| − | I have played the new Warhammer. Matt will love it, because it is based around the d8 and the BHoD theory of gaming. Its relatively simple, quick and intuitive. In typical Fantasy Flight fashion it is bits heavy, with tons of crazy markers for all sorts of shit, but its very well done in a quality sense. It plays a hell of a lot like a board game. One session only, but I will keep details coming.

| − | JASON: The game is built around creating a hand of dice to throw for actions. The dice have easy to read symbols on them which determine not only success and failure, but also boons and banes, which add little wrinkles to the actions. Each maneuver or action you can perform has an associated card, which there is a deck for each player, and when you do it there are possibilities relative to how many of success and bane/boon are present. Its very easy to have a lot of different possibilities with no need to use the book for reference. Also, many types of special actions you can use have a refresh rating, making them something you cant use all the time. Some dice combinations place extra counters on them as well. You can never count on having all of your actions available, so being a one trick pony is less likely to work well. Damage is done in the form of cards, for each point you take you draw a card. But as long as they are face down they have no real effect. Once you start taking criticals, which can happen when you take even one wound (because of special actions) you start turning them over. Basically, you are always at risk in combat. Characters are also allowed to assume a stance, be it conservative or aggressive, which allows you to use special dice and change the possibilities somewhat. There are plenty of choices, and many possibilities, yet it remains a very simple engine. After one session I have to say I am pleased.

| − | Well, it's that time of year again. Unfortunately, I'm on internal medicine, which means I take call every 4th night...and that means I can't give you a firm date for this event yet, though hopefully it will be in February, or at least early march. But I think I've figured out what I plan to do this year, a little something inspired by my old GM Matt Wilson at Grinnell and hopefully not too labor intensive to set up. I'm posting it here because there may be a little prep time involved for some of those that want to participate:<br>
| + | Dieter: VI, II, VIII, IV, VII, III, IX, I, X, V<br> |
| − | The premise: heroes from across many planes of existence have been summoned together for a mysterious purpose.<br>
| + | Jason: VI, VIII, II, IV, IX, VII, III, X, I(?), V(?)<br> |
| − | The Mechanic: Pick your favorite character that you have played...or even your favorite NPC from a game you have GMed or played in. Convert said character to Hero. Bring the character sheet to the game. Play that character. Sound good?<br>
| + | Rumi: VI, VIII, II, IV, VII, III, IX, I, X, V<br> |
| − | Feel free to comment here: if this sounds lame, there's plenty of time for me to brew up something else.
| + | Peter: Galaxy Quest |
| | | | |
| − | RUMI: I ♥ this idea. :D On a selfish note, I have family in town from 2.18 to 2.26 and J and I are out of town from 2.21 through 2.25.
| + | --[[User:Jason|Jason]] 12:38, 22 January 2013 (MST)Ladies and gentledudes, I have received an email from Ed and he is officially populating the earth with Edlings. He now has two kids, a boy (Theo) and a girl (Ella). He seems to be doing well, and I continue to be jealous of him. Reckanize. |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]] 11:12, 4 January 2010 (MST) Sounds like a comic book, also sounds very fun. Let us know as far ahead of time as possible, though I realize that could be tough. | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 19:52, 4 January 2010 (MST) Love the idea. And I would also request that you somehow finally work out a PC getting killed by a Space Marine drop-pod. That would be awesome. Even if it was me.
| + | |

| − | BEN: I hear and obey.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | JASON: Can I play Ben in this game? The only problem is how I can fit him into 400 points or less.
| + | |

| − | BEN: that was a good session today...lots of fun, even if my character nearly got killed again. nice emperor battle too.

| − | --[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]] 10:15, 7 December 2009 (MST) Funny you should say that, I was about to post the same! I really enjoyed the RPs, a good mix of serous play and down right goofy (although very effective...). I think my favorite part is when Ben Hans went and punched out the noble in a cafe, and Elf Hans started a food fight. Okay actually that whole thing was great. Showing up as the "bandit king" was great.

| − | | + | |
| − | [[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] that correct? 17 xp for characters and 3 for followers?

| − | --[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]] 16:47, 14 December 2009 (MST) I thought we got a bonus 3 times?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Dieterthebold|Dieter the Bold]] 12:26, 15 December 2009 (MST) Gabe is correct. We got +1 bonus XP each round of card play. XP corrected above.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] uh, you didn't chage it, so xp corrected above by me.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]] 16:13, 15 December 2009 (MST) Dieter is full of lies.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] that was a great session last time, btw. really enjoyed it. i thought the card thing worked quite nicely for that kind of round robbin storytelling. ever played "once upon a time"? its a round robin story telling game just like we did, but instead of regular cards each person has a hand full of cards with something printed on them that they should work into the story: "a king", or "a quest", or "a sword", "betrayal"....that kind of thing. might be another interesting way to do it. may be more constraining or may help with creativity.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | BEN: saw it and was intrigued but was worried that it wasn't open ended enough. I'd like to try it some time, especially with "non-gamers" as a way to illustrate why gaming is fun for them that like it. I also enjoyed it and like the card mechanic for telling large chunks of story...I think the mechanic is most beneficial in the sense that it creates some arbitrary structure and it really promotes players working together because of the need to counter GM moves.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] totally. and that arbitrary structure is a good thing. it encourages both small tidbits that enrich the story with low cards and big sweeping develpments with high cards.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | BEN: Another important piece of "world news" for Amora:<br>
| + | |
| − | In the wake of Serafina's assassination, A mysterious warrior has begun "cracking skulls" and asking questions. This has happened in Csara, Eburon (by report of the Children of Light and Shadow) and Imadigo, mostly). Especially in Eburon, the warrior has been opposed by fairly potent opponents, including at least one mage, and come away victorious and unscathed.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] i don't remember who serafina is. lol
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | BEN: in the current generation, an unprecedented 3 witch queens exist: Arina, Serafina, and Jagha. They united (also unprecedented) and offered to each take 3 apprentices (ALSO unpre...you know the drill). Now, one has been assassinated, something that has happened to witch queens a number of times you could count on one hand. It's a big deal.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] oh, that Hans. now i remember. what happened to her apprentices? presumably one is hunting her killer
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[User:Matts|Matts]] Isn't she the one who had robot Hans for an apprentice?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | BEN: that was Arina. You guys never met serafina.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] and now we never will. oh wait, its high fantasy, we probably will.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Matts|Matts]] 11:21, 18 December 2009 (MST)You meant to say, "And now Hans never Hans. Oh wait, it's high Hans, we probably Hans."
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] HAAAns HAAAns HAAAAns. you so funny.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | --[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]] 15:21, 18 December 2009 (MST) I gotta Hans it to you guys. And with that I wash my Hans of this conversation!

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | [[User:Edmiao|Edmiao]] we got questions we can ask about plot points in the game. Ed has 2, Gabe has 4, Dieter has 9. Things to ask:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 1) where did that human girl born under the forge sign that the dwarves gave to Fantus come from? what is her history? Why does Aeifra look at her with eyes like a wolf?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 2) who is the knight of thorns, what's his story? Why is he so crazy?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 3) where did the fairies on caminus go? Do we care?
| + | |
This page is for discussion of stuff related to the game coming up this week, no matter when that actually is. For instance, we can all assume Nate isnt coming for some lame reason and that Ed is sick of pizza and is bringing teriyaki or some other crap. They can post something here if that happens to be untrue.
