This is a slightly OT topic, but I want to point out an incoming computer game (Flash based, you can play it in a browser) with a very old style feel and entirely based on "virtual" cardboard minis! Some of them are veery cool! www.cardhunter.com/

This is a slightly OT topic, but I want to point out an incoming computer game (Flash based, you can play it in a browser) with a very old style feel and entirely based on "virtual" cardboard minis! Some of them are veery cool! www.cardhunter.com/Hi Umberto ( aka Beasts & Barbarian's author ;D ), I (or we) follow this ( great imho ) game for about a year ( cardboard-warriors.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=stats&thread=3524&page=1 ). Now the beta has begun. You may submit a request for it ( I'll wait the final release. Now I have too many other problems ) Imho Blue Manchu is making a very good game ( but it is in flash? I did not know this. To me it seems too complex to be a flash-game ) This game is full of things with a big old appeal. game board ( like HeroQuest ) adventures modules like the old D&D modules paper minis ;D and many many cards It is the ultimate ( video ) boardgame for me. I have a few small doubts: It is free ( or with ingame micro-transactions, but I did not understand well it ). I don't like "free". Not for me but for a project's success. People often underestimate free, people often abuse it. And they can't ( or they don't want ) to have a proper authors' work recognition. It works on pc. In this case I'll do an exception. ;D But the pc is not my favorite gaming platform. I would see it as a great XBLA game. On the pc it has a lot of competition imho. As XBLA game it would dominate as minecraft. What I really hope? The release of the paper minis in a downloadable digital format as a bonus for any subscription or as a standalone not-free product. Ciao

Hi all!
I don't post anything for a while since all my projects went down the drain... but this one I must comment! I didn't know about this game so thank you for bring this up kaltorak!
If they released the miniatures as printable content it would be awesome and I think everyone would appreciate that since the miniatures from the videos seem pretty nice.
