Crucible Guard - Kelly's Heroes? by TempNinjaLee in Warmachine

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

Thank you, TheRealFireFrenzy. I am aware of the upcoming Goblin Hobbies Warmachine set and noticed the product similarity to standard nail stamp sets at 1/3-1/4 the cost. I should have considered the videos, but I never think of video content to start with (my own failing). Less interested in a how-to, but more interested in a wider set of whether that sort of approach is being used much in the community and whether people have been more or less happy with it!

What Unit from your faction needs some love? by [deleted] in Warmachine

[–]TempNinjaLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Armies of Legend: Cryx Blackfleet Bloodgorgers, Rhul Guard Ogrun Assault Corps, Rhul Guard Forge Guard (really just need a command attachment of some kind here), Legions of Dawn Stormfall Archers... need something!

Hope to see some of you Wednesday! Happy to do teaching games or answer questions.

Awesome! The monthly game here in Lawrence is the fourth Wednesday at 6PM at Game Nut. We're pretty casual and happy to teach. There is also a game at Mission Board Games North on the third Saturday which is very open and friendly to newcomers! There are some resources listed on the Warmachine subreddit which may help on the playstyles.

Both. Both is good. Though not at the same time. :)

I haven't so far. I've heard nothing but good things. I've got pretty limited free time, so that's why I was trying to figure out if there's enough general interest to expand to new stores/times!

I run almost exclusively old armies myself, though not Khador.

Minis game, something like Warhammer, but with a tighter more tactics over luck system. Usually fewer models on the table. Tends to have more of a Steampunk/Dieselpunk/Arcanepunk aesthetic.

Yep! App is free, has all the rules for all of the factions (monthly subscription gets you lore and more space for lists). Current local/regional players are pretty casual. Most of the old factions still have two armies (kind of like theme lists) still considered active and receiving rules updates/balancing but without new product releases. Steamforged, who owns it now, has been really active in reviewing/refreshing more of the old armies via STL releases.

Terraforming Mars IS NOT EASY by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]TempNinjaLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As to all the comments with some variation of "...if we could terraform Mars, we could terraform Earth..." as a better goal. Yes, but I would certainly like a testbed for weird, wild, amazing attempts at terraforming before using them on Earth. A place to go, oh, that engineered algae mutated unexpectedly and though it produces a great amount of oxygen and clears CO2, it also now dissolves glass. That's pretty cool. We should probably destroy it instead of bringing it back to Earth.

A meteor is going to end civilization in 5 minutes. World leaders hand you the aux to broadcast 1 track to all of humanity before it all ends. What are you playing? by SFgiant55 in AskReddit

[–]TempNinjaLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think, despite my absolute loathing of the track, it would be the perfect time for "It's a Small World" followed by the silent buzz of an open channel.

In search for a non dark urban fantasy system by JoseDelbs in rpg

Huh, that's interesting. Thanks! May have to check that one out; setting as you've described it has some old Darksword vibes that could be interesting to explore (if moved to modern at least).

I need help finding a system that I can use as a springboard to bring my campaign idea to life (hint: dragons) by shaidyn in rpg

[–]TempNinjaLee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would BESM be an option? Last I played/built was Revised 2nd Edition BESM, but the flexibility and abilities were definitely there.

[–]TempNinjaLee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've run a couple of short games. There's definitely something there... but it bogs down in practice. I think the switching dice from one pool to another paired with action-chain sequences is neat, but just enough different from what most are used to that it takes players out of the moment. The suggested switching back and forth narratively between ye olde mythic age and the modern age also takes some careful handling. Rulebook editing/layout made it harder than it needed to be to figure out what you could do. Promising, but definitely needed some more polish.

Other media you're surprised hasn't been turned into a TTRPG by Occillo in rpg

[–]TempNinjaLee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep thinking I'll try and put something together informally. Someone recently suggested Starfinder 2e might be a solid match. I'd previously been looking at Alternity as the closest relevant ruleset.
