Decisions, decisions...

I think I will be creating a board for my RTS board game. Should I make it four player? Check out my other blog post which has the mechanics of the game and let me know!

Where I am at

I figured I would post this on my blog as well...

This week I have put together a greatly collaborated RTS board game (without a board). It is very easy to get the hang of and requires a lot of attention and strategic planning.

3D Printers meet Vending Machines

Can you say "hyper-local automated manufacturing facilities" three times, really fast?

Exploring Terrain Tile Possibilities

Yesterday, I had some time to myself (after getting the tire on my wife's car patched - it had a nail in it), since my son and one of his cousins had decided to spend the night before with their granny (my mama). So, since I couldn't spend the time with my son, I decided to do a little possibility exploring.

I ended up visiting a Miracle Hill thrift store, two comic book stores, a housing supply warehouse, and Lowe's.

Proxxon versus the Cake Dummies

I happened upon a blog posting by some guy who calls himself Waco Joe. He figured out a way to create terrain tiles for gaming by using cake dummies. The blog entry in question that caught my eye can be found at the following link:

The tool that he used he called a Proxon foam cutter. However, I think that the actual item is technically called a Proxxon Hotwire Cutter Thermocut, and if I managed to track down the right beast, then here's a link to the actual product:

Gods & Minions Project Resurrection

Gods & Minions - Card based dark fantasy warfare

Okay, its been a long time since an update regarding my "Gods & Minions" project was posted here.

THE PAST

Far From Home...where I'm at. 3/7/2013

Defense Coordinator in white keeping the fleet safe.

Far from Home is a two player war game in space. It pits two capital ships fighting for their lives. It plays in less than 1 hour. It is easy enough for a seven year old to understand (my 7 year old plays with me).

Word-a-bout Token

Word-a-bout Token

Just finished drafting up version 1 of the game token. I like it. The blue is brilliant with the gold star. Going to work on vectoring it so it's even all around but I do want to keep that silk finish and texture.

PrezCon 2013

Once again I attended PrezCon in Charlottesville Virginia near the end of February. This was the 10th year since I started going although I haven’t attended every year. It was the 20th year for the convention.

PrezCon is a strictly board and card game convention that works much like the World Wargaming Championships (WBC).
