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, the current regulars of /osrg/ have made it clear they only want to see a narrow 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.Previous Thread>>98532925TQWhat's your favorite houserule and what does it bring to the table?
>TQI'll startno "roll for initiative"if the party sees something they can react to they act immediately if they are caught by surprise, the monsters go firstthen it's just alternating orderadditionally players go either in a "hot potato" sequence>that's it for my turn, now Jeffor simply clockwise additionally spellcasting monsters telegraph if they are starting to cast a spell at the beginning of player's turnwhy? because it significantly speeds up the game
>>98630908Reminds me of ICRPG handles turn order I appreciate it cuz it means before the session even starts you can kind of plan how combat is gonna go just based on where everyone sits
Give me ONE single reason to do not use the Hyperborea d12 Thief system instead of the %

>>98630878It's definitely "not a general", but you need to have at least two of them on the board all day every day, and currently three?

Im looking to get my first play experince for OSE and maybe DCC soon Does anyone have any good quests for someone new to this stuffAssume if you will there will be players who havent played a TTRPG there
>>98631511Yeah, the quest is that they start outside of a dungeon and they are poor and need money so they go inside the dungeon can get money and come back to town with it
>>98631535Will there be dragons in it?
>>98631491Please understand, Anon. This man has a brain problem. He has some sort of crazed vendetta against the OSR General, and the only way he can vent his frustration is by posting a ton of samefaggotry.
>>98631511Completely new?Tomb of the Serpent King is about as deliberately new GM/player friendly as things get, but it's both not a TSR adventure and not all that great beyond really babying both the GM and players. If you or your players have some form of learning disability, it might be worth a look.https://www.scribd.com/document/964904839/Olde-Swords-Reign-Tomb-of-the-Serpent-KingsIf you want an extremely "traditional" way to start things off, Keep on the Borderlands is a Gygax-written adventure and served as the intro adventure for likely the majority of groups back when Old School was just... School. It is also just okay, but it definitely feels like a classic adventure to the point where you could even call it prototypical.https://archive.org/details/tsr09034b2ddadventure013keepontheborderlandsYou might want to take a look at Against the Cult of the Reptile God. It was made for AD&D, but it doesn't take much to use it in B/X. If Keep would be the vanilla way to start things, Cult would be the french vanilla, since it's a little more nuanced and complex in terms of situation but still very much an intro adventure. https://archive.org/details/tsr09063n1againstthecultofthereptilegod/mode/2uphttps://bxblackrazor.blogspot.com/2010/07/bx-against-cult-of-reptile-god.html
>>98630949yeah, ICRPG has a lot of influence on TTRPG design in general but the game I stole it from that inspired me to use this rule is actually Into the Odd
>>98631199Its not an osr thread. Its an >I'm mad at /osrg/ general The last one had some real bangers in terms of bad advice and dumb bullshit.like these >>98631645Its like watching a bad version of reddit.
>>98631166is it just the same system but with 1/12 granularity instead of 1%?please do explain what's so special about it, it looks interesting but shipment and taxes in my cunt makes getting the books highly unlikely
>>98631664You're here just to try and poison this thread. Fuck off, no one is going to listen to you.
>>98631656>ICRPG has a lot of influence on TTRPG design in generallmaolol, even
>>98631670NTA, but no one is going to listen to anything in here, what's your point?
>>98631670How could someone poison this thread? It's already dead.
Reminder to ignore the butthurt troll coming from the /osrg/. He's just mad that he could never figure out how to argue around someone like Finch objectively stating 2e is OSR, which completely uproots all the troll's insane bullshit of how he thinks the OSR started as an anti-2e movement.
>>98631690>as an anti-2e movement.Man, all that butthurt makes you fucking retarded
>>98631511ehhhhh... a quest as in a published adventure?[1/2]seconding Tomb of the Serpent King as other anon said, but I would warn you that the classic adventures he mentioned would take quite a bit of timejust so you knowboth of them can easily stretch well beyond 6 4-hour sessionalso properly converting from A to B/X D&D (i.e. OSE) is not as trivial as the anon makes it out to be so I wouldn't make it my first game would I start out unless you can find a conversion of that module onlinefor the same reason I wouldn't recommend Shadowdark adventures for an absolute beginnerI'm thinking of something that can be run in about 2 sessions and is free of charge, and Cult of the Green Skull comes to mind from BFRPG adventure anthology 3 (a free download from BFRPG website). It doesn't require any conversion (but you have to use the ascending AC rule). The adventure is pretty brutal, remember reaction rolls and moral rolls, but pretty decent. The sucky part is that it doesn't come with a random encounter table. But for the first ever game it is not critical, you can consider this to be training wheels.
>>98631756>also properly converting from A to B/X D&D (i.e. OSE) is not as trivial as the anon makes it out to be so I wouldn't make it my first game would I start out unless you can find a conversion of that module onlineThat's what >https://bxblackrazor.blogspot.com/2010/07/bx-against-cult-of-reptile-god.htmlis.
>>98631690>the I didn't post once in your last farce and it still sucked so you're going to have to get used to everyone knowing how much of a liar you are. Cute you tried to spam puckee slop in the actual /osrg/ to be a shithead though.
>>98631756[2/2]you can never go wrong with some OSE adventuresspecifically The Incandescent Grottoes and Nightmare Over Ragged Hollow are very good but also quite lengthywhat's your preferences? short or long? fantastical or horror?
>>98631511On the off chance you're not just bumping your own shitshow there's a very good list of intro modules and explanations in the pastebin for the real thread >>98616153and if you have any questions you'll get real answers there. This place is at best populated with idiots who have never played an osr game and actively hate them.
>>98631664anon, have some dignity for Christ's sakeyour malding is patheticjust crawl away
>>98631796see >>98631798
>>98631756>classic adventures take tooooo looonngg mannnn>this one is soo brutalllll dooood lol this place is fucked and you're an idiot.
>>98631798His desperation to try and get people to go to his thread is... almost sad, or at least it would be if the reason he was so desperate wasn't that he also drove everyone away to begin with.
>>98631812You and the voices in your head are not "everyone"
>>98631812>>98631798>>98631802rawraw keep shitting the shit fight little shitters
>>98631348>shills gay non-osr storytime slop in osr thread >wonders why he’s told to he eat shit
>>98631810a) believe it or not but how many games an adventure is going to last is a valid concern for most TTRPG tablesand b) believe it or not the fact that an adventure could be more than some absolute novices with fresh characters could chew is a valid concern for most tables starting out with OSRI mean you would have known that would you have actually played any games and not be a terminally online looserbut here we are and you've made a fool out of yourself... againyou are like a stinky schizo rambling bum
>>98631496>Completely irrelevant off-topic dogshit garbagebut enough about your mom
>>98631491these are meaningfully different threadsso calm your tits and use filters/hide threads if it bothers you
>>98631798>anon, have some dignity for Christ's sake>your malding is pathetic>t. The guy who's been posting fake OSR threads for months out ouf pure seethe, then samefagging fake discussions in them to bump them
>>98632842>meaningfully different threadsYes, one is about everything OSR, using a much broader definition than /osrg/ does, and this one is about how OP is a butthurt faggot who is mad that /osrg/ won't agree with him.
>>98631841>can't even format a) and b) >some sour grapes shit lol keep going you get more amusing every time.
>>98633057>say stupid shit>get humiliated>hur-dur but you didn't format a and b properly on an anonymous internet weeb boardkekyour malding is showing
>>98631561If it's rolled for on the encounter table, sure>>98632842They are not different at all, let alone meaningfully. They are both garbage attempts at hijacking the osrg, completely spurned on by the fishfag being told to fuck off by the mods and to stop making fake general threads >>98631645Dogshit advice from the exact same retard that we are complaining about.
>>98631670Undead are already immune to poison
>>98631690Someone like who? I don't know who this person is, but I should let you know something right now: the opinions of random people and random websites have absolutely no bearing on what a single thread gets to dictate for itself. I would extend that same benefit to this very thread, unfortunately we both know that it is just another poorly disguised derailment thread, in addition to the other one that exists simultaneously.
>>98631690Belligerent newfag tourist moron: it is not anti second edition. And arguing semantics over nebulous origins has absolutely no meaning for whether or not a thread gets to decide if something is on or off topic. That is decided as consensus by the thread itself, and as has been demonstrated by the mods, the general is to remain the way it is, and you are to continue pissing and moaning about it. We don't hate the game, we hate it being shoved into our thread where we don't want it. The whole thing would be a lot more forgivable however, if you actually discussed playing second edition ever, or could even produce a functioning character sheet, notes, maps.But you will produce nothing except for the two fake broken sheets that you showed us months ago, and they will forever be your legacy, along with a screenshot of talking to the mods while crying, and being spanked by them shortly after. God protect the enclave.
Yo this troll be malding like fuck.
>>98634301Feel free to contact the mods on IRC and ask them for their opinion on the matter :-) let us know when you do!
>>98630949>Remember, just chatting and role playing a bit is fine ANY TIME.That feels like whoever wrote that has both a story and some unresolved issues.
>>98634276there is no actual consensus which is a pretty obvious fact considering this lead to a chain of events resulting in these threads>our threadthat's not how this internet website worksI think a private discord server will be more your speedHowever I have to point out would you rename the thread FAG or something there would be probably zero issues, because then the name would be aligned with the content>you will your post implies you still insist it's only one anonif you still really believe that despite all the evidence you are factually deranged
>>98635068Just chancing your spacing and not capitalizing doesn't disguise you at all.
>>98635068>there is no actual consensus which is a pretty obvious fact considering this lead to a chain of events resulting in these threadsKEKThere's exactly one of you sperging out over the consensus to an unhinged degree and that's what led to these threads. Your solitary shitloss has no wider meaning than that you're insane.
