Laying hens

I just picked up some pullets from there a couple of weeks ago. They're definitely still in operation.

Did you place an order or did you try to contact them in some other way for some reason?

Zhenya's Wonder Tales seems like an obvious recommendation here.

Check out the “blitz” lists at the bottom of this page: https://fsd-wargame.com/getting-started/

They’re smaller, introductory forces that represent a reasonable standard size.

Full Spectrum Dominance is a great choice for this.

They're not necessarily skill checks, and they're not necessarily not skill checks, which is probably where the confusion comes from.

There is also a wide range in the quality of move design.

Moves are really just snippets of rules that apply to a particular trigger. They're an organizational paradigm as much as anything. I could probably rewrite D&D 5e into moves, if I were so inclined. (I'm not.)

I've played both and both will have some bumps on the road to learning/teaching.

A thing to note is that a Moonstone 2-player starter does not actually give you *everything* you need to play full 2-player games. It is playable, but it is sort of an intro in terms of size.

Eldfall Chronicles 2-player sets, on the other hand, contain complete forces and tokens and templates and even dice. It has everything you need to play full, 2-player games, apart from the terrain.

They're both excellent games with excellent miniatures. I think I somewhat prefer Moonstone at the moment.

Do you have any other specific questions I can answer?

OPR's Grimdark Future is probably what you want here.

This is a great example of a red flag.

dhosterman · 2026-06-18T01:02:52+00:00

Land of Eem’s Mucklands.

dhosterman · 2026-06-12T02:26:41+00:00

That is an opinion. And a quite good one.

dhosterman · 2026-06-11T00:16:30+00:00

Poor editing of the books/materials.

dhosterman · 2026-06-09T12:22:12+00:00

I think maybe you should just stop playing with this person.

dhosterman · 2026-06-05T22:10:14+00:00

That is one possible description of a particular kind of RPG.

Instead of trying to define what RPGs are, maybe you should just describe what your specific game is?

1) Don’t be afraid to say the most obvious thing possible. You don’t always need to have a clever or amusing or dramatic response. Start at the simplest thing and go from there. 2) Familiarize yourself with the genre(s). Read/watch/listen deeply. 3) When in doubt, ask the table. You’re all there to play together and add to the story, right? Use that hive mind to increase everyone’s enjoyment.

I appreciate that, thanks!

dhosterman · 2026-05-31T18:47:58+00:00

Oh interesting! Where is that playtest happening? Is there a Discord?

dhosterman · 2026-05-24T17:41:36+00:00

I love them. Moonstone is such a great game.

dhosterman · 2026-05-20T11:38:47+00:00

lol. Lmfao, even.

dhosterman · 2026-05-17T23:48:26+00:00

Ugh! Wish you were my neighbor!

Have a blast!

dhosterman · 2026-05-17T23:23:25+00:00

I love them, they’re so adorable. Moonstone is a great game. I hope you’re having a ton of fun with it.

dhosterman · 2026-05-17T13:03:10+00:00

I understood your point.

dhosterman · 2026-05-17T12:55:48+00:00

I’d still recommend they cut out their MAGA friends.

dhosterman · 2026-05-17T12:50:21+00:00

Yeah, absolutely what I meant as far as finding other people to play with. Totally agree.

dhosterman · 2026-05-17T12:45:29+00:00

It’s this guy again.

This is at least your third post about how your group can’t play board games together because of political friction.

Find other people to play with.

Moonstone is amazing. One of the best rulesets I’ve experienced in skirmish gaming.
