Do you prefer a ton of detail fleshing out an adventure module, or do you prefer only the most note worthy and explicit features required to run the adventure? there's two competing schools of thought on how one creates more work for the DM than the other. However they might be overlooking the effort that goes into summing and paraphrasing down a lot of fluff into actionable material to execute at the table, and how flexible the canvas is to do whatever it is you wish with the more straightforward template.

>the 1e DMG is required reading regardless of system used.
No. The scant chapters on how to GM *might* be required reading if you are dealing with extremely shitty players. Most of the DMG is explanations of how its systems actually work. Since Gary thought the real rules of the game needed to be hidden from the players. There's very little to actually glean as a generalized gamemaster, and what is there is hidden amongst tedium. The Judge's Journal on the other hand, has all the game master advice front loaded. So even if you have no interest in running ACKS, you can still get the advice without reading the whole thing.

If they wanted to just do a remake of the original trilogy (plucky band of rebels against an evil empire) they should have set it farther in the future. You could have all the same shit and have the legacy characters show up as fucking halocrons or in recordings. One would have thought that Indiana Jones and the Crystal skull would have taught these idiots that we don't want to actually see the heroes of our youths as oldsters.

That's true, stormcast are the most susceptible to unit changes because there's like 3 or 4 options for roughly the same role at all times. Like aren't vindictors absolute garbage despite being the basic dominion guys? Although that may be intentional on gw's part to get you to buy the new shit.
Reminds me how it's the exact opposite for some armies, namarti have always been shit and eels have always been great, for 4 battletomes in a row.
Oh by the way we introduced a new character, the lore is that she hates akhelians and wishes for namarti to take over, wanna know what her abilities are? Boosts eels lmao.

>namarti have always been shit and eels have always been great

This type of shit has annoyed me forever, this is literally what happened with Glaivewraiths. Were shitty from launch and were eventually just hotfixed out of the game. They pulled this exact same shit with underworlds where despite completely having the opportunity to redo the entire cast of warbands and all the garbage ones, GW seemingly thinks it's part of the identity of some things to just be worthless.

SCE are the most susceptible to change, because they are literally corpo garbage, artifical and alien to the setting faction invented by people who didn't give a single fuck about the setting, just were dreaming about space marine players buying another sigmarine army. Now they are desperately trying to figure out their role in the setting without squatting them. I have my doubts if they can be fixed. I mean, can you even invent lore of the army of demigods without sounding like a bad fanfiction?

I really love hex tile games so I made one where cities are dice (to represent the size) and you draw tiles from a random bag like Carcassonne and place them according to rules (like you have to contribute to existing forests or mountain ranges on the edge until they're a certain size, before you can start a new one).

The game was very visually and tactilely satisfying to me, which is important since it's being played in the physical realm. But the girls, as you can see, are a bit small. So I bought new ones.

I haven't painted them yet but I am hoping to add some numbers to them, almost like Catan has.

So therein lies my question (and I know I'm leaving a lot of details out, this game is very different from Catan, but it's basically a 4x tabletop hex tile game). My question being:

Do people actually like rolling dice in Catan? I think in Catan it's a very elegant way of adding depth to the game.

Currently in my game, you roll 1d6 per population of a city, and for each 5 you roll you can get a resource of the tile your city's on, and for each 6 you can get that or an adjacent resource. But that leads to a lot of dice rolling. By the end game you might be rolling 10 pools of dice each with 6 dice, and making decisions along the way.

So obviously I want to simplify it.

But the question is, do people even like the dice rolling in Catan? Or would they rather the randomness be removed from it?
