Someone of the discord used the points calculator to make rules for power ranger action figures because his kids were really big on them. He shared the stories of their games. It was all very wholesome and a super nice way to introduce people to the hobby.

I play 40k with OPR, to any 40k veterans out there curious about this, Im a 15 year veteran and just couldn't deal with the rules bloat and having stuff constantly obsoleted anymore. This rule set is absolutely incredible, easy to learn, easy for newer players to grasp, requires less models but can scale to absolutely gigantic battles, gets rid of long downtime by removing the out dated turn system of 40k, and most importantly, Its incredibly fast and fun to play, try it, its free, you might even be able to get your spouse into this like I did.

OPR is everything the hobby needed to transition into the age of 3D printers and democratized information. I am a Patreon supporter and will stay in it as long as they stay in it.

I was a 30-year 40K veteran; I gave up on 40K in 2017 because of the endless rules bloat, supplements, formations, strategems, FAQs, and rule books becoming obsolete within a few months of purchase. One-Page Rules has totally rejuvenated me, and I'm incredibly happy to be able to use my enormous collection of 40K models again in a game that's easy, fun, and fast. Not to mention, OPR's Army Forge list builder is absolutely incredible.

Hey there uncle Atom ! As one of the creators of Army Forge (the list builder of One Page Rules), I just wanted to say a big thanks for the shout-out and the kind words ! I'm really happy that you liked it and that it helps some people to get into the game as it was just a fan project at the beginning.

I'm running a grimdark future tournament tomorrow and we've managed to get full attendance for how many people the venue allows. 40k hadn't achieved this in the last 8 months....People want to play a game you can actually play!

I used to be strictly official rules only for GW minis but one page rule's current iteration is orders of magnitude better at the moment. It just feels so punishing dropping thousands on diverse armies and then getting squeezed by all the bloated supplementals. I recommend anyone jaded with the rules bloat side of GW product check these out (also use your minis for 40k RPG campaigns!)

I'd also mention "quick start sets" that they have for main games. Those come with properly sized paper standees so You don't even need miniatures.

The Army Forge list builder is so much better than anything else I've seen. Without even knowing much about an army I can whip up a decent list in 5-10 minutes and print it all out on one page (including a reference with everything you need to know to run that army). Having 1 sheet of the core rules and another sheet of the army rules makes everything so fast to play.

My son and I tried Grimdark Future for the first time this week and we're hooked. The hardest part is unwrapping your brain from 40k and going in with an open mind. Actually having fun with my GW models felt...odd at first.

OPR seem to have been gaining a lot of traction over the last year on youtube, and it can't be anything but good getting more ppl into wargaming as its a lot more simple and cheaper to get into

Me and a few friends regularly play 1500-2000 point games of Grimdark (once a week or so.) It’s a blast and got us all really into war gaming as a hobby. We all love 40k lore and world-building, but the rules were just detrimental to the most important rule: having fun. We’ve thought about giving third or fourth edition a try, but I think GDF is here to stay for us.

I've been loving OPR lately, and the Point Calculator (The thing that lets you build units and armies for the games) is the biggest reason why.

OPR managed to create such an amazing ecosystem that is is very very player friendly, it is a breath of fresh air from whatever GW makes

Don't forget about their 2D minis! As much as the topic of mini price comes up these days, I really think standees need to be more prominent in this hobby. Not only are they more cost-efficient, they are easier to produce, color, print, replace, and store than metal/resin/plastic 3d painted miniatures. There is also plenty of room to "deluxify" them by having printed plastic sheets or acrylic with different front/back graphics.

I have honestly fallen in love with OPR. Being able to actually enjoy my old Warhammer miniatures is kind of amazing. GW just let a bitter taste with their entire business methods. They are generally very anti-consumer, and priced things so outrageously that I just couldn't support them. I'm now working on printing my first army from Grimdark Future, the Eternal Dynasty, and I got all of the models for it. I'm super excited to finish them and see them on the battlefield

I've been a $10 patreon supporter for over a year now, and I can 100% tell you that it's awesome. the games are super simple but super fun, and I'm more into the painting hobby than wargaming hobby but it's gotten me to be willing to play some really large scale games

I've been a patron of One Page Rules for a year now. I have about three complete armies (and skirmish teams) for BOTH Sci-fi and Fantasy worlds. That's six armies that are as fun and unique to play as 40k stuff. Honestly, for the fantasy stuff, I'm loving the quality and differences in sculpts more. Hands down, Saurians beat Seraphon on sculpts for a direct comparison, but most of the options are going completely unique and that's been super-neat. I'm so glad I took the plunge into the 3D printing side of the hobby. It really brings in a wider scope and restores that sense that this is MY hobby, not some addiction to a particular company's products.

Really enjoying the "Why I Like It" series. I am grateful to you for showing me where I can get into some non-GW games.

Love the aesthetic of the “setting” too. Simple, yet fun should be the goal of any rule set. Dig that Black Cat Fireworks shirt too. It’s an iconic logo!

The amount of drive this group has is truly impressive, and absolutely worth $10 a month. The .stl files themselves are insanely more than worth that price tag, but you also have access to a variety of cool rules that let you really enjoy your models the way you want to!

I'm in the process of printing my Jackal army, and I can't stress enough what a good deal the Patreon is. Over 2 months I've received a whole army with more than 10 unit types and some huge beasts. That's Just the Jackals. I also got the files for Space Lizards and Demons this month (I think some a spaceships too). Plus the level 2 subscribers have a 70% discount code for older models from the Myminifactory store. The value for money is insane.

omg, I just got my roommate into wargaming via OPR, specifically Grimdark Future Firefight. Its the perfect version of kill team to me.

I am currently getting people into tabletop via the OPR rules, which is very nice because now I can use all my models from different systems AND they are super simple. So far it is a huge success and the freedom gave me my hobby passion back. I plan on getting a 3D printer to get an Warhammer Araby army and already created an army list via the point software (and some cross-referencing with the Human faction). OPR is really awesome and everyone should give it a try!

OPR was a life saver for my game nights. I struggled to get my friends into Kill Team, but the moment we tried Firefight we had multiple games running in no time at all and everyone was laughing and having a great time. Highly recommend giving it a go! Also Adam, OPRs presupported files are top notch - get that printer up and running already! It won't even take you an afternoon to plug it in, level the bed and run a calibration print to dial in your exposure time. Then just throw those OPR presupported files at it and you'll be pumping out new minis every few hours.

I only recently gave OPR a look ...in particular their 'Firefight' game - and now I'm excited to be making sci-fi terrain again, and I'm finally splashing some paint on some of the 40K models that I've had lying around for years! I suppose that says it all really :D (I'm also wondering if it would be possible to hack the rules to make some kind of space hulk / zombiecide cooperative game... hmmm...)

OPR is going places by giving ease of access. It's easy to teach new players if they only have to think about one page. Then IF they want more you can apply more then if they want the works they have apply that. That's so much better than dropping a big book full of rulings that end up either not working, unused, ignored, etc. The way you get new players is by cheaper and faster while allowing growth at THEIR pace.

I really love the systems, especially the skirmish versions as that's my preferred play style. The great thing about it is that if you learn one version of the skirmish game, or the fully army game, you've basically learnt the other version as well as they use the same "engine" across both fantasy and sci-fi. The other great thing is that they play so quickly that you can easily get multiple games in during a single session. If you're into the 3d printing side of things then they're also one of the best value Patreons out there providing units for both fantasy and sci-fi each month, generally it takes about 3 months to get the complete army list of units, as well as fleets for their starship battle game. They also provide faction specific terrain and objectives. The discord and facebook groups are very active, so much so that you're unlikely to keep on top of all the different discussions that are going on. I'd highly recommend them to anyone and since I introduced it to my local club it's become one of the main games we play with a game running at least once a month.

OPR is all of my favorite things combined: 40k, lightweight rules, and art by Brandon Gillam.

OPR is very easy to pick up and use, I have convinced almost everyone in my games group to join us and now we have multiple games on the go. Fully support and agree that they need a huge shout out for there work.

One Page Rules got me back playing Wargames again after nearly a decade without a game. Simple, easy to teach, and free. Ended up buying a whole pile of stuff to play with and making a load of sci fi and fantasy terrain. Really grateful to the creators and hopeful that others can enjoy a low hassle low cost intro to wargaming.

My little group are playing Grimdark at the moment. Definitely a breath of fresh air really. We're also printing 28mm figures at 60%, or Epic scale figures at about 250% of their size to play at 15mm. This is a massively better scale for playing, and you can assemble a very good looking army for very cheap. One Page Rules are releasing far better quality STL's too nowadays! Well worth supporting them at T2! Their pre-supported files, actually don't need resupporting if you size them down to 60% either!

OPR has been the answer to gaming with my son without breaking the bank or my fragile mind with rules bloat. Grimdark Future for rules, plus my old 40k armies, plus fluff from old Codices equals allot of fun!

Love OPR. As you say, its the future of wargaming as 3D home printing becomes increasingly commonplace

A friend introduced me into 1PR a couple of years back and it’s now our go-to ruleset/system. More fun, more games, less headaches trying to recall which book a certain rule or effect is buried in. If you’ve not checked them out, do so! :)

Grimdark future is as close to Warhammer as I'll ever get. It also prompted me to sell all of my official Warhammer models and just 3d print all of my stuff. Best decisions I ever made.

Joining the Onepagerules patreon and starting this game was the smartest and best decision of my hobby life. I haven't had that much fun playing a tabletop game in years, nay, decades. Honestly, the old magic fever that drove me into this whole thing when I was a mere boy is there now back again. I didn't think this was even possibly. I'm aware that this sounds like exaggerated praise for this company, but it is how I genuinly feel. They gave me back the joy of the hobby.

Nine years after mi first One page 40k game (2014), I really enjoy returning to this system. The list builder and the flow of the game is great.

I played it recently. And the alternating movement alone is night and day of enjoying the game.

I'm glad you are bringing light to OPR.

I’d thoroughly recommend Firefight and Fantasy Skirmish. The basic rules are excellent on their own but if you sign up to Patreon you get access to the advanced rules (32 pages long) which offer some interesting options.

Very much appreciate the trouble you take to talk about new games. It's a valuable service.

OPR became my main game/s after finally giving up on GW games, after 30+ years, but still having a huge collection of models. It's also the best game for teaching younger players as it's just so accessable, my son's 7-12 love it but has enough tactical dept to still engage me at 44.

Had my first game of fantasy skirmish last Saturday, lost, but had fun. And for a first time playing it went very smooth.

My friends and I have played Warstuff many MANY times. LOVE them. We've even tweaked the rules a bit. They are great. Lego men, Plastic bugs, Dinosaur Erasers, whatever!

Their rules are awesome and their STLs are above and beyond that. Some of the best prints in the business today.

Have always loved OPR. Was able to teach my family for a great evening game. Also great that you can easily use all your figs. No massive rule book to sift through. People have also created OPR armies for battle tech, Warmachine, all kind of companies work with the OPR system.

Wiley Wargames out of the US are also producing some great simple rules which you can use for 40K, Fantasy, Star Wars Legion etc.

Thank you. This has been a really good education, and I can see me exploring One Page Rules much more closely. This looks like a great alternative to GW rules, meaning I can start to think about reducing shelf space, by switching over to OPR.

I perked up at the point you made with the leg up when you alternate unit activations. That's actually super smart and keeps the game going rather than one player waiting until the other finally moved all of his giant swarm army. And the leg up you get for going first after some of your units have been killed off is also a very interesting mechanic.

The alternating turns is what I loved about the first edition of kill team. I loved that ruleset.

I’ll check out the sci-fi skirmish rules if they’re a slicker version of Kill Team then all the better!

One page rules is fantastic, and i'm so glad you did a video on it. Simplified rules make it a blast to play. I mainly paint, but it's nice to break out the terrain and have some quick battles form time to time. I'm a 5 dollar patreon and i couldnt be happier with the extra rules and builder they have available there. Highly recommend, it took 15 minutes to teach my friend. took longer to build my list than to learn the rules

My club has moved over to OPR. I went up the loft ladder and quite literally blew the dust off of the army boxes where my Death Guard minis have been languishing for many years. Dragon Rampant had a similar effect on our Fantasy minis. GW has nobody to blame but themselves.

I love these kind of videos! Tabletop games getting their own spotlight. We need more of this. I'd love to see something on Silver bayonet, Bolt action and Stargrave

I just jumped into OPR and there is so much there. Quick, easily taught games for skirmish or army size and scifi and fantasy that are also mechanically the same so if you learn one game you can play the others. It's very cool and it's got me interested in army sized scifi games for the first time in a long time

I have kept and still play (skirmish) with the first 40k Starter Set (Space Marines and Orcs / Gretchin) I bought back in around 1999 / 2000 (into Kill Team as well now). It actually has "1 page of rules of Battle " - covering the Battle basics including model stats / capabilities etc, all you need to play, with the 3 preceding pages covering miniature assembly and explanations of "movement, attack, shooting etc". So eady to follow and play without spending hours searching through "Warhammer Tomes" for rules etc, just a single, one-sided page to reference if needed. Quick, fun skirmish games either solo or with a friend. Love your many intersting videos - thanks.

Me and my mate played Grimdark Furture Firefight for the first time last Friday. We loved it and its going to be one of our staple miniature wargames 😀

I’ve been an OPR Patreon for over a year now and it just keeps getting better and better! Highly recommend, especially for those looking to get into wargaming or 3D printing. I would honestly recommend starting here with the rules even if you plan to start Warhammer. The models may take a full edition to prepare, paint, etc

Can't wait for the new rules set from you guys. Your Reign in Hell rules and style of the game was inspired.

Hurray you did OPR!! I love OPR so much!!!

Excellent video, and long overdue! Been playing OPR for almost two years now and even got my 3D-printer because of them.

Gotta look into using my KT Octarius box in OPR, got it painted and everything, but fall asleep reading the rules 😅

I like the "Why I like it" graphic.

OPR has amazing STLs in terms of quality and *quantity*. The amount of models you get each month is a steal compared to most other patreons (you get double the models basically). This past month they even included a new set of models; usually it is Lizard and Jackal/Gnoll models but this month they included demons which are great for Reign in Hell. Love their content. Highly recommend the rules and the models.

Superb video, love the humor, sincerity & concise explanation of everything regarding one page rules! 😊👍

I am new to the wargaming scene and earlier this month started to checkout 40k and the dark angels. Lore is awesome, figures are cool, the lion has returned, abilities are cool, and I have a 3d printer. Then I started to look at the rules and do more research into casual play beginner friendly play and I didnt really find it, but now im slowly thinking I will play some OPR with community supplements.

YES! Please help the world to know that they don't have to be slaves to the endless line of books and pamphlets that GW pumps out

love these rule sets, and love your support of them!

Uncle Adam keeps bringing up One Page Rules and I keep meaning to check them out. Now I finally will make time to check it out

Minor correction; the gang wars Necromunda-type game is an add-on to GF Firefight, not a stand-alone game. It works just fine with every faction in GFF, not just the Gangers, so you can have a "gang war" between the not-tyranids and the not-necrons if you want.

My gaming group and I had started to not enjoy 40k and the games and get togethers had really dropped off. We tried OPR last month, and everyone is now enjoying the entire hobby again. We love this rule set, and I don’t see us going back to 40k rules anytime soon.

Thanks's for this! I really apercate you leting more people know about the little guys who are doing it right! And we do need more games with One page rules like rules sets that have short rules.

So awesome to see you going into depth on OPR! As someone with enough complexity in life, having a simple, non 'meta' system available for playing games is wonderful. I am now signed up on Patreon and have printed out 10mm versions to play on a kitchen table (convert inches to cm) - super easy to deploy and store. Would love to see a batrep!

I checked out One Page Rules thanks to you. I really like the different rule sets and being able to play with any models is really cool

Having been a 40k player for almost 25 years. (Collected smurfs,nids,SoB,orks,necrons and knights and a sizeable HH mechanicum army from FW! In that time) I got sick of the bloated requirement for buying new rulebooks,codexes,mission books ect.ect.ect for every edition every 3 years or so. on top of that the price gouging gw inflict on us. Especially for FW!! Ive recently d/l'd the grimdark future basic rules .. and their awesome.. defo joining the patreon once my new printer arrives.. and with the money imngonna save not buying gw products new anymore will go along way to buying the occasional figs i do want 2nd hand from ebay (because credit where it's due,they do make some fantastic sculpts!)And plenty of resin for all those sweet stl's sitting on my H.drive And given the absolute level if gaslighting from GW over their pandering to amazon.. not a moment to soon.. bye bye GW!! (P.s. the my minis factory are super cheap for ready printed models as well.. about 60£ for approx 34-38 model "starter" sets of figures from their "official" figures . That absolutely blows GW's prices out of the water! ) and every month theres a different starter set of stls to grab.. thats a great starter army every month for (including resin costs )for about 25£ !!!

Your video is jam-packed and fun-filled with great information. thank you!

I love your WHY I LIKE IT series!

I know a few people after playing OPR saying they'll never go back to GW 40k ruleset again

Been a supporter for the past three years. Slowing converting all my Black Templars over to Grimdark Future with their online calculator.

I started a very small local group playing OPR and finally having a laugh and a good time again wargaming. 40k gives me a massive headache, literally. We started with GDF and now play 300 pt Fire Fight games with three players at the same time. And we’re having a blast! Very good starting point to get into the hobby of wargaming. Thanks for the vid!

I love OPR! I've been a patron for almost a year now. I just filmed my first and second battle report this weekend using the Grimdark Future ruleset. Super easy for casual, fun games.

This is a great series! Keep it up! "Why I like it" is great for getting to know some new games I haven't played yet.

This was a far better explanation of the structure of OPR games (core rules, basic, advanced) than their website provides. Thank you!

sounds awesome, I have a great interest in streamlined rules, especially the ones that that still feel like I'm progressing in the game.

@tabletopminions dont forget they also have a cults3d page filled with free fully supported minis perfect for anyone wanting to try out there minis. When i first started printing these files were my go to and always printed right

Using age of fantasy skirmish as a stand in for army combat in my Pathfinder game, each model representing roughly 100 soldiers. Makes it really simple, especially compared to the Pathfinder system for the same thing.

What made me a fan of OPR is that it's miniatures agnostic and the army lists for Grimdark Future and GdF Firefight let me play my Star Wars Legions armies against 40K - Stormtroopers vs Orcs, Necrons or Eldar, or Rebel Alliance vs Tyranids, Death Korps, or Space Marines and have a really fun feeling game

I'm a $10 supporter and I HIGHLY recommend upping your level. You get 50+ minis a month and new armies every three or four months. I just got the War Demons and the Saurian Starhost. I am STOKED to continue to build warbands for Age of Fantasy Skirmish and now Grimdark Future Firefight.

Worth mentioning that they have a rank and file version of fantasy just in case you want to dust off the old warhammer fantasy miniatures on the square bases. I really like the FTL space battle game though. Super excited for some changes that are coming down the line to expand it a bit.

Wyloch's Armory has an awesome playlist of OPR games

OPR rocks. Warstuff is absolutely my low-rules gateway to getting my 7 year old into wargaming! When he is able, we'll move up to the full OPR rulesets, which are AWESOME. I have loved OPR nearly since they first existed, when units only had one Quality stat, no separate Defense at all. I'm speaking to the local wargaming group to play a Mordheim-style setting using the Age of fantasy skirmish, with the campaign add-on rules.

Whoa, thanks for the summary. I am familiar with them but didn't realize the extent of their offerings. That force builder sounds... Amazing

My play group has been playing OPR for over a year now and we love it. It's simple, it's fun and you can go complete crazy with army designs (visually) because it doesn't have that tournament background. I play Firefight and painted up so many teams now with very different playstyles... I love it. We play regiments in 10mm ... cheap, fast and great fun to play!

I'm glad I joined their Patreon when I did. I'm in love with their Duchies of Vinci and Eternal Dynasty armies.

Excellent review- will be checking this out thanks!

Been hoping one page rules get more traction on youtube. Can't think of a better advocate 👍

Their 3D printed models are head and shoulders above so much even from big companies. I've printed a lot of their mummified undead line, and the models beat GW's old Tomb Kings for both detail and dynamics.

I think their biggest value is in the army lists that let you drop your 40k/AoS armies in directly. There’s a lot of free/cheap rules out there that are let down by that you need to do a lot of work to figure out stats for your troops. The rules themselves are simple but functional pared down versions of rules you may or may not know. E.g. one of the rulesets is pretty much Arty Conliffe’s Crossfire with the serial numbers filed off (with zero attribution or acknowledgement, of course).

They are a very forward thinking company. I really enjoy the work they are doing.
