Love the look of an Empire army! Cool!

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!

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!

9:50, cannon cannot shoot over his own units. You need line of sight bro.

Colorado Springs by chance?

😊

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!

👍👍

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Just play 5e. They are all superheroes.

Oh man. You didnt even touch Paladium, lol.

SUPER HERO!!!!! We are about to play a short shot of champions and we played a short run of Masks last year

It's been a long time, but I'd love to revisit this 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.

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
