It's been quiet on this blog. I just haven't had any gaming inspiration.
But that may be changing because of this.
Rules
I've been looking for rules. Not that I'm going to use them as is. I will likely use a modified version of my Micro Battles for the actual game. I'm really looking for a campaign mechanism, otherwise games feel kind of stale after a while.
Right now, I'm focused on Five Klicks from the Zone.
I don't have any miniatures to play the game. I thought about getting some, but then I quickly realized that they would end up sitting unpainted on a shelf.
I could use Meeples. Even the smallest ones, however, seem a bit large for the small boards I use. I'd like something more in a 6mm scale.
Now I am pondering homemade, top-down counters. These will be easy to create, easy to store, and I can make them generic so they can do duty in other genres.
Stay tuned for more!
Good luck with your efforts Kevin. I know you’re a fan of counters, but I imagine that counters could become a bit “samey” in a post-apoc world - as the apocalypse (presumably) would generate a lot of mutation, weird creatures etc. How do you intend to depict the wide variety of things?
ReplyDeleteFor me, much of the fun/enjoyment of gaming is in finding and selecting “suitable” miniatures. Of course, deciding what’s suitable is very much a personal thing.
I look forward to reading how you get on.
Cheers,
Geoff
