Cold Wars 2020




I'm thinking about going to the Cold Wars Historical Miniatures Convention in Lancaster:

Cold Wars Website

I would be going for the day, on Saturday, March 14.   It looks like a one-day pass is $35.   If anyone's interested in going, let me know.

Ain't that a Kick in the Head?

With the last minute illness emergency of Jason, we decided to use the Mythic GM Emulator to run an adventure anyway.   As before, the emulator has a good concept behind it, but all the rules details are opaque and not very useful.  

I was thinking that if (when) we do something like this in the future, we should make it more direct and more consistent.

We should always use, say, a d12.   We pick a likelihood out of 12 (3 is 1/4, 4 is 1/3, 6 is 50-50, 8 is 2/3, 9 is 3/4).   If we roll a "1" our guess about the future is super-spot on.   If we roll a "12" it is exactly the opposite of what we guessed (or on an 11-12, if the chance was 5 or less).
