This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Casey! Just a few days ago, I read the review here: https://armymenwargaming.wordpress.com/2016/06/17/review-one-hour-wargames-by-neil-thomas/
ReplyDeleteThis sentence made me curious to see more of the book: The real treasures in this book are the scenarios, which are not only adaptable to any historical period, but to other games, as well
Yeah, I am not very good with scenarios, so that's a big draw.
ReplyDeleteCasey G. A while ago I bought 5 Parsec From home and it does have a simple set of tables to generate scenarios with different goals. I hope to give that scenario generation system a try soon (possibly using Warstuff to play the scenario).
ReplyDeleteevandro novel you can read as much of One Hour Wargames as you want on the Google Play books preview. I think it's worth a purchase. It really reduces all the roll to hit, roll to damage, roll to save etc. down to one simple d6 roll. I'm pretty convinced that this sort of game is not only fast, but would provide satisfying results too.
ReplyDeleteDaniel Davis this is the Into the Odd of Wargames.
ReplyDeleteCasey G. Just bought the book. I am looking forward to read the scenario section and I will also have a look at the rest :)
