Podcasts about mass combat

Today we are talking all about mass combat rules! There are currently no rules in 5th Ed D&D that handle combat between 5000 participants on either side, and I had hoped that with the release of Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen, we would have been given a hint of what to do. However, mass combat was addressed with the Warriors of Krynn boardgame - something that the creators had to do, but something that I didn't quite love. So I created a different mass combat system to combat this problem - I personally believe it's a great fix but perhaps you will disagree? Take a listen and tell me what you think!  Join the weekly live podcast recording on the Great GM Discord server - every Tuesday at 5pm BST. Join here: https://discord.gg/hdWecCYbaW

We continue the dive into the Talislanta RPG. I will (eventually) cover all six free editions. The goal is to give you, the listener, an idea of the Talislanta system, the world of Talislanta (No Elves!!), and my thoughts as I read through the main books of the Talislanta RPG. The subject of this podcast is the "Talislanta Handbook and Campaign Guide, 2nd Edition". Herein are the rules for 2nd Edition. The book is bigger, does that mean better? Part 3 goes over Chapters 6 through 8; Campaign Guide, GameMasters Guide, and Mass Combat. This looks interesting but is it promising? If you are looking for copies of the Talislanta books, they are free. Go to http://talislanta.com/talislanta-library Logo artwork is from the hand of Minion Bravo!

Dungeons and Dragons had their origins in wargaming.  It was a supplement to the chain mail rules and not a stand-alone game so it makes sense to include some rules for mass combat.  Back in the day, we had “The Battle System”, a D&D supplement that gave us rules for mass combat.  Today, we have Unearthed Arcana's version of that system. Links to the UA Mass Combat are listed below https://dnd.wizards.com/articles/unearthed-arcana/mass-combat https://media.wizards.com/2017/dnd/downloads/2017_UAMassCombat_MCUA_v1.pdf   Tell us what you think about this episode and gaming in general.

Most DMs come to a point in their campaigns where they want to run The Big Battle. We're not talking the players vs. a few Balors, but a real war: Storming the beaches of a fantasy Normandy, the Siege of Winterfell, the Battle of Pelennor Fields from Lord of the Rings. But when you go to set the battle up, you realize just how clunky mass combat is in D&D and most RPGs. The problem is, most RPGs are skirmish-level games, especially D&D. That means they run well with up to about 20 characters in a battle. Beyond that, things slow down and there aren't good ways to simulate the battle. So, you wind up having to homebrew or adapt some kind of mass combat ruleset, but these don't always work out, either. Most mass combat expansions for D&D, for example, are basically fantasy wargames, and your players may not be up for D&D night turning into Warhammer 1100 AD. A reader question inspired us to take it on: What do you do when you want your players to fight 300 zombies? In this episode, Thorin, Tony and Dave answer that and more as they break down what happens when DMs go to war. 1:00 A reader question: How would you handle a battle with 300 zombies? 2:00 Why mass combat is and always has been clunky in D&D 6:00 Mass combat is basically opposed to what any edition of D&D is designed to do 9:00 3 basic ways to handle mass combat: • Skill challenge • Dynasty Warriors • War games 13:00 D&D mass combat rules releases of the past (were still clunky) 14:00 What makes a combat “mass”? A dozen characters? Hundreds? Thousands? 17:00 5E How D&D characters change the way wars are fought 19:00 Slipping on dead bodies, siege engines, Oliphaunts! How mass combat and the chaos of war should change how D&D characters are fought 22:00 How do you keep running the big battle from slowing downplay for the PCs? 25:00 Can you put your players in charge of an army? It depends on the party 28:00 Can the enemy soldiers harm your PCs, or is it mud farmers vs. invincible knights? 30:00 How do you simulate what happens to the rest of the armies that aren't around the PCs? 34:00 An ad-hoc system for running mass combats that impacts each player and shouldn't bog down 37:00 Morale and victory conditions: Showing how PC actions impact the battle 41:00 How we would handle a battle with 300 zombies: It depends on our players 50:00 Final thoughts Support this podcast

In today's episode we talk about improving your mass combat.  How do I handle mass combat?  How to I make sure it doesn't get boring and slow?  What are the purposes of mass combat?  How to I engage all players in large extended combats?  We answer all these questions and more in today's episode.Leave us an email for feedback, questions, or thoughts at levelupyourgamingpodcast@gmail.comor Follow us on Facebook and engage with us at https://www.facebook.com/LevelUpYourGamingPlease leave us a review or a five star rating wherever you get your podcast.

In this episode of RotD we talk about how to plan and run a huge battle between armies. But more importantly, how to make the players' choices matter and influence the outcome in a combat of hundreds or thousands. The fate of the kingdom or galaxy could be determined from this battle!

In this episode we discuss the finer points of running mass combats and how to (not) do them effectively. Music Used:Title Theme:Tavern by PeriTunehttps://soundcloud.com/sei_peridot Music from https://filmmusic.io:"Folk Round" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)  Follow us on twitter: @Crit_Fails

We're back with a follow-up to our previous episode on mass combat! This time around, we're talking about actually roleplaying in a mass combat scenario, and treating war and conflict as a setting for more traditional roleplaying. First, though, we plug Peter's blog posts, and especially his heavy metal D&D setting design series and his most recent post on Horvu. (Happy Horvu, everyone!) We then tackle a question from Patreon supporter Richard, who asks us about Bible stories as one-shot games. After our Scripture reading, and making fun of Grant's inability to upload the correct file for STG 123, we dive right into mass combat as a roleplaying setting and opportunity. We make sure to include plenty of examples, and touch on a few common pitfalls as well. Enjoy! Scripture: Judges 12:4-6, Jeremiah 51:27-29, 2 Timothy 2:3-7

(Fixed audio.) This episode's conversation about mass combat—a topic selected by our Patreon supporters—turned out to be so big, we're following this one up with another episode on a related topic next time! Before that, though, we've got a lot of other things to discuss: The holidays, and especially all the games we played and picked up over the Christmas break. We talk a bit more about our Patreon and the need to change things somewhat as we move forward into 2018 (leave your comments on that below.) We also send our congratulations and prayers to Mike Perna and his family as they welcome their son into the world; and we send our condolences to the family and friends of Pat Roper, longtime Fear the Boot host, who passed away just after Christmas. Our Patreon question this week comes from Paige, who asks "Is there a game/campaign/thing you wish you could run, but you don't feel skilled enough to do it?" The answer: Oh my yes. All that having finally been taken care of, we do eventually get to our main topic: Making interesting mass combat scenarios as part of your ongoing roleplaying game campaign. Scripture: Exodus 17:8-13, Joshua 6:1-5, Ephesians 6:10-17

Jordan M. from Facebook asks: Rules question – Druid is in wildshape form with full hp. He gets charmed by a Succubus who then proceeds to use draining kiss. The resulting damage meets his max hp. Does the druid A) instantly die per draining kiss rules or B) revert back to druid form?   Segment 3: Main Topic: (Mass Combat) Mass combat rules are designed to allow the dmg to determine outcomes of massive battles A battle rating is determined for each creature – an general measurement of combat effectiveness To manage large scales – creatures organized into units. Morale rating is also used to measure combat motivations Fight to the death or flee Each unit has a Commander – Key role with their charisma modifier applying to initiative and morale Each unit must have 1 commander Battle Rating is based on the creatures CR. Bonus' range from +1 to +50 Table provided in UA Once a unit is created you use the table to calculate BR CR under ½ provide no BR Creating Units Each unit consists of 400 medium or smaller creatures Larger sizes take more space in a unit  (table provided) The larger the units the less creatures per unit Unit space is measured 100 feet on each side regardless of size – for tracking purposes It's best to organize similar or identical creatures to a unit Ranged Attackers A unit must have all creatures who can make ranged attacks at will to do so as a unit Range is 100 feet unless a single unit has less than that, then use that range Morale Rating This acts much like an ability modifier, scale of -10 to +10 (table in UA) roll d20 and add morale modifier Rule of thumb, start morale at 0 Add Commander's Charisma modifier – represents their ability to lead and motivate Factors Affecting Morale Poor treatment Low/No pay No stake in outcome Incompetent Commanders Daunting, overwhelming foe Poor equipment Running Battles Time: 1 round = 1 minute – Maneuvering hundreds of units takes time Initiative: Each unit is fixed: 10+unit morale + commander charisma mod A unit can move and take 1 action per turn Speed: =10x its lowest members speed Movement: A unit must stop moving if its adjacent to an enemy unit, unless thy disengage. Miniatures: Really helps here Each grid square or hex is 100 feet Action Options: Attack: Opposed checks between both unit's BR. Advantage: Attacker has Higher ground Defender is adjacent to to an additional enemy unit(flanking) Disadvantage: Defender has partial cover Defender is flanked by two friendly units Morale Checks: Casualties: A unit makes a DC 15 morale check if reduced to half its BR, if failed, it is removed from battle. Friendly Casualties: If a friendly unit is defeated within 500 feet, the unit must make a DC 10 morale check, if failed can't move or take action on its next turn Characters in Mass Combat: Don't absorb them into units if you can avoid it-if you must allow them to use special abilities to effect the unit. Example Wall of Ice effects 100 foot long line. Instead pause the action and give them a normal combat Zoom it to focus on the PCs, when enemy eliminated move back out to mass combat. Characters in Units: You can allow them to cast spells and do their actions as normal or allow them to control the units and become the commanders of their unit. Critical Events: If characters aren't placed as part of a unit you can have them take place in critical events during battle. See table in UA. These events play out like one-shot style games while the massive combat is going on around them.    Sponsor: Loresmyth Winner: Turtlesprint Segment 4: Unearthed Tips and Tricks! (We give you creative content for your next adventure) Character Concept: Nervous Tick Twitch from south park Always paranoid Easily startled   Monster Variant: The Count of Montecristo Origin: Noble Features: On Guard: While wielding a rapier, other creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter your reach. Lunging Attack: When The Count makes a melee weapon attack with On Guard, it can increase its reach by 5 feet. Halt: When you hit a creature with an opportunity attack, the creature’s speed becomes 0 for the rest of the turn.  Encounter: Call of Lightning! Entire combat takes place during a magical lightning storm. At the end of every characters turn they make a Dex saving throw to avoid being struck by lightning. A creature that moves more than 30 ft on their turn has advantage on this saving throw. A creature that doesn't move during their turn has disadvantage on the saving throw.     Magic Item: Socketed Gems -see reference doc - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bw5BlE7UQBLHUWJkd3RVYmppUmM   Dungeon Master Tip: Make powerful items a liability. Powerful Items attract unwanted attention Have people approach the heroes and make offers on their equipment. Have them attacked in an attempt to have their gear stolen. Have crime syndicates break into their base of operations while their out on quests.   Player Tip: Don't be a Dick! Don't try and talk while your DM is talking. It's rude as hell It's distracting Half the time, nobody gives a shit what you have to say.   Closing:  Please join us on our next episode where we hear feedback from our Heroes.
