This was the last practice bashup I'm going to get to do till the August campaign starts. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I had forgotten my dornishmen at home, so I borrowed my buddy's Tyrells. We did a 3v3 mash up. I was wiped out to the man. But I'm obligated by journalistic ethics to say the my buddy Ben saved the day with his Danyris and unsullied. Even going so far as to kill the mountain. I should take note for my prince obryn. No doubt he will come across the mountain during the campaign. <br></p>

An initial fight with the Boltons ended in a pretty solid victory for prince Obryn. After that there was a big multiplayer game pitting Borathians, Nights Watch, Unsullied, my Dornishmen and a Dragon against one another. Sporadic pictures below. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Its worth noting that this was one of the few winning nights for me. I think in these rules, its good to have a good mix of heavy hitters and some fodder to back them up. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I picked up some gripping beast plastics at the shop, so I'm going to try my hand at converting up some wildlings and a giant. </p>

Its been two years since I've posted. There's been a lot of new jobs, fulfilling Kickstarters a failed attempt at PhD funding and various late 20s life events. But to misquote Jeff Goldblum, gaming finds a way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here we are in the new era of Over There. I'm still in the UK, but far away from being a student. My buddy's foray into blogging has inspired me to dust off my own blog again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My hope for the future of the blog is to use my phone to do a bit more candid blogging of my gaming exploits. So please forgive the eneviatble blunders. Though auto correct on android is much better, so my writing should be more befitting of a native English speaker. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So without further ado, here are my efforts for my gaming group's Game of Throne's campaign. One of the guys has written a super simple mordheim adaptation. The main rules are intact, but the campaign rules are much simpler and abstract, which is good for me since my warnands always look like a hospital ward aftery first game of straight mordheim. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The figures are mostly unconverted GW Lord of the Rings Haradrim. Prince Obryn (or less generously, Charles Bronson) and the gentlemen with shields are a mix of Fireforge Games Mongol infantry and Gripping beast Arabs. We are living in an age where there are enough plastic kits to cobble together basically anything from plastic bits. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So there it is my return post. If anyone is still out there, thanks for reading. </div>

<br />
I've gotten so busy with this Kickstarter campaign that I've forgoten to promote this on my own blog!<br />
<br />
For the last month, I've been trying to raise money for a sequel to <i>The Department</i> entitled <i>Ghosts of Hefei</i>. The game is a competitive Skirmish game for 28mm and 15mm figures whith a heavy cyberpunk theme. Rival gangs compete to steal fabricants from the chinese factory city of Hefei. <br />
<br />
We're looking to make a great game and some dynamite figures, sculpted by PF. These will be in 28mm and 15mm figures and are available in a number of scales.<br />
<br />
But it all depends if we're going to make out goal. Right now we need about $2,500 to make it happen. If we make it, it will be a nailbiter. Its very much in the balance. <br />
<br />
So if you are at all interested in Cyberpunk gaming, why not pledge. you can get a set of 15mm figures for as little as $6.<br />
<br />
You can find the Kickstarter<a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1931671462/ghosts-of-hefei-tabletop-near-future-gang-warfare"> here. </a><br />

Hi guys, quick update. The newest Goalsystem game has just launched its website today. we're going to be putting up our Kickstarter in the next week, but having the website let you check out the game a little before we start the drive.I'll let the website the website speak for itself, but if you like gang warfare and an in-depth campaign system, check it out. <br />

The final Goalsystem Delves figure by the talented Soapy!<br />
<br />
You can get the figure from out Kickstarter page, which incidentally has only five days left. You should definitely contribute to the funding drive if you are at all into dungeon skirmish.<br />

Just a quick update to the KS that shows off some of the more innovative rules that Delves delivers to the dungeon fantasy genre. Take a look a the update and see how characters in delves get a little rest between adventures. <br />

I won't get too much into it here, but Delves is like Goalsystem and Heroquest had a baby. It's a great system for dungeon crawling and we have some really great rewards, including some awesome recycled rubber dungeon terrain. If you love Goalsystem, give it a look.<br />
<br />
But that is not the main point of this post. I've been asked to participate in an online panel discussion on Indie+, which is a five day online convention. I'll be speaking with other game designers that used Kickstarter to fund theri rules projects. we have a really cool group of designers. the panel will be streamed live at 7:00pm Eastern time on the conventions main site and will be posted to Youtube once we're done.<br />

So if you want to listen to my nasally drone talk about game design and Kickstarter, come on over and have a look.

Tom did a bang up job on this first wave of figures, which will be abvailable as soon as they get back form the caster.<br /><br />I'm really pelased with how these turned out. They will be ideal for The Department and really fill the need for 15mm humanoid robots. <br /><br />Also, for those of you attending Salute.

Aside from furiously working on The Department, I've been finish up a freelance project I was working on before the Kickstarter took off.<br /><br />I'm actually really proud of Blasters and Bulkheads. I've been working on the page designs since early June and it's really neat to see the whole project for sale. I'm really impressed with Joe Urban's cover art, and I'd love to see a mini produced of that character. Though I admit, it looks kinda like hes burning the hair off of the back of his neck.<br /><br />You can snag a copy at <a href="http://www.wargamedownloads.com/item.php?item=983&Site=TMP">Wargame</a> downloads(which includes full color and printer friendly). So as always, buy loads so I get more work.<br /><br />Now it's all Department, all the time until April. It's going well so far and I think the layout is going to be even better than Blaster and Bulkheads! There are a lot of concepts in B&B that I'm going to put in The Department.Joe Dragovichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17666290390344039701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039531131816618031.post-80022803780658217052011-11-11T10:14:00.000-08:002011-11-11T17:24:24.300-08:00A little Teaser for You<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2bJkvWPASibwNW-XabO5g9FsPHYhncl0S6pDXECzcS3ZtKAp05PrhZyY9y6veE9Ii47VyeWgOg0Qf7nrbzjoYPZ-RbZpNMgwMAqw-DKdY3O_iVdtifrDK1W7rBbrC_lYhJrigk4EaieyI/s1600/Mommy%2527s+home.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 198px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2bJkvWPASibwNW-XabO5g9FsPHYhncl0S6pDXECzcS3ZtKAp05PrhZyY9y6veE9Ii47VyeWgOg0Qf7nrbzjoYPZ-RbZpNMgwMAqw-DKdY3O_iVdtifrDK1W7rBbrC_lYhJrigk4EaieyI/s400/Mommy%2527s+home.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673803866292967858" border="0" /></a><br />Been real quiet here for a while because there has been very little gaming going on.

I've been busy finishing the Layout of Blasters and Bulkheads and organizing work on The Department now that the Kickstarter has finished.<br /><br />The Layout of Blasters and Bulkheads is coming along well. I'm porduceing a "pretty" version and a printer friendly version. You get both when you order so everyone is happy. I'll try and post a preview of the page layout when I get the finished photgraphs from Sky.<br /><br />And now to the title of this post. One of The Department's kickstarter backers, Tom Mason has started his own Kickstarter project. The project is already funded, but now is your chance to get in on the action. I'm a backer and I particularly like the sci-fi models. I've included a shot of the figures to whet your appetite.<br /><br />http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1470153821/effigy-miniatures-a-new-sci-fi-and-fantasy-miniatu<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.effigyminis.com/Kickstarter/Reward_Minis.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 361px; height: 462px;" src="http://www.effigyminis.com/Kickstarter/Reward_Minis.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Joe Dragovichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17666290390344039701noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039531131816618031.post-70469790329786095952011-09-14T01:57:00.001-07:002011-09-14T02:14:52.677-07:00We Made it Everyone!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://filmfanatic.org/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Its-a-Wonderful-Life-Money.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 480px;" src="http://filmfanatic.org/reviews/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Its-a-Wonderful-Life-Money.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />I have to say that I feel like George Bailey right now. The <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1931671462/the-department-sci-fi-noir-tabletop-wargame-rpg">Kickstarter Drive</a> has come back from the grave in a big way. We've shot past our goal with just a few days to go. May thanks to all of my friends and the gamers worldwide that have helped to make this project a reality.<br /><br />Now the hard part starts, actually producing the game. In the next six months, we're going to forge this pile of rules and concept sketches into a great product.<br /><br />Now that teh funding drive is over, we should get back the regularly scheduled programing on this blog. Scott just handed me the finished manuscript for Blasters and Bulkheads, so I'll be beginning the layout now. Stayed tuned from previews for that game. I've just bought a drawing tablet for my PC and I've done some new art that hopefully will make it in the finished book.Joe Dragovichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17666290390344039701noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039531131816618031.post-26568264835578962032011-09-10T02:42:00.000-07:002011-09-10T02:53:45.808-07:00It's the Final Countdown<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.hbevol.com/youaretheshit/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/europe.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 390px; height: 390px;" src="http://www.hbevol.com/youaretheshit/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/europe.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />We're having the final week of fundraising for our game The Department: Noir Investigation Skirmish.

Three other lucky people will receive a free PDF, or, Ebook version of the game. </p><p><span style="font-size:78%;">Note: This contest is null and void if the Kickstarter pitch is unsuccessful, as the game will not be produced.</span></p>

I've been moving ahead on the artwork for Blaster and Bulkheads, but over the last few months I've also been working on my baby.<br /><br />I'd like to present to you, my loyal readers, the Kickstarter page for a game I've been wanting to make for a long time.<br /><br />http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1931671462/the-department-sci-fi-noir-tabletop-wargame-rpg<br /><br />I won't rehash the pitch text here, since you can read it on the Kickstarter page, but suffice to say we're breaking new ground in skirmish wargaming. Building on the solid Goalsystem, we plan on releasing a full color 150 page book that lets you fight rogue robots in 2060s America.<br /><br />While the rewards we have on the Kickstarter page are great, I'd like to extend an offer exclusive to my blog readers. The first ten people who make a donation to the kickstarter at $10 or more will also receive a small print of the above artwork signed by me as a thank you for being one of the first Kickstarter backers. I'll send this out next week(provided there are enogh donations), so you'll have your print right away to help spread the word about The Department. Just send me a message through Kickstarter to claim you bonus reward. Make sure to mention that you heard about it on the blog. <br /><br />Even if you don't want to donate, I would greatly appreciate making a post about the game on any forums or your blog. The more people know about the project, the more chance we have of making this project a success.Joe Dragovichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17666290390344039701noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039531131816618031.post-65770073629889799572011-07-01T15:06:00.000-07:002011-07-02T17:21:15.839-07:00Speaking Mecanically<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZvS56d5gzUYIvkqXP26bfx5PVdb0YKQaROa7cpRpyeic1TEzO4SZFz0gFcKryM6yJNzJaOfEgQ4I2pWeQMBO0C7luA7PUNtHxhjHW5JJSSWFKHqYZ9szbmfdA_QPSF6dgi5OfGGKePn_m/s1600/GWI+Page+6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZvS56d5gzUYIvkqXP26bfx5PVdb0YKQaROa7cpRpyeic1TEzO4SZFz0gFcKryM6yJNzJaOfEgQ4I2pWeQMBO0C7luA7PUNtHxhjHW5JJSSWFKHqYZ9szbmfdA_QPSF6dgi5OfGGKePn_m/s400/GWI+Page+6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624510374105299842" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVqza_AgokKvQYt0FNDfnPD4XLf8vxCKzO9bBNO-rh1Nal2HSDW9LR7PyQiDQTaFMnXD0eSpCmssm0WoqkJJEF7GhtjEGcNo7EfHbEE3uVklT8V0rnamDESxpQK5U1mcll6DFcNx5Lgovf/s1600/GWI+Page+19.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVqza_AgokKvQYt0FNDfnPD4XLf8vxCKzO9bBNO-rh1Nal2HSDW9LR7PyQiDQTaFMnXD0eSpCmssm0WoqkJJEF7GhtjEGcNo7EfHbEE3uVklT8V0rnamDESxpQK5U1mcll6DFcNx5Lgovf/s400/GWI+Page+19.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624510250681885266" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDzetBxPypvSGYTxaKGjmyGxMPs_fuXNTO4hxY-uvXyYV0Z1cAIMt5YZZCKCwORTf-u6sBzWelOx7qeAxG8hQ-xSiY2NO7OjARV2yrp6kHQReJuMwo85_hoBfzM356Q1wv68OVZ-F7abhA/s1600/GWI+Page+25.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDzetBxPypvSGYTxaKGjmyGxMPs_fuXNTO4hxY-uvXyYV0Z1cAIMt5YZZCKCwORTf-u6sBzWelOx7qeAxG8hQ-xSiY2NO7OjARV2yrp6kHQReJuMwo85_hoBfzM356Q1wv68OVZ-F7abhA/s400/GWI+Page+25.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624510177492456274" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_s0I01CoT0KyXWGwm-e2mFg6hTK9xEa9mNm4qaGwSGdgV5bz3RjC9phVf1RzmPigQEXjRagjxc2eUU-LF4pc4mvNn3TUSQbwocNC9Qguqiv0JzgyYtJFkXC-UrS1iWkDkPPXn14yVrQ9D/s1600/GWI+Page+42.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_s0I01CoT0KyXWGwm-e2mFg6hTK9xEa9mNm4qaGwSGdgV5bz3RjC9phVf1RzmPigQEXjRagjxc2eUU-LF4pc4mvNn3TUSQbwocNC9Qguqiv0JzgyYtJFkXC-UrS1iWkDkPPXn14yVrQ9D/s400/GWI+Page+42.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624510014922299986" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjopdL-xJuG2WACGdQLXrJXpOoNmzKMtiecx6AchNiV7JhqDA8wQvILnkgezlxfTWP2sMnl8uHAw2P5Y_rIz2Q9NlL6G0gOwv_JJWIesq495NDINqZgbpHhhoJhzfMWsDg9UN6Ls1iyzGQ7/s1600/GWI+Page+65.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjopdL-xJuG2WACGdQLXrJXpOoNmzKMtiecx6AchNiV7JhqDA8wQvILnkgezlxfTWP2sMnl8uHAw2P5Y_rIz2Q9NlL6G0gOwv_JJWIesq495NDINqZgbpHhhoJhzfMWsDg9UN6Ls1iyzGQ7/s400/GWI+Page+65.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624509937882926546" border="0" /></a><br />Here are some Sample pages for the new GWI Rules. I tried to select some that explain some key rule points and shows off some of the awesome art and Karl Perrotton's great layout that's in the book.<br /><br />For those of you looking for some more information on the rules themselves I'll summarize some of the key points of the rules.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Alternate Activation</span> - Units the consist of several stands of infantry or vehicles activate one at a time and their constituent stands (called fireteams) and vehicles operate within their units command radius.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Combat</span> - Combat is resolved on a opposed roll on 3D6 modified by weapons quality, armour, and shields.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Extra Rules</span> - The book includes rules for spotting, sensors, bailed out vehicle crews and psionics.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Combined Arms</span> - Army list include rules for infatnry, tanks, hover vehicles and flyers.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Full Army Design Rules</span> - Use one of the six included army lists or use the complete army design rules to create you own. The build system is meant to be flexible but balanced.<br /><br /><br />Hope that Helps.
