Holy poo poo I am stealing the gently caress out of this image, because there are too many uses for it

Game good and strongly interesting despite me having trouble understanding the rules for flight on a first pass. More thoughts to follow but more 30 Years Wars should start from someone throwing the new emperor out a window.

More thoughts to follow but more 30 Years Wars should start from someone throwing the new emperor out a window. The best advice I can give for understanding the flight rules is to just try running a dogfight--even if you just "run" it for yourself, with a single PC plane vs. a generic NPC. The air combat system in Flying Circus is heavily interconnected, and it's really hard to grok how it all fits together (both in terms of the moves interacting with each other and with the actual airplane stats) by just reading all the moves. Also, if you click the Plane Builder Link on any of the planes in the aircraft catalogue, there's an Interactive Dashboard option at the top of the page that pulls up an editable version of the instrument panel that pre-calculates a lot of the math for you, which can be a big help. I think the only thing it doesn't handle are the rules for altitude effects on p. 56 of the core.

I've created a Tabletop Simulator mod that contains working sheets for Flying Circus. It uses tokens instead of pointers for altitude and speed, since TTS can be finnicky with pointers Link To The Mod

Also, a question that pops into my head sometimes: has anyone made a space dogfighters hack of FC? It's probably the best dogfight system I've ever read by a mile so it seems like a great base but if someone has already done that or it's already a future project then it seems pointless to duplicate the effort.

I'm not sure the system would work in space, since it's centered around gravity and the tradeoff of speed vs altitude vs turning.

Oh, for sure, it's absolutely not a hard space sim, but star-wars-y space fights where for some inexplicable reason people are ducking, weaving and diving? I think it'd be fine there. You'd just have to rename altitude to potential or something. Or, don't! Keep it altitude! Space is basically just a WW2 naval battle, right? We know which way is up because it's where all the ships are oriented towards.

Anyone got any idea of how to hack this for Battletech? I want an alternate for ATOW that that I don't have to give those thieving bastards over at catalyst money for.

I have a friend who is working on a Star Wars hack specifically that looks amazing, I helped in a few places like coming up with mechanics for shields that feel like the ones in the movies.

I'm having a pretty hard time finding a place to ask this so I'll do it here. Does the Farmer Move "You came in that thing?" disable the Worker move "Old Reliable"? quote:You Came in That Thing?: After you’ve flown a plane three times, you can roll on the Used chart and take the penalty. In exchange, select another of the penalties and apply its inverse. Restoring the plane to New doesn’t remove the advantageous modifications. quote:Old Reliable: After 3 Routines in the same plane, without it being modified or upgraded, the plane gains +8 Toughness and +3 Reliability. This is once per plane, and the bonus is removed if the plane is modified. It doesn't say it's a modification or an upgrade but there's disagreement in the group about whether it disables it or not.

Just chiming in to say the game looks amazing, I have my physical copy and am trying desperately to trawl up enough people for a game (such is life). Is there something wrong with me if I admit I had an easier time wrapping my head around this gameplay than any other PBA?

Love to see experimental forms of ground transport that are just as weird as experimental planes.
