Indie Thursday: Storage, Sorcery & Comradery With Gerry!
February 21, 2019 by cassn
Cass, Ryan, Dawn and Glorious Leader Gerry get together to have a look at the best Indie game products this week!
This week, Dawn's d6 addiction gets out of hand - luckily Cass has found Nadarra Creations Dice Boxes to meet Dawn's storage needs! Next, Cass and Ryan twist time in wallet-sized card game Antinomy. Finally, Supreme Ruler Gerry takes a despotic look at Comrades: A Revolutionary RPG!

Sorry Cass, i’m jackboots all the way!! However even though i am on the other side of the spectrum from you i really enjoy these indie games videos and i am always entertained by your energy and passion for them.
Keep hunting for those indie goldies and i’ll see you in no mans land soon!! (That was supposed to be humorously ominous…not just plane old ominous)
🙂
Although we are opposed my proletariat brother, when we meet on the battlefield it shall be in joyful fraternity (If I keep talking like this, I reckon I can start the BoW Glorious Revolution lol!)
Long Live Supreme Leader @warzan lol
That’s why i love BoW, people from the length and breadth of the political and social spectrum’s united by their love of dishing out the pain through the medium of table top gaming!!
Such a healthy form of conflict resolution 🙂
@Gerry, re: anything “Powered by The Apocalypse”, by “relatively simply” do you mean superb@lls?
I have a sense that you do.
More importantly, why are you wearing a hat indoors?
Have you tried the salmon mousse?
@Cass, as the owner of one of the tables that Gerry occasionally sits at to play RPGs I’d like to assure you he is a fluffy bunny, at a table of fluffy bunnies. In the Monty Python sense.
Brother @dracs bring out the holy hand grenade!!
And remember to count to three, not four and five is definitely out.
hair is getting longer and unusual, therefore hat.
The Bunny analogy is correct mind you
Hail UBERSTANTFUHRERGROSSUNIVERSEMEISTER GERRY!
@cutter : The rules themselves and how it is supposed to work may need a bit of learning if you’re used to more traditional RPG’s like D&D. The apoc engine games tend to be driven by the theme. You see this in the roles, the names for the statistics, and the skills. All have a thematically appropiate name and description. Every player/character has a relation to at least one more character within the group. And it’s not always a friendly relation. Skills tests are 2D6 roll. – 10+ : the best result, – 7+ : success at a cost –… Read more »
@limburger, cheers limbo old buddy, old pal but I dislike PbtA precisely because I know how it works.
Ignorance, in this instance, would be bliss.
Sex move anyone?
@cutter : internet context can be tricky. Nothing wrong with a ‘sex move’ … you just got to know when, how and with whom/what. Isn’t it weird that RPG’s tend to focus on hurting people instead of pleasing them ? Anyways. I’ve yet to play any PbtA game (I tend to buy systems as inspiration), but I do agree that that part of the system in the original game didn’t make any sense. It’s not as explicit in every game though. The ‘MASHED’ rules have “seduce” at best. I suspect it was done to make it more ‘mature’, but I… Read more »
Speaking of Dictators at a single table … there’s this little game called “Revenge of the Dictators” :

SOLD!! That is a product that deserves a place on my shelf, great shout @limburger
Why is Dawn transporting her dice in horde-sized 3D movement trays?
?
Going by his shirt, I take it @avernos is condoning selling bottled insanity to the masses?
?
always, of all the things I lost I miss my mind the most ;P
antinomy sounds a nice fun game.
the way things are going a real revolution may be coming across Europe.
