Argad ! társasjáték

Angol leírás

Argad ! is a mix of role-playing game and miniature skirmish game. The first edition was published in 1996.

The rules are devised for 28mm miniatures and work better when a game master (GM) or organiser imagines a scenario and story. They may also be used for 1/72 or 20mm figures.

Our "friendly simultaneous" (no IGOUGO, no initiative) system may seem strange and unfamiliar at first, but is simple and encourages very fast moves and daring actions.

Quick reference sheets include movement, shooting, and melee tables, which can be used easily to play adventures, skirmishes and fights.

Each player is represented by a character: adventurer, warband chief, military officer... accompanied by a small bunch of followers or small troop of warriors... or pirates... or soldiers... (typically 10-30 strong) or by only a handful of companions.

Players are encouraged to imagine that everyone running on the gaming table is really alive (not game pawns) and do not have to face boardgame-minded tactical choices that their characters could not understand. The most efficient tactic, as in true life, is to outnumber the enemy where it's really important; once in contact the dice do the rest ...but the best games happen when players try to delay or to avoid battle as long as possible. The system is so fast-flowing that 5-6 players can do 30-40 game turns and often more in a few hours, this allows many moves, terrain exploration, diplomacy...

The rules may also be used for scenarios where players should collaborate instead of fighting each other (as in more traditional RPGs) in which case their opponents are non-player characters (NPCs) handled by the GM / referee. Such games are often easier to prepare and to run, especially with new players or at a convention.
