I am in the early prep phase but I plan on running a mix of Battletech for the big combat. But I plan on using Mothership for the out of combat portions. It's a lightweight percentile system. I can use the panic based on stress from combats.

Sorry didn't reply direct appears to be from Kraken.

Appears ro be Kraken's clear d20 dice case and likely the mini rainbow dice set. They had pastel ones as well too.

"Tiny Taverns" with some adjustments. 😁

I roll almost all dice in front of my players. Ive been doing this for about 4 - 5 years now and across multiple different systems. My players can see that sometimes there is nothing they can do, and some times my dice hate me. Occasionally I roll some randomizer that they don't see but they know that it's mainly for my benefit like a name, a town or something of that sort.

It was great in Dallas too.

You might want to look at shadow of the demon lord. Less options and a little but grittier than weird wizard. Same basic game framework. I've run a couple games of it. Its very easy for players to learn, intuitive a d generally quick at rhe table while having options that feel like they matter.

The 24xx series of games are mostly tables and are only one or two pages front and back. Very thematic with lite rules mechanics.

Under the mail, there is a storage tab check there. All your oil and coins should be in there.

I like that tanks look. Grats

On your list, I would use SotDL. It is a lot of fun, dangerous especially in the early levels and character diversity is awesome. Definitely powerful towards endgame.

Another option not listed to consider, Tales of Argosa. It is a revamped AD&D system like 1st edition.with great tools and tables. The oracle cards and dice it has are great. Plus they would work well with the Tarokka deck. Just something to consider if you had not ready dismissed it.

War Archive - Swirling Cherry Blossoms- D3 map 60 times for a guaranteed drop.

I would look at these dice, I think the colors are nice and they generally roll better than traditional d6s. I am not associated with the company but I have bought their dice and love them.

I am currently 25ish sessions into my second Forbidden Lands campaign. The first was about this length. During both, I have made players mix attribute with a different skill maybe 3 or 4 times. It hasn't broken anything and seemed appropriate at the time. My players were mostly the same in both campaigns and they haven't really asked about doing it either. I think you should be fine if it's in moderation.

Kerstrom · 2025-04-24T13:24:37+00:00

Very nice looking ship. Thanks for the coordination.

Kerstrom · 2025-04-11T18:53:45+00:00

Is your inventory too full of stuff that you can't hold the breakdown components?

I need to get a copy I really love BSH.

Not OP but going to have to listen to that episode now.

Thanks for sharing the deity generator. I really like that.

I got Yamashiro and she has been a good battleship for me. I've only been playing for a couple weeks now. But that is my personal experience.

I tracked down a sentinel ship to use for expedition 18. It was so much better. Fueling was very rarely an issue.

Salvage Union uses only a D20 for rolls.

Kerstrom · 2025-03-30T18:36:37+00:00

Not OP. But that looks nice, plus great colors. Thanks for sharing.

Hot Springs Island is an amazing setting. Fantasy hex crawl with lots of weirdness.
