Games

Here is a list, in order of preference, of the games the cheese would like to play once he is relocated to the OC...

1. Warhammer (at some point the cheese will actually finish painting his army)
2. Discworld RPG (this will mean, of course, that unknown suavo will either have to read some discworld novels, or the cheese will have to GM *shudder*)
3. Warhammer RPG (is it out yet?)
4. Star Wars RPG (doesn't the cheese have like TWO characters for this game)
5. Warhammer Quest (easily played without all the hub-bub of a real RPG)
6. Unnamed Game (the one that suavo made/is making...have you guys played this recently?...if so you can bump this up to numero tres)
7. Shadowrun (it's just not the same without Junkin, though the cheese is willing to substitute D20 Modern and move it up if someone wants to GM)
8. Robotech (the cheese will never have another character like this...and damnit he misses ol' Ian "I can kill you 300 ways with my mind, plus I have a very handy collection of swords. And if that doesn't scare you let me introduce you to my pals Exion and Tengu..." Strife)

Did the cheese miss anything?

1.The good news is that with the cheese being geographically close to the rest of us now, he will get his army painted eventually as he will be able to participate in the occasional painting sessions we have.
2. How does that game play? d20 d6 or what?
3. Yes it is out.
4. I have quite a few of these books.
5. true
6. I haven't played this in probably a year but the problem is that this game may come with 50% more dave than other games on this list.
7. I still have junkins core rules for this game and between tengu and I we have the books for it.
8. I recently found good old exion and his list of things.

1. The cheese goal all along was to "convince" exsulis to paint the cheese' army for him

2. It's based on Gurps, which the cheese is fairly sure none of us have played, but it's essentially a d20...plus the cheese has the first supplement book, and a map of Anhk-Morpork...we're set!

3. The cheese wants to be a ratcatcher!

4. But don't you want to take up the Goon Squad again? The cheese just found all the character sheets while packing his closet.

5. Why can't we have dragon ogres?

6. Dave....uhg*shudder*...annoying Dave...*evil smile*

7. The cheese has the third edition rules

8. Ok, it may have been Mike Yishita...Strife's memory ain't what it once was...and you gotta love Exion and all his 'things'

Jezmon_Degyte said...

Yeah why can't we have dragon ogres and centaurs? They have models for them.

As I recall Exion had some pretty cool items such as the crate full of schtekins(or however you spell it), trucks, zentraedi porn, a tv, various mission trophies. Man it was awesome.

Jezmon_Degyte said...

If we played your game again, I'd like to start again since I don't remember too much of what happened before we stopped. Plus I have some ideas for new character types that could be fun to play.

Exion wouldn't buy a dinosaur until after he built the ultimate mech that he designed, the "Exion mk-1." You know the one with spartan missle pods and 2 excaliber laser cannons.

THE CHEESE HAD TOTALLY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE SCHETKINS!!!!!!

What a horribly worthless, but fun to say, gun.

The cheese distinctly remembers Exion wearing a helmet a la Gen. Patton during the mission where the team successfully defended that defenseless village from invasion, with not much more than a few helicopters and tanks.

You have to read the discworld rpg manual (damnit! it's packed right now otherwise the cheese would start re-reading it for the 12th time). It has some of the stuff from gurps, but it's been heavily modified for the discworld universe. Or, you could start reading the discworld books! Any of you!

The cheese doesn't mind playing with Dave, it's not like he hasn't before.

If there were to be some WHQ with "evil" characters going after good guys, we can throw in a number of Imperial soldiers to the slaughter...or we could run some sort of above ground campaign, seiging a castle or what not

Jezmon_Degyte said...

The best thing about the schetkins was that dave saved up for like 2 or 3 missions to buy one and then Exion was able to get like 3 crates of them for free.

If we are going to run a campaign with a siege, why don't we just play regular warhammer fantasy battle.

b_cheese said...

Because the cheese is thinking more on a mordheim scale, with heroes, as opposed to fantasy battle, with blocks of nameless drones...not that the cheese is opposed to fantasy battle mind you (far from it obviously, it was #1 on the list), but WHQ allows for more "roleplaying" with your dice rolling than fantasy battle

exsulis said...

Yes, there are Dragon Ogre models. Follow the link http://store.us.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.us?do=List_Models&code=302819&orignav=301128&ParentID=1254036&GameNav=13
which would be handy.

exsulis said...

Have you though about "convincing" Leroy he does nothing all day long.

b_cheese said...

But the cheese already knows that you have at least two armies fully painted, so you're determined!

exsulis said...

Actually it is two fieldable armies. The Bretonnians have a fair bit of stuff to be painted, while the DOW are really far off from being a completely done army. Then I my 40K stuff that is barely started.

exsulis said...

Then there have been the side tracked items like the Orcs which appeared. I just wish I knew where the Night Goblins went. Yeah, 1000pt in Orcs that we have been unable to explain.

b_cheese said...

The cheese doesn't want to hear anything about no stinkin' 40k! The orcs on the other hand...you can never have too many orcs, or skaven, or skeletons

exsulis said...

I just wish the Orcs would stop appearing, and then disappearing. It makes them really hard to paint. Then there is the Couple of Dark Elf monsters I painted, Mmm Dragon.
