Happy Sunday CoGs and OTTers!
@Lloyd I have that exact same Mamod traction engine
Isnt the Shanes Castle steam engine not up at the Causeway now?
@warzan I think the smoking /obesity thing I rubbish. Although I no longer smoke. I do still vape and I’m still a fat c*nt
Then taking up smoking is not gonna work for me then lol Ahh Well!
Weight gain occurs when you quit smoking as it can be an unconscious habit to reach for sugary snacks to recreate the dopamine hit of smoking. Therefore it wouldn’t work in reverse necessarily as your eating habit is established already.
My first thoughts about rulesets and Warren’s war project reminded me of this is that the rulebook needs an index
Not Found
This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?
It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try a search?
While I’m here I’ll just say I hate living rulebooks. Means that all the players might have different versions of the rules when they meet up to play
Try now
Happy Sunday XLBSers.
Lol let the Wookie IN.?
Yes she is said to be a friendly girl from the story’s.
Are you sure it’s not a lump of slate. Warren?
Nothing beats a good scrubber.?
Yes MANSHEDS Are.us.
Nuns and their dirty habits.?LOL
As an aside the warhammer combat system is based off Tony Baths ancients ruleset from the early to mid 70’s
You can have a train set in the other part of the garden.??
It’s all the crap in factory food’s.
You can’t do D20s Lloyd is allergic to them @warzan
? one page rules ?????
Anything where you do have to drag out the encilopedia is a good start.
I am with @warzan – it all feels like more of the same. What we need are new formats, not new topics. New game mechanics, not new genres. Based on existing games but reimagined. Converting once-cooperative games into extremely competitive ones and vice versa. I have an idea. More soon in the project system.
Happy Sunday! So Snag-a-normie failed – the next OTT recruitment drive will be Clone a Member??
Some of us cannot be cloned as we are truly unique members. I keep telling myself this to feel special, just like everybody else.
Very interesting discussion today – thanks lads! @Warzan you might like this quote from TS Elliot: “We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.” There is probably a reason why there is massive commonality in the rulesets of games that have survived the test of time. In 10 attempts, the 40K designers have kept coming back to largely the same system (core system that is – layers of special rules are another matter), and that myriad other games have similar… Read more »
Happy weekend chaps n chapette. Many many thanks for the Golden Button and even more thanks for the really kind words 🙂
That wizards folly is bloody gorgeous. cracking sculpt and a really lovely paint job. I need one…….. bcs reasons!!
@warzan One Page Rules?
@warzan Adding GW into this conversation is a problem. They are unique in so many ways and it is at this point pretty indisputable that they have completely screwed their rulesets to the brink of unplayability. The reasons for this are complex and thankfully most (if not all) other game designers have kept a tight lid on this and kept playability ahead of financial concerns.
Fat also has the same/similar affect on the liver as alcohol. Morgan Spurlock discovered that during the filming of his documentary film where he ate nothing but McDonald’s for 30 days
I wouldn’t believe him, but as is pointed out in the lecture only one thing on the McDonalds menu doesn’t include sugar and that is the nuggets, which you eat with a sugar dipping sauce.
Happy Sunday. Thanks for the golden button. I can now call that project multi-award winning as it’s my second golden button for that project. I couldn’t help but think of One Page Rules, which nicely incorporate the same or very similar rules across various genres. Also Joe McCullough tends to use very similar rules across his work. I kind of like how games like the multi-award winning Moonstone just says to choose any six miniatures from a particular faction. It seems so much neater than points but then some games I like building and customises each character in a warband… Read more »
