The Gaming Den

This is not true. Again, this is something we addressed for our heartbreaker and we used in a campaign. But you accomplished this by tacking on an entirely different game. You can call it a "homebrew" if you want, but when your homebrew reaches the point that it apparently requires a sepa...

And while we're calling each other stupid... Units in the sense of "a unit is 10 troops" or "a unit is 100 troops" or something can't work. However many units you think the sweet spot of the game is, you will be confronted with scenarios in RPGs where the number of soldiers is or...

Your argument here is that because you, personally, are too stupid to come up with a solution, it must be impossible and we should all give up. Really, when stated outright rather than merely implied, it pretty much defeats itself. No. My argument is that you, personally, are too stupid to see that...

So. What. The rules can have it be fast enough for the anti-wargamer to take a piss (weird Venn diagram intersection, that guy), and that's not against anyone's sensibilities. The "so what" is that fast rules are exactly the opposite of what people here seem to be aiming for. Whatever you...

It's a lot harder to deal with inflation as it occurs during the game, as when somebody kills an orc tribe and decides to try and sell their entire worldly wealth in town...That's a difficult market dynamic to capture on paper. But a feudal setting offers you a way out, because for a great many feu...

What should have been straightforward nostalgia sales is quickly turning into a hot fucking mess, and I've seen no explanation of why. The question answers itself. And I know you know that, because -- This is a nostalgia boner release for 'New GW' to continue testing out the big boy model of exploi...

...you need an in-game reason why your party isn't just forking over enough money for a pile of henchmen when they go on their quest. Zinegata already told you the in-game reason: because that game will invariably take place in a setting where, for complex socio-economic reasons*, armies and advent...

The question is "what impact does it have that players have secured the allegiance of the fire giants," and the answer of "a fire giant unit shows up in a game of Warhammer Fantasy" has been considered and rejected. The impact is: the PCs get a fire giant bodyguard. Or: they rec...

PS: I love that the justification given for this hopeless exercise is "I want to simulate the Battle of Five Armies". So far as the protagonists/PCs were concerned, the Battle of Five Armies was either a series of individual heroic duels -- like Thorin's and Beorn's against the goblin gene...

As so often happens on this forum, I'm not even sure I understand the question. It sounds like folks are asking "how can we make wargaming and roleplay the same thing"? And then rejecting every solution the industry has come up with -- D&D 's "Heroes of Battle", Deathwatch 's...

So Trollman and Zinegata actually do think the Catalonia kerfuffle constitutes rebellion, Ancient History no doubt meant well but happened to be flat-out wrong, and Stahlseele's just a jerk on my Block list. (For which, mea culpa ; somebody whose avatar is Comedian from Watchmen obviously isn't some...

Point 1: If somebody's bound and determined to believe I'm a sock-puppet, or a sentient singing cream-puff, or a dog on the Internet or whatever, they're obviously never going to accept any evidence I'm not...but that doesn't actually answer the question. Stahlseele , do you believe that Spain is cu...

pay attention to meeeeeee Fine, I'll fix it for you -- Hang on. Have I got this correct: Zinegata and Trollman and let's not forget Stahlseele believe that Spain is currently, today, in a literal state of civil war? As per "Guernica", "The Falling Soldier", friggin'..."Pan'...

Hang on. Have I got this correct:

Zinegata and Trollman believe that Spain is currently, today, in a literal state of civil war? As per "Guernica", "The Falling Soldier", friggin'..."Pan's Labyrinth", etc., etc.?

Hiding onboard is Burak, a 900-year old Ottoman Turk (which is kind of weird, because Osman I didn't found the Ottoman state until c. 1299, which should top his age at ~700 in 2003, but let's let that slide) and Assamite fuck-up. I'm probably being too kind to White Wolf here, and apologies for the...
