[shopping] Temptation waits... what are you resisting?

I think the name is pretty terrible in terms of appeal to a wider boardgame audience. In fact the whole theme is sufficiently niche even within Traveller that even a lot of Traveller fans are not going to be grabbed by it.

Mythmere are converting their Tome of Adventure Design to a digital format. It’s tempting…

This also tempts me, but (1) do I really need more Mothership? And (2) what level do I back it at if I do?

I’m still awaiting the 1.0 box set for Mothership. In my heart, I see it as a modern Traveller take, but I do love reading all the crazy ideas.

I see COHORS CVTHLV has gone live. I'm actually tempted after what I saw in Achtung! Cthulhu...

Tempted because this is a classic system, but worried it will deliver only by 2024 ending, so most likely 2025. Plus, the Players book alone is over 500 pages alone, and then there is a GM and also Monsters book.

Adventurer Conqueror King System Imperial Imprint (ACKS II) Kickstarter

https://www.kickstarter.com/project...onqueror-king-system-imperial-imprint-acks-ii

Built on more than 12 years of playtesting and hundreds of hours of methodical research and development, ACKS II is a three-volume D20 fantasy RPG with comprehensive mechanics that create a living, breathing world -- one in which the rules function as natural laws, and players are endowed with the agency only objective mechanics can provide.

I'm not close to the issues, but a further complication might be the creators highly problematic stance on a number of fronts.

Tempted by the paperback, or possibly even the hardback, of Retro Sci-Fi rules, another iteration of a certain venerable 2D6 based science fiction rpg.

Not sure I need another Traveller based game, although the prospect of streamlined ship combat is quite appealing.

I have just resisted adding the Eriador cloth map to my pledge for Moria, mainly as I decided that if I was going to do this then I would get a PVC print of the pdf from Pixel2Print. Mainly because of spills.

I did get the Moria map, mainly as it feels like it should be a treasure map.

I am currently resisting a TSR Alternity bundle, as there is a prospect that I will be getting some actual play of it.

Or you get two, like I was fortunate to get my second Conan silk map at just 10 quid from Rita Birch of Modiphus at UKGE.

I was tempted temporarily but not enough by his 2d20 game, despite that meme about The Roman Empire in all our thoughts, right?

Guvnor · Oct 29, 2023

It tempts me as a Roman Empire game. Less bothered by the compulsory Cthulhu.

First Age · Oct 30, 2023

Guvnor said:

This. I think the Cthulhu aspect will consume too much of the game's energy.

Guvnor · Oct 30, 2023

First Age said:

And therefore.. using Jackals or Mythras or Paul Eliot's 43AD might be better from the very wide range of normal sources and materials.

Dom · Oct 30, 2023

It’s the same overall background as Achtung! Cthulhu. This time the creatures are manifesting as monsters at the frontiers of empire. No doubt there will be some Atlantean / Hyperborean interlinkage too. They actually gave out a lot of the backstory in updates.

This isn't new, but I'm upgradng to 2D paper miniatures for face to face and convention play. Tempting indeed.

Awesome 2D mini set box from acclaimed Printable heroes, 800 standee miniatures. Very suitable for Dragonbane!

Paizo calls these "pawns" and real space savers over traditional D&D sculpted minis.

I think it is sweet that I think I'll get a lot of face to face play.

If in Sheffie like Forbidden Lands, you just might.
