World of Twilight is so delightfully idiosyncratic that you cast little stones to resolve combats. Seems rude to use bog standard cube D6s for a game with that much style... Hence some shiny new barrel dice 🤩

Support weapons groups for the #quar . Infantry guns, an hmg and snipers for Croftyr. Lmgs, anti-tractor torpedoes, a scout team and their sniper for the Crusade. Battlefield is about to get more interesting!

No GM in their right mind would let their story be derailed by anything as arbitrary as a dice roll! Heck, if I could have gotten away with my players not rolling dice either I would have 😈🤣

Given the apparent controversy of @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social suggesting that scenes can be resolved without the use of dice, here's an interesting quote from Gary Gygax in 1983, as reported in Imagine Magazine #2:

Happy 75th Anniversary to the Goon Show! It transformed my attitude towards authority, created worlds inside my head that I'm still trying to capture on paper, and taught me that there are smart jokes and silly jokes and one's not better than the other. (And sometimes they're the same joke.)

Cartoon drawing of a radio exploding, and characters from The Goon Show being flung about by the blast: Ned Seagoon, Grytpype-Thynne, Moriarty, Henry Crun, Minnie Bannister, Eccles and Bluebottle. Along the bottom are headshots of the four original Goon performers: Michael Bentine, Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers.

Early morning #solowargaming for the bank holiday. Practicing full fat 250pt #warcrow ahead of a game this week. The northern tribes are really mobile and hit like a freight train, but the Hegemony can take an enormous amount of punishment. And magic is verrrryyy unreliable but powerful.

Another quick #warcrow game. Second installment of the last of the Wilds mini campaign. Couldn't puzzle out what we were supposed to do with the end of round marker after each event (translation issues perhaps?) but still a good game. Getting the hang of embersig now.
