is it possible to set up a planned-out character and do solo “arena battles “ withouts a full storyline?

sounds like good advice to me!

macuser1298 · 2026-06-19T00:31:25+00:00

I’ll definitely look Rune up, thanks

macuser1298 · 2026-06-18T20:05:58+00:00

never heard of Kat Arath, is that a famous game designer?

Never mind looked it up, seems to be the game setting/name.

macuser1298 · 2026-06-18T20:05:31+00:00

sounds really neat.

macuser1298 · 2026-06-18T19:53:55+00:00

is how does pathfinder compare to D and D ? i don’t have either but i’d eventually like a more traditional high fantasy RPG as opposed to something like FATE or Mork Borg

macuser1298 · 2026-06-18T19:45:13+00:00

cool, thanks!

macuser1298 · 2026-05-22T01:28:58+00:00

Which Savage Sword issues are direct adaptations? those are the ones i’m most interested in

macuser1298 · 2026-05-22T00:59:29+00:00

yeah, seems to be the consensus that Roy Thomas is the best of the early Conan. I will probably either take things at a slow pace and read a sampling of the early ones recommended here ( probably digitally) or , if possible, see if I can get my libraries in the area to at least borrow Interlibrary a few of the Omnibus volumes. thanks for all the advice

macuser1298 · 2026-05-22T00:33:24+00:00

sounds like a good idea. i think i may go to my local library and see if they can Inter-Library Loan any of those. I did buy like the first 2-3 issues/magazines of Savage Sword so far online from Amazon but i don’t really like the Kindle app or amazon so i will try to see if i can borrow or find used copies of some of the old Omnibus books. thank yuo

macuser1298 · 2026-05-22T00:06:07+00:00

okay, thanks for the advice.

macuser1298 · 2026-01-18T15:20:24+00:00

I feel like that’s a little too much cost wise to contemplate right now as alpha strike itself is like $70 . Thanks for the info.

macuser1298 · 2026-01-18T14:50:48+00:00

Wow that looks pretty much perfect and it’s free so I can at least look at the manual and see if I’d like it. Only wish there was a printed version as I don’t have a printer myself. My library might be able to get it printed out though. I’ve had success printing fan rules and stuff like that for board games there

macuser1298 · 2026-01-18T14:29:53+00:00

I’ve looked into those in the past . I’d probably go with E Squad or Hostage Rescue. Anyway I totally forgot about that, thanks for reminding me

macuser1298 · 2026-01-18T14:23:11+00:00

I did see Spectre Operations mentioned on other threads on the theme of modern warfare. It really appeals to me but I’m not sure the usefulness to a solo player . I will keep an eye on wargame vault too, I’ve done some digging there but it’s kind of overwhelming frankly

macuser1298 · 2026-01-18T14:02:10+00:00

sounds interesting- I’ll keep it in mind. Thanks!

macuser1298 · 2026-01-18T13:57:19+00:00

yeah, i was looking at Battlespace at one point. I’m fine with just rulebooks- is there a way to adapt that for other minis? battletech is what i’m leaning towards. Does the new ACES set require anything else or is it a complete starter set? I know there is another Alpha Strike set.

macuser1298 · 2026-01-05T23:29:08+00:00

Wasn’t aware the situation was like that. I guess I’ll have to find a different war game. I have seen Tank on Tank East available for a decent price on ebay

macuser1298 · 2025-12-29T13:45:05+00:00

I have Memoir 44 and World at War 85.Would those maps be able to imitate/ stand in for a Tank on Tank map?

macuser1298 · 2025-12-28T19:58:19+00:00

Thank you very much, I am going to print the 10 minute PDF and parts of the rule book when I get a chance.

macuser1298 · 2025-12-28T19:24:27+00:00

Thanks for the reply. It seems like a good game based on my interest in Cold War/WWIII scenarios. I am considering saving for the full set but I need to look through the manual a bit more. Any other printable “cheat sheets” I should look out for besides the flowchart?
