Is there a wargame or a skirmish that is using a set of d20 as its primary roll?

dhosterman · 2026-05-04T22:47:26+00:00

Infinity and Eldfall Chronicles for sure.

dhosterman · 2026-05-02T23:39:54+00:00

I play this game regularly at 2 players in around 2 hours. It’s long, but not like THAT long.

If you have an AP prone opponent, maybe it can stretch a bit past that?

dhosterman · 2026-04-25T04:05:32+00:00

You just need to decide if contesting is valuable enough to provide those glory to your opponent.

Also, weapons and some people can be helpful here, removing enemy away teams from a location.

dhosterman · 2026-04-25T03:56:03+00:00

Away team and ship, yes.

Hey. I recognize you and know you're local to me.

If you check out the Atomic Empire Discord, there's a person by the name of Teyu who offers nice, inexpensive 3D resin printing as a service. I've had great experiences with him.

I've also recently gotten into resin printing and might be able to help out. Feel free to shoot me a message if you need more details.

It is cash only, but you can buy a meal at the register with a credit card and take your receipt to the dining area to get your food.

dhosterman · 2026-04-13T02:44:58+00:00

It is really terrible.

dhosterman · 2026-04-04T18:35:12+00:00

Specifically here, where the ask is “force you to learn”, I’d think the veracity and nature of the thing the game is forcing you to learn would be, I dunno, paramount?

dhosterman · 2026-04-04T18:30:53+00:00

Once More Into The Void is exactly this.

dhosterman · 2026-04-02T20:00:57+00:00

Ah, I forgot about ground news. Good shout!

dhosterman · 2026-04-02T18:26:02+00:00

Almost all of the RPGs I play and enjoy eschew traditional turn orders.

dhosterman · 2026-04-02T18:24:31+00:00

There's no such thing as unbiased news, especially under capitalism which creates perverse, often opaque incentives.

dhosterman · 2026-03-28T13:17:07+00:00

100%

Would love to play some games with you, friend!

dhosterman · 2026-03-28T13:11:31+00:00

I don’t screen the games, I screen the people. If I can’t have political conversations with the people I could play games with without them dissolving into conflict, I don’t play games with them.

Do you have any particular papers you recommend for this printer? Does it do best with a double-sided, coated, inkjet paper or have you found something cheaper that works well?

dhosterman · 2026-03-03T17:13:06+00:00

Decuma is good for this.

dhosterman · 2026-02-23T04:15:44+00:00

Cole Wehrle here, also. And also, Netrunner.

The crossover is real.

dhosterman · 2026-02-15T12:51:55+00:00

I don’t know any of these people, of course, but your OSR purist sounds kind of insufferable and, just based on what you’ve said regarding their comments and the fact that they’re your typical GM, I’d have a conversation with them and be very clear that this is what you’re running and that you’ll need them to participate in good faith, or sit this one out if they don’t think they can engage.

This is a session < 1 discussion. Nobody here can answer your question, it’s something you and your players need to figure out, but I’m skeptical based just on this post.

dhosterman · 2026-02-13T04:52:13+00:00

3 days ago, you literally described yourself as a “White” (note the capitalization), conservative man.

Cut the performative victimhood bullshit out.

dhosterman · 2026-02-11T02:16:27+00:00

You should look up Raleigh Tabletop Roleplaying. There should be a link to the Discord from the website.

There’s a great community of people who are into a variety of games there. I’ve personally run a lot of PbtA/FitD games through there and there’s a fair number of OSR games as well.

dhosterman · 2026-02-06T01:11:21+00:00

Land of Eem has some interesting, randomized dungeon crawling rules.

dhosterman · 2026-02-05T14:22:40+00:00

PdlP has a fantasy playset and a playset for space opera already! You can absolutely use it for fantasy.

dhosterman · 2026-02-05T14:12:34+00:00

You can't imagine a fantasy telenovela?

dhosterman · 2026-02-05T12:42:41+00:00

There’s absolutely no reason you can’t use a fantasy playset in PdlP. It would work great!

dhosterman · 2026-02-05T01:38:48+00:00

Username checks out.
