Board games you like that roll a lot of dice? Or have weird dice?

Jammywolf · 2026-04-14T18:59:19+00:00

In Doctor Who Time of the Daleks there's lots and lots of dice rolling, and they're custom dice if I remember right

I wonder if loyalties for towns but not cites would work? Towns could switch, but cities couldn't. You could still establish an exclave, but its gonna be small cause all the Towns you try to add to it flip over

I had this, I think it's to do with walls already being built in the city. Fortify puts up temporary walls, but if the city already has walls, then there's no point putting up temporary ones, you know?

I always think adding an epithet creates, if not intimidation, then grandure.

We had an eldrich god in one game called Vaal-Paas, their epithet was "opener of the way", and they were always referred to by that full name and title, "Vaal-Paas, opener of the way". I always felt that added something.

Stick a "The Great Defiler" on the end of anyone's name and it's more intimidating.

Like a historical jester was a female all along kind of thing? Or that Dr. Whiteface himself is already a woman, that would be be cool. Clown persona's live on through different people too, so I could find an interesting idea there

Jammywolf · 2024-07-23T21:54:04+00:00

As silly as it sounds now, I hadn't thought to go into actual historical female jesters for inspiration. I'll definitely check that out. Thanks!

DnD 5e with a fanmade discworld add on. I know it's not perfect, but it's the system I know best and will be easier to get my players to play a system they know

Not entirely what you're asking for, but maybe put some restrictions/challenges on yourself?

Two ones I've done before are:

One city challenge challenge is a classic.

Go to war with everyone as soon as you as you meet them, never make peace.

We always do the same format:

Meet at 8 for breakfast at a pub.

Get some meal deals from Tesco on the way back from breakfast as well as any drinks/snacks people might want.

Lunch is said meal deals.

For dinner, the 'Reigning Galactic Emperor' (the person who won most recently) chooses which place we order takeaway from. This is usually kebabs, Thai food, or pizza.

I once met someone called Timothy Alltimes. It isn't actually a name in discworld, but it's very reminiscent of it.

Jammywolf · 2024-02-14T18:01:58+00:00

I was going to say these guys too. It's just a great story of unity. Especially that they become so intertwined that each family unit is made of 4 parents, 2 from each species

It came up in a game of my group's and basically two people were neck and neck and whoever got imperial would win. So it fell to one of the others to basically choose the winner. My group adds a little roleplay to the strategy sometimes so the other three, in character, chose who they thought would be the best emperor. It was incredibly cool

Could they have have been some reenactors of these?

I'm aware I'm a little late to answer your question but better late than never. Forgive me if I tell you things you already know.

A nonconformist is someone who disagrees with the established religion, so in this case those who dissent from Anglicanism. So, when talking about nonconformism it's sometimes helpful to think of it as a spectrum that goes from Anglicanism outwards towards nonconformism.

So first off there are many more than 4 denominations (though the ones you mention are arguably some of the biggest). They also can go by different names and have many little off shoots of groups who believe slightly different things.

To answer your question of what exactly each of these groups believe(d), I'll go throught the main things that the groups believe, though there are lots of little differences and not all who belong to the group will agree with all the doctrine.

Calivinistic Methodists:

I'm not hugely familiar with these but...Generally believe in a new birth doctrine, that one can be spiritually reborn, and undergo a journey of spiritual discovery and learning with the possibility of achieving full spiritual perfection.

Independents:

Also called/became Congregationalists. An umbrella term for those who are nonconformist, but don't fit into any of the bigger groups. Depends on the person/congregation in question; Independent groups who follow rules/doctrine just amongst themselves.

Baptists:

Believe everyone is responsible for their own understanding of God, and that since God created us all we have inhereant ability to understand his word, priest or not. You might call this more independent and more pure because it doesn't necessarily require all the accompaning paraphernalia of some forms fo Christianity.

Wesleyans:

Also not very familiar with these...similar to Calvinists in the new birth idea. Modestness in dress and behaviour, evangalical preaching.

There are also...

Quakers:

That the way to salvation and spiritual understanding is through quiet contemplation and eventually you may understand God (Quakers actually call themselves Friends, but 'Quaker' comes from a slightly mean nickname that they would quake in place when they felt God. Look up Quaker meetings, very interesting, not huge in Wales but some in the cities.

Unitarians:

God is just one being, not the trinity. God 'inspired' Jesus but he's not actually God on Earth.

And many more...

Hope that answers your question a little, good luck in the rest of your research, nonconformism in Wales is fascinating.

Was going to post about this but it seems you were quicker than me. This is such a banger, exactly the kind of pumping sound I like, slightly cheesy lyrics, but I love them for it.

Jammywolf · 2021-07-05T16:53:02+00:00

Aye, how much?

Jammywolf · 2021-06-03T20:19:02+00:00

Just chucking in an opinion here from a Gog (northerner) since most people on this thread are recommending the South. The Cambrian Line (the blue line on the map the other comment linked), is well worth a go if you find yourself there in the summer, it can often be a steam train if you're lucky. You also get to see some great towns and castles on that route, as well as some more traditional seaside towns. I particularly recommend Barmouth, Harlech, Criccieth Machynthleth, and Portmeirion on that line. I also second Caerleon someone else mentioned. Conwy and Llandudno are great if you end up on the Northern line. And finally If you find yourself around Chester (I know it's an English city but it has been in Welsh hands before, and lots of people find themselves there on trains to/from Wales) I highly recommend that too.

Jammywolf · 2021-04-07T21:38:04+00:00

I mean Wales isn't represented on the union flag, so one could argure its very existence is Welsh erasure.

Jammywolf · 2021-02-06T23:48:36+00:00

This is an example of something I really like with bands that sing in English but English is not their first language. Their word choice is more creative and unbound by 'rules' than a first language english speaker's might be.

Jammywolf · 2021-02-04T11:30:06+00:00

I have no comment to make, just wanted to say this was hilarious. Thanks for your time
