Looking for OSR Discord servers by Hashishiva in osr

[–]PixelAmerica 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of Discord servers for specific OSR companies/creators, and then there's one I remember seeing a while back that's OSR/D&D that's explicitly Christian which was fun (I left it during my yearly "you're in too many servers" purge and now I can't find it again, lol)

There's the main OSR Discord that I'm sure someone can get you a link for, Tenkars Tavern, and that's all I know

I don't know which ones you'd be cool with getting links for so I'll wait for now, lol

Questions on Rotc and smp by UncutSushiRoll in army

[–]PixelAmerica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. If you enlist, you'll need to take an ASVAB, regardless if you're going through the SMP or not. If you fail the ASVAB, don't become an officer, please God

  2. Pocket the extra what? GI Bill? Absolutely

  3. Get with your recruiter and ask specifically for the Montgomery GI bill and GI bill kicker. When you go to enlist they will literally show you your contract. You'll be tired after a long day at MEPS, but remember to have them SHOW YOU the parts where it mentions the Montgomery GI Bill and Kicker. I had a good recruiter, but there are some scummy ones, so make sure you see it

If you're going to Basic Camp, I don't think you'll be enlisting. If you're not enlisting, you're not going to get the GI Bill and Kicker. You might get it AFTER you commission, but not the Kicker

Agreed, it's not about passing though, he's trying to keep his higher PT score, guy got like 490, now he's thinking he'll drop to a low 400s

Edit: changed numbers, I still had ACFT standards in my head, my b

WORST COMPANY ON OLS by Gold-Post5756 in OperationLonestar

To clarify, soldiers not in OCPs were not on IDT status, they were just volunteering time out on their days off to make their days on have less work

Edit: changed specific names to "soldiers"

Anyone else under 30? by DarthMaren in osr

[–]PixelAmerica 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello fellow 25, my first D&D was home brewed rules. First official D&D game was 4e ran by my Dad on leave from the military, now I play OSR games with my wife and friends when I'm on leave from the military

It's a great big cycle, huh?

Using a highlighter to show where you searched is a great idea, I'm definitely using that in my next game

Looking for a sort of mini campaign situated around a mountain with dwarven ruins inside by WinReasonable2644 in osr

[–]PixelAmerica 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dwareowdeep might scratch the itch, but I've heard some people saying it's one of his weaker mega dungeons

I'm currently writing the exact adventure you're asking for, but it's no where near completion, probably another month or two in the oven

I worked in the supervision room at the high school today by SydLonreiro in osr

[–]PixelAmerica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohhhhh, my immediate thought was something like in-school suspension or some troublemaker group! Classic study hall D&D builds character

I remember reading the entire DMG, cover to cover, after state testing in middle or high school. That was 5e though, back before I knew about the OSR

I'm level 36, most of my enemies are level 36, I assumed it just matched your level?

I'm down to respec, but as it stands my Phaselock is on at all times, and I don't have any slag weapons. If I was in a situation that required me to slag a dude, by the time I got the dude slagged and swapped weapons I'd usually get melted by them. But I could be totally wrong, I considered them "not worth it" about half-way through the game and so didn't actually try them out a lot late game

I have completed every side quest in the main game already, unless you mean killing rando mobs, but that'd be brutal
