Read what was written, buttercup.

You seem more than willing to comment on every single post in this thread, yet you want to accuse others of craving attention.  heh.

Do you have something to contribute?  As I said, for the last week this thread has been your focus.  I'm waiting.

No, really boy- is this your first time using the internet without an adult present?

Anyone have any opinion on Mordheim vs. Frostgrave?  A friend has the Frostgrave book and he's into it.  They seem very similar?

EDIT:  Buh-whaaah...what's the difference between Mordheim, Coreheim and Heroheim, and where should I start?
D&D is becoming Self-Referential.  It is no longer Setting Referential, where it takes references outside of itself. It is becoming like Ouroboros in its self-gleaning for tropes, no longer attached, let alone needing outside context.

I had never heard of Frostgrave, but now I want to learn more. Personally, I think there is a market for a 1 hour skirmish game.

I've seen Frostgrave get a lot of attention of late. Lots of great terrain at GenCon themed for it.

So yeah, there's a market for it.

Not much of a fan of Frostgrave.  If forced to choose between only those two, I would go Mordheim

Pot, this is kettle.  

Seriously, for an entire week your only contributions to this entire site has been to come into this forum and say "I don't care".  I don't know how you define 'trying way too hard' where you're from, but again.

Thank you for having an actual opinion relevant to the topic at hand.  It took you an entire week to come in here and articulate a statement that you don't like a game.

Never heard of Coreheim or Heroheim.

Oh, I can see that.  I just wish he was funnier about it.  I loves me a good funny troll.

Speaking of Trolls:  Couldn't you use one of them in Mordheim?

AFAICT, "Coreheim" is a simplified and rebalanced Mordheim, and "Heroheim" is Coreheim with more emphasis on individual characters.  But they're both fan works and Heroheim appears to have never been finished.

Sounds like a spiritual successor, a bit like Zwei-

(Not that the game looks bad at all, kinda tempted).

Coreheim and Heroheim are fanmade "new editions" of Mordheim online. I would recommend getting the original game first before getting into houserule territory, the same way I'd recommend Red Box D&D before jumping into most of the OSR stuff.

Frostgrave has a similar premise to Mordheim....each player controls a small warband of figures, led by a wizard, treasure hunting in a ruined city. It's far more focused on the magic aspect of the game, and obviously uses a different system than Mordheim. The system seems functional, nothing special but solid. Sometimes that's a good thing. It lacks Mordheim's aesthetics, which for me, were at least 75% of the appeal. Mordheim had a specific feel all its own, drenched in the rich lore of Warhammer but still managing to be its own thing.

Quote from: daniel_ream;921096Is it possible to run Necromunda/Mordheim with generic minis?

I've run it easily with Catachan Imperial guard painted in gang colors, a few 40k chaos cultists, and the generic DIY gang rules. Almost any post-apoc minis will also do.

I'd not looked into this until you described it, then I found this:

... you might have just pointed me in the direction of some good, affordable products inadvertently.

Despite all the fuck you's, I'm kinda glad you contributed at this point.
