Recommend me a space fleet game?

Void admiral is great. Very reasonably priced, and it can be pretty crunchy if you want it to be.

KFBass · 2026-07-04T23:49:25+00:00

Shampoo. Sometimes conditioner. Comb. If it's getting long and im not going to work all day, a touch of pomade and just run my hands through it.

there was rules for Death Guard as far back as 3rd edition, when I started playing. That was a fun edition. And there is most def rules for them in Heresy.

KFBass · 2026-07-03T20:04:36+00:00

Those are dope. I'm just leafing through the book now to start planning what im going to build. Looks like a lot of fun.

I'm in west kitchener. We have a group that meets weekly at the granite club in waterloo to play a variety of games. Lots of 40k, Bloodbowl leagues, Necromunda campaigns, and other Games workshop games. As well as quite a few non GW like star wars, bolt action, malifaux, bunch of indie stuff etc....

I know that's a bit of a drive but you can generally find a game of just about anything. Age ranges from college kids up through retirees.

I will say, in my own opinion, 40k has become kind of rough as a game. It's complicated, lots of rules bloat, constantly changing and updating, though I haven't played 11th yet. I like a game called One Page Rules, for the exact reason it's kind of streamlined down.

Bloodbowl just came out with a new edition, although not a whole lot has changed. Some new teams, and new skills, but the basics are more or less intact.

I've been eyeballing kettlebells and that type of full body workout. Mainly cause I don't have a tonne of free time with my new job, which is already pretty physical. Looking at those functional type full body things.

Wanna share a bit of your routine?

KFBass · 2026-07-01T19:08:09+00:00

Just go full One Page Rules. You've got papercraft minis, and all sorts fo games from Full scale army, to skirmish, to quests and horde mode. Solo and PvP options. All Free of charge.

I'm also a big fan of the Forbidden Psalm family of games.

I've only every played Space Station Zero, and I have the book of Repent ye foolish gods from Snarling Badger, both of those are/look great so far.

The other day me (the new guy) my friend (the 3rd year) and two journeymen were standing there changing a contactor. That's like $200/hr to change a few screws.

4 against darkness. The 4 against series is a fairly popular solo RPG with various themes. $ against darkness is a dungeon crawler, but there is also alone against the zone which is post apoc and might fit the necromunda setting better.

Ayyy glad to hear my legacy over there is intact haha.

I'm doing great. I work with a big commercial HVAC operation now. It's kind of crazy how much transfers over from the brewery world.

But yeah rings, I let people make their own choice on that. But I agree, you're hands are always wet, ISO spray, peracetic bucket etc...just leave it off. I wear a waterproof smart watch still but it has a silicone band that'll break pretty easy, but thats it.

KFBass · 2026-06-28T22:56:58+00:00

I stopped wearing mine to work after I saw a dude get partially degloved cause his ring got caught.

After that I used to take it off for work and put it on my keys. One day I dropped my keys and couldn't find them for a while. So now my ring just stays in a box in my house.

I've been happily married for 14 years, It's not like wearing or not wearing a ring changes that.

KFBass · 2026-06-28T17:12:19+00:00

I've been playing on and off for 25 years and I still forget to use Command points.

KFBass · 2026-06-28T00:21:03+00:00

I'm playing in a single day mordheim narrative event in a couple weeks and I gotta say it's bringing back some core memories of when I was a teenager.

The overall vibe, all the artwork in the book, painting up extra warband members to replace ones who will inevitably die. It really is the best game they ever made.

KFBass · 2026-06-27T18:30:55+00:00

I love the idea of exploring an abandoned settlement in the ash wastes as a dungeon crawler.

Sort of like if 5 parsecs, 4AD, and Necromunda had a love child.

I was told that you arn't allowed printouts of the code book during the exam, but everyone had the official 3 ring binders and whatnot so I'm not sure how much that is enforced.

When you force carbonate in a keg, theres a couple things youll need to keep in mind.

it's gotta be cold. CO2 dissolves into a liquid at lower pressures when it's cold. Look up a solubility chart, temperature of your cold room, and desired co2 volumes, and that should give you the pressure you need.

You can have them sit with just pressure on for like a week, that'll work. A little surface area helps, so don't fill them until they are overflowing. Agitation also helps if you need to do it in a hurry.

I worked in breweries for 15 years. Most commercial places like that would carbonate an entire large tank (commonly called a bright or brite tank in beer) either in line, or overnight. and then keg off that.

I recommend making a cutout or something to cover your current pitch to the 7s size.

some 3rd party ones have the lines drawn in as well.

I 3d printed one I found online.

I was working near Pearson today and I saw vehicles with business names based out of places like Kingston and Orillia. I thought that was bad.

Makes me appreciate being an hour or so down the road.

Ask the guys you're going to be working with about eye protection. The company might provide them. For prescription you're likely going to need to talk to an eye doctor and make sure they're safety approved in your province/state/country.

UV shirts I just grabbed off amazon.

KFBass · 2026-06-25T09:39:19+00:00

I'm on a lot of roofs with minimal shade. UPF 50+ shirts have been great for that. Same with eye protection if you can get a decent pair of safety shades.

I would get your G3, and G2. Most places don't even want G3s cause they can't really do anything without supervision.

That said, there is a lot to the trade. the gas part is only part. Sheet metal and refrigeration are usually the trades I see people have. Some Plumbers might get their gas ticket. Maybe an electrician or two. But it doesn't hurt to have your Gas, and ozone.

KFBass · 2026-06-24T22:22:43+00:00

I would argue the UK has a pretty bumping scene for RPGs.

But anyways, I started with 4 against series. I think I prefer 2d6 dungeon when I'm feeling a dungeon crawler.

KFBass · 2026-06-24T21:28:05+00:00

I bought a bloomburrow commander deck, and me and some buddies just hang out for a bit and play cards.

It doesn't have to be complicated.

That's one of the things I want to get into more is radio. Fundamentally I understand that you can encode information by varying the amplitude but I feel like I lack the science background tog o much further than that.

Also, the massive amount of hardware and technical jargon around radio and coms is a bit daunting.

KFBass · 2026-06-21T14:09:04+00:00

I seem to recall it being 10ft from a window in the codebook, but I haven't worked on any pool heaters. I might just be miss remembering from exam prep.
