

Yeah, It's mostly just a little BX game that you play as people from a village,v with a little hex crawling around the village. It has an interesting character generation method of every "class" had a playbook of random roll charts that determines you background, history, skill and so on.

NTRPGCON is just reflecting the reality that most people consider "old school" D&D to mean "Pre-2000." Most OSR-focused conventions share similar or even looser guidelines.

Nice deflection, but it is using "old-school" in the commonly understood version of the term, which is to say "old" without further qualifiers, not "shorthand for the OSR and nothing but the OSR". It includes some OSR games there, because the OSR is old-school, and it includes many non-OSR games, because not everything ever published before 2000 (e.g., "old", in this context) is OSR.

I'd say that all this sad conversation is doing is showing why the OSR was a bad name for a movement, but 1) of course no one could know that at the time, as it was an organic movement rather than something with a name created via focus groups, and 2) you're being deliberately obtuse rather than "accidentally" misunderstanding. Or is the latest entry in the expanded fishfag cinematic OSR universe that Dawn Patrol and Chill are OSR games?

tl;dr for reading-impaired schizos: old does not = OSR; OSR does not just = old.

You don't actually like what everyone else in the world thinks that the OSR is, and using that name is a source of endless frustration for you. That's why the smart solution is just to be honest and call yourselves a bunch of First Decade Faggots, especially because you're so gungho about how "4chan's definition of OSR is unique and special."

It's not. 4chan's got the same definition everyone else does, it's just you who's living in your little hugbox and would benefit greatly from not trying to confuse everyone coming here with OSR expectations only to get FDF shit instead.

>>98006361
You, idiot that you are, are hoping to bring up examples to prove that a con does not exclusively run old school games, as if that were some sort of gotcha. But, nowhere was it ever said they did.

Instead, their mission statement is that they focus on them. That's it. The key thing though is how they chose to define what an old school game is, a definition so common that it's only in the hugbox you're so desperate to protect that a different definition exists.
>>
>>98006332
>4chan's got the same definition everyone else does
Right, exactly, that is: the OSR covers only old D&D during the period 1974-1983, played in the style originally intended by its creators, and clones of those editions.

>>
>>98006369
Actually, the /osrg/ is a nice, lively general, but slow as expected of a niche form of play. Nothing wrong with that. Back when we'd just started the general and there were no trolls or 2efags because it hadn't attracted negative attention for its pleasant climate yet, we routinely had to bump it off page 10 several times per thread.
>>
>>98006392
No, that's just you handful of trolls. Everyone else on 4chan, including the people you're so scared of you've spent hours/days trolling their thread, just uses the common and sane definition found everywhere else.

>>98006416
Fishfag's continued argument of "now that I'm not constantly trolling the shit out of the thread and constantly being told to fuck off, it sure is slower" is hilariously bizarre and yet not even in the top 10 of best retard logic examples he employs.
>>
>>98006416
Mmm yes, certainly. Definitely, oh yes, everyone believes that. Oh look at the lively discussions going on oh golly, so not forced and desperate at all.

>>
>>98006419
>the people you're so scared of
>>
>>98006419
Nope! Wrong. If you'd ever read that series of blog posts you were linked to earlier, you'd see a large number, probably the majority actually, of the guys who started the OSR comment on the posts, endorse their conclusions, and add even more anecdotes of their own to bolster its conclusions. In other words, everyone who actually likes, cares about or plays OSR games shares the correct pre-DL1 definition. The troll definition is the horseshit you keep spewing, but it can't even be said to be used by a handful of trolls since there's only one of you.
>>
>>98006428
Your argument of "the /osrg/ is alive and unbothered, we're not worried about anything at all, but we're going to keep desperately flooding threads like our lives depend on it" is pretty weak.

>>
>>98006441
>the guys who started the OSR
No, you've just got the K&KA crew, a small group that's been desperate to try and fluff up their importance and pretend they started the OSR when the hard facts pretty much prove they didn't. They're even going out of their way to try and redefine OSR just so that they can try and create a claim that they were first, when they were actually years late to the party.

You've got a picture perfect example of personal propaganda, and you're actually trying to pass it off to the rest of the world like you think that no one might question why guys would want to say they were the first and most important when all outside evidence shows they weren't.

We're flooding the thread because you don't get to make hijack threads of our general and push your fake OSR definition undisturbed, Fishfag. Why would you? Why do you believe you're entitled to do that without interference? I mean, I get that you have some sort of bizarre plot in your head to get other nogames who also don't know anything about the OSR to believe in it and then somehow that's going to let you conquer /osrg/ or whatever, but why do you think we have an obligation to just go along with it?

No, see, you just made that up out of thin air as well, we were actually around to see you do it so you can't expect arguments like that to work. Why would we believe a lie we literally saw you workshop in real time? I get that your autism prevents you from adopting an outside perspective and that you're totally unable to answer the breakfast question, but if you strain both of your neurons, can't you tell that there's somehow *something* wrong with that plan?

You're flooding the thread because you're scared of the idea that what you consider a "hijack" thread could prove to be more popular than the one you're attached to.

There's really no two-ways about it. You've spent way, way too much energy in these threads to try and act like you're not overly concerned about them. Hell, saying you're concerned might have explained a couple posts, but the way you're posts shows you're pretty much terrified.

You know, with absolute certainty, that without you constantly (and I mean constantly. whenever you let up, these threads almost immediately become normal) shitposting in them, they would eclipse your general.

Who says /todd/ had to die? We of the /osrg/ certainly didn't try to kill it, and certainly not by shitposting it down. On the contrary, the last /todd/ seems to have died on the vine from lack of posting; you had a massive long spergout in it, and then after that nobody posted, the thread died of inactivity, and nobody remade it.
>>
>>98006345
Can you please stop talking to them?

Kek, great timing, this timely intervention will definitely prevent the thread from dying in less than 20 posts

>>98006520
>You're flooding the thread because you're scared of the idea that what you consider a "hijack" thread could prove to be more popular than the one you're attached to.
Wrong. It's simply because you're a troll and you don't get to have anything, especially not at our expense. Seethe harder, Fishfag.
>>
>>98006504
todd died because of the sad reality that, while anyone can and should make a general in good faith if the space isn't already being explored by another general, that doesn't guarantee that there's enough of a readership to enable it to survive. It's too bad, because I'd like there to be a home for that sort of thing, if only to keep /osrg clean.

The problem with all the various offshoots of the OSR is that they try to claim some of the mantle of the OSR but in the end are nothing but a loose conglomerate of largely unrelated games, which makes organic cross-talk of the sort that keeps a general alive very difficult. This is why /osrg, rooted in a historical understanding of the OSR and having a firm mission statement where everyone is largely on the same page instead of just operating on vibes, continues to chug along, and of course why fishfag is desperate to parasitize it, because he knows only a handful of people give a shit about 2nd ed.

>>
>>98006529
You definitely tried to kill it. Nothing kills a thread like you being in it. You even made sure to announce you endorsed those threads, which is pretty much guaranteed to drive people away from the thread. And when it became clear it was just you bumping it with the same thread-killing posts you use to bump the /osrg/, that's basically a death sentence. No one wants to take part in a discussion about games with you in it.

Now picture the fact that how this has been playing out in the last two years is a reflection of how he behaves IRL. With this family, at the workplace, in school, and so on.

Imagine having to live your life like that. With no clue how regular people think, how they behave and why, and a complete inability to cope with the challenges of having to exist in neurotypical society.

It's a bit terrifying, really.
>>
>>98006606

Wait, what? Your conspiracy theories are becoming nuttier by the minute, what would we want with /todd/? What the fuck would be the point of posting in an ersatz thread instead of the actual OSR General?

>>
>>98006547
Look.

We all get you HAVE to say this. You have to perform some mental gymnastics to explain why you're so devoted, hell, obsessed with flooding these threads, but your actions speak much, much louder than your words.

You're still on the whole "It's just one guy" thing, something everyone is more than aware of is a lie, including yourself. You're so scared of your "one guy", that having him samefag to himself is such a threat to you that you must spend days and literally thousands of posts trying to stop him. Stop him from... what exactly? Having a pitiful, lonely thread where he just posts back and forth to himself, faking a discussion? That's what you're saying you must stop at the expense of days of your life?

Let's be real. The moment you give up with your flooding, you're going to lose. The forces at play are just stacked against you if allowed to flow freely. You've got a niche definition, are pretty much retarded, and have the personality of an STD. With that being all that's in your arsenal, of course all you can do is keep flooding and hope that your autistic no-life energy wins out.
>>
Oh yeah, and another thing: I noticed not all of you guys are saging every post properly, but you'll want to keep up with that so each one of these tard threads spends as little time on page 1 as possible. Just a suggestion. (Now that we've hit bump limit it doesn't matter of course)
>>
>>98006632
>that's exactly why he wastes so much time trying to force 4chan to be a comprehensible and controllable environment
Absolutely. He's trying to create a predictable and stable environment. And he doesn't realise that maladjusted coping mechanism is making things worse for himself.

Clearly his family never supported him as a kid, and he's never developed a way to behave in socially acceptable manners.
>>
>>98006662
>The moment you give up with your flooding, you're going to lose.

In my opinion, you're stuck. You've got no other options left, other than to allow nature to take its course, which because of your ego you will fight tooth and nail.

But, judging by the math, it's not gonna work out for you. These threads are not going to stop being made any time soon, and your own posts help to keep them lively and prominent while undermining your arguments and helping to show everyone what kind of weird trolls you happen to be when you're not doing your darnedest to pretend to be good boys.
