Looking at the Deities & Demi-Gods and I'm wondering if any of you have ever made a campaign based around other regions of the globe? I always wanted to do a sword & sandals* campaign but never got around to do it. I'm a big fan if the old Sinbad, Clash of Titans and Greek mythology movies...

Looking at my Penguin Atlas of Ancient History I find the era around 560 (before Christ) interesting. Use of metal has spread very far. The Greeks have spread far and wide. The Babylonians control all of Turkey and the fertile lands (not yet the Persian Empire). The Medes have a large empire...

Received the hard copy today. It's digest size. Strong binding. The font size is a bit small but since the spacing between the line is wide it remains easy to read. A lovely book. Happy with my purchase. I rolled my first four characters. Will start the adventure blog any day now.

They come with a unique ship profile, pilot, talents, gear. A set of movement cards. It's not like Star Wars. There isn't a myriad of ships and factions. I view it as a casual game that packs a punch.

When I feel the urge to play an old school counter and hexes games I take out my Space Empire 4x box by Jim Krohn. You get to explore, expand, exploit and exterminate. What I like about this game is that you can play it solo. The Doomsday Machine and the Alien Empire scenarios are designed to...

As a fan you should definitely buy it. I'm very happy with it. I plan to buy the Apollo Viper MK VII, the Starbuck Cylon Raider. I already bought a pack of four extra control panels, the Boomer Raptor and the Cylon Heavy Raider Combat/Transport. Also, you should know they will put out the...

Very cool !

This hobbyist in me couldn't resist. I painted the text and important info on the panels and bases in yellow or white.

Yep! From the get go in 1980. We didn't want our characters to die. We wanted reach the highest levels and live the greatest adventures! The game killed our characters with random death rolls. So we changed the game or stopped using the rules that randomly killed out characters. Character death...

Great work. I've resisted buying a 3D printer. I think I will do that in 2021.

I bought this game in 2019 and played several games. The starter set is loaded with stuff and offers a lot of replayability thanks to the pilot cards, talents and flaw cards and tech cards. A much better starter experience than X-Wing. I called it starter but this is a full game by itself...

People collect miniatures. Interest in miniatures is always high. More so with wargamers. My friend who owns a store as not seen a decrease in sales. The players are assembling and painting more now that they are quarantined, since they cannot play.

That is correct. MtG and other CCGs monopolized a large portion of gamer's income post 94. I didn't like MtG. I played Middle Earth by I.C.E. (1995) instead. Much more immersive. I totally missed the publication of Altertiny because of CCGs. I was in the card bubble. Normally I would have bought...

One thing I really liked about older editions is that we used squares in the dungeon and hexes for wilderness. Also, range for spells and range attacks tripled, going from feet to yards IIRC. I used hexes with 5e for wilderness. I have nice Battletech colour maps.

We don't «play» with our miniatures. We use them to indicate the position of each combatant. We don't care who moves them. I play low tech Pen & Paper & Skype. No need to draw maps and import counters on Roll20. Saves me time for something else.

If they do it I want a 5% royalty on each box for the idea. :D:D:D

Not really. I use miniature in my Skype games. My camera points at a play mat and I move the models during combat.

Hey, guys I know I don't own this thread but I would appreciate it if you started a thread about simultaneous initiative and what it entails. It is a very interesting topic and I think others would have good input. ;)

Critical Roll Box Set with miniatures of Matt Mercer, the players and the furniture. With rules to roleplay a group of voice actors who broadcast a game of D&D online. Includes a map of the studio, a few miniatures of monsters : show producers, rabbit haters, crazy technician.
