A strategy game reference?
Since the battle is about to be joined, and before I get too confused, is there a reference for strategy games similar to d20srd.org? Even for this old gamer, having a reference to check has been useful at times for OOtS. Since I've never played a turn-based game such as Erfworld, I fear I may at some point get a little lost.
Just wondering if anybody knew of such a reference.
Cheers.

Re: A strategy game reference?
Given that we have no clue what system he is using (it appears to be one that Parson made up), there is no form of reference I can think of. If you run across any unexplained things, though, you can always ask.

Re: A strategy game reference?
It doesn't appear necessarily to be one Parson made up, but it is probably a unique system. All you we really know is that it is turn-based and point-based, there are heavy-type units and flying-type units, and each unit represents an individual (as in a game like Warcraft, but turn-based), not an army (as in Civilization). The closest I can think of is Warlords, but in Warlords cities did not have tactical maps to fight on, while Gobwin Knob clearly has a tactical map... i.e. you can get in close and see what every unit does, it is not averaged out for the whole army.

No, I'm fairly sure this is the world that the guy has spent 6 months or whatever creating.
*can't be bothered to go back and check figures*

Re: A strategy game reference?
Perhaps we'll get a better idea of the game mechanic in the official Erfworld wiki Rob mentions here.
