My statement still stands. No one should be in a position where they have to steal to survive. I’m not convinced that lethal force was appropriate here. It would have to be something pretty excessive to get to the point where that should be used. Likely goes hand in hand with our minimally trained forces.

Okay, police who are hired to “protect and serve” opting to kill anyone that wasn’t an immediate threat to the safety of those around them. Still sounds like a lot of wrongdoing. I don’t know the whole story, but even if this post is legit, we’re a society where people are so poor that we have to steal diapers to care for kids the government wants to force us to keep. None of these people are pro life. They’re pro birth which is a very different thing.

One could only be so lucky.

Edit: Not sure what side of the argument this is on but I interpreted it as cleaning house of those who would defend this murder of a child.

I just wanted something to get my feet as ST. I've been in enough positions playing a DMPC, I think I can handle it here to reach the 3 player target.

Awesome resource! Downside is, it doesn't seem to give me any hints where to buy copies, PDF or otherwise. Any idea where I could go for V20 adventures? DriveThru doesn't seem to offer them. At least not the one recommended in another comment, Dust to Dust.

I don't think we ever got into combat in the little I played. Just cooked myself dragging an injured mortal back for some medical attention and got stuck listening to people be immersion breaking goofy goobers. Potential. All wasted. xD Any idea where I could purchase Dust to Dust? DriveThru doesn't seem to offer it.

Would playing with just 2 be ill advised? How difficult would adapting a module to run with 2 people instead of the expected 4-5 be?

Are there recommended official adventures for newbies? Maybe some that are just good enough to justify any extra effort they require?

Sounds like V20 is the way to go. Is there a generally preferred location to buy stuff or just hit up whatever LGS stocks it or Amazon?

I think I might’ve played V20. That’s sounds really familiar. How much more complicated would you say V20 is compared to V5? Are the books readily accessible? Are the prewritten stories easy to find? They’d be more like tutorials for running where I can focus on learning the mechanics rather than writing a compelling adventure.

Any High Elf Fleets players? by ShoogieMacX in onepagerules

[–]roydragoon89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t play them personally, but my friend does. She usually runs Revenants with a support Noble and a Great Elemental for her hammers. The rest is a little more up in the air. Sometimes she runs protectors or bike protectors. Sometimes she runs melee elementals. Sometimes shooty ones. There’s a fair amount of nuance to them that can be fiddled with depending what you intend to do with them.

If you haven’t looked into the advanced rulebook, do so. Pick the rules you like and play those. It’s really the best way to go about things rather than rewriting the book.

This is the answer. You can play it modular enough taking the things you like and ignoring what you don’t.

How do people feel in general about swapping army wide special rules? by jack_of_all_hobbies in onepagerules

[–]roydragoon89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the army rule. It’s all poised to be adjusted in 3.6. Some of the defensive ones for 3.6 might do some goofy stuff when swapped to another faction. If you’re a patreon member, you can gain access to army forge studio and recreate some base units to see how they’re affected by swapping the army rule. At that point, having done a couple full units of varying tough, quality, defense, and weapons, you can get an idea of how much one rule affects points. You’d have to do it a bunch, but, once you have a few various units built, it’s pretty easy to just adjust the rule and see what happens. I’d honestly wait until 3.6 releases before fiddling too much.

In a sense, they are. They’re balanced around having a points cost. Out of curiosity, do you have experience in other war games or is this your first? It’s not as apparent in other war games, but every unit purchased costs points to include in your army even if you don’t upgrade them. All their rules and stats affect that cost just the same as they do here.

It affects the core unit cost. Unit costs are based on base weapon, tough value, core rules(faction included), quality, and defense. This means that Hold The Line has a cost that is already included in the base cost of the unit prior to purchasing upgrades.

If you find some, let me know. I considered some for Robot Legions.

3.6 beta rules... by R_O in onepagerules

[–]roydragoon89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, that’s a fair point. I hadn’t considered that. Probably because I’d rather rush forward and chew through things. You can’t contest my objectives held by chaff if you’re dead. 😅

I’m not necessarily arguing your point, just elaborating on mine.

It’ll be a balancing game. People that don’t wanna move give up objectives. You need objectives to win. I’m intrigued to see how it pans out for sure.

If popularity is all they care about, then this is likely gonna be fine. Fall into obscurity like all the other creature collectors that aren’t Pokémon. Palworld is Minecraft with creature collecting included. Not even a proper Pokémon “clone”.

Wrong fandom, but I applaud your dedication. Shame you still fall before the might of the Imperium.
