For war gaming, which system do you personally prefer, if you don’t mind my asking? I’m looking to molest some people with something fresh and pathfinder doesn’t always work out. I used to ask people on Reddit, but I’d rather not use that site again.
Lancer seems interesting but terrifyingly involved between the fresh setting, combat that feels like two legendary monsters fighting, and the host of new adjectives I’ll have to incorporate into my vocabulary. I’d only heard about it once before, from a zee bashew video, and it seems far more fleshed out than what I expected.
Mythras significantly cuts down on one of those, so I’ll probably try to figure that one out first. Multiple degrees of success and more gradation between the cost of actions seems pretty neat. Thank you for the recommendations! I’ll almost certainly need to chew on them for a while to really understand them, but I adore both setting and the mechanics behind them!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely going to read up on it after mythras. It will just take me so much longer to get the feeling for how to tell the story of benevolent armored core ostensibly set in Macross. And even longer to adapt the lexicon that it deserves.
Like, I can currently describe thundering annihilation and cleaving the landscape in only so many ways. The mechanics are simple in comparison to avoiding repetitive verbiage. This is prime brisket. Mythras won’t require months for me to fully immerse myself, which is why I’m checking it first. It’s just much less involved and I need something to fall back on in case “the thing I’ve been super excited to show you guys” doesn’t fly.
Edit: also, how dare you introduce me to another comic that I now have to read
How long did that take you?? The highest we’ve ever gone is level 11, and that took a couple of years.

Oh, wargaming dnd? How’d you like it? Did 5e stand up well or did it need a lot of homebrewing?
