Tell me why you love Old School Revival/Renaissance/Resurrection/Rewind/Return/Remix/Retribution/Redeployment/Riff/RelaxDontDoIt games. That's including all D&Ds before 3e and any games based off of them.

And if you actually hate them, lets talk things out. There's more to the OSR than what those weird guys hanging in the /osrg/ seem to have a mind it should be, and the ultimate goal of all gaming, OSR or otherwise, should always be finding what's the most fun. Maybe that means not an OSR game for you, but even so I think there's some good wisdom that can be found where games came from that can help where they're going.

Welcome to the latest in a seemingly endless series of fishfag schizo hijack attempts of /osrg.

The real thread can be found here.

I play a bunch of OSR games.
I've played every edition of D&D and run most of them, and right now I've got a BECMI game set in Mystara and a 2e game in Faerun (Cormyr), and a bunch of random pick-up games from time to time, usually to test out a new system.
I'm running the games I am because my friends are nerds, the kind with stacks of old Dragon magazines and who debate endlessly over whether they'd rather give a rimjob to Gygax or Arneson. To be absolutely honest, I could probably run anything and they'd still have fun, but I've got the old books and I might as well put them to use.
The Mystara campaign materials are so underappreciated. My players are deadset on making their own empire.

Nat 20's are auto hit. I put that shit in every game that uses a d20 that I run, even if it doesn't have it.
>Which sacred cow should always be slaughtered?
I hate hate hate encumbrance. I run games so that if the players are thinking "ugh how much am i carrying am i carrying to much" then that means they need to get raped by a giant scorpion so they think about that instead. I never actually check my players if they're carrying too much.

The maps are great.

I wish I still had some of my old poster maps. I'm tempted to go to a print shop and just getting a bunch printed, though it's gonna cost me like 40 bucks each.

Doesn't half the non-equipment item design revolve around that you are limited on what you can carry by encumbrance?
>>
>>98007107
OSR is stupid. Books are books. Read 'em and if you wanna play a game, play it. OSR is an attempt to redefine how we played TSR D&D according to nonsense.

What's good about TSR-era D&D is the settings.

I think the vancian casting is the one that kills it for most folks. If you remove it, it no longer feels like d&d

>>98007223
I think encumbrance needs to be kept simple. If you’re counting how many pounds you’re carrying then ya that’s too much. My preferred way is slot based encumbrance (like STR + half of CON = equipment slots) where people still need to make a choice about what to carry, but aren’t busting out their calculators
>>
>>98007335
NTA, but OSR makes sense in what it is. It's a recreation of pre 3e rulesets, or game styles. It's just a genre of games.

I do agree the settings are the best thing about TSR. I love so many of those, and you can play a setting with near any system.
>>
>>98007371
BTA, but that is soild but should be about how much you carry more than pure pounds. As a GM you can always go "no you can't carry two 80 pound items and the rest of your gear"
>>
>>98007377
>NTA, but OSR makes sense in what it is. It's a recreation of pre 3e rulesets, or game styles. It's just a genre of games.
Retclones I get. But OSR isn't just that. It's a recreation of how people imagine games used to be played but rarely-if-ever actually were. It's a very narrow way of playing those games.
>>
>>98007107
>That's including all D&Ds before 3e and any games based off of them.
That's incorrect. This is a false definition of OSR which you've made up on your own. You ought to know better than to try to autistically push this across the board.

>>
>>98007388
Yes and no, some groups do that but many do not. The games themselves can vary wildly. Look at C&C, it's a neo clone, then jump to stuff like the black hack or black sword hack or to stars without number.

All those have different ideas on what the "old school" playstyle is. Some think lethal and gritty, others think "simple system". It's just a wide bunch of slightly related games

There's plenty of good kernels of mechanical philosophy in OSR games. I almost bust a nut when I start a game and the players just pick from a handful of classes and we start actually playing in under half an hour.

Ugh, my condolences. It is hard to break new gamers who came in with 5e from 5e. I managed it twice by switching them to savage worlds as it wasn't like d&d. One of those groups I was then able to get to try Beyond the wall and a short game of the black hack.

Our current game is sci-fi or I would totally do spelljammer as our next game. But I try to make sure the new games are very different from the last campaign, ya know?

Really any. Dark Sun lets you take any dungeon, shove it in the desert, and call it an ancient ruin. Maybe throw some extra sand on it.

I actually threw White Plume Mountain into a Dark Sun campaign just for kicks, though I might have fucked up a bit because the three main treasures might be too much for the setting.

As for good megadungeons, I don't really know any. I generally think they're overrated as a concept.
>>
On the topic of Dark Sun. I love that damned setting, it's D&D mad max. It twisted races and classes away from the d&d norm and would have went farther if TSR didn't force them to include some things.

This setting is what sparked my love of non standard fantasy. It's why my own homebrews are not standard, I love that it twisted things.

I have such fun memories of my old group mocking the idea they should fear halfings. Two of them got eaten. After that they were terrified of the little fuckers lol

As I said, I have no clue about published dungeons or the early mods. I got into d&d about 90 or 91 and it was my 3rd RPG. So I just made my stuff up. Why buy an adventure with my limited funds when I could get a source book or a setting book or often the battletech minis I needed to complete one of my companies.

As such, I never touched the D&D mods

DarkSun basically just being "Brom, please draw us a setting" makes me wish that was the way most settings got made. Artist-first, instead of writer-first.

Let me say with all my soul...FUCK KENDER. Just fucking no.

I don't think so, DS had a very unique set up. I know FR a lot of the cultures came from earth that got star gated in. I only know surface stuff for many other settings so I am unsure.

Also DS dragons are fucking nuts. I also love the very concept of preserver and defilers. Also elves being tall shifty fuckers that ran everywhere will always be fun to me

I wish something interesting to say happened in White Plume itself, but the players went through it in a pretty straightforward fashion. It was when they left that they started acting like they thought that they had become gods.

That makes the whole "halflings are cannibalistic" extra upsetting.
Darksun halflings ironically would probably be the last of the races to turn cannibalistic. They've have by far the lowest caloric needs, and likely could endure a state of starvation for considerably longer before they decided to take a taste of the forbidden pork.

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans? Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, Vaporeon are an average of 3”03’ tall and 63.9 pounds, this means they’re large enough to be able handle human dicks, and with their impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can be rough with one. Due to their mostly water based biology, there’s no doubt in my mind that an aroused Vaporeon would be incredibly wet, so wet that you could easily have sex with one for hours without getting sore. They can also learn the moves Attract, Baby-Doll Eyes, Captivate, Charm, and Tail Whip, along with not having fur to hide nipples, so it’d be incredibly easy for one to get you in the mood. With their abilities Water Absorb and Hydration, they can easily recover from fatigue with enough water. No other Pokémon comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you pull out enough, you can make your Vaporeon turn white. Vaporeon is literally built for human dick. Ungodly defense stat+high HP pool+Acid Armor means it can take cock all day, all shapes and sizes and still come for more

3e can be OSR, that's sort of what made "d20-based OSR games" a reality. But, it's still 3e being used to capture the spirit of material printed before 3e came out.

>West Marches is more OSR than Ravenloft.
Now you might have gone a step too far. I'm not sure though, because if you mean Ravenloft the adventure, that's pretty much firmly OSR. Ravenloft the setting... well, most of it is pretty OSR. There's some stuff that came out in the 90's like The Masque of the Red Death that doesn't feel like it even wants to be related to D&D, but those are the exception rather than the rule.

What counts as a sacred cow?

>>
>>98007960
Looking back, it's kind of amazing how many spells were largely unchanged between 2e and 3e.

They're such totally different systems, but just about every AD&D spell made its way into 3e even if the original spell's purpose was nowhere near as important. Like Tenser's Floating Disc. Or Light.

Not in ACKS II. In ACKS II the Thief is great. Macris's many genius innovations with darksense, and the ability to hastily hide, search, pick locks, sneak, and trapbreak make it a FANTASTIC class.

And don't get me started on Hijinks, special downtime activities for Thieves.

Really the best version of the Thief in any edition.

Macris is an awesome game designer.

Supposing that really happened, you were probably doing some weaselly shit like trying to use the publication date of the Rules Cyclopedia (1991 compilation of Basic, essentially unchanged since 1983) to argue for the inclusion of 2e (1989, shat all over AD&D and definitively killed the old-school style in the AD&D line), rather than just be a peaceful and harmless Basic enjoyer.

NTA, but that is my experience as well. Those who lock themselves into one game or one way of playing are never open to new ideas. You can't correct them as they are "correct" and everyone else is "doing it wrong" or "stupid".

It's why they hate OSR games, those evolve, they try new things, they mix and match rules and mechanics and share ideas. To those folks, that is the most wrong you can ever be.

Sure, but you can't compare the works of the genius Macris (= My Christ, i.e. Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior) with those of mortal men. They're simply on a different level.

>>98008432
I've always thought every class should be able to do backstabs (and rogues maybe getting slightly more damage with them), but they're not a combat thing and instead a way to let players end fights with weak shit quick.

Instead, they've made it just this dumb damage source for rogues, and they can't take it away because the whole rogue identity is built on it now.

That's right, people forget this, but 3e was actually created to get back to the old school spirit after the storyfagging Mormon catastrophe that was 2e. Ultimately they blew it and had to wait for Marshall and Finch to salvage the true spirit of D&D, but their hearts were in the right place.

I'm gonna disagree here. It's a terrible spell, right up until it's not. A 1st level spell slot that gets you 4d4+4 or 5d4+5 auto hitting damage that's stopped by all of 2 non-spell things in the game (Brooch of Shielding, Magic Resistance, but MR just fucks casters in general) that almost nothing is outright immune to, and with a minimum possible casting time so it's next to impossible to interrupt the attack, is a really fucking good deal. It's ~15 points of solid, reliable damage, and that's enough to always matter, especially up until about early 2e when they start inflating monster HP.

>This spell prevents fog, rain, waves, hail, and other forms of precipitated water from touching the person or small object upon which the spell is cast. Precipitation comes within an inch of the body or object, but strikes an invisible barrier and does not penetrate to the clothes or skin. The spell is also effective against intermittent wetting by waves. The barrier does not affect any type of missile or other object.

>An individual under this spell can see more clearly than most in driving rain because none gets into his eyes. An individual or object struck by a wave remains dry, but if immersed in the ocean, the mass of water is sufficient to overcome the barrier and the individual or object becomes wet, ending the spell immediately. The material component of this spell is a small square of cloth that has been treated with oil so as to become water-repellent.

Yeah in 2e they're allies of the Elves during the Inhuman Wars. They're just hardworkers who form mercenary clans and make great crews. There's nothing about slavery or what-the-hell-ever 5e did to them. I love spelljammer, and so I got the 5e special edition. And I was just so. fucking. mad. Aside from the good art? It was a god damn travesty. The DMG straight up advises the DM to "just get the ships into contact then use enemy ships as dungeons, lol." MOTHERFUCKER, we are playing space pirates. How do you not include ship-to-ship combat in your fucking game about fucking space pirates!? I have not bought a WotC product since. My anger is not abated. I really badly wanted to like it. Hell I though the new Strahd was rad and I was so excited to see Spelljammer hit a new generation. And then this bullshit. Spelljamming no longer happens in space? Ship to ship combat isn't a thing in a game about pirate ships in space? And the elves get level 1 teleport at will? Hey here's an idea, how about you make Thrikreen universally telepathic instead of speaking in chirps and clicks because no one ever liked Chewbacca or R2D2 or anything. Motherfucking motherfuckers.

To be fair, even low-level 5e adventurers are so stupidly strong on an individual level that a boarding action is probably one of the better ideas. The kind of power adventurers personally wield would probably change up the math on how ships would engage, particularly if there's almost no chance to destroy the opposing ship before they manage to board. The problem with spelljammer ships has always been that they just don't have the kind of firepower they need.

To be even more fair, it's dumb and lazy and stupid to omit ship-to-ship combat when that shit is dope as hell.

Annoyingly true. But it does work if you meticulously use distance and convert Hull Points as 10 hit points. A balista now does 1d4x10, so it's meaningful again. The other piece is you gotta bring back 2e's rule that attune to a helm strips all spell slots from a pilot from 24 hours after.

>>The other piece is you gotta bring back 2e's rule that attune to a helm strips all spell slots from a pilot from 24 hours after.

Ya know, with cantrips at lest they are not totally defenseless though. They have lost heavy hitting power but still have something
>>
>>98009430
It means they will claim you are the same person as everyone else not thing. If you like 2e anything you are this one guy. They will claim you and I are the same person
>>
>>98009443
We just had this argument last session. Nope: no cantrips either. The whole point of the rule is "casters can't cast for 24 hours." I'm not buying it. Wanna pilot? You aren't using magic until you take a day off.
>>
>>98009454
k. When I say "I don't care," I don't mean "i'm performing my disdain." I mean "I don't care."
>>
>>98009455
I am with your players on this one. By the rules they don't count as spells and do not take up spell slots.

But hey your the GM, do your call in your game.
>>
>>98009473
I mean realistically Cantrips are equivalent to "unlimited 1st level spells" in 2e. Following the spirit of "we're using 2e's rules" has gotta mean "you don't get those either." Cantrip IS a 1st level spell, in 2e, which you didn't get for 24 hours. Sorry... yeah: we literally just had this argument Sunday and it got a little heated.

>>98009396
In the grand scheme of things, it's not that bad. In a world where a monkey could just be a monkey, no one would think twice about it.
It's too bad it's not that world. I remember a pitch meeting many, many years ago where my team had to design two fictional football teams, and we had a really good thing going until one guy said we probably couldn't use a monkey as one of the team mascots. A few guys fought for the monkey idea, but in almost immediate hindsight it was definitely the right move to just shift gears. The Montreal (or wherever it was) Monkeys sound cute until you've got a bunch of black athletes running around while the announcer screams "Look at those monkeys run!"
I almost feel bad for the Hadozee guy. He shouldn't have changed the lore because it was fine as it was, but I want to believe there's still someone in this current age who's just so beautifully innocent that he could take a bunch of deck apes and make them ex-slaves and that would just be that.
>>
>>98009462
Of course you don't. That's why you have to announce it repeatedly.
>>
>>98009482
I can see it getting heated as we and 5e handle them differently. Under 5e they sent spells, they are more like instead abilities. They work off a whole other system than spellcasting. they even scale differently then spells.

It's just one of those things that use the same names, but are very different things between editions
>>
>>98009555
I said it once and then clarified my meaning, anon. That's a pretty normal-ass amount of talking like a human being. Frankly, if you had half an IQ, you'd be able to tell from the vastly different syntax that there are at least 3 other initerlocutors besides yourself, in this conversation.
>>
>>98009550
Oh boy, they monkey thing would have been so fucking bad. Just ouch.

>>but I want to believe there's still someone in this current age who's just so beautifully innocent that he could take a bunch of deck apes and make them ex-slaves and that would just be that.

It could be that or it could be someone who is a bit autistic and just didn't see the things how everyone else does. That is far more common than folks like to admit

Sorry guys, but this is an OSR thread, so you're going to have to take your off-topic spellyammering somewhere else, such as to a 2e thread, as 2e is not OSR and doesn't belong in this thread.

>>98009139
This post is off-topic, for example.

>>98009267
And this one too.
>>
>>98009278
And this. Also, I'm going to have to ask you not to bring up 5e either, as, althought it was inspired by the OSR movement and so much closer to OSR than 2e is, it still isn't actually an OSR game and doesn't belong here, in the OSR thread.
>>
>>98009286
This is also off-topic.
>>
>>98009325
This one is on-topic, though.
>>
>>98009362
This is off-topic as well.
>>
>>98009455
I personally tend to call things in the player's favor on these sort of things, largely because of the question of how much is an argument worth.

On one side, the "strip a caster of ALL spells" is a pretty nasty side-effect in 5e where the expectation is that even drained of all other abilities they still have a small package that they can always rely on having. The reason they always have those abilities to begin with is because having more options makes the game more fun. The All-spell slot drain already kills any big plans for high stakes combat, but losing the cantrips as well is taking away something that, well, as coddling as it sounds, they might actually be entitled to. Cantrips are abilities that drain virtually no power at all. Just shoot Ray's of Frosts at the sun every six seconds until it freezes. MP-wise, they cost 0, so even with 0 MP n the tank someone should still be able to cast them.

On the other side, it definitely makes the cost more interesting and impactful, and may be (arguably) more lore-accurate. The ultimate question though is if that's worth the players becoming disgruntled because having to take a day of rest already feels mostly like an annoyance and losing cantrips makes it extra annoying. There's ways to make it more than just "you lose a day being mostly useless" and to help the players explore their powerless state or to really hit home the cost they're paying, but I'm not really sure if anyone's interested in that side of things.

Like the other guy said, you do you, but I hope there's something bigger behind it than just "It sucks for you but that's just the way things are."
>>
>>98009380
And this one. Incidentally, there are solid ship-to-ship combat rules in OD&D, so if you simply played an OSR edition instead of a castrated one, you wouldn't have this problem.
>>
>>98009384
This is not old-school art.
>>
>>98009394
2e is not an OSR game, sorry, so it doesn't belong here in the OSR thread. Take it elsewhere.

Editing in 5e books is, needless to say, entirely outside the scope of this thread. Try /5eg/.

By the rules, cantrips do not exist. If you want to discuss them, go to another, more relevant thread, or start a new thread about them especially.

Sorry, but cantrips are not part of this thread's topic. Please discuss them elsewhere.

Albeit technically a traditional game, football is entirely outside the scope of this whole board, and is to be discussed on /sp/.

No he doesn't. It's just off-topic nonsense.

>>98009774
I think the secret really is just to ignore them. They really did try their worst and all it did was make them look pretty ridiculous, I think I might actually screenshot parts of this thread to show other people what happens if you just ignore these trolls and how furious they get if you just keep on trucking and just have fun doing what we came here to do anyway.

>>98009800

Aaaand that's bump limit. In conclusion, 2e is not old-school.

>>98007189
No, there you only get to either be butthurt 2e is OSR or cry about someone who said something mean about a fishing story.
>>
>>98009838
I think there might need to be some sort of split.
One thread where we talk shit about the trolls and call out what they're doing, another thread just used to discuss games, and both featuring no direct replies to any of the trolls because they're definitely going to shitpost in a fury in both because that's all they can do at this point.

>>98009849
Someone already had that idea.

>>
>>98009859
I mean, they tried in there for a while, but it really seems like they realized they just constantly lose if they try to argue so they're really just going for a "shitpost any OSR discussion to death" approach until they make their stunted version of the /osrg/ the only choice.

Yeah, they get more aggressive the more conversation that happens. They tried do damned hard to kill it here and failed
>>
>>98009923
Looking up through it, it's actually kind of an amazing thread, because you can see the troll going through different stages of grief, trying out every trick he had to try and get people to pay attention to him.
There's even a few really, really sad posts where it seems like he's genuinely trying to get involved in the discussion and get his own opinion heard, bless his little heart.
>>
>>98009947
There are at lest 3 to 4 of em, not including the new one that started posting after 11 pm EST. They were getting really annoyed everyone mostly ignored them and talked around them.

We had done good spell hammer and DS conversation

>>98009826
Does seem like it at this point.

Lol, the /osrg/ troll is still trying even after realizing he got played.

I find a flaw in your reasoning. I do not think that being able to do more is always more fun all the time. I don't think non-stop power tripping is all that fun. I think it's dull. I think D&D becoming something that contains no real challenge, that players assumed to be able to do anything they want, all the time, makes it bland and boring. I think learning to work creatively within limitations can be fun and rewarding. I think limitations like "better figure out how to time your arrivals so you can rest for a day, or rely on something other than casters" is fun.

You're so down the rabbit hole you're posting whatever that is. For what? To defend some personal take on a roleplaying game? To feel better about yourself by imagining someone get mad over posts online? What are you doing with yourself to end up here posting that?
You don't even enjoy talking about the game you supposedly like, you just want to try and make people upset because they enjoy a game you don't like. What are you doing? You're an adult doing this. What would people you care about think of this? People you know?

No, nobody cares what you like. Just stop calling it OSR, and stop making these fake OSR threads, and you'll be fine instantly. Post a Spelljammer thread. Don't say some shit about 2e being old.school in it. Don't seethe about /osrg/ in the OP. You'll be able to talk about Spelljammer all you want.
