I think I may have seen Glass Cannon play this on New Game Who Dis? I thought it looked fun but isn’t there like massive heaps of stuff to roll up just to play? Not only your characters whole life so far but like the whole star system? I’ll admit I was intimidated.
I have a copy of Ironsworn but I’ve always thought it was basically solo? I will crack it open, thanks!
Hey I know it’s been a minute. I appreciate all the suggestions! Some of these were already on my radar but no direct experience so, thank you! I’ve decided to grab some of my past 5e characters that I feel I know pretty well, throw together an equivalent in some of these systems, & try to solo them, see what I learn! If anyone wants to recommend good actual plays I’d love it!!? Prefer YouTube over podcast but either will do in a pinch. If I fall in love I’ll definitely come back & share! Happy Gaming!
And more stuff - possibly some teen/preteen players so at least need to have options to tone down / cut out extreme bloody sex horror. Also, I believe in rulesets & settings are separate things. Genre less important to me as fixing the problems I mentioned.
What’s right for me?
I’m looking for a better TTRPG experience. Started with AD&D in satanic panic era, left, came back to 5E a half dozen years ago. Got a great group & GM but some things just don’t suit me. For one, wouldn’t mind being done with Hasbro. My biggest issues in D&D? Character regret, & swinginess. Rolling up a character idea that sounds fun, but in-game always seems to go some completely different direction & now I’ve got an established character everyone depends on but locked into an un-fun stat / ability set. And ALWAYS whatever my concept is I can’t seem to roll for crap in those stats even with the bonuses, failing check after check when it’s the one thing I should be good at. That should only be possible rarely IMHO. Goals: I want above to go away or be much weaker. I want to be able to introduce friends & family who are new & unsure, probably rules light? But I do like dice rolling & some structure, don’t know if a pure storytelling game would work. Can’t be purely abstract. I love a good campaign but also a lot of times just want to be a beer league player, sit down, go to a cave & smash stuff, without needing a complex story to it. Party needs gold, rescue the missing turtle, let’s get swinging. Have thought for a long time about maybe west marches type scenarios. Show up, solve problems, check boxes, bring a new sheet to the next game whenever. Would work great for some of the gang. Not at all adverse to player death. Sorry so long, love to hear opinions!
Was so glad when he re-signed. He’s a prototype. Running the ball might be what he does 3rd best. Huge fan.
No lie, when first round of roster cuts were made, & they were talking about having too much talent at RB, I was asking why don’t we trade CEH & keep one of the guys who really showed up in pre-season that we let go. Glad the coaches knew more than me rn
Rice so nice! Now the most # of touchdowns by a Chief in their Rookie year! LFG!
TBH, no rules expert, but I don’t think it from a late out of bounds hit, but you can’t really ever get away with going head-to-head on a QB. No low tackles, stay away from their head, don’t take more than 2 steps, don’t body them to the ground, etc. I think that’s why it was Unsportsmanlike, but I could be wrong.
Again I want them to prove me wrong but I think we play one playoff game & watch the rest from home.
Man our HC & QB got so much class. Everybody saw the same stuff we did, everyone wants to ask them about it, they roll off of it. I love Andy about Pacheco - got to have more composure, “even when they’re shoving his head in the dirt”. & Patrick saying he wouldn’t ever speak out about folks having fire cause that’s where their game comes from. We ain’t gonna get in trouble talking crap but we got our boys back, too.
Poor officiating all around left a bad taste in the mouth there. Put a taint on the game for both sides AFAIC. All game long the Packers were wrestling, shoving, throwing guys to the ground after the whistle. Never even brought up, by refs, coaches, announcers. Not just a little, more like consistently.Watch the build up to Pacheco’s ejection, our guy had enough of it & fought back - ejected. No need to talk about the non-calls for PI. Pretty obvious to everyone not in stripes. In fact I’m surprised it was ever called at all because they were blatantly indifferent. I didn’t watch closely but I can’t believe as much blitzing as there was that there was almost no holding calls, something that’s usually called heavily. I can’t say we would’ve won or not except for the bad calls / no calls because they just ruined any chance to see what a fair game would be. There should straight up investigate the ref crew.
Considering the PI calls that weren’t made, I’m surprised they called any at all. Seems like it was all open play to the zebras. No talk at all about a couple series earlier when the Chiefs receiver was tackled before the ball was even thrown, ended the drive, Packers go on to score. Hard for me to say one no-call had more impact than the other.
6 points in the first half, average <5 ppg in the second half all season. Statistically, we won’t win this one even if GB never score again. Sure hope the boys prove me wrong.
Damn it where’s my sideline hotline? I seen Jalen all alone in the backfield & yelled watch the QB draw but no one heard me. They sent the blitz & ran right past him.
Silly zebras
Every team the Chiefs play : “The refs favor the Chiefs, it’s ridiculous”. The refs: “Jawaan Taylor”
Maybe we can get big man a different jersey number next game?
