At last we no longer need to fiddle with Roll20 to play Audatia. Now all decks and the armor and German expansions are available for anyone with Tabletop Simulator to play for free!

It's in the OP, but here too: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=904774480
Guy Windsor even wrote about the mod on his blog. http://guywindsor.net/blog/2017/04/audatia-online-free-tabletop-simulator/
Guy gave his permission to upload the mod, so this is effectively the official Audatia mod.

I used to think Tabletop Simulator was a gimmicky program and not very good, but then I got it on sale for half price and it turns out it's actually very good. It regularly has meaningful updates; just yesterday it got an update bringing it to 64-bit.

If you're at all interested in the game, please check out the link and download it.

What exactly did he do?

>>52728522
Burnt churches and stabbed one guy to death

>>52728522
Stabbed a guy like a hundred times. He claims the guy was plotting to kill him and attacked him, but it's not clear how much veracity that one has. I'm not sure where the vitriol comes from--he is a criminal, but he isn't like an especially gruesome one. I don't think about him any more than any other murderer.

>>52728740

Hey nerds, what's the all-around best spear in game for everything?

>>52729779
Half-Pike.

>>52729779
Arming spear is the good reliable simple stick. Poleax's can be used as a spear, and are very versatile, but short for a spear. Spontoon/Halfpike are late era but pretty solid all around.

>>52729779

Do you guys think that a Cinquedea with a custom tight grip would simulate a Katar well?

>>52736363
Make it something you can use some of the unarmed maneuvers with.

>>52735936
As far as I know it's just that the school mechanics are supposed to change. I didn't see any actually new ones

>>52736363
Also make thrust better and slash shitter.

>>52736401
I feel like 7(+2p) is already good enough, the only thing I'd change is increase STN by one

Apparently there's quite a variety of lengths and hand protections available, ranging from 12-35 inches of total length(H-S), and from the later two-bar handle(1-2) to earlier clamshell and pata-like hand guards(3-4). Likewise, the type of blade can be quite different, from a cut down broken backsword blade to a cinqueda like wide blade to narrower blades for piercing mail and even flammard style blades which were popular in southern India.

So Armet or Salet? I just can't decide guys.

>>52743327
Sallet.

>>52742522
And the pop-out blades which I've seen claimed as useful for parrying.

SEARING ENIGMA TUESDAY

Kralchester, capital of the Krajina in Albion, is a city that has grown steadily upwards over time. The city is regularly flooded, and most buildings were supported by large pilings to elevate them over the water. However, these pilings are public property, and extend far above most of the original layer of buildings, and thus could be built upon without permission from those living below by anyone with money to purchase ground. Over time the pilings have been raised, and at this point, Kralchester extends nearly a hundred feet above the ground. Most of the upper levels are crudely built shanties, connected by rope bridges or planks, and only recently has a new "top" level been reserved for the building of respectable establishments by the local government.

The lower levels have become increasingly difficult to navigate and sanitize, a patchwork of ever-shifting ropes, lean-tos and shanty-buildings, populated by uncountable masses of criminals, vagrants, and worse--Zells.

This territory, below the gleaming surface, is called "Old Kralchester." The Kralguard rarely venture into the miserable underground, preferring to hire local criminal gangs to patrol it for them and keep some semblance of order. Recently, however, word has come that parks of Old Kralchester have "gone dark." They have simply ceased to exist, replaced by emptiness. A black pit with no bottom. Parts of the lowest levels vanished first, but it has slowly grown. People light torches on the outskirts of the pit, and watch them for whatever dark forces is excavating the heart of the city, but every so often an outpost vanishes, and the darkness spreads.

Over it all, Kralchester Tower looms, hundreds of feet above the town. Queen Dahaka has taken a personal interest in the corruption of her city, and has put calls out for investigators skilled in the study of the paranormal...

>>52766992
Jimmy, King's got his band of hunks, right? Does he have a second in command or anything like?

>>52767156
The second position in King's band is constantly in flux, as the only metric of authority any of them respect is strength. Particularly strength at arms.

For a long time, his presumed second has been a man called Duke (King calls him "Grin") who is said to be one of his better students.

King's men are drawn largely from bands of brigands, thugs and bandits. King normally recruits these men by beating up their leaders and forcing them to join him. It is common knowledge that should any of King's men be able to defeat him, they would become leader of the band. Thus far, this has never happened.

Oh those crazy 19th century Brits.

>>52774011
It's a trend touched upon in several of Easton's videos but you do have to wonder just what European swordsmen were thinking with not properly sharpening their swords and especially using scabbard that actively blunted blades.

It's one thing for units at home or otherwise on "safe" deployments to be laxer about such things but it does seem that there was a wider trend during the 18th/19thC for soldiers to not take basic care of blade edges.

>>52774481
Well, at least when it comes to Japan, I can kind of see that; for most purposes that WOULD have been a "safe" deployment.

It does also amuse me, in the face of all the modern memes about shit steel and pic related, that nearly all primary sources of outsiders looking at Japanese swords consider them to be swords of excellent quality and capability.

>>52774997
Matt touched on that in the video; there's an anecdote by a guy who didn't like revolvers about an incident where a Japanese guy was shot twice in the chest but still managed to kill two men with his sword before dropping dead.

>>52775188
That's because by that time swordsmanship, and all infrastructure that catered to it, was preety much dead in europe. While japs were still, or maybe even more during the shogunate than in earlier warring states, obsessed with samurai and swordsmanship.
Westerners would imo had the same reactions, and opinions were they transported back in time to renaissance or medieval europe. You know when the swords were actually sharp and propelry cared and used on battlefield.

>>52775386
Well, even sources from earlier than that paint similar pictures. People back in the 1610s were quite impressed with the blades carried by Hasekura Tsunenaga and his entourage.

>>52775216
The Viet Cong would often get shot by 5.56 two or three times without stopping or even knowing they were hit. Tiny thrusts or projectiles don't stop people.

>>52775807
Yeeeep.

>>52775807
Can Ballad model this? Dare we dive into the world of overpentration?

>>52776153
I think it handles it incidentally by having damage and AP as separate stats. High AP but low damage bullets doing low level wounds may be fluffed as overpenetration.

>>52775188
Most of the "katana is shit" is a direct response to decades of complete overhype of the power of katana.

>>52777404
Which is really just as dumb, if you think about it. Meet stupidity with truth, not opposite-flavored stupidity.

We (kind of?) did in that Kane & Ivan machinegunned a crowd of them once as cover for an assassination.

It's much more of a Ballad thing time period wise, but representing it in SoS would be ez.
