Casey 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).
evandro 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.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/

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.
