X Rounds of Combat

Day 6 - ANCIENT It was supposed to be a longer post but it is my mother's birthday so we went to Capilano Suspension Bridge which is kind of in an ancient forest, so there. Sword and sorcery games and settings I like ancient cultures and ancient settings as opposed to pseudo-medievalisms of D&D and Warhammer. As it has become tradition here is a podcast recommendation on ancient cultures - Ancient World by Scott C. My favourite games and settings are as follows: Robert E. Howard's Conan: Adventures in an age undreamed of Relatively new game from Modiphius, based on writings by Robert E Howard more than his followers. Co-written by Jason Durall, based on a very cinematic 2d20 system, with a free quickstart available. Conan not the Governator Primeval Thule I know the least about this one but it is set in an ancient pre-history, 5e based, mostly human centric, magic is dark, twisted and evil. What more do you want? Sword & sorcery 5e ...

Day 3 - ENGAGE This could have been a very different post about something else. But then the trailer for " Star Trek: Picard " came out. "Engage!" - Picard, Jean-Luc, every time he wants the pilot to engage Most of my life I played various fantasy games. Then, last year, I played Star Trek Adventures from Modiphius once as a Denobulan engineer. I barely knew what I was doing, didn't know the 2d20 system very well, only from reading a  quickstart for Robert E. Howard’s Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of . I had a blast! Conclusion? Play different games. ENGAGE with them so to speak.
