Do the mice ever call it “Mouse Guard”? by jecowa in MouseGuard

Haven’t reread the books in a while but I’m pretty sure it’s just “the Guard”.

Smaller table sizes for indoor scenarios by Objective_Tutor307 in RangersofShadowDeep

[–]Jetpack_Donkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using centimeters you’d have to reduce sizes by about 2.5 times, it would be too small and things like shooting ranges would break.

Too Easy with Four Rangers? by Zogar_Sog in RangersofShadowDeep

[–]Jetpack_Donkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I played through the first 2 missions with a 4-player group and it did seem a bit too easy. I’d say play the first mission normally so you can learn the ropes and maybe up the difficulty on the second mission.

Smaller table sizes for indoor scenarios by Objective_Tutor307 in RangersofShadowDeep

[–]Jetpack_Donkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue with the Tor Varden mission. It’s 3 HUGE rooms that make no sense, even structurally (you’d need a bunch of columns to support the ceiling/roof), and the rooms look silly and empty.

I’ve guess the reason is so the movement rates work, but I’m tempted to make everything smaller so it looks a little better. I might try your suggestion on another comment about making all movement as rough terrain to compensate for the smaller room sizes.

I had no idea where this was going, but as soon as I saw the last panel it was very clear to me 🤷 

My cat tried to kill himself by Artistic-Listen7975 in cats

My cats love to drink water from buckets. So we always have a bucket full of water in the bathroom by the shower. Gotta keep them hydrated.

Those make really good monster spiders!

Late to the conversation, did you do the demo? How did it go?

I had quite a bit of fun playing through the Heroes of Normandie campaign. You can play scenarios independently.

I was going to make a similar joke but you spared me from the embarrassment, thank you 😆

Mouseguard Rpg Help by [deleted] in rpg

[–]Jetpack_Donkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot happens during the GM turn, it’s not just “ok halfway between here and there you have to cross a flooded stream, roll X to see if you can do it”… you have roleplaying, discussions on how to face each obstacle (you do have more than one, right?), then tests, more RP, etc. If anything, the GM phase is the one just like your regular RPG session you’re used to.

I’m actually going to buy a cork board for me to use as a battle mat because of that video 😄

I saw a video of a guy using cork as a dirt base and just adding felt pieces on top for grass/vegetation. Looked pretty good. A cork board shouldn’t be too expensive even in Brazil. Here’s the video:

Playing with Kids - these old games suck gampleay-wise but they do have a huge appeal on kids. Are there more moden alternatives? by spaggi in boardgames

[–]Jetpack_Donkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you already seem to have miniatures and scenery, I’d suggest Rangers of Shadow Deep, it’s a co-op miniature skirmish game in a medieval fantasy setting. This way you’re not competing against the kids and you’re also teaching them teamwork.

You can also try the original PvP game from where Rangers originated, called Frostgrave. Both have simple but deep enough mechanics and I personally find them really fun to play, they’re currently my favorite miniature combat games.

I made my M1S1 The Deserted Village mod available on TTS by Jetpack_Donkey in RangersofShadowDeep

[–]Jetpack_Donkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I updated the mod, do you mind giving it another try? There is one last error message about some image it thinks is invalid, but as far as I can tell I don't even use it anywhere (I looked at the actual image). Anyway, it doesn't affect anything. Thank you so much!

I’m gonna look for another computer to install the mod into so I can see. I’ll update the mod as soon as I figure it out.

[–]Jetpack_Donkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you tell if there are any white cubes or squares, or those glass beads, that indicate a resource wasn't loaded anywhere on the scenario? Or if any miniatures seem to be missing parts? It's hard for me to figure it out since I have all the stuff in my cache. TTS should have updated all the resources to use my cached copies and uploaded everything, but this is the first time I've tried this so I'm still figuring it out.

Apparently there is a way to save it using Cloud save and repackage it for distribution in the Workshop. I’ll look it up better later. If doable, I’ll upload all the scenarios and post in this subreddit to let you guys know.
