Looking more into the rules and lore of Tollyn Maeryn, I absolutely love their scrappy, underdog, militia feel.

I thought it felt familiar, and then I noticed their rhyfles have rhyfle grenades that are similar rifle grenades in Valkyria Chronicles.

Josh has mentioned that Valkyria Chronicles is one of his favorite games- and the first game also follows a militia.

Is this literally the Gallian-inspired faction? 🤣

Gallia, in Valkyria Chronicles, is a neutral nation, >! (and they do fight both opposing super powers in that first game) !< but Maer Braech is a nation that switched sides, which is close enough if you ask me.

This just makes me want a Quar videogame in the style of Valkyria Chronicles even more.

As my group's forever DM, I made this mostly for fun and possibly to spring on one of my players if any of them take a turn in the DM chair.

Feedback welcome.

The Quar of Alwyde are an ornery, anteater-like people who have developed from insect-gathering plains tribes into full-fledged nations.

'Pluck' is ripped directly from the wargame, and is the thing I most want to keep, even if that means removing other features.

'Fury of the Small' was included to reflect their anger, stubborn nature. I considered swapping it for the Halfling's 'Brave', but I didn't want to land too close to the Halfling.

As someone who grew up a Star Wars fan and only read The Inheritance Cycle in my early 20s, it always baffles me when people make this their main argument.

This just came to me and wanted to share. I don't know if someone has posted something similar.

Yamamoto's plan involved taking out the US aircraft carriers and naval fuel depots. The aircraft carriers weren't there and the fuel depots were just... not hit.

It was a white dragon, and the only reason no one died was because he rolled like absolute garbage.

(I do combat rolls in the open, wargame style, to show my players the consequences of their actions and that it's the dice screwing them over... in this case, the dice were screwing me over. 🤣)
