NaGa DeMon: Day 21


Time to introduce something a bit more exotic to the world of Ghost City Raiders.

The Mutagenic Spectre

This character isn't so much dangerous, because all of the Raider types are potentially lethal in their own ways, but it does bring a new set of play options to the table. Notably, mutations and a touch of psychic powers.

The character seems pretty well balanced, but allows for some really different play options. The use of the "mutagenic" keyword on various aspects of the character mean that if the Mutagenic spectre does get out of hand as a character type, we can always include a "Purifier" or "Heretic Hunter" who gains a bonus against abilities or items bearing this trait.

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.
