Notepad's Shadowy Opinion on Rangers of Shadowdeep in about 5 Minutes 

From Chainmail we came, and to Chainmail we shall return. There's been a weird spell of skirmish level wargames moonlighting as RPGs or RPG-adjacent games.

I've had a soft spot for retaliatory melee combat ever since Tenra Bansho Zero. It just kinda makes sense that attacking someone with active defenses and messing up horrible might just be worse than not attacking in the first place.

Rangers is one of the few skirmish games I've played, and it may just be my PR autism at play, but it did lend itself to in-character behavior. The skills and special abilities it provides create enough of a character that RP-minded players can inject roleplay into it and I really like it about the game.

Looks like Mcconaughey is at it again. Big fan of true detective... Jokes aside, I don't remember you -unironically- praising a game this much before. I gotto check this one out.

If they made an RPG Mount Rushmore you'd have Gygax, Arneson, Tolkien...and probably Jack Vance

Video on Heart the city beneath???

Unrelated, but this is a newer video. A guy in our group is thinking about getting City of Mist, given the general opinion of PTBA games on this channel, should I be excited?

Will you make more videos about skirmish games like frostgrave?

damn what's the image of the archer getting punched from?

Great video, as always. I like the author's work and enjoy his other projects, but have come to prefer the Five From games more in this "narrative skirmish game" genre.

Positive comment

I like the idea of using both cards and dice in a ttrpg. Do you know of any games that do that well?

Next one: Five Parsecs from Home?

D20 AND a deck of cards? now that's innovation.

I was already sold on this game but hey great to hear you liked it as well

A vaguely RPG Skirmish game sounds like something that would actively tickle my nuts. I shall put this on my wishlist, Cheers Notepad.
