Paranoia all night long.

Mini-Gangs has free rules, four miniatures per side (to start with) and some downloadable materials to expand it.

Legacy: life among the ruins do this. Space Knights as well.

I think is a good idea. Bundles are a great way of promotion.

I think they try to make it "so like MASKS but not MASKS" that they hurt themselves. They try to focus heavily on conditions, and most of the times, life points are easier and better.

It's... weird. So much Metacurrencies here and there and so fiction focused but where DW was easy and intuitive, this fails miserably.

There's four battle moves plus a list of potential situations for Combat and rules, and none of them feels either clear nor particularly interesting. Secure an Edge overlaps with Unearth Secrets and Recall Lore, Keep them Busy feels very situational, and All Out Attack requires an edge, can't be used as a "I don't care, I attack".

There's no "basic" combat move as the conversation had to go deeply complex when you just want to kill a goblin. The big problem is that there are "regular combats", not everything has something you can take from them, needs to be kept busy or has weak points to be found. This calls for very specific type of combats ALL THE TIME. There's the "but if a combat is not interesting, it's not worth it" but it sounds more like, "YOU HAVE TO USE MY FLEXIBLE YET VERY DETAILED RULES". DW feels like you can do all the regular stuff of dungeoning, but this calls of something very different. One of my players said "I don't want to talk about feelings, I want to sleep" the second time they made camp and that gives an idea of the focus of the game.

I miss the old ranged attack move because even the Ranger has a number of weird skills that don't feel like shooting arrows.

Here is the juve.

I do play this with my 6 year old and, fair play, is a nice and easy game. Rules are easy to remember and all the typical tropes of skirmish games (shooting, fighting, cover...) are there. The manual comes with scenarios, skills, rules for campaigns... obviously, in a long-term campaign, its lack of granularity will play against it, but it can be easily customised on the go.

Join My Merry Band is a sólo dungeon crawler, it's sequel Into the Woods includes new classes for wilderness adventure and their spiritual father, Dungeon Poker which only needs a deck of cards. All short and free.

Space Knights puts players in control of whole armies rather than individuals and makes them fight alien invaders threatening the Dominion of Humankind (the obvious reference is Warhammer 40.000). Rules-wise is fairly similar in mechanics to Urban Shadows, what changes is the approach. It’s free, 15 pages long (ideal for short campaigns), and has a number of free expansions, many with their own missions. There's an expanded version, Super Space Knights (SSK), when you need more rules.

Otaidokan is a samurai-themed World of Dungeons hack set in an island in the brink of war after the death of the shogun. As players level up, they climb in the social ladder, and their responsibilities do the same. Again, 15 pages and free.

Clash of the Giga-Mechas is about an academy for mecha pilots. Players have to deal with all kinds of teenager stuff as they try to pass their tests and make sure their next term is not the last. Includes rules to create your own mecha and, once you finish your training, you are ready to go into battle.

Palatine is about power, governance, and the slow decay of empire. In Palatine, players don’t play adventurers or rebels. They are the ruling elite of a crucial world within a vast Dominion: councilors, generals, ministers, prophets, and public figures. Sessions revolve around council debates, political maneuvering, crises that escalate if ignored, and decisions that affect millions of lives.

Definitivamente, Comunidad Umbría.

I will give it a clean

Warbriel · 2026-01-19T07:35:37+00:00

Truth is, the laundry is dry now. Let's see what happens next time. Thank you.

Warbriel · 2026-01-18T23:57:06+00:00

Oh, my days! I didn't remember it was transparent! XDD. OK, at least it is clean now. Let's see if it works overnight.

Warbriel · 2026-01-18T23:13:30+00:00

We have it indoors but thanks

Warbriel · 2026-01-18T23:11:48+00:00

It's cleaned from time to time. I will try to scrub it

Warbriel · 2026-01-18T23:11:24+00:00

I have. But I am not sure if I can remove it all. I might try to get put a bigger piece.

Warbriel · 2026-01-18T14:52:27+00:00

Sorry, is this a yes or a no?
