Totally! 😊 I am starting to feel more and more like our adult attention spans are also beginning to wane, so this could be a good system for both children and parents (and all adults!). Perhaps like “training in gaming attention” before we try to tackle or return to more complicated systems. ⚔️🛡️🔥

The mats have potential. The checker blue screams power station at me and the water would work for an under water star wars location. If you got the right artsy tupper ware it could be a Gungan city or clear plastic cups and connected then could make great underwear tubes. Heck Kamino could work as a flooded area the droids attack though into the instillation.

These things are cool, but what is REALLY cool is either your wife (if that’s a wedding band), for letting you buy all this “crap”, or the size of your house, where you will be able to stash all this, as I doubt this is neither the first nor the last time you have done this 🤣 Seriously though, I love the idea of repurposing (preferably cheap) things for gaming. But I have accepted that I never get around to actually painting them, and I have run out of space. So please make more videos like this, and show the end result if you paint/modify them. Because then I can live vicariously through you 🤣 Great video! 👍👏

I have an INCREDIBLE wife who is very supportive of my hobby obsessions! 😊 Not a huge house, but smart storage can go a long ways! I have a great bin system in one of our closets and a bin system under the gaming table (otherwise wasted space). I also have a ton of projects I am “going to get to” but that have been sitting there for months (sometimes I just need to admit defeat and send stuff back to the thrift stores!). I am hoping to get some time this summer for a few crafting projects (bridge, boat, mats). I will be sure to post some content about the projects! 😊👍

I am really excited about this! I cannot wait to see what story will be unfolded by all of the solo gamers! I was not familiar with Numenera. For everyone, the core book and a few supplements are free to read online! The setting is so unique and interesting! It leaves space for any type of story. I have started reading the setting and lore to get a feel of the world. So far, by artwork and equipment lists etc, I get a vague Dune-ish vibe. A somewhat techno-medieval setting with bedrolls made of synthetic fiber and battle axes made of synth steel! Just the name of some equipment fires up my creative brain, like memory ants, we need to have some memory ants in the adventure! Whatever they are! Great choice of setting! No firearms from what I can see at a first glance, which I would have liked, but probably we can create something like a techno-repeater crossbow "cypher" which would serve the same narrative purpose. @gray army gaming, my suggestion would be for your episode to be episode 1. I think it makes it more clear that it is the beginning of a story and not the setting/ character building episode.

Not a dumb question at all! The beauty of this system is that you don’t need a complete deck to play-just a bunch of cards! A good start is to just pick up a bunch of cheap commons/uncommons. Ebay has tons of cards for cheap. Otherwise local game stores usually sell bulk commons for next to nothing. The most important thing is to find a bunch of “bad” cards with great pictures. Good luck! 🍀👍

If an attacker is defeated in close combat he should be immediately removed as a casualty.

Just got this game and am looking to try it out as well. Great battle report, looking forward to more. Here a couple rules issues I saw. When the cards are tied, you look at the suit, the order being spades beating hearts beating diamonds beating clubs. You only draw a second card if both cards share the same suit. Would not have mattered with the 5's, but the second time @4:12 the defector would have hit. The close combat, the loser is removed from the game. Also, I don't think you keep checking for initiative. You simply go back and forth with activation cards until a Joker is pulled. Then do end of turn stuff and redo initiative.
