Barnyard Brawl: Combat, Other Thoughts, and Warhammer

Thoughts
-------------
It seems my drive for working on Arcana Victoriana has run out of steam. Pun intended. I REALLY do not want to work on all the characters by myself. The same thing happened for my time travel game; I don't want to work on every single card. It just boils down to lack of friends that share the same interest. ANYWAY, in an attempt to stall on working on A.V., I'm going to spitball some ideas for B.B.

Spear of Seth starts to take shape

I’m working on doing a board game for the forthcoming book Spear of Seth (See: http://www.thothfantasyquests.com/books.html). It’s an adventurous tale in the vein of Jules Verne set in Egypt.

Because it would be next to impossible to represent the full story in any detail we have chosen to focus on only one part. What I see as the most adventures part, traveling through the underworld.

Mythic Migration Manufacturing is underway

As I sit back, market and finish details for the debut of my first game an idea came to mind... Why not get some inside info from the manufacturer. So, I am putting together an interview style email to get some background and put together a blog update.

So, any questions you all would like to ask a US, small run, manufacturer?

So far I am going to ask about history, the "why" you got into the business of helping people self-publish.

Thanks for giving it a think!

Arcana Victoriana: Naming the action of a mechanic. -Final stages-

I still need a name for the action of turning a die into a die of more sides.
Example: 1d4 becomes 1d6. 1d10 becomes 1d8.

EDIT: I have narrowed down the choices.
The ideas that have been suggested are as follows:

A change in emphasis

Well, first off, sorry it took so long to get another post in but I have been swamped with change logs. Play-tests have been moved up from bi-weekly to weekly and it’s really got me buried. With so much going on as far as expansion planning, the main rulebook has taken on the final (unlikely) version of 2.8. Of course no matter how many times I think the book is done it seems my players will always find a new question or odd instance in which a rule needs an extra sentence added or a seemingly solid mechanic suddenly crumbles.

With this and the template for character creation in my previous Blog entry entitled, "Arcana Victoriana: Additional Characters" I welcome anyone to create characters and post them here or the aforementioned blog entry.

Acrylic Stones

I've been looking wishfully online at things like these:

...as possible replacements for flavourless Euro wooden cubes. Each of these 25mm x 16mm acrylic stones costs less than 2 US cents wholesale (not counting postage)!

Misc Thoughts: Gun Mage Creation

Here's the fluff I created for them at our Warmachine meet up today. It can be used with just about any RPG system. I didn't preview, so I lost all of what I wrote so now here's the less cool version.
