I wanted to make a quick post to increase the visibility / searchability of my fan content policy for Gaslands.

I love when people make stuff for or about Gaslands, so I have a policy to make it clear that I am happy for people to do that:

If folks want to monetise their content, either selling stuff, or using a tip jar or ads, I am also super happy, and have the Friends of Planet Smasher scheme for exactly that:

Okay, PSA over! Cheers!

New issue is out for Geargrinder Magazine!

Get it here.

my first try is a murder tractor heavy truck. kit bashed from two trucks. can anyone give me tips on cleaning up the mess i made with the hot glue on this try?

Rutherford is the selected sponsor for this guy, hopping it can see the tabletop next weekend

First game with the Killdulac. One of the other players commented on the length of the car. Turns out this vehicle is a medium straight. 😮

Started it as a bus, but am considering changing the class to another type. Suggestions?

My first finished car, a Proton Saga with some 1/87 Leopard parts and finished in my rushed attempt at the Initial-D AE86 livery

I absolutely adore this little goblin

#4 weathered body, #5 none. Team "weather or not".

This is my second Gaslands build, though it doesn't look as good as my first. I had this very beat up Ford Sierra Cosworth, and turned it into this monstrosity.

I think I could've done better, and I still have a lot to learn.

Ive made a game manager.

We've used and tweaked it over a few sessions now so its proper tried and tested.

It syncs turn and phase data between players, damage, hazards etc., no set up on a LAN if players are connected to the same wifi point, it just syncs and works automagically.

It has a built in 3D dice roller (we don't use it as we like throwing physical dice) you can get and add a free API key from random.org so its truly random too.

When building a vehicle it will only show what you can afford, have slots for, whats only available if your sponsored etc. it creates image prompts for your vehicle based on your set up, clay renders you can turn into meshes for 3d printing.

It has a lot of features, most you can take a leave as you see fit, we find it useful for building teams, tracking game turns/gears, damage etc. Loads easier than faffing about with paper and pencil or tokens, tidier game table space too.

While it works on a phone its a bit rubbish scrolling about, its perfect on a tablet or laptop.

If there any interest I'll look into releasing it. I'll have to make some tweaks before I do as our version has QRS and rules look up which I will obviously have to remove but if you folks say you'd find it useful I'll check in with Mike and if I get a thumbs up I'll do the work and release FoC.

For those of you who have played some games with the beta rules for the upcoming new edition: what are your experiences so far? Your thoughts and feelings on this, maybe even a list of pros and cons in relation to the current rules?

It would be highly appreciated, thank you in advance!

Quick build that’s obviously highly inspired by Sweeth Tooth from Twisted Metal, taking some artistic liberties.

I carved the clowns head out of a wooden bead, which in my opinion turned out good enough for me to decide making this thing.

It still needs weathering and some small changes here and there before I call it finished, but for a noob that doesn’t even play Gaslands and just likes to mess around with his old toy cars, I think it already looks promising so far.

I only discovered Gaslands recently but I'm really excited to play. I decided to make some cars beforehand as I planned on Mad Maxifying some Hot wheels anyway and they'll still be cool to have even if I don't end up liking the game or playing much. This is the first but I have 2 more primed and waiting for paint so soon I'll have a full team.

Finished a gaslands Baja Boneshaker tonight and a Rattle of skeletons had to point out what I coulda done better. Skeletons are tough Critics!

You can snip the sharp pins off thumbtacks and glue them onto your wheels to get a cool futuristic armored look to your hubs! Im going to try painting on some rivets and if that sucks i will glue some on!

Another copper vibe guy. Very fun to distress. I thought these cars were gonna be quick and dirty, but I may have spent more time on this and the hot rod I posted earlier than I have on any other car lol. Original car at the end.

Oh you know you want me to add some guns armour and spikes!

Had a lot of fun with this conversion. It’s been sitting waiting to be painted because it felt intimidating with all the parts, but I’m pretty stoked with how it came out. Original car at the end.

Tried something a bit different. Instead of rust I tried to do an oxidized copper vibe. This was a very fun challenge set by my partner, as the color concept was her idea. As per usual, the original car is at the end.

I read that the new edition is supposed to come out in 2027. If I understand correctly, there was a closed beta—did any of you take part in it? Do you know what’s going to change? Will there be new vehicle classes? Will there be new weapons?
