You're getting pretty harsh responses and desu I felt like giving you one too.

The squealing yearning for low-effort instant gratification is pretty sad. Your nephew should be excited to dig into the rules and lore and to learn how to do miniature modeling. He should have been curled up on a couch reading the rulebook multiple times. Teach him some patience. And have some creativity yourself -- if you had really wanted to play an immediate demo game you could've use tokens, empty bases from the box, etc.

Your rage reminds me of a washed-up divorce dad sloptuber (Guerilla Miniatures) who is constantly yammering about games "passing the Christmas morning test" but that's the province of a denuded cuntsoomer bitch who goes through game systems like bags of Doritos, playing them once or twice and then abandoning them to the Shelv'ed Wastes of the basement.

I'm pretty sure the outflank rule was only introduced in the following edition, and at the time the WS player would have had to move his units on board through his own table edge, which he couldn't do since you can't move through enemy models and he had no jump infantry (which could move over the Kroot) or tanks (which could force the Kroot out of the way with a tank shock test).
As people have pointed out before, there would have been plenty of ways to prevent this scenario: just deploying one unit on the board would have been enough since you couldn't be infiltrating units within 12'' (if there's no LOS) or 18'' (if there is LOS) of enemy units. But since he was playing a WAAC list consisting nothing but fast bikes that arrive on board on the player's first turn to ensure the opponent can never shoot at them before they get to move and shoot, he had his whole army in reserves and lacked any way to get past a single unit think Kroot conga-line.

>>97244175
No, he would require Khan to do that and he'd come in off the sides. You couldn't just come in from reserves anywhere at the time, you had to arrive from your table edge unless you were outflanking (a specific, declared rule) or you were Snikrot, who could specifically come in on the enemy's edge. This is providing this is 5th, which I believe it is since the deployment type seems to be "Dawn of War" (deploy HQ and two troops, everything else in reserve) and null deployment on Dawn of War was very common. This deployment type added to the mechanization if 5th ed armies, but that's a different topic. It meant 1/3 of the time your static firepower had to walk onto the table, so they couldn't shoot at all and couldn't run since that wasn't a thing.
I want to point out that this is a full 4x6 table, so that's an asston of kroot even fully spread at 2" coherency.

>>97244573
As I vaguely understand it (and will be happy to be told otherwise by more experienced anons), units entering the battle need to start a certain distance away from the other enemy units currently on the battlefield for the sake of fairness so that you don't get a scenario where one guy watches their opponent set up their army and then just completely encircle them from all sides like an antlion pit. And while there are a few units that can get around that to a degree, bikes aren't one of them.

Shroud from Dispatch gave me the idea to have a villain who gives his villains cybernetic implants, especially ones that enhance their existing powers, in my supers setting. What supers system does such implants/augmentations best Abby why? Also, what kinds of implants make sense for different kinds of powers without just directly copying the characters in the game? For a speedster for example, I can see increasing their senses so they can better react to things at super-speed, for example, what do you think?

Bro, if you want speedsters put what amlunt to a mini-engine in their legs that propels them forward, only drawback is that they cannot drift or turn mid-speed. So it's like a rocket.

>C&C is everything 5 x and 3.x shouldve been.
The second half of that sentence is funny in that C&C was 3.0 lite with not a lot of 3.5 influence. D&D 3.x can't have been more C&C like because rule bloat was a TSR thing since the days of AD&D 1e through 2e. It survived due to continuity of development by people working at the bloatiest stage of 2e who already felt they were debloating D&D. If TSR had kept going 4e might never have happened like it did, due to the vidya aspect being inspired by corporate, but there's practically no chance there would have been a leaner rule set like C&C did to 3.x.

Rule bloat was a thing even in OD&D, with even Gygax lamenting how the game had become bloated beyond its original 3-booklet form, and Basic being devised as a way to slim it down.

>it's a decent if a light on world building
It is supposed to be a toolkit RPG that expects the ST to do the work of fleshing out the Web of Pain. Even then, the core rulebook alone details four cities, each with their own conspiracies that make up a segment of the Web of Pain.

Eric Zawadzki is currently writing Deep Dive, a supplement that fully fleshes out 40 conspiracies from Standing 1 to 10. It also has a full-on sample Web of Pain for STs who want something ready-to-go, spanning dozens of conspiracies.

Any details on the first one? Does it still interact with the instability system?

FRAMES AND CORES

Cores specifically are the main part of your mech. In universe, the core is both the ‘skeleton’ and operating system. The core determines HP, damage avoidance, weight limit, energy limit. The frame is a lot less important statistically, but it is what covers your mech so by name it’s important

Mechs are named after their core+frame and each of the three planets have their own naming conventions

Earth cores are named after liquors and frames are named after times

>Friday whiskey
>new years gin

Venus cores are named after iPod designations and frames are deific beings

this is more of me thinking out loud rather than presenting any finalized.

ALTITUDE LEVELS
>major height and elevation differences are measured in abstract levels
>1 level of difference is out of range of melee weapons and is treated as the same distance for ranged weapons
>as in shooting someone 5 spaces away is functionally the same whether they’re on the same level or a level higher
>shooting someone 2 levels higher is treated as a degree of long range
>weapons capable of 2 degrees of long range would only be able to fire at someone within 1 degree of long range and 2 levels of height difference
>being higher than your target should probably give you 1 extra level before you start getting accuracy/distance penalties versus being 1 level lower just for the tactics of it

>being in air is slippery
>im thinking that if you travel X amount of spaces from your starting point during your turn, you also have that amount of spaces in momentum speed
>momentum speed means that at the end of your turn, place a second marker on the board and that’s where you’ll start on your next turn
>along with traveling larger distances, the benefit of momentum speed is that your damage avoidability increases by 1 for each space of momentum speed you’ll be traveling on your next turn

What kind of stories is this thing for? Give us five media touchstones

>>97242623
It’s just a humble ttrpg with a sci-fi mecha base. I’m not trying to be too unique, just creating a system with the best balance of “satisfying mecha fantasy” and “not too crunchy” I can do. For specific stories, the mechanics don’t restrict anything as far as tones go. The 3 main planets have their own atmospheres though

Venus
>ruled by a single corporatocracy
>businesses and entities still frequently sabotage each other
>lends itself very well to the ‘band of mercs’ origin
>”there’s an AI mech we programmed as law enforcement but now it’s enforcing law on the politicians and CEOs that don’t like it, so go stop it”
>”some rival CEO kidnapped my daughter over the crabby party secret formula, go get her back”
>”I want to leave this soul crushing society but need money to do it”

Since the random passerby might be able to appreciate the narrative side of things rather than mechanics, I’ll focus on that next. People are free to and I believe will have an easy time creating their own stories with the system, but I’m choosing to design a handful of “quests” for single session play to act as framing for how groups SHOULD spend their time. All quests are graded to a difficulty level and have correspondingly increasing rewards

>quests that can be easily completed by a single mech
c-tier
>quests that can be easily completed by a small group(3 or 4) or a single prepared mech with some difficulty

>>97243414
>Could choosing your hand work in other games?
could probably work, you just need the right restrictions to avoid shit breaking. what those are will be different to every game. for ashes that restriction is you can't start duplicates, and instead of a banlist they have a short list of cards you can't play in round 1. the bigger issue is that system is only fun in games where you have some info about the opponent's deck before you pick your start. ashes tells you their character and magic colors, so you have some sense of what they might start and can pick cards to hose them.

even if picking your opening draw wouldn't work for most games though, I wish more new games would try something different, any fucking thing. mtg made their start condition Random 7 + Mulligan 30 fucking years ago, and 99% of games since just mindlessly copy it. zero attempt to improve on it at all, despite the fact that the mechanic has always sucked. even the much bitched-about land system mostly fails as a direct result of the random start.

>>97244460
>I wish more new games would try something different, any fucking thing
It's very much doing its own thing gameplay wise (which is good and a nice attempt at a simulation of the source material), and I don't like the card 'art' being all screencaps or posters (though the foils of the latter can look good), but I like how the Godzilla tcg encourages you to hand-dump because you draw back up to the max at the end of your turn. In a lot of ways it feels more like a board game that happens to have a TCG attached to it.

>>97244201
I don't believe they ever did. Seems like they left a lot of money on the table with that decision.

>>97244601
Apparently they also had marketing saying 'with the release of our Nth set every one of our characters will be featured' so now I wonder if it's because post-release production overlapped with her already being on her way to graduation, but I would need to check the timeline on both.

Are you using this as a teaching aid and reference for players? If you're using it as a ref, it's too wordy - you're asking players to skim through this to find info during their turn. Going to slow the game down a lot and you're going to have people on their phones in like 30 minutes.

Best teaching advice I ever received was to start by teaching the victory conditions and how they're triggered, overview of the board, then teach the actions players can do on their turn. Your player aid/reference should be built like a turn sequence and should aim to cover the most likely events and not every edge case.
