I think," says Lt. Gytovo, "that we should try to be diplomatic. Odds are they got left in the lurch like everybody else in this whole sad affair. I say we trade amnesty for a ride to high command.". To get their attention, waving the whitest shreds of fabric he could find. Q: What does Caidro want? The three...

Wargame, RPG and Boardgame experience, preferably consumed solo. Tuesday, June 17, 2014. News from the gaming front lines. For a long time now I have nothing new and finished to report.

That uses very nice dice allocation mechanism to access player's abilities. BGG Solitaire PnP Contest. Solo wargames and RPG. Monday, June 9, 2014. It is a Eurogame styled ...

alea iactanda est: Rumours
http://aleaiactandaest.blogspot.com/p/rumours_22.html
Monsters beneath the ruined monastery. Monsters in the old dungeon of Foehrenfort. The old Traveller Book. Whilst I wrote up these tables with Traveller in mind, they are general enough that, mutatis mutandis. They should be adequate for most RPGs, solo or with a GM. Table 1 determines the general category of rumour, and tables 2-6 specify it further. Table 7 determines the magnitude of the rumour; there are four separate columns, one of which must be selected before rolling. Finally, table 8 det...To ge...

BattReps: Official surrender
http://battreps.blogspot.com/2015/04/official-surrender.html
Wargame, RPG and Boardgame experience, preferably consumed solo. Thursday, April 9, 2015. I finally decided to try 5 Core (second edition) from Nordic Weasel Games. And, unfortunately, I have to confirm what other people already stated on the web - 5 Core is the best SF/modern skirmish game available on the internet. Didn't expect this to happen - but I am totally hooked :). Game was played on 1"x1" table using GW Epic 6mm orks and marines and 1'=3' ruler. Covered by support fire from auto rifle, one bra...

BattReps: September 2014
http://battreps.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Wargame, RPG and Boardgame experience, preferably consumed solo. Saturday, September 27, 2014. The person I am familiar with, the "well known solo RPG blogger" just turned 40 today. So few days ago I decided to threat him with a book. And the package from BookDepository arrived today, just on time. Now all he needs is to wait for Dungen Master's Guide to be publish in December and he will be able to solo 5th edition D&D :). Labels: Solo wargames and RPG. Wednesday, September 24, 2014. But Oolong was not ...

BattReps: November 2014
http://battreps.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Wargame, RPG and Boardgame experience, preferably consumed solo. Friday, November 28, 2014. The main problem I have with the two producers of 6mm napoleonic armies I use is their opinion about necessity of NCOs in the army. To overcome this problem I am usually doing conversions. The easiest way is to convert spare eagle bearer into NCO, by cutting eagle and painting remaining part of the pole as musket, with some simple bending to create bayonet. Then, I noticed drummer from the same strip. It's rig...

BattReps: January 2015

Wargame, RPG and Boardgame experience, preferably consumed solo. Friday, January 30, 2015. Yesterday, I received a copy of the first "physical" kickstarter I ever supported. It is a card game called Pleasant Dreams. It is a simple push your luck card game, no better or worst than bulk of the print and play games appearing every year on BGG solo print and play competition. Challenge and re-playability level for one player is pretty low. Game seems to fare a little better for two players. I pre-ordered GM ...

Wargame, RPG and Boardgame experience, preferably consumed solo. Monday, March 30, 2015. Dwarfs on the roll. One of my projects at the moment is to play solo some scenarios form One-Hour Wargames book by Neil Thomas, using different rules and armies. Dwarfs moved, killed orcs that did managed to move, then killed troll, then bumped into orc line and send them running. Dwarfs move, orcs stand. Another combat, another orc dead. Troll comes to defend the bridge! Solo wargames and RPG. Tuesday, March 24, 2015.
