Love the look of an Empire army! Cool!
Thank you!
Cool bat rep, and beautifully painted armies! I'm also loving OW and find it refreshing coming from 40K
I love it, I read about this a while ago and it's just a great way to focus instead of just amassing a pile of shame from various armies not finishing any of them. Thanks for sharing
I certainly agree with the ideas around sportsmanship and theme. However having a single list and never varying it? Not for me. Where is the joy in experimentation and exploration? I'd consider the huge variety available in the game one of its strengths. Seeing how different combinations work both in terms of unit selections, army composition etc is one of the joys of the game. If someone else wants to play the same list irrespective of what they have learnt battle to battle, well that's their choice, but for me that feels like a lost opportunity to do more of what you get enjoyment from.
Amazing narrative battle report, really enjoyed it. Looking forward to more of such content! ^^
Awesome narrative stories!
I love it. I do wish more people played Old World this way!
Same!
Nice looking army, armies. And thanks for sharing the first game. Not played since 6th Ed, which i played from start to finish and thouroughly enjoyed.. Hope to get some enjoyment like that again..
Nice to see some fun narrative and background.. I am honestly a bit sick of the min-maxed arseholery and duplicated "good units" times many. the CONSTANT just "competetive" tournamnet play.. This is much more interesting and FUN!
Thanks! The two of us are both really big on narrative, so we try to incorporate it into every game.
@@DiceMonkeyGames Yeah it is fun! i much more enjoy that! Doesn´t have to be much really.. I name my characters and bosses and then play a game.. Might roll.. But then depending on what happens, chose the next instead.. Laugh at the silly stuff.. :D Sounds like a nice plan, good initiative to get stuff to be able to play at home.. Close to the beer or coffee.. ;)
9:50, cannon cannot shoot over his own units. You need line of sight bro.
@@resnov1 Good to know! Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind for the next game, especially as I’m building my cannon-heavy Nuln army.
Colorado Springs by chance?
This was at Gamer's Haven in Spokane, WA. Though I love the Gamer's Haven in Colorado Springs!
😊
Glad you had fun, can't wait for the next one!
Nice overview, mate! Thanks!! 😊👍
Some games go like this. Good Batrep, I hope to see more
Nice one. Hope to see more Old world battle reps.
Virtual play can be a win for more than just mobility accessibility! I suffer too with keeping up with the game when there is background noise or visuals. Being able to have CC has been a life saver!
Absolutely, yeah! Virtual helps keep the noise level down. And if everyone's getting too noisy, you can turn down your own volume!
👍👍
How badly did those wild riders flub their turn 1 charge? They should have decimated those knights on the turn 1 charge. Crazy old world. Love it though!!
They made their charge, but I got countercharge on it.
@@DiceMonkeyGames they would still have higher initiative, and wipe out most of the Bret knights, before they attack
@@shagmetz Just str 4 AP2 with AB 1 on the charge. Knights can easily survive that with the lady save and regular armor.
@@skeith1543 Not trying to be a rules Nazi or anything but they are Str 5 on the charge with +1 attack for frenzy and +1 for furious charge. So a unit of 5 would be 16 attack with a champion. Hitting on 3s and wounding on 2s. That's alot of saves . I'm just trying to figure out for my own WE army, what not to charge into with them
@@shagmetz str 5? Well that just makes the knights harder to kill. Hitting on 3s, wounding on 2s still need to get past a 5+as (maybe a few 6s) and a 5+ ward save. Even with 16 attacks, you'll lose a good chunk to misses. Assuming you land every wound after that, you still need to get past 5+ armor and 5+ ward. I've seen it happen before, that what should have wiped a knight unit ends up barely hurting them. Chosen knights of Khorne to be specific. It's the lady save in particular that usually ruins the attack plan. Brettonian knights is one of the few units in the game that retains a 5+ ward save. Most everyone else has a 6+ if they have a ward at all, with some of them losing even that to magical attacks, like my poor Phoenix guard. Even regen was reduced to a 5+ in most cases, assuminf fire doesn't knock it out.
I've never played Star Wars but I liked WEG old-canon books, I think the system fit really well that retrofuturistic vibes of the original trilogy. I haven't played FFSW, I like the narrative dice but I want to have the chance to play a distinct group of pilots, jedi, rebels and droids together without having to buy three different games. I feel like restricting the games to "this game is only about rebels" or "this game is only about jedis" is a missed oportunity for fans of the original trilogy.
There really isn't a bad Star Wars system out there. It just depends on how you prefer the game to go.
Absolutely. Each brings a different flavor, but all of them are great.
I have personally been playing the Marvel Multiverse RPG a lot recently, and I think its a pretty great competent system. Nothing special necessarily, but it does exactly what it sets out to do, and fairly well.
I probably should have spent more time talking about this one, since it’s the current most prominent one.
Hi. A few corrections from autistic fan of heroic RPGs :) - The game you've shown at the beginning, DC Heroes is NOT using D6 mechanics, but very old and very crunchy MEGS rules. - Both Marvel and DC RPGs had a lot of incarnations because of licensing. You've even mentioned one of them, also out-of-print Cortex version of Marvel. - Original Marvel RPG, done by the famous TSR (the same TSR as D&D makers) used mechanics called FASERIP by fans (from first letters of abilities used) and the mechanics is still alive even if the Marvel game is dead. Astonishing Superheroes you've mentioned is a FASERIP game. Sadly, its development stopped in eternal beta, but the ideas are used in another FASERIP game called "Heroic" which I highly recommend. - Besides FASERIP and CORTEX versions of Marvel there were also diceless game (almost unknown) and the newest Marvel Multiverse game which uses 3d6, and it's pretty cool. It is also officially a Marvel product so maybe it won't die as soon as previous editions. - Cortex system is also published as a standalone, no-trademark game toolkit, so everyone can build a heroic game using old Marvel-like or Smallville-like rules but without licensed property. - If we are into generic systems, HERO is very heavy, so the better choices could be GURPS (with Powers module), or even better, Savage Worlds (with Superhero companion). There is also BESM system (more anime-oriented but also with superheroic variant called Absolute Power). For narrative game fans there are also superheroic variants of Fate (like Venture City) and Cortex. And for fans of GUMSHOE there is Mutant City Blues, if you like old Batman stories more than current Cinematic Universes.
Thanks for the corrections! I appreciate it. I should look more into the DC Heroes rules.
@@DiceMonkeyGames good luck with finding it, it's pretty rare and unlike FASERIP, Cortex or even D6 it didn't get retro-clones or generic versions. And MEGS was used only in one other game, also out of print (and not in DTRPG)
One system I really like is Mighty Protectors, from Monkey House Games. It's a revised & updated version of the old "Villains & Vigilantes" game from the '80s. It's a d20 system, and has options for both random character creation and point buy. I wouldn't call it "rules light", but it's not as crunchy as something like Champions. Definitely worth a look.
I'll check it out!
Thanks for making this video! I'm a big Superhero/comic fan always looking for newer Superhero ttrpgs. As of right now I consider Sentinels Comics as my favorite because I love how the game handles Henchmen(it's it own system) and the the Dice system allows every skill to be used for any circumstance as long as the player can justify it. A player wants to hack a computer to get info? Their Hacking skill is only a d6 and their Green dice is only 6d but they have a d12 in telekinesis. Player say that while they are hacking they use their Telekinesis to quickly hit the extra keys they need while typing with their also using their fingers. Using their brain in more ways than one to hack. They now can use the d12/d6/d6 dice pool. I've heard of Spectaculars, but my RPG crew plays completely online now. I don't know how well a Big Box game like that translates Online. Big box games tend to have a lot of Deck of cards and things that make it harder to play online. Would llove to try it
I'm just getting into Superhero RPGs myself - I had heard good things about AMP. What's your opinion on that one?
I hadn't heard of that one! I'm looking at it now, and it looks really cool!
@@GenerusCrow Oh, I forgot about AMP. It has very interesting world building but the 2 abilities+D20 mechanics is somehow bland for me. And much like Mutants & Masterminds but with power trees. If you want specific franchise instead of generic heroic RPG, the Aberrant game (the new one, not the original) from Trinity Continuum series is very cool and competent (even if very Iron Age or even anti-heroic) system and has some storyline similarities to AMP (TEG is a studio which don't even pretend they're not massive White Wolf simps). But avoid original White Wolf edition of the game, that was mechanical mess, almost unplayable and a pain even at character creation.
There’s also Essence20: Power Rangers, GI Joe, and Transformers (and My Little Pony, but that’s not relevant to this discussion). Arguably not the best for playing a generic superhero, but definitely easily reskinnable. I haven’t tried building, say, Green Lantern with the system, but I bet I could. I’m already thinking of some ways now that I’ve said it.
I need to check that system out more. It seems really cool!
@@DiceMonkeyGames It definitely has its issues (for one thing, the editing on the books seem nonexistent at times), but there’s a lot of really cool stuff across the different franchises
Just play 5e. They are all superheroes.
Oh man. You didnt even touch Paladium, lol.
And I never will!
SUPER HERO!!!!! We are about to play a short shot of champions and we played a short run of Masks last year
I need to run a game of Marvel Heroic for you sometime!
It's been a long time, but I'd love to revisit this game.
Same! We should look at setting up a regular game.
Critical Role are the McDonald's of RPGs and you are a simping fanboy who should close your anemic channel down.
I tried to watch their Session 0 and One-Shot and I felt the game needs streamlined. They are trying to be different from D&D but similar at the same time and it doesn't work. Also I HATE that the Cleric/Paladin is called a Seraph, the Seraph should be an Ancestry. A foil to the Daemon. They can rename the Cleric to Acolyte or Priest. I like the system of using cards and I would recommend if the plan is to use cards for information then the Character sheet should be one page, keep it simplified.
Normal game, yes. Like he said, adapting is easy and can even be a fun challenge. One shot, no. I can't change a whole game night because someone took good old "Sentinel, Polearm Master" for a level 5 one shot.
as a long time gm i respect adaptation but rules are often important without them the game becomes swiftly broken and railroaded.
I'm pretty new to GM'ing so take this with a teaspoon of salt. Yes. Within certain bounds, I don't care WHAT you play so long as you're having a good time. (And aren't messing with other players fun.)
I would always rather let my players feel cool than ban things, whether that be races, classes, spells, or combos
I start games at level 3 and they get a free feat
I just ask them to not intentionally make decisions that would create confrlict with the other players at the table or myself. (Character conflict is fine when it serves the story we are telling, just try not to target the players themselves)
I'm all for a permissive play style, but that's within the boundaries of balance. Can't have one dude playing Aragorn and another playing Goku.
sign of a good dm is if your dm is at all like the second guy
REEEEAAAAL
VHuman is the most fun race to play because of the customization, it being powerful is just a byproduct for me
Yeah, I really like the variant human race. But that’s probably because I play at a table without meta gamers.
you sound like a *very* fun DM!
why would anyone not allow varient human... yeah you get to pick a feat but its still less powerful than most racial bonues..... even if its a tad more versitle, that versitility is locked in on sesh 0
I think banning individual things that are widely considered "op" I pretty dumb because I can use a combo that allows me to cast twinned spell max damage lightning meteor swarm without taking any feats or races that are considered over powered. If you want to use the combo, it's 2 levels of storm cleric, 9 levels of any sorcerer with twinned spell meta magic, and 9 levels of scribe (i think. It's the one that allows you to change the damage type of the spells you cast) wizard.
do you mean quickened spell, because you can't twinned spell area of effects like meteor swarm, or did your DM allow it? Edit: It is scribes wizard, but it's the tempest cleric
@ryanmorgan4051 where does it say area of affect spells can't be twinned spelled? It's a genuine question since it's been a long while since I've used a sorcerer.
@@Froyorionpop also yeah that's my bad on the naming of the subclass of the druid.
@@mrhatnclogs116 Subclass of cleric, and in the twinned spell description it says "when you cast a spell that targets only one creature". Thanks for asking
@ryanmorgan4051 welp didn't realize that, but you can just quicken the spell and cast it twice anyway.
Varied human?
Hey im starting a new campaign based off the lost mine of phandelver and the sword coast do you have any advice for a baby dm
