What sort of RPGs have you played that put any mechanical emphasis on commanding a squad, warband, or army, /tg/? Was it good, was it bad, did you have any stand-out experiences that you feel like sharing?
>>97762764>>97763793I haven't played Battle system, but I found the rulebook at a used bookstore and read it cove to cover. My conclusion was that it sounded so dogshit I would never bother trying it
Of rpgs with mass combat.I've tried Legend of the Five Rings, Qin: The Warring States, ACKS: DOW, and Traveller: Fifth Frontier War (1981 version, though I've heard goodish things about the new one).Of these I think Qin and L5R had the most interesting integrations between character and army fighting. Qin's mass combat is designed to evoke the feeling of strategists and generals crowded around a map or sand model moving tokens representing divisions or corps but it has options for heroes to get stuck in and depending where they are in the battle pretty much everyone gets to do cool wuxia shit, even the fangshi. L5R ties its honour and reputation system into how bravely characters fight in mass combat and samurai duels are encouraged. I will say that I actually like ACKs thing about only being able to directly command a certain number of people - so you actually have a chain of command (that theoretically could be disrupted, confused or co-opted). I think tying that into Qin's mass combat abstraction would actually be very interesting.For squad level command IIRC Only War assumes the players are a squad with a bunch of disposable troopers (who take bullets for them) in their unit and there's some implications in Twilight 2.2 that you can have a squad of NPCs fighting along side you.
>>97759040Really wish there was a good dedicated family of systems that allowed you to transition between scales fully. Yah old dnd HAD it, but you never actually see people using it practically, only hearsay.I guess the closes is Warhammer fantasy, Mordheim, and WFRPG. But even that isnt so much intentional but circumstantial. In fact, old world might tie more directly with mordheim and the wargames due to its stat blocks also having 3 as the base number.>>97759563>>97764429I occassionally hear people talking about the possibility in these systems in abstract, but I have heard almost no first hand experience with it from players. either here, youtube, or in person.
>>97791260WotC used the Chainmail name for a game in 2001 with simplified stats designed for warband play, but it didn't last particularly long. They recycled the concept for D&D Miniatures, which included 3.5e conversions for all DDM statblocks, and also got a 4e update.
>>97791260To be fair, there are a few but it's not the biggest draw. I think that we are getting Elves vs Dwarves kickstarter war the "before all others" book is finished which should be this summer maybe fall. Which will be a great way to show everyone how to play it. Though to be fair, playing it yourself is the best way to learn.

>>97784355I sure love taking out of context photos and then lying about them on the internet for attention
I'm digitizing my handwritten notes for a custom D&D campaign and developed this Arcane System as a universal magic anatomy. I'd like /tg/'s honest feedback on the concept before I finish the OTD.

I hear occasionally in ttrpg circles "roll to confirm crit". Now what does this mean? Do you have to roll a second 20 to be able to crit?
>>97797191waowwwwwbasedbasedbased
>>97797208Lol I'm a lot of things but a liar I am not
>>97797222not sure how thats relevant
>>97797226He called me a pedo and I corrected him
>>97797235that was me and I called you based. What part of that implies i called you a liar?
This is the second year in a row I've seen stuff for this game at Adepticon, but I still have no idea what it is or what it's about or where to buy it. I'm a slut for big ship games, so I'm interested, but is this a steampunk RPG, a wargame, or something else? There's even a 30 foot LCD screen with an ad for this up on the Board Center. What the fuck even is this thing and why doesn't it exist anywhere? What the hell is Leviathans?
>>97767057This game looks so fucking good.
>>97789226
>>97782577Only ship game I know is BFG, any similarity?

I want to build a 5c deck that's somewhat interesting and not a battlecruisery pile of goodstuff, considering Chromat, Reaper King, Kyodai Soul of Kamigawa, and Tazri Stalwart Survivor. Anyone have any interesting 5c brews?
>>97800461why does it have to be 5c? why do you need ALL the colors? you can have a 5c commander but have all naya cards you know

Does your setting have any interesting currencies or economic systems?
>>97793401To be clear, you're completely ignoring the concepts of savings accounts and asset valuations as subjects of your money supply? There's rather important reasons why the store of value and medium of exchange overlap so heavily in economies throughout history!
>>97794329>you're completely ignoring the concepts of savings accounts and asset valuations as subjects of your money supply?Correct. Real resources are scarce due to it being a generally low tech setting, relatively speaking. There's also no centralized government, instead being made up of several tribal city states.
>>97762177Diabolical. Sounds awesome Anon.
>>97794996>Real resources are scarce due to it being a generally low tech setting, relatively speaking.That did not stop such from being functions of outright Bronze Age economics. Currency debasement, which pales in comparison to fucking expiry dates, was in fact a rather significant problem. See also Sparta's attempt to use intentionally shitty iron rods as a currency going terribly.You need a good explanation why it is people respect a medium of exchange that is in no meaningful way a store of value in a primitive economic system as this entails, especially at the interface of markets with no overarching authority to enforce deals.
>>97793401Money and trade isn't a thing as much as wealth isn't a thing.It's all spooks all the way down.Doesn't stop it from being as real as anything else in a make believe economic system. So let's not be retardedly reductive, as if you go down that road you end up without a leg to stand on.

You guys are not allowed to talk about LOTM starting April 1st. April is reserved for great OC drops.
>>97796078Pretty sure in the addendums it says you can only pick elf twice so the maximum number of companions you can get through elves is four, two elves and two other non-elf companions, infinite dragons doe is still viable cause they missed that you can do that, and feasibly you can just get all the companions through the infinite dragons and also get a couple elves, or i guess get the infinite dragons by going through the elves to get the first one or two i guessOh also if you want a harem of elves id suggest getting two elves and having them breed with each other till they make a sizeable population and then pick and choose from that, also theres nothing stopping you from breeding the elves with other kinds of companions to make like centaurs or harpies or whatever else, pretty sure anyways
>>97797099>but it's objectively great.It's objectively terrible because it becomes completely useless in the end.
Hey, do any of you have any experience running and playing Barbarians of the Aftermath? All the play logs I find elsewhere are 'mandatory niceness' communities or only lasted like 3 sessions, making the data kinda useless. Pic unrelated.
>>97786530>'mandatory niceness' communitiesThe what now?
>>97789427It's amazing how much of /tg/ discourse is just pretending to not understand what you're talking about, thereby making discourse impossible.
>>97789443No I'm serious, who are you talking about.Also, so I'm actually contributing something; substack is my go to for play reports, but I can't see anything on there for this particular game.
>>97789478Dude, as a third party observer, if you don't understand what he means by "Mandatory niceness" then you must have recently emerged from a coma.Or is this the part where you pretend you didn't notice every entertainment industry being ruined by highly political idiots?

"Okay, I have a game of DnD to DM for you guys. But don't bother with the character creation part of the rulebook. Here's the races you can play as, including the traits you can get for them. Here's the classes, but again, don't bother with the rulebook, I have these printouts for class progression. If you pick a magic-using class, here's some sheets for the spells you're eligible for--just hold on to those, a lot of spells are going to be different from the rulebook. What? No, we're just playing DnD, I just made some small changes for the setting."
>>97768331oh, thank you for your hard work gm, but don't bother. i've actually taken some time to write my own class, race and spells i want to play with, i'll just go with that instead
>>97770417I actually quite like the concept, but the problem is that they ignored the interesting part to talk about gender shit instead
You're playing the person playing the character, so skill lists is a secondary aspect. It's not made to be used as a stand alone universal system.
>>97785792Yeah, I found the discussion of Wargaming and the fantasy genre interesting, but I really didn't like any of the characters

Send the bitch with the speeder right now, or I'll fly back to Alderaan and give your wife something to hang her towels on!"
>>97800049If anything, shouldn't he be on the Imperial side since it's the Empire which is doomed to fall whereas the Rebellion really isn't? Plus Blackadder's sardonic british style is far more Imperial than the Rebels which tend to be American and hopeful go-gettersOn the other hand, a Blackadder-type Rebel alongside his corresponding Baldrick, George, Darling and Melchett would be really interesting
>>97800284Honestly, it should be set in the Clone Wars then.
>>97800049To keep it more Star Wars, i would have gone with "Borsk Fey'lya's driver is used to hanging around big nobs"
