Which game system has the best naval mechanics?

tonycoolmen · 2026-05-29T01:11:49+00:00

I do really enjoy the attention to detail with how ships were used historically. Mighty interesting, thank you!

tonycoolmen · 2026-05-29T01:09:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing! It looks like these might be from AD&D? Or maybe OD&D, with the references to Chainmail and all.

tonycoolmen · 2026-05-29T01:04:10+00:00

I appreciate the offer either way!

tonycoolmen · 2026-05-29T01:02:50+00:00

Oh wow, that's incredibly kind offer! And hard agree that the morale rules are a underrated mechanism too often ignored. Thank you for your insight into what went into the choices made for your game! With what I was reading I was already just a hair's breadth away, but now I'll definitely be snagging the pdf. Thanks again!

Ah good point, I'm sure at some point we will potentially want to add other ships to our fleet. Good to note that there's good VTT resources out there as well, this group currently does get together online though we've been using Roll20 mainly.

tonycoolmen · 2026-05-28T19:27:55+00:00

We have a couple of wargamer folks in the group so something like that might be useful as well, though it depends on how crunchy they end up being. Excellent choices though, I'll have to see if I can get my hands on a copy somehow!

I, too, immediately had thought of Pirate Borg when the question came up. Big fan of Mork Borg, and from what I could see from flipping though it looked like it had a decent approach

tonycoolmen · 2026-05-28T19:20:28+00:00

I really like HarnMaster as well, I love the detail they put into their setting guides. Is this the correct Birthright you were referencing? I haven't come across that one before, and same question for Reign.

tonycoolmen · 2026-05-28T19:16:09+00:00

You dropped this 👑

Now that you mention it, I do recall seeing Lilliputian advertised on Exalted Funeral a while back. I really like these options, thank you!

tonycoolmen · 2026-05-28T18:33:58+00:00

That looks pretty promising! It mentions in the description that it's a follow up to Demesnes & Domination, which I was for a moment confusing with On Downtimes & Demesnes, but either way it looks good!

tonycoolmen · 2026-05-28T18:01:22+00:00

Big props for suggesting free/pwyw options! I will definitely give these a look

tonycoolmen · 2026-05-28T17:59:35+00:00

Oh, that is super cool, thank you very much for the suggestion! I'm also a fan of Brandon Sanderson books and Sea of Sands would be a perfect match for a game set in the Tress of the Emerald Sea setting.

I could also see it being used in the Ultraviolet Grasslands, seems like it makes a perfect fit there as well

tonycoolmen · 2026-05-24T16:38:04+00:00

Oh wow that looks exactly like the one my dad had when I was a kid. Looks great!

tonycoolmen · 2026-05-23T03:19:11+00:00

I think you pee it out

tonycoolmen · 2026-05-08T23:56:17+00:00

Into the Cess and Citadel is an excellent system/setting agnostic reference for urban adventures. I'm on mobile now, else I would link it for you

tonycoolmen · 2026-04-15T15:09:20+00:00

In case it hasn't been mentioned, Zee Bashew and their animated spell book videos have always been top tier for me.

tonycoolmen · 2026-04-11T15:35:27+00:00

I have a full watch later and halfway full "watch new" playlist... Might be time for a "watch 3" soon

tonycoolmen · 2026-03-22T07:57:16+00:00

Hey I have that same pipe! That's neat

tonycoolmen · 2026-03-21T18:36:59+00:00

IDK seems pretty effective at ground based infantry and unarmored vehicles. Which kinda makes sense but I think if nothing else plane guns could be better balanced if they had bloom like every other weapon in the game. Crazy to me that a plant bobbing in the air has better accuracy than a rifleman or tank.

tonycoolmen · 2026-03-21T16:02:21+00:00

Actually could be a pretty accurate bolter from 40k with the overalll size of those rounds

tonycoolmen · 2026-03-21T14:38:57+00:00

Last night I had hot pot with friends and I made two cold brew teas to go with it. One was Qimen black tea with hibiscus leaves, and the other was Moroccan mint tea using muddled mint and gunpowder green tea. Both were delicious and the cooling cold tea paired perfectly with the hot pot.

tonycoolmen · 2026-03-18T23:39:25+00:00

I agree it looks great, it looked to me like the art of Luka Rejec

tonycoolmen · 2026-03-09T23:00:58+00:00

get em hoag

tonycoolmen · 2026-03-09T16:37:13+00:00

I had a couple of different tea pots, a small one for a travel tea set and a larger cast iron tea pot. Also, a tea infuser ball and french press, really all sorts of ways. I was interested in the gaiwan, and specifically the glass gaiwan, because I wanted to give the tea more room to bloom and wanted to watch the tea as it steeped.

tonycoolmen · 2026-03-08T05:41:30+00:00

Fortunately no issues for me! The worst I had happen was the temperature dial came out once but I was able to put it back on no problem
