So its lovecraft and or pulp explorers skirmish game? What is the scale of the maps? Is it like, a large area to explore and units in the same hex are in the same temple etc or a single ruin/battlefield?

>So its lovecraft and or pulp explorers skirmish game?
Pretty much, in a late 19th century vernes/wellesian universe.

>What is the scale of the maps? Is it like, a large area to explore and units in the same hex are in the same temple etc or a single ruin/battlefield?
We're planning a campaign mode, but for now it's a hex-grid based skirmish game. Nothing more complex than kill each other, for now, but we're hoping to develop it into a proper all-encompassing wargame, dungeon-crawling-underground-exploring-artifact-extracting thing with battles that may or may not influence the lore if we can figure things out. Read the lore doc if you're interested.

>So its lovecraft and or pulp explorers skirmish game?
Lovecraftian stuff are getting a lot of screentime right now purely because I'm working on the one faction which includes a lot of it, Mu (Old and New, which are "subfactions").
Its much more "kitsch"/"pulp" than cosmic horror stuff in your face most of the time.
>>90182432
>What is the scale of the maps?
Somehwere around 20x25 hexes should be good, maybe a bit less. Expeditions (i.e warbands) are supposed to be around 10-15 models, there's a max of 20 in 2e, but no minimum and you can build 3~4 men Expeditions if you want.
Most models have a movement of ~3hex per Action, 2 Actions to take a turn, so ~6 if you run, and ranged weapons have 10~12 Range, going up to 16 for some Rifles. The intent is that you may be able to take some potshots from turn 1, but you should definitely have most of you guys in range for turn 2.
Picrel is the first playtest run as example. We kept the map very open so has to not delay combat too much, so you should have a lot more terrain and obtructions normally.

>One-Horn Labor: This one narrowly avoided being brewed into Stink Juice and mostly toils for other Gorgs by carrying around heavy pots of Stink Juice when he's not being strapped into armor and made to fight. All Stink Juice items equipped by your army can be used an extra time, on account of the refills.
>Two-Horn Stench: These fetid Gorgs are forced to work in the breweries, and the blessed Stink lingers on them in battle. Doubled stench radius, can equip the dreaded Stinking Ladle (Greatclub) weapon.
>Three-Horn Ferocity: These Gorgs always have something to prove, always striving to earn the rank of Four-Horn. If this unit would be impacted by Dread or any fear effect, it instead rampages toward the nearest enemy unit.
>Four-Horn Status: Not just any Gorg is permitted to bear four horns upon his brow, and the other Gorgs in your expedition recognize this one's achievements. Buffs discipline for nearby allied Gorgs.

>They get different bonuses depending on which of the many conflicts
Yeah, that's what I thought too, seems the most obvious.
What about the French? Culinary preferences?

>>90190462
Didn't we discuss something about France being more high-tech due to the whole minister eiffel thing and access to underground resources? I'm not sure how that would translate into the game though. Could also emphasise the underground france aspect too, the only colonialists who are down there permanently and still mostly sane (sane as in, not riding dinosaurs into battle for melee).

>>90192205
>>90191944
We do have quite a lot of factions already.
Mechs might fit if they are very niche, like the Republican Guard's stilt-walkers, and perhaps they could be a niche part of the larger war effort, like Skyships getting lore mentions but not appearing in the skirmish game (as of yet anyways).
Or it might be for Campaign play. Mechs as vehicles with off-field artillery support rather than an actual model.
And I think if we really want to include them we might roll them into France and/or Autro-Hungary instead of having a dedicated faction to it.

>>90195860
Makes sense. I cant help but feel dinosaurs would sort of undermine the whole stiff-upper-lip thing the brits have.

I thought we were missing some follower for Sinister Dr Moreau's band, so I made up this. Mercenaries Inbred Deepfolks showing the signs of multiple generations corruption, but not yet turning into Lemurs and that Moreau can take to represent part of his own beastiarie. Idea is that Dr Moreau can mix Neanderthal Conditieri, Morlocks and these guys as if they were 100% native to Mu.
Degenaration means something more specific in lore so I wanted to avoid using that term.

Just going off number of units and amount of lore written about them.

Its not wasted anyways as it would eventually be useful for 2e too.

Perhaps not just as a Mount, but also as smaller cave critter. Regardless of their size, their don't have that much health (once you break the shell the gooey insides are doomed), but they have perfect Armour score, meaning you have to degrade their Armour or use High Pen weapons to hope to kill them.
Perhaps the small Titanium Crabs are actually the scarier, given they are faster and will still snip through anything.

I might come back to that but for the moment everything is 1 hex in size, with the Traction Engine for a while we tried doing multiple hexes with irregular shapes and its such a fucking mess, if something is just a 7 hex "circle" then it might work much better.

>>90181640
>> T.Q. What do you want to see included in the eventual campaign mode?
What about "unlockable events/mechanics". For example, it could be based on critters present, scenario objectives and types of enemies killed. So you have a series of tables based on events accomplished in the battle.
Say this battle your opponent bring Murlocks. You could have a table saying
> At the end of any battle in which you killed Murlocks (not a hard feat admittedly), roll d10. 1-5 nothing happens, 6-7 add 3 Murlock Grunts to your Rooster, 8-9 : gain 10 Rations, 10 : Gain Campaign Objective : Murlock Mystery.
> Murlock Mystery : You must succeed 3 Parley Action targeting Mad Murlock Shamans before the end of the Campaign. If you do, add 250 Silver to your Chest.
This could help build the narrative throughout the campaign all the while giving mechanical incentives to accomplish something else than beat face & dig deeper (not that there's anything wrong with that either).

My man of apodictical taste.
I made the token months ago but didn't know how to insert him yet. Also felt like maybe we should wait for Austro-Hungary. But a young Husserl going absolutely schizo over trying to make his phenomenology works in the context of Agartha and constantly getting discouraged because there's always a deeper Layer with newer eidetic laws that makes no sense at all would be absolutely kino. Sort of a more reasonable Beauchamps, but so incredibly autistic about writing 5000 pages to describe how one case of Deep Drunkness proves that Lived Time is getting compressed the deeper you go that almost no one ends up benefiting from his knowledge and understanding.

No, much later, they started officially in 1928. Husserl was nearing the end of his life at this point. Its his students from the first Gottigen (and to a smaller degree those of Munich) Circle which associated themselves later on to the Vienna Circle after Adolf Reinach died in WWI.
There is a relation, Carnap was a student of Husserl, and I think they wrote to each other, unless I'm mixing him with Cantor (Husserl did write to Cantor, mainly to shit on set theory, that I know).
Technically its even a bit early for Husserl, he would be ~16 at this point. The members of the School of Brentano would be more in time, but Husserl seems much more in theme, somehow.
The big question the historyfag in me wants to know is how would the Meyerling Incident would go down given that Paris isn't there to psyops all young European noblewomen into thinking suicide pacts are the best thing in life.

but in all of the playtests we played, we used
> hex side to hex side
instead
I, sadly, don't remember how 2e does it

Does this work well or is there a better solution that I'm missing?

>>90224568
Hexside to hexside in 2e, with front facing.
I really don't see why you would use center of the hex for this, there's absolutely no point to it.

>>90226130
I'm pretty sure it was a temporary ruling that no one used or paid attention to, so it just kind of got left unchanged.

>>90226254
I know the other Edition anons didn't want to worry too much about facing or flanking, so maybe that was the objective with this.
btw is it me or is /tg/ really fast these days? to page 6 in ~40 minutes seems really quick. I would have expected September to make things slower.

Is Eduard Bulwer Lytton's story, 'Vril' suitable material for this or do people not like the word 'Vril' these days because of that weird, ironic broscience /pol/ association?

>>90228107
>'Vril' these days because of that weird, ironic broscience /pol/ association?
I'm not very familiar with it beside the few mentions I've seen of it on /lit/, but from the impression I got from it, its essentially the exact same as the Inner Sun's Chi for Lemurian Cultivation.

Any ideas for the Mu Hero Traits?
Whichever eldritch being they serve/call ancestry from?

>>90228492
I think there was some talk of Mu Heroes getting traits based on various experiments the Old Ones have grafted onto them

Oh I like that.
In the meantime here's a profile for Sinister Dr Moreau. Lots of rules but it should be fairly simple to execute.

>>90228816
Interesting. He looks like a leader with lots of potential shenanigans in the hands of a good player. I like it.

How about something to underscore the "mechanical" aspect of the French?
> Effeil's Cuirassiers
> Generic troops under Eiffel, but limited to 3 under other French Leaders.
> Looks like someone made an armour suit out of trashcans.
> Actually fairly sophisticated on the inside.
> Surprisingly quick if walks straight up, but really cumbersome to turn with (high Movement stat, low AP, but must spend Movement to turn facing like in BT).
> Next to no armour on the Limbs.
> Counts as Mechanical so that Eiffel can use his tricks on them.

xref famous explorers of the 1800s

>>90223388
The general idea is that the warband plays one of these roles:
>Regular-ass expeditionary force, with a slight more focus on numbers to compensate for lower quality
>Jannarae cult centered around one-two powerful casters, currently the least supported theme
>A Volcano Lord Aspirant and his entourage
>A mix of the above.

Witches at the moment act best as support rather than having defined list-building guidelines. The fourth option (mix) is meant to have a faction that can also play silver bullet if needed.

>>90206572
For underground critters, not necessarily mounts, per perhaps
> Quinotaur
> Olm-Drake (smaller, more aggressive Olms)
> Tongue-Eating Cave Louse (slightly bigger than the Sea version, can infect humans too)
> Giant Crab
> Titanium Shrimp (like a mantis shrimp, but with a titanium shell).

>>90181640
> T.Q. What do you want to see included in the eventual campaign mode?
An RPG, eventually. I know we've barely started playing the regular game, but I think it'd be a lot of extra fun to expand the setting even more with a proper RPG with player characters. Hell, we're already halfway there with some of the leader units for factions.

>>90237034
I've thought about working on something like that, given that I'm not really a wargame player, but I haven't started anything.

Question for the historyfags in this thread.
Would "losing the King's colours" be as much of an issue in 1870 than say in 1809?
Say, it could be a piece of equipment you can buy if you have a Colonial's Military as your Sponsor. Lower Dread by 2 instead of 1 as long as its on the field, but the bearer causes 3 more Dread to be generated if he falls, and you no longer lower Dread at the end of your turn until another Friendly model picks it up?

>>90239526
>>90237034
The more I think about it, the more I feel like the 2e Stat block would almost work as if for a RPG, the only thing you'd probably have to change is to add a "detailed" health box to most models with a few more boxes, perhaps a few more locations too, and then maybe some Skill traits for specific Actions...

>>90228107
>or do people not like the word 'Vril' these days because of that weird, ironic broscience /pol/ association?
Why would you even care?

>>90234026
>Possible Mu-bred parasite equippable to any mount/beast that gives it a bite attack and makes it spawn a louse on death?
Oh that's absolutely horrifying and I love it.
>>90237034
>An RPG
What kind of RPG are we talking about? Something very freeform, the DM makes an adventure story and you play it, or something more procedural like Lancer, with a havy focus on a map grid system?

I only added the Parley action, otherwise I pretty much copy pasted the unit's doc.
Eventually in a Campaign mode this could be very useful if you manage to keep her alive.

Obviously her and the Nameless Khan had to be pretty insanely powerful.

>>90242323
A bit of both, in my mind. A map grid system of a given region which your party plays in, say, all of Fallen France, and the combat is basically what we have now, but you get to travel across the whole thing doing narrative adventures in the slums of Fallen Paris, or the villages in the surrounding areas, maybe venturing to some temples in the surrounding areas and meetings Gorgs or Olm Men, or fighting hordes of local morlocks. Would require a lot of effort on the DMs part though, and obviously not something we should work on until we get a basic "complete" edition of the skirmish part out. But it's something I'd like to do eventually.

>>90243190
Thanks for this, maybe I can try and make some parts of the campaign mode and this intermesh.

>>90243746
Well, depending on how things work out, we could probably re-use the campaign map for the rpg, since it'll be the same general area. And depending on how complex we want to make the campaign itself we can probably re-use a lot of systems in that for this hypothetical rpg too, since the Expeditions would be only a little bigger than a player party. Just have to wait and see what we figure out for the campaign first I guess.

>>90246416
There's a world map of the 3rd and 4th layer, but no campaign map. Battle maps are just basic things like here>>90240737

We'll probably make a proper campaign map of a region like fallen france and surroundings when we get to designing the campaign, but that's a long way off I think. We're still working on getting the skirmish mode to an acceptable level through playtests.

>>90246776
whats current priority ?
just play testing?

>>90248865
Playtesting, building the lore for the existing factions, updating the various docs, possibly finding replacement for the missing Edition anon unless he's come back (I mean its been what 3 weeks?), finishing giving representation too most if not all factions (not necessary but whatever it kills time).
Even just starting to reformat the lore docs into complete sentences would be of great help.
But yeah, playtesting would be biggest thing.

Wright Brothers flight was in the 1900s, this is firmly 1870s/80s though we do have airships (which haven't been expanded upon outside the original chart)
