You guys have images like these (or something simila) that I can use for describing locales in D&D? Preferably fantasy-themed, but any good ones, i can make them work
Tried googling it, but i just find pictures of offices
Not exactly the same, but this book has some useful pictures.
>>52582456
yea ive already found & saved a bunch of these, but im thinking mostly "overviews" of the inside of buildings, some which will be encounters of various kinds
How do you improv /tg/ GM?
>>52581215
Does anyone else GM by the seat of their pants?
Like, literally just make it up as you go, no prep at all?
Works pretty well for me.

You're telling me there's another way to do it? Because I have never planned something, and then ended up using those plans. It's a waste of time.

Read the 3e core book (link below). For mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial: http://mengtzu.github.io/exalted/sakuya.html

The Tomb of Dreams (Ex3 Jumpstart) adventure is now being sent to backers!
And here's something Minton posted in the forum. Isn't it so weird to have devs that communicate with us?
"First Age Artifice
By incorporating sorcery and other arcane sciences into their work, First Age artificers achieved feats beyond the grasp of latter-day smiths. This, specifically, is what is meant by First Age artifice (Exalted, pp.243-244). Then as now, most artifacts constructed in the First Age employed more straightforward techniques. First Age artifice was reserved for grand and sublime feats that could not otherwise be achieved.
Artifacts requiring Craft (First Age Artifice) include such things as warstriders, airships, powered armor, miraculous infrastructure, sophisticated siege weaponry, automata with human-level intelligence, and anything else the Storyteller feels is incompatible with the setting of the Time of Tumult.
Out of game, this subsystem supports the setting conceit that many First Age marvels could neither be maintained nor replaced after the Usurpation, and allows Solar characters to repair and rebuild a few miraculous wonders from that era without being able to casually restore the glories of the First Age singlehandedly. It also ensures that certain artifact types are sufficiently difficult to construct that characters can't build them casually, and that they are very rare in the Time of Tumult without being outright impossible to create in play. These restrictions are fuzzy and ultimately rely on Storyteller judgment.
The section mark (§) denotes an artifact requiring Craft (First Age Artifice) to manufacture and repair. As a reminder, all crafting and repairs on such artifacts must be done with white experience points."
Apparently according to Vance, they've tested upgrading Dragon-Blooded to being neutral with all materials other than Jade (which they're still Resonant with) rather than Dissonant, and it's worked well in said testing.
This seems to be getting posted in every thread, so I might as well get it out of the way now.

What is this HERESY?!
Is Dexterity the stat to rule them all?
> increase armor class against common attacks
> increase reflex chance against special attacks
> while also increasing hit chance in ranged, applicable in most battles
Every table I go people mostly pump dexterity. Dodging seems to be the best.
>>52569618
Depends on the system
>>52569644
In DnD I mean.
Armor also usually sucks. Heavy armor is asking to be kitted to death.
>>52569676
Depends on the edition.
In 5e, heavy armor gives you better defense than Dex, for less stat investment and no downside.

>What's your favorite non-fantasy OSR game?
Could you turn the early eighties-editions of Warhammer 40k into an old-school dungeon crawler the same way D&D evolved from Chainmail? Space Hulk and shit like that?
If you could, that would be my favorite.
>>52557111
I think you could, especially after looking at WFB 1e. Hell, award character points for advancement, and you're already there with Rogue Trader I think.
It's missing all of the things that OD&D is missing system-wise. You'd have to put a game on it (the hard part with 40k is what do you the characters do?)
>>52555997
>Is there an OSR system out there where thieves aren't terrible?
Continuing the non-sucky thief skill options (see >>52556254 and >>52556435), you could simply take the BECMI / RC thief and give him skill stats as if he were X levels higher (since they progress slowly, you won't max out all your skills before 14th level, like you would if you did something similar with the B/X thief). Pic is the RC thief skills at 7 levels higher than they're supposed to be.

I can do evil so long as its cartoon super villain evil.
I'm not trying to edgefag but if you kill all who you wrong, then you don't have to feel bad, or atleast as bad as leaving them around in their ruined life
ITT We make characters based on our name meanings.
First and Middle names relate to the individual while the Surname relates to your family or house.

That's neat...what, there's nothing else add. It is a genuinely neat little idea. Not enough content to base a plot hook around by itself, but an interesting little bit of side fluff.
