I was wondering how that worked desu.
>>98106584
Rural is more of a landscape than an era.
They certainly have cities and manufactories, England during and after the industrial revolution was still mostly rural.

Ancestors willing.

It's not some cyberpunk setting. Unless you're some kind of Hong Kong place you have large areas of rural.

It was the 1920 US census when it flipped that there were more urban people than rural for the US.

Apparently Qualtieri originally envisioned the Quar inhabiting more of a science-fiction setting.
Over time, it seems he decided he preferred the smell of diesel, and the lingering remnants of old-world nicety.

The coftyr sharpshooter spotter, when it says the spotter is assigned to another rhyfler, is it just one guy he's permanently attached to, or can he bounce around if you have multiple sharpshooters? And is the spotter worth taking?

>The coftyr sharpshooter spotter, when it says [[While gathering your Patrol this rhyfler is assigned to another specialist with the same Profile name]] is it just one guy he's permanently attached to, or can he bounce around if you have multiple sharpshooters?
As written they are a team that are paired at force creation so can not bounce.
>And is the spotter worth taking?
They let you reroll the highest die (roll under game) in a sharpshooter shooting action roll so it can turn a failed roll to a success. This is only at the cost of the spotters limit of one combat action per turn. The Sharpshooters Dead-eye/Aimed Shot cost a Pluck. So the spotter ability use is for all purposes free.
Worth is based on the tactics/play style you're planning to use.

Never played it as a RPG but between contraptions, airships, and machineguns Quar comes across as Space 1889 + silly.

It does really have a Castle in the Sky vibe, I agree.Given what Mr Quar said about the setting having certain mysteries it may be closer to that than we think. An ancient super weapon would explain that weird ass extra storm season they can activate.

I'm laughing my ass off now. Looking like the royals of Coftyr are named after Cedric and Cyril Sneer, two of the aardvark from the Raccoons cartoon.

Did anybody actually get fingered for the Sleevish embassy bombing in Solvik?
The fire spread to The Banana Roach pub and boarding house, and the cellar boy was treated for smoke inhalation.
To say nothing of the Sleevish ambassador and his Entourage, who were blown to bits upon entering the state car.
The valet was found trussed up in a compost bin in a residential allotment.

What exactly are the Tollyn Maeryn Pykpluckers? The name makes me think they capture enemy pykpyks with a butterfly net or something but there was some fluff blurb I read that made it seem they were like standard pykpyk handlers so I'm confused

Probably a way to replenish a squirrel handler's pykpyk squirrels once they're used up... Given how many low-skill units are in the tollyn maeryn, it would be pretty good to have.

The so-called "Arnyarans" claim to be the rightful inheritors of a large stretch of already inhabited arable land in Creevin, they call "Aber" and claim conveniently to be descended from the Quar of Old Arnyara, driven into inhospitable Western Arnyara by their "Cruel Oppressors", this providing these USURPING GYPSY BANDITS a convenient narrative to chase honest Creevish off their land.

It might not be the most all-encompassing, but the War of the Tall Hats PDF on the Maebwysh and Ergydwir models on zombiesmith is a fun read. I'm hoping to have some of the Ergys printed soon
Also rhyfler.com was recently updated with all the old rulebooks mostly available for free, which all have some great stuff in them.

The bitter pill to swallow is that all Creevish are just truly scum of the lowest order. When all of your neighbors want to invade you, it's you who did something wrong. Even their dowager whore is coordinating attacks on the Creevish while taking foreign dick.

Mr Q on multiple occasions stated his dad is a historical wargamer and how he got started gaming. Half of Mr. Q's shelves are military history books. Memoirs, diaries, and interviews are often used primary sources for covering a history topic. He has stated one thing he tries to do is have his books mimic Osprey books, he has a shelf of them.

Well the setting is basically ersatz first world war, with approximate technology levels, and a big damn war on.
So you could run any sort of plot that would make sense for earth during WWI.
There are regions of instability across Alwyd, and even relative backwoods where you could run Quar-ified pulp adventures, though since Alwyd has only a single known continent, there are unlikely to be tribes of primitive Quar surviving to the modern day.

>>98143079
Those are bumpkins, the difference between bumpkins and primitives is that one can hotwire the engine on a combine harvester, and the other hasn't yet gotten over the novelty of dancing round a sacrificial pit in animal skins.
However, neither are likely to have indoor plumbing.

Considering taking my previous statement that there are unlikely to be tribes of "Primitive" Quar to this day under revision.
Kryst is a large desert area, and may contain tribes of Quar equivalent to "Bedouin", though calling them "Barbarians" might be a stretch, "Warlike Nomads" might be accurate.
I presume the Inischol islands are close to the equatorial zone, as nearby Coftyr is known to be tropical in the south, these could be densely forested and host to tribal Quar in the interior.
There are also what appear to be arctic islands off the coast of Sleevin, and Alwyd could have an icecap home to some sort of Eskimo-like Quar.
Also, there are broad expanses of rural Alwyd, particularly on the fringes of the continent, where the locals may live essentially pre-industrial lifestyles, though that is a way of life that will be slowly coming to an end.
There are probably a few "Frontier" zones left by the current era of petrol engines and powered flight, but they will be changing rapidly, and maybe vanishing entirely, which can be a plot hook of it's own.

So, base values for "Patrols" vary.
Coftyran patrol total value: 258: seven rhyflers, one machinegunner, yawdril and milwer
Fidwog patrol total: 235: four rhyflers, yawdril and milwer, one Fynyrdhad scout tractor
Crusader patrol total: 273 yawdril and milwer, three ryshi rhyflers, five bogen rhyflers
What units would you add first to bring them up to 300 points respectively?
Vehicles are probably the most direct upgrade, but an anti-tank squad would be a direct counterpick to that.
>>
File: toulmore.png (441.2 KB)
>>98152933
Interestingly Toulmore's basic squad setup is 26 points overbudget
But to fill out coftyr at least I include a few sharpshooters and their yawdryl in place of three rhyflers which brings it to an even 300. And a bike cook for crusaders
