Do you think the skeleton brothers would enjoy playing chess together or is it like the junior jumble vs. crosswords where one is more partial to checkers than chess and vice versa
one game of chess following skelebros comedy rules would make a grown man insane before the third turn

Over War is a big love letter to classic console strategy rpgs.
It's also a tabletop roleplaying game, which meant some adjustments needed to be made during the design process.
A computer can juggle weird and complex calculations at a rate faster than a human GM, so you can make a computer do Fire Emblem's Hit Rate + Weapon triangle bonus + Support bonus – Enemy’s (Avoid + Terrain bonus + Support bonus) [%] pretty easily. But a human GM is going to leave if you try to inflict that on them.
So the first thing I did with Over War was decide that there would be no hit calculations. If you're going to be running around with a blob of 6+ characters per player, you do *not* need to also be worrying about accuracy and equipped weapon and armor class and whatnot.
Attacks in Over War just hit, and they just deal their damage to their target. Where things get complicated is in what type of damage they do and who they target.
Default targeting is just whoever is in front of the attacker. But archers can shoot into the back row. Mages can fireball everyone. And healers can (out of necessity) target their own unit. Better, broader types of targeting are more expensive, and there are even ways to change your enemy's targeting. With the right choices, you can turn their big blast-casting aoe archmage into a less impressive single-target poke.
In a game where everyone controls only one character, you might not want to design things this way. Over War's simple targeting and damage works because a player can have five of their characters knocked out and still limp away to heal---and because players can reshuffle their formation and change out the types of characters in their unit when they do.
This keeps players in control and lets them keep making decisions, even when they're in a bad spot.
You *can* still drop the Attacks Just Hit mechanic into a more traditional system, and there are osr titles that do, but this changes the central question of combat from "can I roll well?" to something else. Think about what you want that something to be, and pick something interesting.

Intelle is a fun, strategic, two-player, abstract area control game that is a hit for fans of Chess.
The color of the spot you select determines which area (hex) your opponent is allowed to place in next.
If you arrange pieces inside of a hex to form a line or triangle (only 3 pieces needed) then the hex is under your control. Control 3 adjacent hexes and you win the game 😎🎲

I love games that are easy to find now! These games are coming out near you, and you don't have to wait 18 months to get them. These are the best board games hitting retail in May 2023.

Favorite new to me board games from 2022:
Iki
Furnace
Battleline medieval
That time you killed me
Glux
Clone Wars
Cat in the box
Trekking through history
Fake artist goes to N.Y
Suspects
I have some that would likely make this list but i haven't had time to play them enough. But damn Ikki might be the best board game I have ever played. Such a wealth of options and all things considered not really a hard game to learn. Furnace is the best engine building game i have ever played with some really fun and tight auctions. That time you killed me is such a unique take on abstract strategy and the time travel mechanisms are top notch. Suspects is my new favorite mystery solving game, I adore the Agatha Christie style theme and the card system. Cat in the box is probably the most unique card game I've ever played and I hope more people will seek it out. Honestly these are all amazing games.

Trans Awareness Week
Tumblr media
This #transawarenessweek, it might be prudent to bring up that our lead character in Stardust is trans, though that's certainly not all she is. http://stardustrpg.com
Raz and I greatly appreciate any feedback we receive, on the game and the novel & lore. It helps us make our passion project better.

More progress with Blender, more miniatures for a fictitious tabletop game! After the tower, I've created a little medieval fort. It took me something like 20 hours in total to create it, but for most of it I did it without looking up for any tutorial or using reference. With the exception of the texture painting, the shading and the walls around the four towers, it was all done without any kind of help.
I could've done something better for sure, but I'm happy with the final result nonetheless!

Y’all I just gotta say, if you’re gonna whine over lady custodes let me just say…. I’m actually thinking of buying them now just to make the neckbeards cranky. I’ve been in this hobby for 2 decades and have heard so much whiney bs from grown men who don’t think women belong in the hobby PERIOD!
If you really are so easily offended then let me just say… you wouldn’t last if you were a minority. We have actual shit to deal with. You go ahead and keep pretending like you’re not the snowflake though I guess.

While we're talking about MHA, here's another headcanon: Tsu really loves strategy games, whether in tabletop game or video game form. She's painted her own figurines for various tabletop games, and as for the video games, it doesn't matter if they're turn-based or real-time.
