Thought I should put in a quick mention of my latest project, a hex-based boardgame kinda thing called 'Martian Zombies' with a retro 50s B-Grade SF movie feel... It's not to any real scale or anything... Here are some of the hexes:      ...only the fancy ones anyway, there are a lot of different corridor hexes. |

that's interesting, I would like to see the basics of the rules.

I like the design. The game will have minis??  |

The game will have minis, but I have not done fronts and backs since facing is unimportant to the rules. They just have fronts on both sides.
The game will hopefully undergo it's first play tests on saturday. I've just printed and cut out a set of hexes, and will be doing the figures this evening. I'm considering putting this on RPGNow when complete, along with Grolg's Feast (which is a much more epic project - I did all of the rules and design for ZM in five days)

No playtest yesterday, I'd forgotten my club was hosting a tournament, so everyone was busy. I have been developing solo play which is a simnple modification of the rules and tweaking the combat system a bit.

As a result of play testing today, slight modifications have been made to the rules for the Damage Control and Enivronmental Support rooms.
And ideas have been discussed for an expansion - things which looks like they'll be cool, but I do not want to be part of the core game - want to keep it simple to start with. It's almost ready now...

Martian Zombies has been playtested again today with the result that I have decided against integrating a tweak I was considering - it made the survivors way too powerful. I expect it'll be ready to publish this week.

Martian Zombies has been published to PRGNow - actually I did this last week, but I've been a bit busy. Link! |

I've added an article on how to build your Martian Zombies set to my blog.(that's a link. It seems to be a stealth link and camoflagued to match the rest of the text...) be warned: may contain traces of zombie hippos. |
