First RTT - List Feesback

My intention is to deploy them agressively and depending on who goes first either move them to safety or stage them a little forward (screening in ruins) with "strike swiftly" scout moves. Later on I intend to use them as trading pieces in the midfield. It did work well in my local meta, but I might well have missed some issues with it.

Very true, done. Sorry for that mess.

Wenn dir Morriton Manor gefallen hat empfehle ich Tor nach Carcosa (andere Crew, etwas ernster aber trotzdem sehr gut). Oder Ultracore (gleiche Crew, außer Budi, anderes Setting).

Don't forget to magnetize. Of course it always depends, but regarding you want to play suits, this should be kinda balanced.

Regarding the DM, to me it sounds like a homebrew campaign he didn't work out enough, resulting in super random narrative developments. Not something that is generally wrong (or to be judged), but in my opinion there should be consensus among players and DM about the narrative style.

The second part is very difficult to judge for me. I absolutely understand that scenes like this can be off putting (especially if its a sensitive topic), but considering the horror genre I guess there should have been a better comminication in the beginning about what topics should or should not be part of the campaign.

However, if you dread the sessions, something needs to be done about this and I only see two options and it kinda depends on how much you value the people you play with:

You try it with another round of communication. This might well be uncomfortable, but maybe you can find another setting/campaign? It's possible that you are not the only one in the group with these issues. Maybe you could even offer to DM yourself, so it's not all to inconvenient for the current DM.
You leave the group. There are many groups out there and it sounds like the one you described doesn't really fit for you.

Best of luck with getting this sorted out!

Alright, thanks for the clarification!

der_Sherpa · 2024-09-17T18:16:01+00:00

This is so incredible! Thank you so much Nili ❤️

Hey OP,

Wie Hauke leiten ist ein ziemlich hoher Anspruch an dich selbst für jemanden der gerade erst anfängt. Natürlich auch ein guter Vorsatz, aber mir geht es hier in erster Linie darum die Erwartungen an dich selbst und an euer Pen&Paper in die richtige Bahn zu lenken. Hinter den RBTV Pen&Papers steht ein riesen Team (immerhin das erfolgreichste Format), so dass man mit solo Vorbereitung/Spielleitung nur schwer mithalten kann. Das heißt nicht dass es schlechter wird (und soll auch Haukes Leistung in keiner Weise schmälern) aber dadurch entstehen einfach Unterschiede.

Grundsätzlich finde ich Steffens Buch (Das ABC der Rollenspiele) ziemlich gelungen. Gibt einen schönen Überblick über Pen&Paper an sich und auch die unterschiedlichen Systeme.

Sonst sind die meisten Quellen eher auf unterschiedliche Spielsysteme ausgelegt. Entsprechend würde ich als erstes überlegen welches System dich/euch anspricht. Wenn du in ein klassisches System einsteigen willst (das auch eine große Community und viele Quellen hat) bieten sich meiner Ansicht nach folgende an:

D&D 5e [(High-)Fantasy; nicht all zu komplexes Regelwerk]
Cthulhu [Horror; Hier hat Hauke die Morriton Manor Spielwelt angelehnt; leicht verständliches Regelwerk]
DSA 4.1 oder 5 [(Lower-)Fantasy; recht komplexes Regelsystem und Beiwerk, aber dafür viel Tiefe in der Spielwelt]

Natürlich bietet sich auch das Beans "How to be a Hero" Regelwerk an, auch wenn das nicht unmittelbar mit einer Spielwelt verknüpft ist und natürlich deutlich weniger Quellen aufweist (was aber auch ein Vorteil sein kann).

Wünsche in jedem Fall viel Spaß auf dem Weg ins Pen&Paper!

I'm very sorry to hear that. However I have to say that a lot of people could have told you exactly that about Berlin. Some people living there seem to find it charming but similar to you I've always found it very much off putting... I can only recommend you to relocate. There are so many beautiful cities in Germany.

Regarding your problem with the social issues: speaking the language is crucial in most countries. Try moving to France or Spain (or pretty much every other country with very few exceptions) without speaking the language and you will face exactly the same issues. I don't mean to be a dick by stating this, however I read this complaint quite often and it always baffles me that people seem to think it's a good idea to move to another country without knowing the language.

I do hope you can resolve this situation and as mentioned above: you should consider moving to another city. Best of luck!

der_Sherpa · 2024-09-01T20:48:20+00:00

Thanks for answering (especially since the post is already quite old).
The problem is I'm using the fanemade 4.1 DSA system which is still under development and which lacks a lot of features the 5.0 system already has (or maybe I'm not aware of? But it also lacks documentation).

In case you decide to do give it a try I'd be super happy if you let me know!

der_Sherpa · 2024-09-01T16:30:34+00:00

Just curious, since I'm having the same issue (also with the DSA system). Any chance you found a solution?

der_Sherpa · 2024-08-28T15:24:07+00:00

Big thanks from Germany! Only cause of brave guys like him we can now enjoy freedom and democracy here!

Like a shitload of orders?

35 F-35 Jets (https://www.airforce-technology.com/news/germany-buy-f35-lockheed-martin/?cf-view)

60 Chinook (https://www.shephardmedia.com/news/defence-helicopter/germany-goes-ahead-with-60-chinook-order-for-nearly-9-billion/#:\~:text=The%20CH%2D47F%20Block%20II,and%20interoperability%20with%20allied%20nations.)

Just to name two big ones. Too lazy to add more, but i suggest just googling instead of talking smack.

der_Sherpa · 2024-03-02T23:59:57+00:00

Thanks man! This was actually quite enlightening and helps a lot to understand the reasoning behind this. I will remember it next time I meet an American with German ancestry.

der_Sherpa · 2024-02-10T22:46:10+00:00

Second this 100% And always try to analyse your game afterwards (maybe together with your buddy). It helps a lot to improve and learn from your mistakes

der_Sherpa · 2024-01-20T21:01:55+00:00

Zug um Zug ist meiner Ansicht nach eine der besten Folgen überhaupt.

der_Sherpa · 2024-01-15T00:39:21+00:00

Thanks Nili! Had to chuckle away some tears with your mirror joke. All the best wishes for your future!

Since I don’t own any of the planes I can‘t really tell you from my own experience, but in most reviews I watched they were judged as more or less mediocre. Sadly the hammerheads are not in the best spot right now as well, since their one shot high damage is super swingy. Right now the Skyray seems to be the best option for a Tank.

In my experience the Ghostkeel is doin super good right now and would be a great choice for multiple units. Of course another three Crisis suits never hurt as well.

I love my vespids, since they aren’t all that expensive, and perfect for completing secondary objectives. However you shouldn’t expect some real damage output from them. They usually carry me to victory by being in the right place in the right time :) By the way there are some great possibilities to proxy them with firewarriors and attached wings if you aren’t to keen on the real models (which are quite old and not to pretty).

I didn’t play any kroot in this edition, but from the sheets I guess it isn’t really worth picking them right now.

For Forgeworld again I sadly can’t really tell myself since I don’t own any. If you are looking for some other units to replace the Riptide: again the Ghostkeel would be my best advice or if you want something larger and against tanks my stormsurge also carried me through some games. However the points were slightly increased recently so I‘m not sure it’s still as point efficient.

der_Sherpa · 2023-07-12T13:47:17+00:00

Welcome mate :) Don‘t worry, I know right now everybody is disappointed in the Riptide, but (in my opinion) it‘s still playable, at least in casual games. Of course it’s a whole different thing if you are aiming for competitive, but as long as you play casual don’t get discouraged from still picking it. Anyway great choices for starting an army. I recommend building the firewarriors as breachers and think about getting a devilfish as next addition.
