How would you guys compare this custom spell to Battletide? >https://rentry.org/niqx6cbw There's two (A) options under Battle Cadence because I haven't decided which of the two I'll keep. I'm leaning towards the slightly better but still pretty bad Spiritual Weapon effect, simply because it's cooler, and it stacks with hastes too so there's that. Basically, I want this version to be thematic while not being actually stronger than Battletide, hence the nerfed speed and free quicken. Copying the question from 4chan in the off chance some of you are here exclusively.

/osrg/ is dead, but /osr/ is so FUCKING back! This is thread for Tactical Studies Rules (TSR), Old School Revival/Renaissance (OSR), Fantasy Adventure Gaming (FAG), Classic Adventure Gaming (CAG), and other faggot (nuSR) games, i.e. Boomer D&D and bootlegs thereof. Generally speaking, the OSR playstyle focuses on a very early 1970s "intended" D&D playstyle heavy on logistics and player skill that was displaced later. Some games that are generally the focus of this general are: >Original, Basic, and Advanced 1st Edition D&D >clones like OSRIC, Labyrinth Lord, Old-School Essentials Other games are not strictly OSR but related: >Advanced 2nd Edition D&D >Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG and derivatives >Basic Fantasy RPG The above lists are not comprehensive!

4chan rapefugee doing a vibe check. Are people still posting here? Also, adding a question so I’m not shitting up the thread. How do you guys run an OSR game for two, possibly 3 people?

>>3366 I'll make an effort posting here when I'm running games again. I used to lurk in smug/tg/ before the 4cuck hack. And to answer your question, give each player like 2-3 hirelings each for modules that requires large player counts. Otherwise, scale the NPC/Monster count appropriately.

Ironclaw Anonymous 08/15/2023 (Tue) 12:43:56 Id: 622803 No. 992 [Reply]
Ok I know how this looks but hear me out. Ironclaw has a pretty neat looking system underneath the anthro characters. How it works is that basically you have several different dice depending on your skills, career and gifts. You roll all of them and instead of adding them all up you only take the highest showing number. I thought this was neat since it means lower dice like D4 and D6 can still be useful since difficulty checks seem to generally be on the lower side. Character stats are also kinda funny. They are represented by dice instead of numbers. So when making a character you assign dice to attributes, a D4 in body might represent a weak and scrawny rat. On the contrary a D8 in body might mean the character is quite fit. The funny part though is that both Career and species are stats. So assigning a D4 to a rat would mean that character is really bad at being a rat. Conversely putting a D8 in Species means your character would be far more rat than he is human. Not even anthro anymore, He is just a rat. I am going to be playing this with the group on friday and I am very excited.

>>3311 Yup. For reasons beyond me the cover is a furry version of the first slayers movie. Even in newer version you can easily tell the main fox girl is just Lina inverse.
>>3318 >For reasons beyond me the cover is a furry version of the first slayers movie. You won't believe this. It might actually shock you to find out but furries back then really liked anime. Crazy, right? Can you believe that people liked things and referenced them in their works?
>>3332 This was a commercial product, References are fine and all but they didn't even change the costumes for the cover. That is blatant theft you know.

Near Future Scifi Tech Anonymous 04/24/2025 (Thu) 05:50:03 Id: 913ebd No. 2791 [Reply]
Given the premise of REALLY good batteries & energy storage/generation to power technology, & maybe a generation or two at most of tech development what are some scifi technologies would you expect to see develop? I'm thinking stuff like Boston Dynamics Robots, drones & exosuits. I want to largely stay away from space travel, cybernetics/cyberpunk, nanotechnology, etc.

>>2840 Tricorders are also very feasible. Raman spectroscopy modules can scan an object with a laser and determine its chemical composition at range, which is most of the sci-fi elements of a tricorder. I'm more optimistic about cybernetics. Prosthetic arms can already be bonded directly into bone, using titanium. There are sensors that pick up muscle signals directly through the skin.
>>3104 my only concern about prosthetics is the battery life. Imagine needing to be plugged into the wall for an hour so that your arm works well enough to continue working in excel

What sort of attire do you think elves should wear as part of their culture? Human styled fantasy clothing? Fantasy nobility dress? What about in battles? There's really no set sort of mold that elves fit into attire wise the same way something like a dwarf, human, or hobbit does. Just think it'd be neat to know what kind of aesthetics people think fit with them.

>>1943 >Can you imagine trying to not tear gaping holes in all that fine stitching and lace while just walking from tree to tree every day? Didn't read the rest of your post. The point of wearing hugely inconvenient clothes is to showcase how you: >A Can afford to wear such inconvenient clothes, as being all practical is for plebs and the lower people. >B To showcase how you can move carefully and elegantly around without stuff getting stuck, damaged or dirty. Often, high culture loves to do things inconveniently and overly complicated in order to show how cultured you are. Practicality arises from the need to survive, while you need to be on a high civilizatory level to willingly take inconvenience and wear it as a fashion. At the same time, it's more like a dumb cliché and you see elves wearing more practical clothes (still fashionable) when they actually go out.

>>2905 Cross-procrasination is so much fun. I wouldn't worry really too much unless all you're doing is shitposting and doom scrolling. If it gets really bad though just start using the timers on your phone. Setting aside like 30 minutes to goof off in between projects has been shown to work in learning environments, and any task becomes easier to finish if you decide to just try 10 minutes of it at a time and see if the flow takes over. I picked up the firefighting campaign module I've been kicking around yesterday after dropping it for a week and it was just to work on character art. I already feel a lot more familiar with the subject matter and have gotten a lot more done than I thought in those guilty interludes.

>>3220 I posted some of the details in another threads >>2235 >>2778. I plan on running a pre-FTL campaign where the PCs are stuck in a system where shit is about to go down. Since this will be my first proper campaign as a GM, my thought on making it pre-FTL is that it would be easier on me since then I'd be able to control the Tech Level and introduce things as needed. I've still got to finish up some details as well as rewrite/cut some content that I originally wrote that I don't think the players will either care about nor play a role in the game. Most of it is stuff that's going on in the background. The thing is OG traveller games are really just a frame work and a general plot outline and they expect GMs to fill in the details themselves. Makes a lot of sense when you think about it as it allows GMs to work in modules and scenarios into their games as they see fit. This has been a good exercise for my writing skills.

If it's literal D&D, Gemini 2.5 can do a pretty decent job at being your DM. Decent is code for keep your expectations low, though. You might want to add some random tables to its system prompt with instructions to execute code to roll on the tables when the situation calls for it.

Thread for discussion 30k lore, especially the Horus Heresy, in detail. General 40k lore discussion is allowed when applicable. Also general 30k discussion allowed for those of you who play the tabletop game. First topic to break the ice, did Argel Tal do anything wrong? You can argue he made the same mistake as many of his brothers by blindly following Lorgar even into literal hell, but he was also said to be the potential cause for Kharn to turn loyal or at least not become an agent of Chaos. And of course he killed some Custodes even after befriending them. EDIT: some added links for horus heresy adeptus titanicus. >New to The Horus Heresy?

I'm working out the list I'm going to be bringing to two big events in the coming months and I'm stuck between having my level 4 chaos sorcerer use the lore of daemonology or battle magic. The way I see it is that daemonology is essentially just good for The Summoning, Steed of Shadows and maybe Gathering Darkness, with the other spells being functionally useless on a lone sorcerer. In comparison, battle magic seems to be outright better: Fireball, Pillar of Fire, Arcane Urgency and even the Curse of Cowardly Flight are all incredibly powerful. If I brought him as a daemonologist, I'd have a decent chance at getting steed of shadows, which would allow my block of chosen chaos warriors to move a lot faster, and I'd be guaranteed to get The Summoning. However, I'm going to be bringing a level 2 sorcerer as a daemonologist anyway - should I just gamble for the 1/3 chance of getting SoS on him and have my level 4 use battle magic? SoS -> Arcane Urgency would be insanely powerful and Pillar of Fire can do insane damage if it's used right.
