Just found your channel and I gotta say I love your stuff! Awesome minis and awesome betrep! Great work!

how do you have a heavy ranged weapon on your expert? only fighters can get heavy weapons as far as i can see. maby theres somthing im not geting. the expert gets: 1 Medium Melee Weapon 2 Light Melee Weapons Light Armor Professional Tools

Great play through. Interesting system. Thanks for posting the video.

Great game! Love those 15mm figures! Those 1/72 plastics kits would work great too!

Using a spare figure to search the environment and push buttons / pull levers has a similar feel to ICRPG.

Great video. Love watching it eating my morning cereal. At 24:55 you rolled a ten for the wolf. I think you forgot to apply damage to Barker, as you discussed how to use Morale.

Ironically many Falangist get killed and their influenced diminished within Nacional and later Francoist by merging them into FET/JONS (also Falangist is infact anti-monarchist and was Republican with only small section of Falangist that support Monarchy even then its was Heterodox monarchy not conventional monarchy)

Just Remember, "you can't roller skate in a Buffalo Herd".

I I mean chess has done alt act for millennia and it's still going strong 😊

WOW! I'm really tempted to buy this. So much cool history!

Excellent video!! It was a bloody battle! Thanks for posting.

30:13 Peter's Laws of the Sociopathic Obsessive-Compulsive #13. "No" simply means begin again at one level higher.

What are the bases on the figures? Coins? 1¢, 2¢?

Another great video, Jon! I was disappointed, however, that you neglected to mention all of the inroads that Questing Beast has been making in this arena😂😂😂😂😂

Bearded Beer Barrels come out of the swamps AND give up the high ground? Surely, they are Goblins pretending to be Dwarves! Havoc forces had every advantage from the start. Swap deployment zones and the Dwarves might have had a fighting chance 🤔

Good analysis. There are some points you can't come up with yourself. I wouldn't be risky enough to place all the objectives before one of the zones. 😗

Great channel, and by the way you have a fantastic speaking voice. Do you work as a public speaker in any capacity?

Looking great sir

Looks like an interesting game. I picked up the digital copy because of your videos covering it. Simple combat system but with some interesting depth of play. Thanks for the videos.

typo in the URL for four-colorstudios. Nice find though!

Another great video. Looks even more interesting. Looking forward to the play report. Thank you.

Thank you as always for this! It's fun to watch other folks play my games and see things from different angles. If anyone has questions, I am here!

Have you tried advanced fighting fantasy 2nd edition?

25:53 Intro 😅

I must be missing something here. The get along gang, the conventional players. We have long campaigns. What Jeffro is showing are short campaigns. A long campaign is always going to be superior to something short and intense. As well he is mischaracterizing Traveller systems and characters. You can infer a tremendous amount from the lifepath system and the system generation has a lot of information present as well. Especially with the LL, tech level, starport level, what the world has to export and the patrons available. But this is so he can have "manned" NPCs. You would need prep otherwise. If you just make stuff up, then why even bother with a UWP?

Quite a few mistakes. You kept forgetting the Semi-Auto and Auto fire maluses and I dont think (when you did remember) you applied the malus to each shot; so for example if the to-hit was say 60% on full auto, the first shot would be (-10%) 50%, the 2nd shot would be (-20%) 40%, 3rd shot (-30%) 30%, etc.

Ah yes, this would become the incomplete 'Confrontation' in Games Workshop's White Dwarf in the early 90's before Ansell was ousted.

Competetive games need to settle on rules to resolve conflict. The issue seems to be that this sterile environment of adjudicating "when this guy attacked the other guy with a sword, who won?" Bleeds into the rest of the experience. The whole game should be freeform social political intrigue, because that is what humans are best at. But we need this nugget of souless machinery, the rigid rules the resolve the most critical moments of conflict. It seems to me your real enemy here is the human urge to allow that sterile conflict resolution engine to interfere with the freeform social mimicry that we roleplay through. If you look at tsr catalog as an exploration of different genres and their potential conflict resolutions, with an assumed freeform human centric social game as the default, they all make a lot more sense.

@21:22 The power to say “no” and walk away or clamp down on counter-genre content. This is probably one of the best pieces of advice here. I wish more DMs and players would exercise this more often (including myself) instead of giving into a fear of ostracism, or FOMO, or hoping a campaign would get better, or a hoping a player will change, etc.

My biggest objection to simply handing campaign factions off to the session players is that it reduces the fog of War and the aura of mystery that players appreciate. Yes, it can add dynamism to otherwise static factions, but at the same time you take away the sense of mystery and the thrill of discovery when the players find out what these factions are doing organically. If one of the session players is in charge of the goblin faction, and he is setting up for an invasion of the homebase village, he won't be able to fully participate. When the player has that sort of extra knowledge, which the character wouldn't have, it removes the tension the situation would otherwise have for the players. How can a player fully experience the danger and tension of a goblin invasion if they are the ones in charge of planning said invasion? The role of antagonistic faction player needs to be held by a patron/downtime player outside of session play. I suspect the solution is to only give factions to the session players which would not naturally be antagonistic to the session players themselves. I can see a way for session players to run factions that may be allied with the session players, but are antagonistic toward each other, ie, the various allied factions have competing objectives. In this format it would be easier to maintain fog of war with enemies, and regulate meta knowledge of allied activities through the player grading system. I'll be starting an experiment with this format next month in the Sojenka campaign.

I commend you for keeping Jeffro on track, Jon. I think you're right, that the defining difference to conventional play is PVP. Because all other tools are, as you've rightly pointed out, there to facilitate PVP and level the playing field. You need 1:1 time and RAW to maximise the potential of PVP.

I'm watching this while bench-pressing.

Double Js in the house -- Jon & Jeffro. Giving the best discussion of the Braunstein and the future of the Braunstein since, well, ever.

I prefer campaign play, even in solo games... but if you already have difficulty finding five people to play 1st Edition AD&D, Traveler, or Car Wars GURPS with; beggars can't be choosers over real-time or not. I'm playing a solo campaign because I can't find 1st Edition AD&D players who will get together in person.

I have a hypothesis about the Gangbusters RPG -- it was explicitly designed as both a Braunstein and as an always on Braunstein. First, that each character class has distinctly different means of gaining XP puts the characters automatically at cross purposes -- there is little incentive to be get along gang. Second, the campaign rules are simple 1) each character writes an order detailing their actions for the week; and then 2) each day's orders are methodically worked through during session. But if you take a 1 week order and 1session per week, well that's an always on Braunstein in 1:1 time.

Really good step-by-step instructions for gradually introducing these concepts from the ground up, beginning at 1:06:14 (#ThankyouJeffro) 0. Modules, Learn Rules 2. Sandbox, Player Autonomy 3. 1:1 Time, Living World 4. Multiple Parties, Concurrent Actions ... Domain Level Factions 8. Single Session Braunstein 11. Total Nonstop Braunstein

That jawline looking good, keep up the hard work.

Aw man, just missed the stream. Welp, time to watch from the beginning.

rematch!
