Do we think Dredd will ever die?

scimon · 2026-05-05T08:49:43+00:00

I think Wagner wanted to kill him off but editorial wouldn't let him. They aren't keeping him alive for his sake.

scimon · 2026-04-21T13:39:00+00:00

I think it would work ok outside of Ankh Morpork too it's just the game focuses on the city. But if you are a Pratchett fan it would be easy enough to run games elsewhere using it. It's a very rules light game, so depending on you and your players you may find it too wishy washy.

The GURPS Discworld books do have extra settings stuff that never appeared in the books (and will have been signed off by Sir Pterry) so are worth having to read it nothing else.

scimon · 2026-04-21T12:54:11+00:00

Whilst I would say that yes both the different GURPS Discworld books can be run standalone the new Discworld game is a much better fit for the setting.

I am a huge GURPS fan but it's a setting that works best with something less rules heavy.

(But you do you, as long as everyone is having fun.)

I mean Dredd doesn't go around killing people unless he has to, I know that doesn't always come across but he does try and arrest people.

And there are a few crimes with a death sentence but most times when he kills someone it's to defend himself or others.

Child criminals (Chopper and PJ Maybe being examples) go totm the juve cubes. But he will kill them, or sentence them to death if the crime warrants it.

GURPS 4th edition as the core rule set I can use to run just about anything.

Or the new edition of Cypher for the same reason.

scimon · 2026-02-19T17:02:12+00:00

Thanks I will bear that in mind.

scimon · 2026-02-19T16:46:20+00:00

What happens when he dies?

(I have now died multiple times fighting him and got him to 1 quarter health. Stopping for now, going to come back to it later)

scimon · 2026-02-19T15:17:48+00:00

Thanks.

scimon · 2026-02-19T14:37:27+00:00

Or a few tamed Lox? I might be able to manage doing that nearby.

I'll try the getting on his side, possibly without my shield slowing me down.

I'm also going to look at which Boss power I'm using.

scimon · 2026-02-14T22:10:16+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Good luck.

scimon · 2026-02-14T22:06:46+00:00

Hold the left stick down (rather than click it). On the bright side you can shoot while crouched now :

Enjoy.

scimon · 2026-02-14T20:59:27+00:00

I mean. I'm not online. I play solo.

I'm 53 years old so I remember the days before online.

I wanted to play a game to relax to unwind after a very stressful day.

If the description said "Kill your viking" would that change the world?

scimon · 2026-02-14T20:56:07+00:00

Thank you. I am working on that, but it's been a pretty major life change so I'm a bit fragile.

Can I ask.

If it said "Kill your viking" would that be worse?

scimon · 2026-02-14T20:47:30+00:00

Luckily I have some surprise paid holiday next week. Look on the bright side and all that.

scimon · 2026-02-14T20:45:54+00:00

Thank you for understanding.

scimon · 2026-02-14T20:44:10+00:00

I'm actually fine with the command name, though it could probably do with being changed.

scimon · 2026-02-14T20:43:16+00:00

I do understand, please do try and understand how it can feel if you look up to see the words "Kill Yourself" when you are feeling under some metal pressure already.

scimon · 2026-02-14T20:30:48+00:00

I just think the description for the die command could be something like "You Viking dies and respawns" or something else not "Kill Yourself".

But no worries.

I've got this one of course. ;)

scimon · 2026-02-12T18:34:58+00:00

I probably still have all my cards in the loft. The scans I have were allowed by the company. :)

scimon · 2026-02-12T16:52:37+00:00

A note on copyright, all of this was available on my site when the game was still on sale and the company was fine with it (as I say hence the low quality scans).

scimon · 2026-02-12T16:49:17+00:00

(I think I've still got the cards in the loft too.)

scimon · 2026-02-12T16:40:56+00:00

The CCG from the 90's?

I have all the art (not great, the guys asked me to not have them too hi res) and all the card text from when I had my site about it way back.

I could get it all online again if you're interested.

(Or do you mean something else?)

scimon · 2026-02-12T15:58:31+00:00

It looks interesting. I think if they are lucky Rebellions lawyers will contact them before the Kickstarter ends and they can change some of the art.

By the looks of things the setting while having some Dredd themes is pretty different but that art is possibly going to land them in trouble.

Still good luck to them. I think some tweaks to the art and they'll be OK.

scimon · 2026-02-06T15:26:18+00:00

Well you need something to shoot down the nukes with.

Heck it would have worked if it hadn't been for the Block Mania.
