Advertisements / [Kickstarter] Drakerys - The miniature game

« on: June 12, 2014, 05:15:23 am »

I've been following closely this project and I thought that some of you might be interested. Here we go!



Drakerys is a skirmish fantasy game that features a new game system. Units have a number can do several actions (depending on their Action Points). Each action costs time (some more than others). After a unit performs all of it's actions, it receives a stress token which is not removed till the end of the round (and a round consits of several player turns). When a unit has a stress token, it becomes less efficent and takes more time to complete each action. You have to be careful becase if you spent to much time in just a couple of actions, the opponent might spent all that time making actions that cost less but that might provide some sort of advantage.



Apart from this innovation, the battlefield has vortexes which provide some advantages to magicians and where Elementals can be summoned.



Regarding the minis material, they've confirmed that they plan to use very hard PVC (similar to Privateer Press). Besides, they also innovate with the mounting process of the minis, providing a mechanism that does not need glue.



If someone wants to participate in the project, here is the link:

They are also releasing the rules in the updates section. I guess that a PDF will be availble soon. Tomorrow I'll explain better the pledging leves! Hope you like it!

Advertisements / [Kickstarter] FireTeam Zero

« on: March 13, 2014, 03:48:53 am »

Hello everyone! Since some people might be interested in this project, I'm posting a new thread about it. I'm quoting the authors:

Fireteam Zero is a cooperative game for up to four players who must cut a path through an endless swarm of deadly monsters in order to discover and defeat the ultimate evil behind them. Each player possesses a set of brutal combat skills that are represented by a deck of cards unique to that character. Play cards to devastate the creatures in your way, help your teammates survive the onslaught, or even reshape the tactical landscape with the proper application of explosive ordnance.
Each player will become a member of Fireteam Zero and commit acts of badassery against different families of monsters while trying to capture or destroy the arcane artifacts that are creating them.

I've been following the project closely and there is a good feedback from the authors of the game.
There are also a couple of videos explaining how the rules/combat works. The game itself reminds me of Gears of War, but much much better. It seems like a mix between Gears of War and a skirmish game, since it's played in an open wide area.
One thing interesting about this project is that every backer that supports the project at the core game and above will be granted access to ALL source files: tiles, cards and 3D models.

I'll try to keep you updated through this post in case you are insterested.

By the way. The game is already funded and 19 days remain!
