Eladrin-Giant-Dragon Chess Board

I kinda wanna make a really cool version of this, like 3d printed and stuff.

BAHUMIA

Bahumia!

I was thinking about a couple minor tweaks to make this game a bit more robust. Here are my ideas because nobody asked and i'm wasting time at work: - Add one more column so there are three columns instead of two. - Give each player 3 action points per turn which they can use to either Move or Attack with any of their models in any order. - Swap the dragons to only moving one space at a time and spreading their damage across all adjacent models (if an 8 was rolled for damage and there are two enemies in adjacent spaces, those enemies would take 4 damage each) - Change the dragon movement to have a chance (perhaps a 1 on a d4) to pursue the other player's closest target instead of the closest target to the dragon. This would help with dragons focusing down the closest army and simply wiping them out. - Swap the giants to 2d4 instead of 1d8 for a bit more consistently powerful attacks. - When a model makes an attack, any additional allied models in contact with the model being attacked adds 1d3 of additional damage.

The strategy makes so much sense now. I nerd-saw the turns play out and yes, there was no other way. Beautifully played.

Welp, I'm more confused now

This game sort of reminds me of Onitama. Maybe look into that board game to refine the play of this spectacular mini game.

This kind of reminds of that little place called Bahumia

BAHHOOMA!!!

Woah cool

Bahumia!

Genius. Murph for President!

This is the kind of quality content I expect and demand from my premium subscription.

gotta say, comparing this to chess is pretty insulting to chess nerds!

The chess variant that's kind of sweeping the nation. Can't wait for the competitive league championship.

Bahumia!!

Bahumia!

b'humia!

I see how they kept track of the pieces' HP. It's quite brilliant.

BAHUMIA

The craftsmanship of that game board blows my art skills to smithareens. But thankfully, I heard that Murph plans to send official replicas of the game to all PawPaw's Paralegal, and higher, patrons for free...you will just need to supply your own dice!

bAHUMIA

Bahamian!!

Waiting for the official game to drop in the NADDPOD shop.

Bahumia!

Won't be long before Mittens ruins this game for everyone.

I will say, I have such a strong disdain for dice that don’t have the standardised number organisation😅 Like, on nearly all dice, the numbers opposite each other should equal one more than the total sides on the die. For example, the 6 and 1 on a d6 should be opposite each other. The d8 should have the 8 and 1 opposite each other, and so on and so forth. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone care? Bc I see d8s with the 8 and 1 right next to each other and my eye starts twitching

Nice! Very elegant design Murph!

BAHUMIA !

Oooo

Bahumia!

BAHUMIA!

This oozes professionalism and class 🤣 obsessed

BAHUMIA!

How much for this copy?

How does he make it look so effortlessly easy? Truly a DM for the ages.

those are actually dice, hope this helps!

Which side was Eladrin and which was the Giants? I thought the Giants were d10 but could definitely be mistaken

I remember listening to this episode and thinking "How the hell is he making this work in Theatre of the Mind???" Knowing it was a physical thing makes me feel a bit better

Yoooo sick.

using the dice for the hp so you can count down is brilliant

But Murph, what happens if i just fucking summon Exodia: The Forbidden One?

Not in store?

Playing with the dice makes so much sense but never occurred to me when picturing the game

Ah! Gotcha.

First

Can we get a rule set as well?
