RE: Let’s Unbox & Play Warhammer 40K Kill-Team (Part 2)!

in #warhammerlast year

Don’t you love it when you’re getting back into seeing and you forget things 🤣 I’ve been doing that routinely running games for my group. Though running my system is easier as there’s less to remember 😆

Love the little narrative bits in between, having fun? 🙃

Sort:  

Hahaha, yes. Yes I do.
It's completely expected, but still annoying. There are a bunch of YouTube videos of people playing these games, and the comments are just... hyperfocused on every rule they didn't get quite right. Ugh, I never want that.

Hahaha, I thought the narrative bits would be far more interesting to people unfamiliar with the game and rules... which is, well, everyone.

The narrative bits do feel super constrained because I'm also trying to explain the rules, but as the games start to flesh out a bit (there are a lot more rules and game mechanics to come) maybe they'll be a bit more interesting to write and read.

Rules lawyers can be great sometimes (as long as they have a decent accuracy rate XD) as they're usually quicker than looking it up, but even when you're desperately trying to do Rules As Written you sometimes end up doing Rules As Interpreted anyway because there are some things that either can't or just don't get written unambiguously.

I have a feeling a lot of those commenters whould absolutely hate playing with me XD

feeling would probably be mutual

Hahaha, I am all about Rules As Interpreted or Rules As Intended over Rules As Written because I think you can usually determine the reason a rule was written and what the purpose of it was... who wants to win purely on a technicality, where is the fun in that?

I'd say you'd be surprised but you probably wouldn't be XD
