That's old. :)

So, people should not be paid for their work?

I wasn't much interested in the setting (except maybe Hunter), but the system mechanics hold promise, I believe. I've often considered a Hunter/Delta Green/Supernatural/Grimm mix with some Tim Powers thrown in, run with the WoD system.

I've been part of a battalion that rolled out from NDP to full-on invasion in ten minutes. Motivation, leadership, and discipline make all the difference. Sure, a lethargic herd of pudgy legs overseen by lifers falling out in garrison to get participation ribbons is going to be a sad...

Depends on your TTRPG. It certainly isn't, at my table. And Romans did not take anywhere near that long to form up, unless you are confusing a transition from a Legion on the march assembling with 'forming up'.

Depends on technology, doctrine, and culture. There are plenty of examples of roman through late medieval forces getting caught unawares by enemy getting in close without being spotted.

Fix 'em, flank 'em, finish 'em. However, technology, design, and doctrine are the alloy that makes a war machine. What worked for Roman legions does not work for medieval troops, and a guy who read books about Napoleon isn't an authority on anything except books about Napoleon.

I said I never said it in this thread. You, however, are saying it a lot. You a tad obsessive about me. Time to put you on Ignore.

You are the only one in this thread using those terms. And using them repeatedly.

I already answered that. Calm down; you're not doing the book any favors.

Calm down.

That is an odd book. A lot of random tables, but better than most generic splatbooks.

I made one post. You're the one who's bringing up all the drama. And you might want to actually read the book this time, and Flames of Freedom.

My post in this thread did not suggest that it was a rip-off, or not worth buying. And the fact is, the only changes to the combat mechanics are, as I noted above, just errata and a few tweaks from Flames of Freedom.

Not really a new edition, just errata and a few tweaks from Flames of Freedom to the mechanics.

The shame mounts!

The only thing less important than interior art is in-setting fiction.

Rules light also doesn't mean newbie-friendly, either. They assume a certain competence, and a willingness to put more into a PC. Whereas a crunchy system, 'how do I...' can be answered with '+3 to your whatever. Pregens are a quick and simple tool for newbies. One session, and they're...

Not at all. Have you posted on Redditt, including time zone? Presentation is everything. Are you using Roll20 or Foundry? I use systems and settings (often mis-matched) that are not all that common (a couple rather obscure and OOP), and for the last six years I've not only kept six chairs...

If you are embracing NN's philosophy of separating the industry from the hobby, then your own point is invalid: if we don't care about the industry, there's no need to attract new people. There are endless volumes of trained players seeking groups online, a large number of them undeterred by...
