"Crunchy rules or simple vibes? Political intrigue or straight-up dungeon brawls? Survival in a dying world or low-power fantasy feels?" The latest RPGBOT.Podcast dives into everything you love (and fear) about tabletop RPGs that aren't D&D or Pathfinder. From decision trees to help you find your perfect game match, to the storytelling magic of Powered by the Apocalypse, and the chaotic survival of Mork Borg, there's something for everyone if you're willing to look past what you already know. Tune in if you've ever wondered, "Is my game too crunchy, or am I just lazy?" Summary In this episode, the hosts take a deep dive into the diverse landscape of tabletop RPGs, offering a wealth of insights into various systems, mechanics, and themes. They introduce the concept of decision trees, a practical tool to help players identify RPGs that align with their preferences. The discussion covers the spectrum of complexity, from the intricate 'crunch' of detailed systems to the simplicity of more streamlined games. Key highlights include: The Cypher System and Genesis: An exploration of these versatile systems, focusing on their mechanics and adaptability to different genres. Powered by the Apocalypse Framework: A look at its elegant simplicity and flexibility, making it an excellent choice for narrative-driven campaigns. Legend of the Five Rings vs. Adventures in Rokugan: A comparison of political intrigue-focused gameplay with combat-centric mechanics, illustrating the range of experiences within fantasy RPGs. Mörk Borg: An examination of its dark, nihilistic themes, where traditional heroism gives way to survival in a grim and decaying world. The conversation also ventures into niche areas, such as the unique storytelling potential of solo RPGs, and highlights specific systems like Numenera, with its futuristic exploration themes, and One Ring 2E, celebrated for its low-power fantasy and rich Tolkien-inspired lore. The hosts emphasize the importance of understanding a game's mechanics and setting realistic expectations to maximize the enjoyment of any RPG experience.

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 2, 2024 69:47

In the latest RPGBOT.Podcast we dive deep into lingering injuries in TTRPGs, exploring how they enhance character development and gameplay comparing injury systems across D&D 5E, Pathfinder, Star Wars RPG, Vaesen, Warhammer 40k, and more! Whether you're a GM or a player, this episode is packed with ideas for adding depth and consequence to your games. Episode Summary In this episode, the RPGBOT.Podcast hosts engage in a reflective and insightful discussion on two key topics. First, they address past comments made about the OSR (Old-School Renaissance) community, acknowledging missteps and celebrating the positive progress within the community. This segment sets the stage for a deep dive into injury systems across various tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs). The hosts explore how lingering injuries add depth, consequences, and narrative weight to TTRPGs. Drawing comparisons across multiple systems—including D&D 5E, Tales of the Valiant, Pathfinder 1st Edition, Fantasy Flight's Star Wars RPG, Imperium Maledictum, and Vaesen—the episode offers a comprehensive look at how injuries are implemented, their impact on gameplay, and how to homebrew these mechanics to enhance immersion. Key Discussion Points Reflecting on the OSR Community Acknowledging and learning from past comments. Highlighting positive strides in inclusivity and creativity within the OSR space. Lingering Injuries in TTRPGs Exploring the narrative and mechanical value of injury systems. Examining how injuries can influence character development and roleplay depth. The importance of tailoring injury mechanics through homebrewing. System Spotlights: Injury Mechanics D&D 5E and Tales of the Valiant Discussing strengths and limitations of injury mechanics in these systems. Suggestions for homebrewed injury rules to increase immersion. Pathfinder 1st Edition Delving into critical hits and the brutal consequences for characters. Evaluating how the system balances risk and reward. Fantasy Flight's Star Wars RPG Analyzing its unique injury system and comparing it to Pathfinder. Highlighting the narrative flavor of lingering injuries in Star Wars settings. Imperium Maledictum (Warhammer 40k) Examining the grim nature of injuries and high character mortality rates. How injuries contribute to the dark, oppressive atmosphere of Warhammer 40k. Vaesen Exploring how physical and mental injuries are treated equally. Understanding defects and insights as gameplay mechanics. Comparing Vaesen's system to others and identifying its strengths and weaknesses. Narrative and Gameplay Impact of Injuries How injury systems enhance storytelling and player immersion. Balancing mechanics and narrative to avoid punishing players unfairly. The hosts reflect on the versatility and potential of injury systems in TTRPGs to create meaningful, memorable gameplay moments. They also emphasize the importance of community dialogue and mutual understanding to foster growth within the tabletop gaming community.

Injuries enhance storytelling by introducing consequences that impact character arcs. Injury mechanics can lead to compelling story elements, such as finding a high-level wizard or integrating prosthetics in grim settings like Warhammer 40k. Mechanical Implications of Injuries Injuries should have tangible mechanical impacts beyond reducing hit points, addressing the arbitrariness of HP systems. Systems like Tales of the Valiant and Pathfinder 1 demonstrate how injuries can influence gameplay, from critical hits to debilitating conditions like Con Drain. Intelligence bleed and other mechanics can deeply affect a character's abilities and decision-making. Homebrewing and Session Zero Homebrewing injury systems can add depth and immersion, tailoring gameplay to group preferences. Discussing injury mechanics during session zero ensures clarity and sets expectations for how they'll impact the campaign. System Highlights and Comparisons Pathfinder 1: The critical hit deck introduces brutal, game-changing effects. Fantasy Flight Star Wars: A unique injury system creates tension, with critical injuries leading to severe consequences. Imperium Maledictum: Highlights character fragility and permanent changes in the Warhammer 40k universe. Vaesen: Balances physical and mental injuries, introducing defects (GM-driven challenges) and insights (player-driven advantages) that affect gameplay. Player Agency and Risk Management Injury systems work best when integrated into core mechanics, balancing risk and reward. Players can strategically leverage mechanics like insights in Vaesen for maximum effect, creating dynamic gameplay moments. Campaign Considerations Starting at higher levels can mitigate the harshness of injuries early in a campaign. Accumulating defects or lingering effects can foster interesting character development and party dynamics. Game Design and Immersion A well-designed injury system enhances both gameplay and immersion, reflecting the stakes of adventuring. Comparative analysis of systems reveals diverse approaches to integrating injury mechanics, showing the breadth of possibilities in RPG design.

Talked about many times, my Breakfast Pack Co-Host and Card Squadron winger Gregory ‘Gains Bounty' Cass from @eyeoncanon returns to talk about Fantasy Flight Game's foray back into the world of TCG's - STAR WARS UNLIMITED. Greg recently hosted a sealed draft night and returns to the podcast to tell the tales and talk about our thoughts on the game. Plus we have extra special guests -the first is one half of the long running Podcast, THE WAMPA's LAIR, Karl ‘Fell the Dragon' LaClair is here and our panel rounds out with friend of the show and Google Sheet extraordinaire Ben ‘Epic Action' Brophy aka @zenkenobi In late 2023 Fantasy Flight games, no stranger to Star Wars card games, released Star Wars Unlimited, a new collectible card game that pits two or more players in combat to see who can outwit and outlast the other. Chosing a Leader and a base, players build decks around different aspects and square off against each other using ground and space units, upgrades, events bounties and smuggling in attempt to destroy their opponent's base. Each round, players draw cards, add resources to play more powerful cards, counter their opponents moves and ready leaders to turn the tide of the game. Since this is a collectible card game like Magic, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, you can begin with a starter deck and build decks of your own through booster packs and boxes. Stores can host events with special pack giveaways and major conventions across the U.S. have seen event exclusives which lure collectors in droves. The first set, Spark of the Rebellion quickly became popular and hard to find soon after its release. The second set, Shadows of the Galaxy has explained the gameplay somewhat, and has helped sustain the game's popularity. FFG did put out a roadmap earlier and announced their development schedule which puts about 3 sets or seasons out per year. In November we will return to the prequels with ‘Twilight of the Republic. In 2025 the three sets announced are Jump to Lightspeed, Legends of the Force, and Secrets of Power.

Star Wars Cantina Chronicles Episode 52 - Unlimited Power This week, we are joined by our good friend Jason for a chat about Fantasy Flight's wildly exciting trading card game, Star Wars Unlimited! After sharing our thoughts about the game in the six months since its release and exploring our predictions for leader cards in the upcoming set, Twilight of the Republic, we switch hyperlanes to discuss a topic that's always on our minds, The Force. We discuss how it has been utilized in the canon thus far, the broad spectrum of Force powers, and how Rey Skywalker can reinvent the Jedi Order to allow attachment, instill selflessness and limit lightsabers to a deserved few to restore a sense of sacredness to the weapon of a Jedi Knight.

After light-years away from the airwaves, the Order 66 Podcast returns with a new vigor, a new mission, and a set of gaming goals in a galaxy far, far away. GM Chris and GM Phil prepare to launch a series of new episodes all about building a brand new era and setting in the Star Wars universe: The Fractured Republic. This episode sets the stage with a lengthy and deeply passionate discussion of the eras of Star Wars, the themes that game masters and players should think about and embrace for each era, and then sees the hosts bring these themes to task as the first step in defining the timeline and storytelling goals of the new Fractured Republic setting. We also answer some excellent listener questions, and spend a fair bit of time in post-show discussion on everything from The Acolyte teaser to a spoiler-filled review of the Fallout series.

He didn't do a video on the game on his channel (https://www.youtube.com/@WatchItPlayed), but he DID appear on BoardGameGeek.com's channel for their “game night” series here: https://youtu.be/bBk_jSE4Bf8. The video is a full playthrough of the first adventure with explanations along the way so it gives a lot of the same information but obviously contains spoilers for the first adventure. Similarly, the Dice Tower channel had a live play session here: https://www.youtube.com/live/JVh0M-fSWqo?feature=share. It doesn't do as much detailed explanations of the rules and mechanics but it's for the first adventure of an expansion campaign, so the spoilers won't be as significant unless you know you're going to get that expansion soon.

Blood Bowl Team Manager

Games from the Cellar

This week, the panel tackles Blood Bowl Team Manager: the Card Game. Blood Bowl Team Manager, designed by Jay Little and Corey Konieczka, was first published by Fantasy Flight Games in 2011. In 2012, Blood Bowl Team Manager was nominated for two BoardGameGeek Golden Geek Awards, Best Card Game, and Best Thematic Board Game. Episode Summary: In this episode, we explore Blood Bowl Team Manager: the Card Game, a two to four-player light-weight game. We discuss the strategy of the game and how to manage the zones of control (called Highlights and Tournaments). We also explore the game's ability to provide a great experience for any player count, even the odd count. We then move on to exploring card game complexity, the balance between factions, and production. Overall, this episode provides an in-depth look at how Blood Bowl Team Manager plays and our experience with it. Visit our Website and join the conversation on Discord. Chapters: (0:01:18) - Introducing Blood Bowl Team Manager (0:12:32) - The Joy of Blood Bowl (0:17:32) - Exploring the Design Complexity of Blood Bowl Team Manager(0:32:09) - A Brutal Balancing Act (0:41:48) - Polished Game Design at Fantasy Flight (0:53:54) - Two-Minute Warning Chapter Summaries: (0:01:18) - Introducing Blood Bowl Team Manager (11 Minutes) The game features a number of zones of control (based on player count) called highlights and tournaments. Players must use their star power and player abilities to control these zones to earn points and upgrades. There is a secondary fight over control of the ball token, worth additional star power. Cheating tokens can also be used to gain points and fans, which are the victory points of the game. They can also result in a player's ejection from the highlight, negating their star power. After a round is played and points are tallied, upgrades such as star players, team upgrades, and staff upgrades can be drafted to add to each player's team. (0:12:32) - The Joy of Blood Bowl (5 Minutes) The panel discusses the game Blood Bowl Team Manager and how it is a great game for three players, in addition to even player counts. They discuss the levity of the game, as well as its comedic art, and the fact that there is just enough dice-rolling involved. There is also a deck-building aspect where players can collect new players and ways to manipulate their deck. We discussed our own experience playing the game and found it to be a tight game with a small playing field, allowing players to see all their options. Overall, we found it to be a great game and enjoyed playing it (0:17:32) - Exploring the Design Complexity of Blood Bowl Team Manager (15 Minutes) The panel dives into the complexity of designing a card game with a football theme. Each player essentially has the same amount of resources and has the opportunity to (mostly) play to equal Highlights zones. Players earn the opportunity to earn many upgrade cards during a round, however, each player can only keep one of each upgrade at the end of each round. It is possible to have up to five of each upgrade by the end of the game. (0:32:09) - A Brutal Balancing Act (10 Minutes) We discuss the various symbols used in a game of Blood Bowl Team Manager. The panel discussed how the different teams interact with the symbols differently. For example, Dwarves don't interact with the Sprint symbol and Skaven interact with Cheating symbols. The Wood Elves were discussed in more detail, as they are passers and have an easy-to-remember symbol for throwing, which is a football. The conversation highlighted how the symbols are easy to remember as they have their analog in the other game pieces. The panel further explored the teams of Elves, Dwarves, and Skaven. It was noted that the elves have the ability to draw multiple cards and discard weaker cards, while the dwarves have a star power advantage and the Skaven are a bit more well-rounded, Jacks-of-all-Trades. It was further discussed that the difference between standing and tackled star power is a balancing mechanic used to make sure each faction has its own strengths and weaknesses. Ultimately, we concluded that the game was well-designed in terms of thematics and gameplay. (0:41:48) - Polished Game Design at Fantasy Flight (12 Minutes) The panel discusses the well-balanced design of Blood Bowl Team Manager, a card game released in 2011 by Fantasy Flight Games. We compare the level of polish of the game to other Fantasy Flight games produced during the same time period. We also discuss the level of development that went into the game, referencing the two game designers, producer, editor, production management, executive producer, and staff playtesters. The conversation also touches on the differences between the production cycle of Kickstarter games and games produced by established companies, with the latter typically having more time and resources to refine the game. (0:53:54) - Two-Minute Warning (6 Minutes) The panel sums up its thoughts on Blood Bowl Team Manager: the Card Game. We share our experience playing it and our opinions of the game. The game was on the trade pile due to the difficulty of getting back to playing older games amidst all the new ones. It was described as polished, well-developed, and with a lot of playtesting and feedback given. The panel was pleasantly surprised to find the game in the collection, and we were happy to be able to play it again and relearn it. Shownotes created with assistance from https://podium.page
