    They have to be 16.

    Come back in 2 years. They'll also have drivers licenses so I don't have to go out of my way.

    You know folks can drive at 15 1/2 around these parts right?

    Terrifying.

    I did know.

    It explains the 80 cars in ditches the first time it really snows every year.

    I felt the same way, you just got to sit down and bang out a rough script for what you want to do and work from there. In 2 hours I made a 3 part adventure for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. My (encyclopedic) familiarity with the setting helped, but it felt good to bang out something like that and watch it actually come together and work out- especially on my second try.

    Even if you've never played WarMachine, you should check out the 3rd edition rules for Iron Kingdoms from Privateer Press. Man, that was such a fun session. I played a ranger/sniper. We also had an elven rogue, a human gun mage, an ogron bodger and a trollkin fellcaller. It's a fun setting, steampunkish.

    I had an idea for a monster campaign where the PCs played henchmen for what was essentially Dr. Frankenstein, then eventually got caught up in a fight between Frankenstein and his monster, the townspeople, and the real heroes who are trying to stop Frankenstein. Kinda stalled out on playing in general with 4th edition because no one in our group really got into that edition and I had trouble transitioning the idea back to 3rd.

    I was driving on 90E over the weekend and realized that the car beside me had completed a full 180 and was now driving backwards at about 45 miles per hour. The lady (lol, i know rite) freaked right the fuck out and turned as hard and she could and made her way right into the guard rail on the other side of the highway. Somehow everyone behind her managed to avoid her.

    The worst thing about it is that it feels like you are playing the game, but really you are just pressing A to get to the next scene in the battle.

    The options are like:

    => Attack
    => Do Something Useless
    => Also Useless
    => Heal

    A buddy of mine in high school and I used to play it some. It was kind of unwieldy I thought but had a lot of flexibility. I understand that they have cleaned up some of the stupid parts (like how active defenses were handled I think).

    I have not played a tabletop RPG in like 20 years. So there is a caveat.

    It seems like the game would basically last until someone rolled a 1 on d20.

    Well, the thing is that you can guarantee a zero chance of miscast, but it requires you to significantly limit the amount of damage you do or the power of the effect. So basically you're constantly wagering that you're not about to explode your head and end the world in return for a little extra oomph.

    Also casters are hated and feared and if people find out you are one they'll hunt you down and kill you in a sufficiently noteworthy manner. And since the only way anyone gets killed in WHFRP is by accumulating enough critical hits - which result in particularly grievous, permanent wounds, like hacking half of someone's leg off or crushing their testicles with a steel sabaton to the crotch; the game is designed from the ground up to be even more GRIMDARK than Chaosium's Call of Cthulu - these are really, really ugly.

    Also pretty much everything you fight is stronger than you. As Morskittar put it, "If, at the end of a WHFRP session, your characters are not intensely worried, ur doin it rong."

    It's a really fun game, but it takes a couple of runthroughs to adapt to the dark humor and the fact that you are not in fucking Faerun anymore. Lots of people base their DnD characters off of the humble farmboy trope; this is a game based around actually playing a humble farmboy in an intensely hostile world trying to fight off marauding orcs with agricultural implements.
