What do you think about mixing wargames and RPG rules?
I had idea to do this in Oolong campaign but I did not. Now I have opportunity again in my Runequest campaign.
What I have in mind is following - sometimes, by luck or intention, your character can find itself in the midst of the bigger battle.
In this case, I will make my character a leader of one of the units in battle, play the battle using 2HW rules (as solo friendly) and than continue with Runequest campaign having result of the battle in mind.
The preparation for battle and the battle will replace Q7 and Q8 in this 9Qs game.
I will soon let you know the result of this experiment.
Great idea. I really like Two Hour Wargames. All of their games can be played solo and some work as roleplaying games. Check them out at http://store.twohourwargames.com/index.html
ReplyDeleteActually, I do not like their "roleplaying" line. For this I prefer actual roleplaying rules. For me 2HW shines at battalion level - games like Muskets and Shakos, 5150 Battalion commander or Warrior Heroes: Warbands.
ReplyDeleteI like 2HW's philosophy of scale and solo support.
