So, like in... F.A.T.A.L.?

>>422950

> so rules lawyering faggots don't end up Greenwooding the setting.

Oh. Another clone of Wankerfox, or the same that exercised scent glands a few threads below?

Anybody have a preference for OD&D vs B/X D&D vs AD&D and why?

>1 - What was your first OSR game?

AD&D 2e

2 - What do you enjoy about OSR games?

Games that are very light and others that are rule dense.

3- Do you have any homebrew content for OSR games and, if so, will you share?

No.

>>425412

You chose the one board where you'd have to wait a year for a payoff with your datamining thread for this?

Roll a d20 to get sexually harassed by a doorknob.

>>425982

any name that implies a foundation-like society, trying and failing to contain eldritch horrors leading to the post-apocolypse should fit

its not even a legal threat, a lot of its just burying the legacy of the pozzed SCP into the dirt

if youre not named after them, you cut them off and out of the deal

>>420271

Really? That's amazingly neat.

I definitely need to brush up on my Dark Suns, Athas always was just "there" in my head.

So, with Wayback Machine and Archive.is drinking the Kool-aid, how will threads like these be saved for future generations, bar In-browser tools and Screenshotcaptor?

>>420027

Glowing Dunes? On the border between Radiance and Magma.

>Theres a Demiplane of elemental blood filled with madness inducing blood slimegirls

Question is, is it:

The plane where Piscea touched upon the elemental plane of water, in the same manner as the creation of the demiplane of filth with Juiblex? There is an entire species of !notAboleth's on that plane that migrate to dagon's lair/trade with Aboleth, so it's possible.

Related to the sheeding of fiend blood in the blood war?

Linkd to the blood magus Prc, and is what they hear when they are resurrected from death and learn to manipulate to some degree.

Despite what some may think, it's not related to vampires, as D&D vamps don't actually suck blood for blood's sake, bar Nosferatu.

>>425162

You're that faggot, ain't you? Who is here just to spew bullshit.

Using the word gimp just gives a general appearance of the imagined character. Nowhere did I say they had some gay sexual relationship or anything like that. I apologize if I triggered your faggoty lust subroutine by using a deceptive word. Now kys.

>>425163

"Gimp" is a term specifically relating to BDSM fetishism, which you added to by having the Paladin lead him around on a leash. The same concept works with the Paladin keeping the criminal shackled around his hands and feet, but you didn't say that. Instead, you acted like a retard.

A civilization of seafaring people who are mysteriously immune to scurvy. This immunity appears to be cultural as those adopted into the culture or who join them on their voyages have this immunity and those who leave the culture lose it. They genuinely don't seem to know where this comes from, and none of them have revealed the secret regardless of the interrogation method. The reason is completely mundane: Their diet is rich in fermented vegetables that other cultures find disgusting.

A half-drow that's the result of a drow woman being captured in a failed surface raid and sold as a love slave to a nobleman.

>>416736

So more or less Dreadful (comic on nuklearpower.com)

It also had minotaurs and half-demons. And a bugfuck insane dwarf bandit with grenade launcher.

>>426008

You realize that Wow has died right?

giantitp forums blew up. They've been shit for a while, but sad to see the loss of all the old info on them.

>>426016

Ha did that faggot rich ever finish his story?

>>426018

Comic part is still up.

The state of FFG right now is that they've fired most of their permanent RPG staff and are changing workflow to use just a few product leads and then hiring freelancers for each book. Existing writers aren't necessarily gone entirely, but they will have to accept dealing with that unreliable freelance schedule.

When this news came out, I contacted the store I normally order my books from to find out if the supply was going to be affected and I got a decent response back, letting me know that as far as he knew, his existing orders for restock are going to be met and nothing is going out of print for the foreseeable future. It shouldn't be like when they lost the 40k license and you were out of luck if you didn't already have the books that were sold out.

>>425959

>He honestly reminds me of Agrivar from AD&D comics when he was dealing with the nutjob Tarrasque cultist and immediately went turbo-autism because of the chromatic dragons in the vicinity.

Excuse me, is it the context? Because from just that image, it seems he has a excellent reason to be angry.

>>426000

>>426000

He is and he isn't. He's got a point, but because he fucks off, the cultist suceeds, summons the tarrasque, which proceeds to unpopulate the fuck out of dragonkind and nearly decimate his companions.

He learns the errors of his ways after some soul-searching with a little help from a dragon polymorhped as an animal to demonstrate some principles of nature or somesuch.

That said, hes not exactly world's best paladin, he's an ex-drunk, his dad (I think?) boned Selune as a mortal, and his sister is an OC Dunut steel Drow/Sun Elf/half-elf combo who essentially got all the cosmic bullshit genes being who's a massive maneater. and the current events involved both good and evil dragons comprimising to combat a common enemy over the issues of a mass migration that would've arguably done damage as a whole to the realms, opposed to a few destroyed cities/ruined agriculture because of the cultists desire for maximum devastation. Hell, it was something directly on Elminster's plate at the time- that's how serious the matter was. E- had to stay at home to deliver one of his best buddies kids wiith the help of a Bruce-Campbell Halfling out of Cheese-cocaine rehab who also let out an old 1e-2e Tethryr blackguard from E's nobility days.

>have paladin

>introduce necromancer

Are you retarded?

Necromancy is not only evil but straight up unholy, you're literally making use of elemental evil.

This is on you, you could've had a monk or a priest to guide the party instead of a literal practitioner of unholy magic.

Not to say the Paladin is smart or good but sure as fuck you setup a situation where the Paladin could do nothing but be against this.

Furthermore, a Paladin is also a FUCKING KNIGHT WHO PLEDGES FEALTY TO A LORD/KING/KINGDOM.

You're an idiot OP.

>>425956

Just talk the party out of saving him next time and let him die from his own stupid actions.

>>425861

Do the rule set of the Watchmen RPG?

>>425858

Just use your preferred setting agnostic generic system and limit characters to "Normal Humans" + one unique supernatural shtick.

Why would you want a Simpsons rpg? I'm not really sure on what kind of game you are trying to run here, what part of the simpsons would you want incorporated into the rpg?

>>425858

I assume the goal would be to go about a normal day without dying, or being dragged into the town's eerie Call of Cthulhu atmosphere- with scenarios being generated like that episode of south park with family guy episodes being generated by manatees.

Except with the simpons, and dice to generate an episode scenario using old classic simpsons, and nu-simpson episode formuae, with character sheets for all characers labelled out doing their stereotypical actions as wel as what the DM can improvise is.

Additional goals may be how much the session sounds like a simpsons episode, granting prestige into the next.

Rinsh, was repeat, until you're better than what Simpsons is today, then repackage it, pitch it, and become the new thing.

>>415500

You should probably do as >>415635 says. If you want a more disorganized sprawl, like the kind you get with really old cities, you could probably make a brush shaped like a rectangle buildings are usually shaped like that in urban sprawls and set the jitter and angle tilts pretty high. There's a guy on youtube that describes the full process here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQL2hK2O5aA

My most effective advice is to be as lazy as possible when making maps. Intelligently designed and planned urban environments do not feel lived in.

OP: was this an online campaign? Cause if so I am afraid that you have no one to blame but yourself. Actually, no, they are still dicks, but you cannot put that much effort into a campaign with randos online. Even people you know IRL that's a big risk. Online randos? You might as well post your credit card number, you'll be fucking yourself over less.

There's online map generators and a few downloads that will do the cartography for you in an attractive way.

For characters there's Heromachine.

There's not much you can do when flakes bail, just write off the ones that didn't show, and re-use the material for a different party who aren't assholes. Or maybe a novel or something.

75%... that's three out of four, or six out of eight? Either way that sucks.

Being in a three man party. One kills every npc he sees. Other supports him, as that is what his chaotic good character would do.

>>425657

Goddess who controls fate loves empowered heroines, her favor brings terrible luck. Do the math.

Well, I'm glad I didn't miss any Dungeon Meshi chapters, but a few months had past already.

When do we get the new chapters?

>>425944

I want it.

>>425944

I've been reading that, it's bretty good.

>>425436

Lead the Imperium. Straighten out the bad laws and practices. Get mankind into seriously developing technology again. Act as a massive boost to moral. Start a new webway project. Tell Magnus he's been a very naughty boy.

>>425436

Abandon the new Eye of Terror, go over to the other side of the rift, slap the remaining territory together into some ramshackle "Imperium" and just make a crusade against Chaos more out of embittered spite then anything.

>>424373

See also: Emperasque.

One of GK stabs the Emprah, who dies and takes a chance with reincarnation.

The rest of them presumably are very busy trying to contain the now-unsealed Warp hole where Terra webway station was supposed to be.

Of course, the Astronomicon remains unfocused until and unless he is actually reborn and got strong enough to return and control the whole thing again. Until then, the entire Imperium is pretty much shut down.

"Stab me so I can be reborn in Ephreal Stern's psychically enhanced superwomb anew free from the flaws and stresses of my age old past, to lead the imeperium in my youth, prime, and restored hope and altruism for the future like a Gothic Alexander the great, fostering a better relationship with my remaining sons as mentors, guides and friends as we finish the great work together."

Because people forgot Stern is kind-of a Mini-E made through a different method- so her being like- mother mary of the 41st millennium would make sense

>>425936

The Daemonifuge?

It would be interesting if she participated in the Emprah's game, that is ran errands directly for him.

But she's a lucky coincidence, not part of any plan.

Also, the problem with Emprah's rebirth is not in opportunity. It's the interregnum - at least 9 months of mayhem without him controlling Astronomicon and keeping the Gate of Terra shut tight.

Holy shit, thank you Anons. This actually helped me a lot.

Anyone got the adventurer eggs cap?

>>408902

There's a very good and very old way to make characters with a skeleton background to which you only need to add a few bells and whistles: Lifepath character creation.

Integrated in Traveller, Burning Wheel, Stars Without Number and Rogue Trader. And fan-made for half of the rest, including derp20.

Editing is a tool of the patriarchy.

>>425823

Its always a safe assumption to assume WotC fucked up, or that 5e lore is contradictory to old lore.

>>425823

More or less. An over-bloated mercenary company, mutual financial interest with the city, and also hired as BG "army" since their base is there anyway. And yes, one of the Dukes is their guy.

Take a look at "Gold and Glory", it's a splatbook on FR mercenaries:

Or see Old Grey Box (FRCS v.1), same deal.

>How much handwavium magic in the guise of science do you find acceptable in your Science Fiction RPGs?

I absolutely fucking hate Bioware/Blizzard style "the epic 100 hour coupon hunt for the 7 magic McGuffins, because you're the prophesised chosen one" non-writing and non-worldbuilding and how those companies specifically have helped wormed all that into science fiction, if that counts.

Now I remember why this board died.

You people are pathetic. Maybe we should call this the Special Needs Children Daycare Cage Fight general.

>>425879

Not because of Trekkie derp. There wasn't much of that.

>>419200

>How much handwavium magic in the guise of science do you find acceptable in your Science Fiction RPGs?

I prefer the Wh40k route where everything's handwavium. Space fantasy >>>>>> science fiction. Science is for nerds and extremely boring. What could be interesting would be a world that uses IRL magic systems like Enochian to attain sci-fi effects, not written as a parody, but a serious setting.

What's the difference? IRL magic systems start with a holistic explanation for everything, then get into details from there. Science starts with details of boring shit, then moves to just a slight bit more interesting stuff, then finally peters out as everyone shrugs their shoulders and goes "I dunno, maybe quantum particles or some shit"

Pathfinder also has some stuff with mutations due to expanding Expedition to Barrier Peaks into an entire country giving plenty of places for comic book radiation to exist. Just search d20pfsrd for mutant and you'll find all sorts of stuff. The mutant creature template is most in line with what you're looking for, but there's player options that give mostly straight positives.

https://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/templates/mutant-creature-cr-1/

There's actually a PFS module that gives characters an arbitrary cosmetic mutation of their player's choice. Can't remember the name though.

There's also this bit from The Reed Richards Guide to Everything (a book for Marvel Super Heroes Adventure Game - SAGA Rules). I recommend tracking down a download for the book even if you have no interest in running the system purely for the often hilarious in-universe articles that serve as a framing device.

> What's your opinion on mutations as a gameplay element?

It should be considered as a *setting* element first. For example, in 40k it's obviously a thing. In most settings it's retarded.
