[Character Creation] MechWarrior: Destiny
Welcome to the BattleTech universe.
What will you be within it? MechWarrior, non-Mech pilot, mechanic, or something else?
The universe is wide open for you to be just about any character you can think of.
One of the recommendations in the book for mission ideas is checking out the various fiction from over the years and looking for something that is barely mentioned and ultimately left unexplored. It's a starting point, at least. Understanding how the various factions operate and what they have to do to remain operational and clear corruption from their ranks might be the start of another story.

[Pillar Talk] Movie DVD collection
มุมมอง 1412 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Featuring my collection of movies on DVD and talking about each one. If I had to talk about movies I've seen but not yet or no longer own a physical disc for, the video would be much longer; I remember when I'd get movies from Hollywood Video or the library just out of curiosity and watch them. Early on, I say DVDs and blu-rays, but none of the blu-rays I do have are for live action movies, ins...

Run around, grab stuff, use it to fight your opponents or survive their onslaught to strike back, and score 3 frags to win. Play multiple games to improve your stats over the long term until your character is too powerful for your opponents to continue trying against.

The family game of cards and trains gets a new set of challenges in a new setting. Take a chance on tunnels, save locomotives for ferries, and use train stations to get around an opponent in your way. Will you go for the European Express by making the longest route? Will you succeed with your secret big route? And will you have the most points at the end? I missed, I think, one rule: if the pub...

[Character Creation] Advanced Dungeons & Dragons
มุมมอง 4714 วันที่ผ่านมา
The core of the fantasy roleplaying game, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, for use on its own or with other books to explore new settings and challenges. I wouldn't normally go out of my way for a D&D book, but this just happened to be at a bookstore where I was visiting with my Mom and I figured "why not? Maybe it's a really lucky find." If you have any favorite memories of this game, or settings ...

  • @geomax3465
    @geomax3465 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

    You got the mechanics, now you need to create the world. Maybe a name like "Steel Knights" (I thinks is already used it 🙄) or "Steel Legends" so you do not use the word "mech" and "quarriors" from other games. And then, the things you draw in the video, put them on a piece of paper or cardboard and play, and with a bit of luck, you will have your game in no time. 😉

    Hello Pillar!... You sound like SH*T! 🤣... Keep it together buddy. Very hard to understand some of the audio, but that aside, You need to take the measurements of your bedroom and just draw a better or desired lay-out and then, little by little work on that. One step at a time and before you notice, you will build the best man-cave you can own. On the matter of Jobs, well... we are on the same train, so, i think patience is the best companion in this situation. Save money, take care of your space, let the fresh air run through your home and better things will come. Take care Pillar! 😌

    Nice video Pillar! 😌👍 If you allow me to give you my view and advise (I'am not Mike Elliott 😄) it will be, that the last thing you create in any product like a card game or video game is the characters and looks of it. The first thing you do, is creating The World or Universe in which everything, including the mechanics of the game, is gonna come to exist. The characters, the looks, the backstory, their adventures or missions and every single details that come later it will be, let's say, the consequences, developments or destiny of those particulars characters living inside that particular world or universe. Anyway, I hope that help you a little. Keep it up! and take care. 😉

  • @geomax3465

    Nice video!... But if i had to choose, well... any faction is good as long are not Eldars, Chaos or Orks. Don't like Xenos 😄... But play as you like. Is all good. 😌

    • @pillarnexustheancientgladiator
      @pillarnexustheancientgladiator หลายเดือนก่อน

      not Xenos leaves Marines and Imp. Guard, and technically Chaos. Honestly, I've never enjoyed the human factions as much as the non-human in my 40K era, but maybe this game's approach will encourage me to try later on.

    @pillarnexustheancientgladiator 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    per the EVE university wiki: Q: Can an alpha account participate in PI? A: No. Previously, an Alpha clone could technically plant a single Command Center, which could not be upgraded beyond level 0 and so had almost no CPU/PWG space with which to place production facilities and had no way of getting products off planet as you had to be Omega to launch from a Command Center. As of January, 2022, this has been removed. I think covering the absolute basics still matters, but the fact that Alpha clones can't participate means this is not as helpful as I'd like. Can't even scan without Remote Sensing and that requires Omega. I will have to be better in my research going forward.

    • @pillarnexustheancientgladiator
      @pillarnexustheancientgladiator 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for checking out the video and commenting, really appreciate it. Having picked up some booster boxes, it remains frustrating in that regard in trying to get the fifth faction's chips. It's also a little baffling that they left out relics outside of promotional/tournament materials. That said, I think it's an interesting idea that could be brought back as a stand-alone set rather than collectible components from boosters.

    Just past the 13:00 mark: regarding having a ship that could carry other ships, the one for Minmatar is the Wreathe, which can stack Expanded Cargoholds for carrying 2 small ships or a slightly bigger ship. You'll get it in the process of working for industrial agents.

    Eve online is a great game, work your way up from Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, Battlecruisers, Battleships, Carriers, Dreadnaughts, Supercarriers, and Titans. Not to forget your mining ships, completely player created and driven markets. It's not a game you will conquer quickly.

      "For Glory" for adding all the new stuff, and "Missions" for adding an interesting twist in strategy. "The King" is something to try at least once and figure out if your play group enjoys an endgame scenario like that, but it tends get left out with the group at the store here.

    In hindsight, giving each deck a card better suited to the other might be trying to send the message "hey, this is a TRADING card game, you should try trading this card for the other." They probably realized it wasn't for the best by the time Distortion released. Strategy I missed includes: when sending monsters, generally you want to send just enough to weaken or eliminate each of their PCs, then go full force while the opponent has no defense; you can only score one monster from a PC fight, but you can score them all if there are no PCs. A selling point I missed completely was the lack of need for counters and outside information tracking; if you need to know it, it's on the cards or you can just count for the moment (strength + action + destiny.) Another is not needing a separate mana/energy/gold development system to play cards; you might have to spot or sacrifice or discard, but anything that can count for that will do so. Distortion, the next set, adds a few interesting bits, too. Goblin items add a bonus +1 for every two a PC has. Speed items let players play actions that affect the PC from hand instead of hidden. PCs can be logged out and have to log back in to be vulnerable but also to fight back. A PC is considered of their element based on equipment and actions played on them this turn (which matters mostly for Sanjuro who is stronger against opposing elements.)
