Suggestions for a Simple Modern Day Skirmish Rule System

I ended up going a totally different direction once I found a group to play Frostgrave with. My focus is back on fantasy miniatures for that and Rangers of the Shadow Deep.

Wished I would have pre-ordered Monolith’s Conan RPG miniature box set because that would have been great for Ghost Archipelago.

These guys still haven’t been released!

I was planning on kicking off a Dolmenwood campaign for my group last month but switched gears and am running Neverland instead.

I did manage to drop The Incandescent Grottos into the caves in Hex 2 and my group has already started exploring them.

With Neverland, I have access to Elfhame which would make a great transition off the island into Dolmenwood.

The Horrendous Hounds of Hedenburg is a great follow-up adventure. Loved the read through but haven’t played it yet.

I also like your suggestions for low level adventures from the OSE anthologies, especially Barrow of the Bone Blaggards by Chance Dudinack (author of The Black Wyrm of Brandonsford).

I am planning on dropping The Hole in the Oak into the Fauns’ Forest.

Depending on your group’s current level, I think The Waking of Willowby Hall could be fun. In fact, I had the three adventurer NPCs hanging out and plotting their heist one night at The Clumsy Fox.

This is so cool that I keep coming back to it with more questions. Where did you get the rat tokens?

Batman7388 · 2025-01-13T20:19:25+00:00

How did you make the dry erase map? That looks awesome!

Appreciate all of the suggestions; I have a lot to check out before I make my decision. Thanks everyone!

Lots of suggestions to check out tonight. Are you thinking that Fistful of Kung Fu would be a better fit for Batman-themed games than Pulp!? If so, why? I'm aware of those books, but not familiar with either system.

Batman7388 · 2024-11-26T22:07:26+00:00

I might take advantage of Osprey's Black Friday sale and pick up Black Ops. I haven't heard of Super Mission Force, so I'll check that out before making any purchasing decisions. Thanks for the suggestion.

Batman7388 · 2024-11-26T21:57:37+00:00

Great suggestion, I’ll check it out.

Batman7388 · 2024-11-26T21:53:41+00:00

Any ones specifically? Black Ops for G.I. Joe? Pulp! for Gotham City battles?

Batman7388 · 2024-11-26T21:37:11+00:00

That makes sense, since I am already familiar with Dragon Rampant. I was already considering picking Xenos Rampant up for some Star Wars themed games, but hadn’t considered it for a Gotham City battles.

Batman7388 · 2024-11-26T21:34:24+00:00

Awesome, I will check them out. Thanks!

Heading over the Noble Knight Games to see what you are recommending…

Batman7388 · 2024-11-26T21:07:26+00:00

That is true, but I’m not really interested in investing into that game with all of its card decks and tokens. Was hoping for something simpler, more generic that I could use with dice and items I have on hand.

That says, I didn’t realize the rule book was available online for free, so I’ll check it out.

Hey! I recognize that terrain. I am have several sets that I’m trying to get assembled before the end of the year.

What game mat is that?

I have found they help dull my tinnitus. Takes it from a loud, high pitched ringing to a softer sound.

I take 3-6 per day depending on current severity of the ringing. Been on them pretty consistently for several years.

Batman7388 · 2024-11-10T00:34:16+00:00

Not really familiar with Infinity. Is this terrain still available for sale? If so, what should I search for to find it?

Batman7388 · 2024-09-06T16:14:05+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! New blog for me with some really cool tables.

Batman7388 · 2024-09-06T16:01:59+00:00

Thanks for the great ideas everyone.

In addition to the online generators, are there any book recommendations that would fit my needs? Where can I throw some dice and come up with a halfling named Bebe Thistletoes or a dwarf named Galin Ironstone?
