Definitely checking out the new T&T and whilst some of that is nostalgia, a large part is your good self being involved. Ignore the haters!

A futuristic armoured warrior with a missile boom gun faces off to OGRE a highly sophisticated tank lifeform KAAA-BOOOM!

Thanks folks, though I sure someone mentioned Ogre next time...

The Spirit of Car Wars lives on in @jonac.bsky.social firing at every opportunity, attacking everyone & thing, smashing into the arena walls, sideswiping and ramming all and sundry, first to spin out and a noble death at the end!

Honestly, I was quite nervous running this, so thanks to all of you!

😁 I think you win for the most damage inflicted and you had some rotten dice rolls... I was pretty lenient with the ramming rolls, apparently they should have been around 6d6 each time 💥

Thanks Jim, I must say it was made all the easier by such enthusiastic players and bystanders.

I think I can only remember one that hit, and most cars had at least two.

This new post apocalypse #TTRPG seems a bit of a downer!

Yep, Classic Car Wars rules, with a few homebrews thrown in when the maths got too hard, but used my original blister pack and tokens from the 1980s.

Clown Fist, a Troika NPC

Even though we only played the first scene, and then jumped into a Car Wars combats, we had fun creating some Troika villains for this game, ahem 😳

Each turn was 1 second, each turn was broken out into 5 phases, 1/5 second each. I know in older Classic Car Wars versions, i.e. the blister box I have it's 10 phases, but still 1 second a turn, so got the game moving a bit faster.

Hmm, not sure we used car wars classic rules in the main 1 turn with 5 phases, I'm sure we did around 20 turns, I'll have to look up what that equates to...

Always nice to meet a tube pattern connoisseur! It is indeed the met line.

It did speed up, I couldn't grok the ramming rules so made up a new rule rule roll 3d6 for damage or roll a d6 and then roll that number of dice of damage.

Arena with 4 $15,000 cars took a couple of hours plus change. 1 car with no tyres, 1 car with a blow power plant 1 car totalled, driver dead.

😆

Darn, beat me to it 😆

Cocaine Bear was a blast, but this latest movie in the franchise looks like it doesn't have legs.

Episode 688: Earthquake Marriage « Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff

New KEN AND ROBIN TALK ABOUT STUFF podcast episode drops, feat. creating a PAGE TURNERS protagonist, architect Julia Morgan, @moltensulfur.bsky.social on BALLAD HUNTERS, and Sam Phillips brokers peace with Castro! www.kenandrobintalkaboutstuff.com/index.php/ep...

We kept saying the same thing, did we really play this game as kids? It seemed so complex and mathematical. But we had a blast guffawing at failed rolls, fists slamming the table and the final triumph as a manoeuvre comes off or a Vulcan machine gun finally chews through the armour.

Memorable! I forgot how competitive people get with Car Wars 😆

Just about did one combat between 4 in 3 hours.

Much appreciated the scenario you shared, reality struck though and a $15,000 arena car combat and relearning the esoteric rules meant 3 hours whizzed by with only a smattering of roleplay, but a great deal of fun.

A fantastic time at #GrogLove my Troika / Car Wars hack turned into 30min of Troika and 3 hours of a single Car Wars combat, we didn't even have time for scene! Very enjoyable all the same.

#GrogLove

10am to 6pm #ttrpg gaming awaits - Vaesen, Troika and mini Car Wars at Brewdog Chancery Lane.

Looking forward to catching up with folk and seeing how a hastily cobbled together scenario with an uber crunchy tactical combat game, with oodles of fiddly counters, works.

Dog walking listening, very enjoyable rambles. Loved the enthusiastic Ballad Hunters discussion with Tristan, but sad there were wasn't a tuneful duet mid interview.

Ken and Robin talk creating protagonists for Page Turners, architect Julia Taylor, Ballad Hunters with @moltensulfur.bsky.social, and Sam Phillips' Cuba diplomacy.

It's time for another Tunnels & Trolls: A New Age thread. This time we're talking character creation. Got those six-siders to hand? 🧵
