Arcana Victoriana: Character Stat Rewrite

As the title says, I'm rewriting the stats of every character I've made so far. Printing them out is going to be a problem. I don't know what the layout on the cards will be. Sure, I could just print them on a big white sheet of paper, but it gets difficult finding what character you're using when nothing is bolded and you have several pages.

The GIMP exercises

Hex map

I created this standard hex wargame type map to get a feel for the capabitilies of Gimp. The game for which this map was designed is terrain use oriented. There are 3 types of terrain: defensible, obstructive and mobility modifying. The game was designed to have a very light learning curve and the focus is on action and taking risks. The most important risk lies with deciding on the type of reinforcement units you want to try and get onto the map in your turn. The fastest and highest ranged units are the most difficult to get into play.

Battle of 4 Armies Released!

Victory Point Games has recently released my game, Battle of 4 Armies. Its a very quick playing strategy game for 2-4 players. An average game takes 10-20 minutes.

Arcana Victoriana: Alpha Playtest

I tried a short and sweet, proof of concept playtest thursday night with Wes. It worked out alright but Wes thought it was a bit too random. It would work better as a "light narrative wargame/role-playing game". Basically, all those hours of work are for not. It's fine though. Live and learn.

Kamakura - Kickstarter up and running!

Kamakura - Prototype Cards

Hey, my name is Alex Montgomery from Dyad Games. I wanted to fill you in on a new and exciting card game we've been developing over the last several months! The card game is called "Kamakura" a game about feudal Japanese warfare. It features original artwork, gameplay and all around a fun experience. We've just launched a Kickstarter (pre-order/fundraiser) which allows for the pre-order of everything from first print decks to posters and more. I'll spare you the long speech about it as we have a website up at www.DyadGames.com/kamakura.

more than we can chew

Sometimes in life, we bite off more than we can chew. Other times, we are just dealing with a slice that is to darn big. Most of the time we never know it. We just keep plotting along on our course without ever thinking about what we have just accomplished.
