Ghost City Raiders: Now Available


Last night I was up until all hours of the night uploading all of necessary components for the starter edition of Ghost City Raiders. You can buy the basic rules here or the complete starter bundle here (at a saving of 55%).


It's sold a few copies already now that I've woken up the next morning, which is always a pleasant sight. Slightly less pleasant is that fact that it's already generated some controversial discussions on G+. Still, I'm happy for these discussions, they've shown some fundamental flaws in the sales model (and advertising spiel) that can be fairly easily overcome.


I'm going through all of the scenarios and characters now, providing them with a point of difference for the consumer. This will come in the form of the character and scenario background preambles. I've got these done as much as I can for now, but it'll be a few hours before I can get back to an internet connection to change the remainder of the files. I'll also be porting it across for sales on the DrivethruWargame sister site to RPGNow, to see if that helps.

Still, it was nice to earn a bit of money for the time I slept last night.

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
