Solo and Co-Op Dungeon Crawl Rules A2

So I've been spending a bit more time with my Dungeon Crawl rules (which need a proper name, suggestions?)  And I have made some alterations.  I am ditching the d10 and going to a d6 as the extra granularity didn't really do anything.  All successes are measured on a 4+, there may be certain special abilities or items that alter this rule, reducing the number needed.  I have expanded the stats slightly, and renamed them, so you'll see Level, Movement, Strength, Dexterity, Will, Armor, and Health.  This lets me give everyone a Dexterity and Will value for purposes of letting certain effects have dex checks and the like.  So to determine if a figure will have Ranged attacks or Magic attacks you'll have to look for the special abilities that state that.  I am working hard to ensure that most special attacks have very concise wording.  I am also trying to come up with a rough idea of how many treasures you can have in your deck.  Meaning that some monsters will have no treasure.  One option is that when you kill a monster you have to roll to find it's treasure, another is that some will simply state no treasure. I am leaning towards rolling to see if you get the treasure as it means it will be easier to balance the Encounter Deck.

Here is the same monster card in both Chibi form and normal fantasy (Pathfinder)

I'm gonna keep rolling a bit, I am fairly happy with the stat cards as they are right now.

Modular 3x3 Terrain Board

So I had the incredible urge to try a new bit of terrain, this is a 3x3 board made of 4 1.5' panels.  I should not it is far from complete, but you can get the overall premise from this.  The bridge tile and the blank tile need a lot of work, the other 2 need detailed.  Obviously I haven't messed with painting or anything yet.  So far total expenses are about $15-$20 as all it is is Pink board and Hot Glue.  I will be attempting to keep it that way.

1/400 Scale Gundam Rules

So I've had piles of these little Gundam figures floating around for a long while.  I have tried to use a few rules sets with them and not found anything I appreciated.  So as a quick concept set, I worked out these rules.  They allow for a pretty flexible game, units moving too and fro into and out of cover.  Figures do not have to activated in any order and nothing will stop you from abusing your primary figures over and over (save their slow demise as they drain out of power)  The rules are rather rough being written in a single pass.  Also what stat cards are done are very erratic, so proxy or write your own cards up.  My only concern to date is that the DV's values may currently be too low causing the game to be too slow. 

Give them a whirl and let me know.

Ultramodern City - Prototype

I started working on an Ultramodern city for playing Relic Knights and whatever else on.  I am trying to avoid the city rubble look that tends to plague gaming.  I am building it mostly with foamcore, cardstock and clear plastic page dividers.  There are obviously going to be detaily parts which are going to be more expensive, but for now, I have spent less than $10 and have fundamentally constructed for over 15 (4"x6") buildings, 6 (12"x12") floor tiles, and am less than half way through my supplies. 

Here is a quick glance at two stacked structures.

The intent is to build a bunch of these and a handful of key detail structures.  Any structures with windows will have interiors designed as well.  Most interiors will be glued to old gift cards that have been detailed out with chairs and such.  Some walls will feature mounted screens and the like.  I am endeavoring to make this as simple a project as possible and keep it cheap.  Though I did just buy a police box for my wife to hide and a set of arcade machines (which will be detailed as Super Dungeon Explore arcades) to be positioned throughout the town. I'll be adding some vending machines and other fun things too.

My Wife's Blog

Ok, here is the deal, this is a link to my wife's new blog.  I am going to say this totally upfront, it is entirely about sex.  So, send your girlfriends and wives over to read it, they'll likely find it pretty interesting.

Yes, my wife is nuts.

Caverns of Roxor - Super Dungeon Explore Expansion

One of my purchases from Gencon was the expansion for Super Dungeon Explore, the Caverns of Roxor.  Naturally I've been busting my butt to get it all painted as soon as I could.

While there is a little bit left, the majority of it is right here.

I painted all the Fire Flow Denizens with UV sensitive paints.  I'll be embedding black light LED's into some of my future terrain.
