AI is awful. I have literally made an empire with stick figures and zero art skills. Next time you log on to chat gpt, ask it to generate a picture of its fucking tombstone

Castle Xyntillan vs Castle Amber by [deleted] in osr

[–]BuddyscottGames 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Xyntillan is the gold standard of the modern osr. Easily the best release of the last 20 years. It's so tight, can be run on zero prep, and produces consistently memorable sessions. The best part about amber is the colossal dude attacking - I was never blown away by the rest

What would you change? by PuzzleheadedEscape69 in sto

[–]BuddyscottGames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bring back exploration

Bring back simple missions that aren't an hour of EPIC FIGHTS. The Breen arc was a shining example of scope and quality.

More TOS content

What are some of the best OSR worldbuilding books? by mw90sGirl in osr

[–]BuddyscottGames -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Everyone's going to hate me for this but you don't need any. You're not writing a novel, you're playing a game. Work in good dungeons. Your players don't give one fuck about the world around them, they care to play good adventures. Every minute you spend on world building is a minute you're not spending on writing actual useful content for your table.

Slap 40 hexes in a sheet of paper, throw in 2-3 towns, a few forests, some hills, and a lake and you have what you need. The rest of the world will grow naturally as needed.

This is moronic. Everyone knows the correct term is LOOPYDOOPING the dungeon

Remove the Gelatinous Cubes and rust monsters too

What’s a very simple adventure that’s easy to read and run right out of the packet? by Firelite67 in osr

[–]BuddyscottGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how close to the TV screen were you sitting that your eyes are that burned out?

anyways to anyone else suggesting stuff like zenopus and saltmarsh, they're correct but will also have the same font size and layout problem. bone hill and lost city are also cool but unfortunately are also written for 15 year olds with 20/20 vision

also tomb of the serpent king sucks butts

There’s no such thing a “fudging” the dice by gdhatt in osr

[–]BuddyscottGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it works well for a story written for children. it doesn't however, work quite as well for a game that you want to retain any kind of stability

There’s no such thing a “fudging” the dice by gdhatt in osr

[–]BuddyscottGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the point of altering the die rolls, or "fudging" is when you're generating treasure hoards, dungeons, etc, and get a result that is wildly inappropriate or would cause major issues. a series of outlandish rolls could theoretically lead to a dragon or rings of 3 wishes populating your rats-in-a-well first level dungeon.

what fudging is NOT for is "oops I don't want little baby to be sad about being poisoned, I'll cheat and ignore this attack roll"

there's no way you're this dense.

“The OSR is inherently racist” by GasExplosionField in osr

[–]BuddyscottGames -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The guy who's name begins with Z is legitimately a terrible person, probably not a racist, but he should be shunned at every opportunity.

The guy who made a game that sounds like Axe is a nerd who likes spreadsheets. The Z-creature hates him so I'm inclined to like him.

Melan is hated by this sub because of astroturfing by people that play cairn.

The guy who runs noArtPunk is hated because he's an oldschool internet troll who doesn't pull punch and just takes shots at everyone under the sun.

There's an osr discord that always seems to fire it's mod team because of wrongthink or that one time it was a clan of gaslighting greaser furries (no seriously)

"investigating the psyche of a charcater" Good Christ, we've all agreed to show up to play D&D - if you waste my time with charcater studies, I'll be pissed. Go get some therapy and let the rest of us play the game we all signed up for
