What was the last rules set you played 2019

[Leman]

Far less likely to appear in a bloopers clip as you don't need to learn as many lines if you are staring in video!

[Leman]

You might also land a role in a Blink 180 video.

You might also land a role in a Blink 180 video.

Only if my physician changes my medication.

Not sure if that should be starring or staring. I think I prefer the latter.

Apologies to Sunjester if I've spelled Sotoyoma's name incorrectly.

SCENE: FOREST CLEARING IN A STORM AT NIGHT. MOST OF THE TIME ALL THAT CAN BE SEEN IS THE SILLOUETTE OF THE TREES AGAINST THE NIGHT SKY. OCCASSIONALLY A FLASH OF LIGHTNING WILL ILLUMINATE THE SCENE, SHOWING THE PARTY GATHERED AROUND, WITH SOTOYOMA TRYING TO LIGHT A FIRE. NIGHT TIME.

Sotoyoma (voice in darkness)
Bugger... Bugger... Bugger...

There is a brief spark that dies instantly

Sotoyoma
Bugger.

Christos
Aren't you supposed to be a Ranger?

Sotoyoma
Bugger off you mad god-botherer.

Lightning flashes, revealing the party hunched in the rain, Sotoyoma trying to light the fire with flint and steel.

Sotoyoma
It's not my fault. Everything is wet. The wood is wet, the tinder is wet

Gunnar
I'm wet.

Sotoyoma
Yes. We're all bleeding wet. No one can light a fire in this weather.

The Wizard Eduardo
I can.

Robin
STOP HIM!

Eduardo
FIAT L- erch

Lightning flashes irregularly, showing the party wrestling Eduardo to the ground in a series of vignettes.

Eduardo
Geroff. Do you want this fire lit or what?

Gunnar
Two words. Pig. Roast.

Eduardo
It was cooked, wasn't it?

Christos
It was charcoal on the outside, and still oinking in the middle.



SCENE: INTERIOR, TAVERN. THE PARTY ARE SAT AROUND A TABLE WITH MUGS OF ALE, AND THE REMAINS OF DINNER ON PLATES. EVENING.

Sotoyoma
Did you ask for a receipt for the armour repair?

Gunnar
Aye, laddie.

Sotoyoma
And?

Gunnar
The smith asked what a receipt was.

Sotoyoma
And?

Gunnar
He had to go and find someone who could read and write.  That cost an extra silver penny.

Sotoyoma
But did you get a receipt?

Gunnar
Aye.

Gunnar hands over a scrap of parchment.

Gunnar
I dinnae know why you want it.

Sotoyoma (distracted by checking parchment)
Taxes.

Bravely Bold Sir Robin
Taxes?

Sotoyoma
Yes, armour repairs are tax deductible – reasonable wear and tear.

Eldarando
When do we pay taxes?

Sotoyoma looks at them with exasperation

Sotoyoma
What do you think that I am saying to the gate guards when we enter a city? I'm paying our taxes. Why do you think I ask for money from you all?

Gunnar
Ach, I though that was just bribes. I dinnae know ye were doing anything immoral.

Your wish is my command, as the AAR is now in the Batrep section .

[d_Guy]

1) What ruleset did you use in your last game? - For King and Parliament.
2) What armies were confronted? - Royalists v Roundheads at the Battle of Montgomery, 1644
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - Yes, but it was the first time for all the players.
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - No
5) How many players were in the game? - Four
6) What went well? - The speed with which the players picked up the rules was impressive as was the game flow. The Forlorn Hopes were more stalwart then usual. The horse leaving in droves as they pursued the broken enemy caused much comment and excitement.
7) What could have been improved? - As the presenter/referee I made a substantial hash of the counter-charge rules but was forgiven (I think  )

Great missionary work, Bill (assume you are not only the first to introduce FK&P but also 10mm to what looks like a great bunch of wargamers)!
