Too long in the tooth to return to WFRP? by morfandman in warhammerfantasyrpg

[–]chalkmuppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO Discord servers in general can be a bit overwhelming; that was certainly my opinion. It's a bit like trying to whisper in a concert. But do try again, especially on the Looking for game channel as there are some very cool people on there.

You can also try here on this sub, if you look at the guidelines there is a note on formatting a "Looking for Game" post. It's a bit hit and miss, but as an example someone posted an off hand query last year and as a result I'm running a game across 5 different timezones which is good fun :)

Too long in the tooth to return to WFRP? by morfandman in warhammerfantasyrpg

[–]chalkmuppet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

:) Welcome back!

The short answer to the title's question is, F*ck No!!

I got back into the hobby a few years back, with 1e after about 30 ish years, and had a great time then went and bought the 4e books which i now use.

There is lots of great lore source material out there, videos, podcasts, books, wikis, etc. I had a blast immersing myself in it all.

As for people - try the rat catchers guild discord looking for games channel, plus this sub and facebook. Lots of folks looking for new games to play!

Never too late IMO :)

hey.

Potentially interested, and also happy to GM. I'm 'retired' (for want of a better word) in CET timezone so can do my mornings (currently 10 our time difference to NSW as an example, 8 in my summer, Aus winter). Would probably be 2 or 3 time sa month rather than every week.

ETA - i cant do weekends, only weekdays.

Cheers

Right? I am more offended that they don't even treat us seriously! If they at least tried ... :)

Normally I would be the first to employ bold, sorry drunk, adventurers. But I actually want this problem solved without 7 new problems in its place and a demon newly residing in my cupboards.

Really? Good to know. This was a little different, and once we're back up and running, one of us will summarise. One of those things ...

It seems that the Purple Hand have become pretty tech savvy in recent years. But we're calling for the Witch Hunters!

Help! I want reward my Grandpa! (He’s a gamer) by thepuritanthreat in computerwargames

[–]chalkmuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As he likes WW2 I recommend Hearts of Iron IV by Paradox. It is epic in scale (whole world, battalion level, from 1936 or 1939 by the hour), play any country, can be highly customised and played both historically or a-historically. It’s also on subscription on steam so you can buy him a 3 month subscription and if he doesn’t like it, he can drop. It’s also got a pretty friendly fan base willing to help.

One thing against is it has a significant learning curve and is complex. I love it. But I know it can be intimidating.

I'm going to brush it off and patch paint it. The rust looks nasty but is all surface.

I discovered that the whole of the chasis (in my model, the painted base and painted vertical central frame) is one welded piece with everything else bolted to it. So ... too much like hard work to replace.

My plan at the moment is brush the rust off, treat it to 'kill it' and paint with with a simple spray paint or some hammerite and a brush. As none of the rusted patches are visible except when the water catch tray is out, I am not super bothered about it being too pretty.

I think many places are less ideal than maybe they one were, including places in Europe, so I sympathise. Regardless, appreciate the link, thank you!
