The more I think I may even use different rulesets for each "scene" in this crazy nightmare they are venturing in. Simple and based around similar mechanics but I think only their PC personality will actually be transported into the painting, they will take on characters in the worlds they are...

At our table the 4th pillar is whisk(e)y. Which of course leads to shenanigans so I think he's right.

Well I think I will put some of my other wargaming miniatures to use. So there will be a WW2 encounter, a Wild West encounter, and a Sci-Fi encounter using Terminator T-800 miniatures. Plus some nutty fantasy stuff from Dungeonland, and some of the other stuff. Should be fun. Will have to...

I am thinking of using some Gamma World/Mutant Crawl Classics for one encounter. Some genre bending stuff since this is entering a pocket reality inside an ancient magical painting. I'm using the rules/magic book as a rules expansion to my OSE game so I'll look into some of the adventures as...

Yeah, this will be kind of a trip though the magic mirror to wonderland type setup, with a lot of surreal shenanigans and mind bending nonsense. A wedding scene may fit in. One PC they thought was dead was actually transported into this painting and they will have to get him out. Trying to...

Good call. I need to look into those as well. I played in one as well that was quite trippy. It didn’t help that it was a funnel and my guy was armed with a chicken.

I’ll check those out. Thanks.

Putting together something for my OSE game and looking for more inspiration from some real off the wall D&D modules, or just individual encounters. Doesn’t have to flow together, jarring changes from encounter to encounter would work well. Looking at some of the Dungeonland/Beyond the Magic...

One of the guys in my group is already approaching this like its Mad Max and is pretty much saying we need to become kill crazy madmen now and loot anyone we come across that has stuff we need. I know he is going to complain mightily about having to fail and EMP roll to delivery a finishing...

So if you unload a M16 on a foe and roll 6 ammo dice and get a bunch of extra hits. So suppose you get a 3 point hit that is reduced by 1 by armor. So that is 2 hits. The target had hit capacity of 4. So they are at 2. One of the ammo dice is a separate hit and hits a leg for 2. Now the...

Yeah, I was just running a solo test combat to get a handle on the rules and after incapacitating a target the other guy firing on that same target hit him but I wasn’t sure if I had to roll or what. Not sure I agree with some of the weapons stats in this game. A 5.45x39 AK-74 has a better...

So once a character is incapacitated you can just kill him with a shot right? No damage rolls? Assuming you fail your empathy test.

15mm Team Yankee stuff would be good.

Scales can easily be adjusted in most games, I'm assuming that is the case in this. Change combat encounter hexes to 2m or something, go off a dry erase hex map with building and stuff, or ditch hex maps and use my wargaming matts and buildings with tape measures. Would depend on the scale...

Seems like the whole hex crawl aspect of this is a big part of it. Which isn't bad mind you. I haven't had time to fully read it, just flip though, but it seems to be a bit skirmish game, as well as a RPG. The core dice mechanics remind me of some miniatures games I have. But those may be...

The odds of my players buying specialty dice is minimal but as long as we can work around it with normal dice we will be okay. I've got the box set so I've got a set so that's fine. The main question is will my group that came up on late 70's/early 80's gaming prefer this to 1e and then will...

On first look this is defiantly a different game than earlier editions. Far more RP emphasis with buddies and unit morale and that. I like the character generation takes a cue from Traveller. Need to read though the combat system more and get a better handle on the dice. Never been a fan of...

Picking up my copy today. Looking forward to giving it a good read over and then running a skirmish to get a feel for the new rules.

In 1e there was a map showing all the nukage in Poland as a LOT of tactical nukes, and some strategic nukes, were used by both sides. I hope this is the same. It just never slid into full "empty the ICBM silos" warfare. But Europe and the USA, along with the Soviet Union, were pretty...

Nice. As an OSE referee I'm always looking for cool new stuff.
