We're taking a little break...
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said-“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

    We used to link combats in old LOTR SBG. Totally ruined the game for us and we eventually quit the hobby. Turns out when 20 elves roll off against 40 orcs (or anything else we chose to bring even heroes) the elves will always win … every … single … time …

    This looks fun and i would like to play something similar. Did you changed anything else about the rules , the player characters seem stronger and the enemy weaker .How do the command cards work everybody has theirs or choose 6+standing orders ?

    • @thehobbybreakfastshow
      @thehobbybreakfastshow 9 днів тому

      Main change was the AI system- so rolling a dice to determine what the stormtroopers did. We fully upgraded Mando/Boba/IG- let them use all their orders, not just 6. The enemy had no upgrades except special weapons, and used just the base orders until Gideon arrived. We then rolled a D3 each turn and picked one of Gideon's cards based on that roll. That was it pretty much!

    It looks like the game plays quickly and is easy to learn and flexible. Does it actually have any tactics or is it just run up and bash?

    • @thehobbybreakfastshow
      @thehobbybreakfastshow 4 дні тому

      I think there is strategy in the push your luck element to the rules- the order of activating units, and there a bit of rock-paper-scissors in what units are good against.

    Sword Weirdos is the wargaming discovery of 2024. I tried Space Weirdos when it came out and liked it - but I still found it lacking. The addition of class synergies and weapon-based manouvers is great, it elevates the game from diversion to a light but very memorable wargame. I implore you to try an "adventuring party" heavily ladden with burning flasks. It's a meme list, but it's neither OP or terrible.

    I love your take on making the "historical" lore outcome be the Draw condition. And then winning for Good is doing better, and winning for Evil is doing worse. Feels like that could be fairly easy to house rule over existing Scenarios. Definitely will be incorporating that idea in my future narative games.

    • @thehobbybreakfastshow

  • @marekjurko4548
    @marekjurko4548 Місяць тому

    That's very dissapointing, I had high hopes for this campaign and planned to do Scouring of the Shire myself. I'm not interested in competitive play, so narrative campaigns and scenarios are only thing that peaked my interest about SBG. Do you think that's a general problem of narrative sourcebooks or just hobbits and ruffians suck so much that they bring the house down?

    • @thehobbybreakfastshow
      @thehobbybreakfastshow Місяць тому

      Id encourage you to play it, for sure. Like we discussed, I think you have to play the game differently, which we didn't do very well. The scenarios could have been designed in a way that would better suit how we want to play, but that wont be the same for everyone! I'd say if you're playing with a friend, just make sure neither of you feel like you're picking a side. Take the challenge on together somehow. I think the ruffians and hobbits are great to play against one another. They are a good match, which is important, it's just a lot of the scenarios dont feel like they have been designed to be balanced. - Mayor

  • @riclacy3796
    @riclacy3796 Місяць тому

    Yeah, but, in seriousness, the Annatar and Celebrimbor stuff is really good. Perhaps not enough to endure the dwarf and elf politics or proto-Gandalf wandering around and looking for a stick, but it's really well done.

    • @hunsler1006
      @hunsler1006 Місяць тому

      I'd disagree and say the dwarves do the heavy lifting in the show. Celebrimbor stuff was probably second best for me. But overall, not a good show 😅
