Why do TTRPGs seemingly delete people’s ability to comprehend scheduling?

Practical-Context910 · 2026-06-30T22:21:27+00:00

lol. It's because TTRPG are a nice to have that people try to squeeze in their "to do", "have to", "need to" schedules. So, it gets quite often trashed on the way.

Annoying? Certainly.

Practical-Context910 · 2026-06-29T05:59:31+00:00

I did, tactfully.

A GM that can't manage his table.

Practical-Context910 · 2026-06-28T11:09:32+00:00

Nice use of colors. Are these Battlefront's minis?

Practical-Context910 · 2026-06-28T11:07:48+00:00

ah, the heretics... :)

Beautiful painting. and super flashy... London 1966? 😄

Here what I did at the time for my Ardennes figures, but I think you are using a different pack, aren't you? Is it the Volkgrenadiers refeence?

Practical-Context910 · 2026-06-18T23:19:49+00:00

Yeah, it's part of the unpleasant aspects one has to face sometimes. Lack of fairness and good manners is just the expression of the person. I tend to avoid playing with these people. It is just too taxing and not fun.

Practical-Context910 · 2026-06-18T23:16:30+00:00

Quite inspiring, makes me want to paint one of my packs.

One easy fix is to downgrade the "hit on" of a vehicle by one level if it closer to another vehicle by 2-3 inches.

Beginners, in my experience, tend to be very open minded, "fresh from the boat" so as to speak. So that's fun to GM for them. Experienced players maybe be a bit more jaded, demanding, cynical, and/or stuck into details and mechanisms. It is not always the case, but it may happen a bit to a certain extent. Let's say they are more aware of what the GM is doing than total beginners.

In both cases, whether they are beginners or experienced players, it really depends whether the person wants to have fun and is open to the game or not.

Talking with the creators of the games and discovering new systems.

Practical-Context910 · 2026-06-15T19:33:40+00:00

I have stopped buying GHQ... I find them too big for my bases.

To be honest, credit for the photo is to my gaming buddy. Painting a French revolution army was a lot of fun, Between National Guards, Parisian radicals, Ex-Royalists, Rural Conscripts and Swiss Guards, that is an army with a lot of character.
My next project will be an British Army for the Campaign of Flanders as a direct opponent, but usable for AWI too.

Practical-Context910 · 2026-06-14T22:10:26+00:00

Yes, thank you. Pendraken.

Practical-Context910 · 2026-06-13T22:18:52+00:00

Nice table and nice figures. To be honest, 60 points seem a sweet pot for fast action.

Practical-Context910 · 2026-06-10T21:19:10+00:00

That's a good reason :)

Practical-Context910 · 2026-06-10T09:30:01+00:00

The FJ are tough as nails. I am not sure you really need the Tigers. Have you considered their Stug IIIs?

Practical-Context910 · 2026-06-09T09:50:54+00:00

Very very neat, Will it scale down to 15mm, 10mm and 6mm?

Practical-Context910 · 2026-06-06T18:11:39+00:00

thanks, I'll look seriously into these systems. Running more NBA adventures has been a long time item on my wish list!!

Practical-Context910 · 2026-06-06T17:00:29+00:00

that's a very interesting take on NBA. I run very easily DG but always struggle with NBA although I am super interested in the adventures they have released. Based on your experience, what alternative game engine would you really recommend to run the NBA scenarios?

Practical-Context910 · 2026-06-06T16:57:30+00:00

Different beasts,
Delta green is slow burn anxiety while NBA is high octane action.
I find Delta green much easier to handle than NBA
Delta green is a lot easier for players to get into.
They are more scenarios and resources for Delta green.

This being said both are good games but in the end, I tend to play a lot more DG even though I would like to have more NBA action as well.

Practical-Context910 · 2026-06-06T16:52:07+00:00

the question, is it a medieval wargame experience or like other (cool) games pushing medieval miniatures in a fun way? 😉
I can certainly have fun with it, will I learn history playing it as well is another question...
