First test and Cie

[Silverpaint68]

Hello !

I've tested the game last Friday and it is very good. Easy to play and very interesting.

I'll made a "Festival of RPG" this week end, with some games (Role play, minis, etc...). I'll do demo of Strange Aeons because it's a game easy to aprehend for some people (no dragons, elves or other fantasy.

Playing humans fighting vs "bad cultists", with perhaps one zombi is not difficult.

For the moment, I play with old Necromunda minis (with shotgun and pistols) and Redemptionnists as Cultists (very good choice ). In a few time, I'll buy some other "official" minis.

I've though about something : can we play at modern years (1990 for exemple), like Cthulhu Delta Green ? Maybe...
Just add some weapons (Uzi, Grenades, ...) but not a lot

I think we would need a seperate supplement dealing with modern times - the game as is is very true to the Lovecraftian 1920's universe.

I will say that various members of the Uncle Mike's Worldwide team are working on variations and expansions near and dear to each person's fave genre.

Bizarro Brett will just state that he *hates* the Coppelstone and Artizan Kiss Kiss Bang Bang line, and that I don't have a notebook full of ideas and crazy spy ideas.

Oh, dear... is there no end to miniature lines I have to collect and paint...

Hi,

for my version of SA I use a different Weapon List, special for Delta Green and modern encounters. Maybe a little help for you.

I know, not the best way to post it but I still have a excel document.

Itīs still working with some little modifikation to the game. We use Dexterity increases to balance the weapons as follows:

Dexterity +/- 0 shoting at Targets up to 10"
Dexterity +/- 0 shoting at Targets over 10" with  Weapons that have the Special "Ready"
Dexterity +1  shoting at Targets over 10" (all weapons without the special Ready)
Dexterity +2 shoting at Targets over 10" and more than one attack dice per Action

The Weapons with the special "Ready" in the list use rounds with better balistic properties so itīs easyer to hit even over long distance. When you use more than one attack dice the weapon have an recoil that make it difficult to handle at long distance so the Dex increase by two.

with this modification in the base Range from 10" all match with the Strange Aeons rules, at distances over 10" itīs harder to hit but even a chance to soften up some targets

Without this modificationīs firearms are to strong against the Lurkers.

Those look pretty solid.  I'll have to bring a copy into th garage next time I actually manage to get over there to play games.

@ Wasp : why don't you made a PDF file with your list and give the link in your post ? It could be fine

Thank you for this, i'll try it soon and give you feedback (with my old necromunda gamers, who like it certainly )
