/TG/ DEVELOPED A GAME
IT IS PLAYABLE. IT HAS BEEN PLAYED.
EXPEDITION is a ~1880s era, Jules Verne-inspired retro-futurist, underground blood soaked adventurescape.
It is a Skirmish wargame. Two players with their own expeditions, on a hexgrid map, explore & fight each other for victory and profit.

3 versions of the rules exist, 2 of which have been playtested. The main one is 2e, to be found :

I have a distinct memory of doing a reading at U.C. Irvine, where Avram was teaching at the time, to find him sitting in a front row, holding a frisky helium balloon in one hand, and a pretty young student’s hand in the other. After I finished my gig (somewhat distracted by performing in front of one of my major heroes, old friend or no), Avram came up to give me a hug and to inquire, quite seriously, “What do you know about feral camels?” As it happened, I did know something about a tentative attempt by the American Army, in the days after the Civil War, to introduce a small force of camels into the deserts of the Southwest. The attempt was soon abandoned; but for many years afterward, soldiers and nineteenth-century tourists alike would report having seen impossible ghostlike creatures materializing out of a sandstorm, and vanishing again just as swiftly.

I happened upon this while flipping the story I'm aiming for. It reminds me of the oldlore of saurs being introduced to the west like these camels. It makes me wonder if whoever came up with that knew this story, or if it's just such a perfectly natural idea that strange animals should be introduced to the deserts of America.

>we let L.N.B get away with it too
I actually suggest letting him die and replacing him with his son, Eugene L.N.B., who'd be the exact same unit, but keeping all the lore - Charles' story happened, he met Akamnandag etc. and on the meta level we could say he was playable in an early edition. Emperor or not, this man fucked, he'd make a heir eventually.
For simplicity's sake we could use actual Eugene as base, regardless of whom Charles is likely to marry in this timeline. He'd be using his military career to build up clout and political support and basically become a mixture of his own father and Boulanger OTL.

Solar 3. Permanent Devil Body is equivalent to a "Create a supernatural being of a singular nature and considerable power." If I were your ST I'd also insist on a caveat like with immortality, a critical flaw that opponents could sus out with investigation and lore/occult, like the 2e flaw of invulnerability
>>
>>97828204
Understandable on both counts. Define caveat, you mean like some kind of condition that can be used to just turn off the Devil-Body used in such a way? How would you reconcile that with Paramount Body/Mind?
>>
>>97828215
Depends on your and your group. I've played where immortality was limited to a specific location, for example, or contingent on a high Cult level so enemies could get around it by working against the person rather than just charging straight at them. Or like I said a flaw that causes it to fail, maybe something dramatically ironic like if they cause your Limit Trigger your character gets so butthurt that Devil Body collapses for the session.
>>
>>97828204
Hmm, also fair enough. I honestly miss motonic physics/Graceful Wicked Masques-level rules for nonsense, but if anything deserves the it's your game, fanwank something treatment given how it's supposed to be some kind of solipsistic apotheosis, it's Devil-Bodies.

Already racking my brains over the custom Torment option that can potentially cost more than one dot, that right there could be gamechanging.

No idea why the link missed >>97828230 but I guess that also answers my follow-up question about what it would take to make the inner world absolutely real and stop fucking around with the functionally useless Charm that only lets you bring out what are probably trivial people/things unless you worked on them directly with Craft/sorcery/Constructive Convergence of Principles/VEE and the like while within the realm.

...which really isn't that big a restriction, now that I think about it.

How about creating your own thing? Oh wait, in today's stupid world everyone is chasing the safe option instead of doing something new and getting a market without competitors, it's too much risk for retarded modern investors.
>>
I'm really not sure, but there's still some time to decide. On one hand, nowadays 50 bucks for 2 starter decks with dice included doesn't sound that bad of a deal, especially since they keep adding some bonus to all tiers. I do like keeping starter decks of different out of print games around like self-contained games just to see how rules evolve in card games though.

On the other hand... it looks so incredibly boring. Art is boring, gameplay looks boring, even these extras that should be exciting look so bland, like the deckboxes. These companies really should take some risks with innovation before every experience whatsoever is slopified into purgatory.

But what do I know? They make the big money after all. Maybe this is what people actually want.

Altered also made several incredibly retarded decisions everyone saw as unsustainable from the beginning. Mechanically unique cards? Print on demand after trading on their NFT-ish app? Cyberpunk seems more conventional in the business model.

Sorcery was a kickstarter success and so far seems to be doing well but that is also due to recognizing it is very much a niche product and playing to that niche.

Pigheaded Edition

>What is Trench Crusade?
An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, and it's very Blanchitsu.

>What's the QRD on the background?
The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.

>How do I get started?
All the files are free online:
https://www.trenchcrusade.com/rules/

They used to be split between the website and the discord, but no more. For posterity's sake, the old mega will still be kept active even if it's unlikely to need updating: https://mega.nz/folder/70QH0BBa#Eg-blxYQKkY_C02wErnFTQ

>>97828233
Firstly: no they aren't. Most people aren't even willing to try a different system once they have one they're comfortable with.
Secondly: no such system has been made despite the ideas being widely known, which suggests no one is interested.
Thirdly: using a lot of simple but laborious number crunching for the sake of not having to pick up two dice at a time would be a bafflingly terrible tradeoff.
