Casamyr's blog

Hi fellow BGDFers. For those of you who were following our massive blog posts a while ago will know that Clever Mojo and myself are working on steampunk board game called Arkopolis Engines. Players take the role of the crew of great steam-powered "Engines" scavenging ruined cities for equipment, resources and ancient artifacts.

We need crewmen for the Engines and, as a way of saying thank you for the support we have received, we want to give you guys the opportunity to help out by creating crewmen for the prototype and possibly for the final product.

Righty, time for a new blog. This one will be solely for rules and discussion/tearing apart of them. I'll probably look at a design one in the near future as well to discuss how the game should look especially once the prototype stuff really gets underway (and much thanks to Mojo for doing) sterling work with all the proof of concept stuff and the early prototypes). My first blog here though is Mojo's Background and beginning lore for the world. I take no credit for this, it's 100% his and a fantastic read.

Right the first blog. it'll be a short one with a couple of mechanic ideas to get out there. Rust was originally going to be designed as a CCG, by myself and cattlemark a few years ago. Both of us went our seperate ways without finishing anything. A week ago I was clearing the vast backlog of emails and discovered the old talks about this CCG and got to wondering how this could work as a board game, more because I'm much more interested in board games than CCGs. Anyways, people here are very supportive and are interested in seeing where this goes.
