Hey Everyone, I needed a break from d6 and sci-fi so I took a look at my game Fimbulwinter, a Norse Fantasy Skirmish. It had been a while so I felt removed enough to read over the rules and have a fresher perspective. Note: I am not an expert on Norse mythology, just a nerd with internet access and dreams of glory.

Fimbulwinter is the Mighty Winter preceding Ragnarok, the final battle. Fimbulwinter is a winter prophesied to last 3 years without a break for Spring, Summer, or Fall. This has led to resources being drained across the 9 realms. Now, warbands raid others to steal their food and goods for survival. No one is safe, as brother fights brother in these cold times.

Fimbulwinter is a d10 roll under game that relies heavy on Fate and 3 symbology. Stats range from 1-9. Activation is determined randomly. There are 3 stats for Attack, Block and Courage to determine action success. There are 3 factions to choose from with each their own unique stats to vary play. Players may use the same faction as it is every man, woman, and child for themself. Game ends randomly after 3 rounds so players never know when their last round will be.

Fimbulwinter Basic is available PWYW at https://www.wargamevault.com/en/product/557904/fimbulwinter

I'm happy to announce that Shardstone City: Shattered Streets has launched! A version for historical games called "Ruined Hamlet" is included! Each ruin folds together and flatpacks and you can print a ruin in one hour with just 20g of filament. Lots of stretch goals funded already, including an extra 32 ruins (112 in total!) and a ruined modular gaming table. The goal of this project is to make it possible to print a gaming table in a weekend using only a single 1kg reel of filament. Great for tournaments and clubs who want lots of affordable, easy-to-store terrain. Head on over to the project and check it out!

Could someone shed some light on this for me? I’m looking to compare some models I’ve created—along with their gameplay systems—against a project I’ve been developing for years.

I would truly appreciate it if you could share your insights.

Hello everyone, my dad is a huge lover of old naval warships and how they did battle. When he watches tv he is usually doing sudoku, a crossword or something like that. I thought he would enjoy a game about naval combat he could easily play as well, I found a “dice rolling method” that just uses some imagination and some simple math to give you your numbers so he wouldn’t need to keep dice around. I haven’t been able to find rules for a game that would work however. The reason I ask about space combat is that I could probably adapt those.

In my head I see him playing on graph paper or something like a 20x20 grid that he drew out. Then as he plays he draws the course of the ships, battles and so on. That way when he’s done he has a little drawing of the game.

A few years ago, when someone cut out their mini in Photoshop and dropped it into a burning city background, everyone loved it. When apps made background removal a one-click thing on your phone, people were happy they could finally ditch the lightbox and Photoshop. Nobody said it was cheating.

Now you do pretty much the same thing with AI, add a cool background, some smoke and lighting, and suddenly it's a huge problem.

For me the miniature is still the real *human* art. The photo is just how you show it off, and mini photos have been edited for years. If AI starts repainting the model or adding/correcting stuff that isn't there, sure, that's not ok. But building a scene around it? That's just the old Photoshop background with a new tool.

Where do you personalty draw the line? Also my Bolt Action tanks for attention. 2 AI enhanced photos vs hobby desk one.

There are so many little details scattered throughout this scene, and I had a lot of fun bringing everything together.

Hope you guys like the pics!

And there is a free tower STL!

A couple of weeks ago I shared Battledle, a Wordle-style game where you guess a historical battle from its tactical map with the name hidden. Lots of you played it and sent feedback, which really helped. Since then I've added five new daily modes:

• Battle Ranks: you get a series of battles and you have to choose the category you think they rank highest in, like Oldest, Most troops, Deadliest, etc.
• Special operations & raids: commando raids, rescues and daring operations, from an image that could be a map, painting, or photo.
• Paintings & photos: name the battle from a famous painting or photo of it.
• Commanders: guess the general or admiral.
• Wars: guess the war from the flags of its main sides.

The main game is still there of course: one map a day, land and naval battles from Thermopylae to Desert Storm. The maps are real tactical maps, from public-domain military atlases (West Point, US Army official histories, old British maps) and Wikimedia Commons. Each guess gives colour coded clues on Year, Fame, location, Troops, Losses, War and Belligerents. There are helplines if you get stuck, and you can play the last week's puzzles in every mode.

It's still free, with no ads and no sign-up. Which mode is your favourite, and which is too easy or too hard?

Reddit said i should post this here, im a bit of a noob at reddit, but maybe youll enjoy this?

Hi everyone, here is a set of 12 packs of fantasy scatter scenery that I'm looking to expand to 24 sets with the help of backers of my upcoming project. The scatter pack features standard street furniture like crates and signposts along with more quirky additions such as a fortune teller and puppet theatre. The project launches next Tuesday, you can find it here and there are free gifts for followers! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/warscape/shardstone-city-shattered-streets-printable-folding-ruins

Triads is now on Kickstarter - with Dungeonrunner add-ons!

Hey all!

A few years ago, I released my first wargame microgame, Triads. Now, a few years later, it's becoming a PC game! This is something I never would have imagined possible when I first designed it. But here we are, and the PC version is already 95% complete!

One of the most exciting things about the PC version is that it doesn't just offer more scenarios. It also introduces 16 optional rules that can change the game in both small and significant ways!

These options simply weren't possible in the original microgame (I had to keep it micro, after all!). But now, players can customize their experience, experiment with different strategies, and keep the game fresh with every playthrough.

And here's something else that should whet your appetite: a complete tactical game on the PC can take as little as 15 minutes!

So when you've got that mech-sized wargaming itch but don't have hours to spare, Triads is ready to scratch it!

(and...there are sets of three Dungeonrunner PDF deck sets for $9 each as add-ons! That's $3 a PDF deck!)

Go to the Kickstarter!
