/osrg/ - Old School Revival General

If you don't like what you see, don't switch. Dozens of people never stopped playing AD&D.

Tea ceremonies are DEFINITELY a Fighter activity.
Unless you're suggesting it's some sort of Tenser's Transformation?

...is the eyerony lost on you?

Isn't he .

The ref isn't an antagonist. He's an arbiter. If you're not a spazz and they're not a spazz, nothing will lead to a spazzfest.

Sure does

>no defined system of resolving the majority of actions
There's either 1d20 under stat, 1d20 over stat, or X-in-Y/percentage chance.

>A plan works based on if the GM feels it does, not by rules set up in the game world.

What's the difference between this and "you get +5 to your attempt because it makes sense"?

90% of the RPG systems in existence don't really have rules for much of the stuff you attempt (because you don't really need it). You have a core mechanic and bases for estimating your chances. You do have that in OSR (either provided by the system, or simple roll X-in-6).
OSR even provides rules for things other systems gloss over, for example a way to estimate time in the dungeon (turns), something which completely puzzled me when I ran my first RPG game (3.5 Sunless Citadel).
So, in essence - when playing RPGs you're always doing a sort of "mother may I", however concealed. Except if you're playing GURPS, for the most part.

Having everything out-of-combat be solved by the players rolling their perception/investigation/persuasion is not exactly riveting

What was wrong with the other general? Does Veeky Forums have a vendetta against Raggi or something?

Mind circling his dick on imgur and linking it to us? I don't see it.

Nah, it was probably not safe for work because Raggi's basically naked in the OP pic.

You just saw a bit of his bum, who gives a shit?
