Work on the Physical Book Begins


Here's the working logo I'm going with for the new iteration of FUBAR.

It might not stay this way in the final product.

In fact, it probably won't stay this way for the final product, because a hard copy of the book might be the first encounter that some people have with the FUBAR system. It generally does work as a working title because this is my attempt to revive the game and make it relevant to a wider audience, but I might just run with a straight "FUBAR" title for the book.

I've generally given the book a structure, and now it sits at 80 pages, with a rough dozen pages of setting, lots more hints about how to run a game using the system, plenty of space for play examples, and lots of imagery.

Now to start filling in the details.

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.
