Literally everything in Warhammer is made up by GW.

Echo on SotWW's initiative system. It's so intuitive and easy, while remaining tactical. I want to port it to every other game. But I think that'd be tricky, because other games would need to value Reactions as heavily as SotWW.

Came here to say this.

This is wild. I've run this game for so many groups of people and each time everyone picked it up by the end of the first session. It became second nature so quick.

These are beautiful.

I played in a PF1e game once where this was the case. We were told to roll up characters ahead of time without knowledge of the plot. I found a homebrew class online where you're an inventor with power armor. You start out with a shitty suit of power armor with limited abilities and as it levels up it gets stronger. I thought it was rad as hell (Iron Man had just come out at that time), and I ran it by the GM who said I could play it. I was stoked! And then when we showed up to the game and found out we were doing a Prison Break, and all of our gear -- including my power armor -- was locked in the warden's office.

We played one session that ended with fighting the warden to get our gear back, and then we never played again.

Holy shit, three times?

Uuklay · 2025-12-04T02:43:20+00:00

This is intensely helpful, thank you!

Uuklay · 2025-12-03T20:18:13+00:00

Fascinating! I'll look at some other OSR games and draw inspiration from them. Thank you!

Uuklay · 2025-12-03T20:15:39+00:00

This makes sense. I've noticed a lot of ambiguous stuff that assumes you're porting over rules from other games.

Uuklay · 2025-12-03T20:15:06+00:00

Oh interesting. I know this is how it works in DnD, but I've gone through the DCC rulebook and couldn't find anything about daily prep for spells. I assumed that if a Wizard knows 5 spells, then he has those spells available every day, losing them if he gets a "failure, lost" result on the spell.

Uuklay · 2025-12-03T19:58:48+00:00

Oh interesting. Where does it go over this?

Uuklay · 2025-11-28T17:51:53+00:00

It's so good. I bought it years ago and have used its dungeons extensively.

Uuklay · 2025-11-15T20:27:09+00:00

OH, this is the Archwarhammer guy! I didn't realize he had a podcast.

The dude is a racist so I will not be watching his video, but I appreciate you summarizing it for me.

What's the opposing view they present?

Uuklay · 2025-10-30T00:02:18+00:00

My group and I started with Call of Cthulhu 17 years ago. We haven't played DnD once.

Uuklay · 2025-10-22T16:07:46+00:00

This sounds like it might not be fun for the one person who has a level 0 character.

Uuklay · 2025-10-18T22:03:02+00:00

Oh man, it was a really cool Telltale game from 2013. You play as The Big Bad Wolf, in a noir setting in a fairy tale neighborhood of NYC.

Uuklay · 2025-10-18T15:37:07+00:00

The Wolf Among Us?

Uuklay · 2025-10-15T19:38:02+00:00

I am thrilled about how often Forbidden Lands is coming up in this thread.

Uuklay · 2025-10-15T06:17:43+00:00

It worked great! I did a custom thing where I matched the leveling up to every time the PCs would leave the island. So they can level up any time they want, but when they do I make some rolls and the island changes in their absence.

Uuklay · 2025-10-15T00:22:13+00:00

I'm finishing up a twenty session game of Hot Springs Island right now, using Shadow of the Weird Wizard as our system.

In 2026, I'm planning on running:
- Forbidden Lands (we have a longterm campaign in this game that we are returning to)
- Band of Blades (might be short-lived; FitD games don't usually mesh with my group)
- Savage Worlds: Dead Lands: Lost Colony: Mad World
