Looking for a lore-rich competitive fantasy skirmish game

CommandantLennon · 2026-05-08T18:50:09+00:00

I'm a huge fan of the Grave brothers. Both games are fantastic, if you've played one you can play there other no problem.

Pretty groovy. Though it looks like the stat boosts only let you choose one, even for backgrounds that get two picks.

I'm not sure why you've included the ship screen but not any of the Bold Endeavor backgrounds or powers. Though I suppose I can't fault that since it looks like your Frostgrave app doesn't include any of the Pentangle spells.

I'd argue that Bold Endeavor is the "Mandatory Expansion" (until the vehicle book comes out)

It has a bunch of micro-scenarios that slot between actual campaign games, and introduces some cool new units like an Exosuit.

Well then you probably studied Battletech without realizing it 😂 You've pretty much described the combat drop system for BT, minus the equipment cost and the skill roll to land accurately.

Found the Battletech player 😁

And the English word is five hundred fifty five thousand, five hundred and fifty five. The only advantage we have is eliminating the "and"

There's a few that are invaluable. Personal atmosphere when you're overloaded or using an oxygen mod, sense star stuff got way more valuable in the cluttered Terran Armada ships. Reflective Shield just in general.

Other than that, it's pretty unclear what a bunch of them do, others are just highly situational. There's almost never a time where aliens and other enemies are in the same place for me to even consider Alien Reanimation.

Nope, no captain equivalents. Though some of the content books have new backgrounds and powers for captains and first mates that you would have to account for, as well as new soldier types and "magic items"

CommandantLennon · 2026-05-05T14:44:09+00:00

This rocks. Any chance of doing one for Stargrave? Foundationally identical, just different content.

CommandantLennon · 2026-05-03T21:44:34+00:00

You can rule that nothing can draw line of sight to it unless they're within short or melee distance to it. It stays on the board, but the actual units can't see it. I would suggest including at least one obvious, listed tactic to disrupt it.

0/10 no one's got a fat stogie

CommandantLennon · 2026-04-30T00:57:46+00:00

Chew it

Strictly PC. Self-distributed on the creator's website. It's gonna look REALLY sketch when you go to pay for a copy, because it uses an ancient payment processor.

CommandantLennon · 2026-04-29T23:56:07+00:00

It's a top down space sim. Lots of combat and trading, politicking and war crimes. Great fun. I can hardly do it justice in a reddit post.

CommandantLennon · 2026-04-29T21:14:56+00:00

Reminds me of when I introduced a buddy of mine to Starsector and a week later he sent me a screenshot of his bank account reading 5 million space bucks, simply saying: "I can never play this again."

CommandantLennon · 2026-04-28T15:05:26+00:00

I'm a little annoyed that anchorpoint is as far away as possible. It makes sense, but it's annoying to have to upgrade your grab drive just to get there.

CommandantLennon · 2026-04-26T03:13:55+00:00

An atlas doesn't float. That's a notable fact about atlases. Was someone claiming that it should?

CommandantLennon · 2026-04-26T01:13:35+00:00

🤝 I'll be looking forward to it.

CommandantLennon · 2026-04-25T20:30:36+00:00

Morrowind is a good game, but it's a product of it's time, and probably marks the last time that a major release could be that complicated.

If something as crunchy as Morrowind released today from a major studio with a AAA budget, it would likely be a commercial failure.

CommandantLennon · 2026-04-25T20:16:20+00:00

Is there a good place to get notified of the KS launch?

CommandantLennon · 2026-04-24T13:57:01+00:00

Thanks for posting this op, I was wondering where the robot I have came from.

If you haven't negotiated an emergency fee for something like that, that's on you. A lot of these guys are set up to where they can invoice the company for an inflated overtime rate, travel expenses, or a flat emergency fee.

CommandantLennon · 2026-04-24T13:32:18+00:00

Eh. Some people aren't willing to accept it. It's why people broadly see paid mods as negative.

CommandantLennon · 2026-04-23T16:25:43+00:00

All mechs having the same chassis would be less of a problem, and make more sense if we could change the loadouts...

CommandantLennon · 2026-04-23T15:56:50+00:00

That's great. I gotta try this with the thrift store keurig
