A screenshot from the work in progress rules of the tabletop skirmish game Mithgore, linked in the first post in this thread of posts.

Anything at all would be very appreciated. Additionally, you'll see many things outside the 'Play Loop' are very much a work in progress, often in abbreviated note form, but feel free to comment on those too - anything at all.

🧝‍♂️ Anything I need to clarify?
🧝‍♂️ Missing something minor or major?
🧝‍♂️ Contradictory/Conflicting rules?
🧝‍♂️ Spelling/Grammar mistakes?
🧝‍♂️ A better 'Gore' mechanic?
🧝‍♂️ A suggestion on how to add more horror, desperation & brutality into the game?

Infected by modernity,
gorgons with hair of prehensile, electrified, cables do battle with valkyries whose wings have transformed into jet engines.

The rules are in a very work in progress state but the core 'Play Loop' first draft is complete.

Feeling helpful/generous/interested/nerdy/bored?
I'm working on a tabletop miniatures skirmish game called Mithgore.
It's a game of mythologies doing battle with the creatures that make them up for life-sustaining Wellsprings in the New Land.

I think you'll find, actually, that wet dogs smell great because that's what good wholesome fun smells like.

Absolutely appalling what's happened today at the Manchester synagogue. Healing and positive wishes towards all those affected.

OK, how about this, Website, just remember me on this device forever.

Is social media kind of fueling a growth in main character syndrome? It seems like they're posting on a micro blogging site, but in real life.

I seem to be encountering a lot of people these days who just speak in statements. Mostly about themselves or their opinions on things.
'Conversations' go:
Me: question
Them: statement
Me: question
Them: statement

Repeat until my tolerance goes and finally

Me: also statement
Conversation stops.

I love that it's a political song as well. It's about being a young man in 1980 in a Midlands ravaged by Thatcher's government, unable to get a job in any town, discarded by society, dreams crushed by poverty & thus feeling so desperate you may as well turn to hedonistic crime. Listen to the lyrics.

This is an amazing song. An amazing song. Don't take it for granted because you've heard it a million times. Recognise that it is an amazing song.

I love that dogs have whiskers, they're so pretty, especially in the sunlight.

I'm surprised Monster is 3 seasons deep & they've not done John Wayne Gacy yet, as he was in the first Ryan Murphy Real Life Murderers Universe (RMRLMU) season, Dahmer - Monster: Dahmer - The Jeffrey Monster Story: Dahmer - Jeffrey Monster Dahmer.

Just once in something like Monsters: The Lyle & Erik Menendez Story I wish they'd get pedantic

Lawyer: Because you thought they were going to kill you?

Lyle: No, I knew they were going to kill us.

Lawyer: That's still thinking they're going to kill you, you're just certain in your thought.

In conclusion, I'm still really sad about Ozzy.
