What in the blue hell is this world coming to?

5e Tiefling Monk, you Old Guard button-counting, musket-firing hooligan!

I don't know if you've seen this link before but I've started to create the tables into DHTML for use as a play-aid for Carrier.  Not all the tables are done and some are a little rough around the edges but I think that I have more detailed air-attack procedures working nicely:

That's damn cool!

GJK's pimped that site elsewhere too (notably the Carrier thread I started), but it IS damn cool, and I'd do the same if I made something that sweet.

I gotta read the bloody rules, though, otherwise what's the point of a bunch of automated tables?

the good news is that Carrier uses programmed instruction, so your up and playing something before too long. It's a bit of a slog though with 6 or 7 steps to get through before you get the full game going.

I figured it would be a slog...an Avalon Hill-ish slog, to be sure. I'll definitely be using GJK's stuff once I get there, though...anything to make it easier.

Well, I certainly can't ban one of the proprietors from Fort Kick-Ass, but I can certainly give him the side-eye.  Curse this lack of side-eye emoji.

And I suppose I best watch out lest that monk punch me square in the knee...

I do rather like being called a hooligan, though.  First time, I think.

To teach us about suffering and humility?

Why are wargames played?

Because it's cheaper than getting a divorce?
