Gaming with Neoscream: 1st November 2013

The new Kingdom Death
Releases

Welcome to “Gaming with Neoscream”, my weekly gaming post for miniature games and non-computer RPGs. 

Gaming News

First off is the Mantic news. There was a major update on the Deadzone KickStarter. There is a problem with the Generic Enforcers. They had decided to do them as hard plastic instead of the resin plastic they use. However they are problem with the hard plastic quality. This will mean they will not be ready for the first shipment. They will now include five Enforcers from their Warpath range for free to fill in for them for all Kickstarter Enforcer Faction Starter.  There is no word how this will affect the starter game of public release of the Enforcers. Mantic has also decided to give the Marauder Faction Starter an extra figure due to the low number they have. This will be Marauder Pyro. There will be a Limited Edition Alternate Survivor for pre-release stuff and he will be available to KickStarters on the second survey which will be around March-April next year and finally they are saying that the Deadzone first shipment will ship at the start of December. With the Mars Attacks KickStarter they have managed to unlock or got during since last week’s post: Five Tiger Corps members as an add-on and as part of Will of Men pledge level and above; Giant Robots Core Add-On; a military upgrade for the truck; a crashed flying saucer Pledge add-on; Deadzone faction decks for the Martians and humans as a core add-on for $5 each; a Martian DreadBall team as a core add-on for $20; and a Suburban Nightmare pledge level which is $50 and has only terrain in it. Stretch goal that were left as I start to post this were: Wrecked Car Scenery Piece at 2,540 backers; the human character Edwyn added to the starter set at $470,000 (almost done as I starting post this); The Heroes of Greenville Multiplayer Cooperative Rules at $475,000; Intact Scenery at $485,000; more Giant Bugs; new scenery types; weapon upgrade to the truck; maybe some small animals; maybe some curvy civilians; and maybe some sneaky Martians.

Next is the HeroClix news. This week there was previews of: Iron Man, Rescue, Hammer Industries Drone, Dreadnought, Justin Hammer, Crossbones, Puck, Guardian, Aurora and Northstar from Marvel The Invincible Iron Man Gravity Feed; Dreadknight from Marvel The Invincible Iron Man; Aragorn from Lord of the Rings The Two Towers; Colossus from Marvel Avengers vs. X-Men; and Solomon Grundy from DC Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes. On personal HeroClix news I have pre-ordered a brick of Marvel The Invincible Iron Man from 13th Floor.

Now for the Elven Adventurers Box Set KickStarter news. The first Elven Thief has been renamed as an Elven Rogue to prevent confusion. They have managed to unlock or got during the last seven days: The Elven Female Fighter was added to the League of Cyn'Thark adventuring party; The Kral’s Champions adventuring party with Elven Archer, Elen Wizard, Elven Weapon Master, Elven Ceremonial Guard, Elen Wizard on Stag mount, an owl, wolf and a deer; the Strymian Thieves Guild adventuring party with Kitsune, three Pixie Questers, a coil of rope, Elven Infiltrator and a set of keys; and a Troll Beserker. Stretch goal that were left as I start to post this were: Artisan's tools added to the Strymian Thieves Guild adventuring party at $54,000; Elven Monk added to the Strymian Thieves Guild adventuring party at $55,000; Elven Thief added to the Strymian Thieves Guild adventuring party at $57,500; the Elven Baker at $62,500; and Kitsune Swordsman added to the Strymian Thieves Guild adventuring party at 550 backers.

They have managed to unlock or got during the last seven days: Both genders of the Orphan hero class; “The Lost Army” Mission pack; a female variants of the Indian Scout and the Lawman (Female Sheriff); the Flesh Stalker; the “Treasures of the Void” Artifacts pack; you can get each of the core set heroes and their variants as add-ons (this is one of three add-ons that is not included with the Mine Cart pledge level; Mine Terrain set; two Targa Dark Stone Pylons hazard terrain pieces; Blank Game Cards (the second none Mine Cart add-on); three Custodians of Targa; the Pack Mule ally; both genders of the Jargono Tribal Human hero class; and extra copies of the core games (the third none Mine Cart add-on); the Expanded Frontier Town board. Stretch goal that were left as I start to post this were: The “Dead Man’s Bounty” gear cards at $550,000; a second male variant of the Bandido at $575,000; and the Void Sorcerer at $600,000.

The Vigilante

Now for the Kingdom Death news. Just in there store are four new releases. The new figures are Storm Knight, both a male and female version of Warrior of the Sun and a variant Pinup Savior with no skirt and a sword in her had instead of the staff (which sold out in about an hour). The restore on the site during the week was the fantastic Beyond the Wall, Grand Mother, Pinup Twilight Knight, Preacher Pinup and one of the Pinup White Speakers (which has sold out). I picked up the female version of Warrior of the Sun as it looks fantastic. Now was there meant to be a Warrior of the Sun Pinup in the works.

Next is the Mekton news. This week’s updates only really included images of the Elaran Heavy Attack type called the Vigilante and the Ettaran Dorian.

Now for the Interface Zero news. The main rule book is all most done. Just some minor work to be done and a bunch of art work. (Artwork always delays RPG books.) When it is done it will be proofed read one last time and then backers will get the PDF copy. After that it will be set off to be printed and then layout work and artwork will begin on the first source book “The Solar System”.

Next is the Crooked Dice Games news. Friday showed a ton of releases: Guru, Kali, Cultists, Savage Schoolgirls and physical Villains Programme Guide. They had not revealed images of the cultists until this week. Also this month’s deal (by the look if it) is if you spend £60+ in their store, you can get a 10% off with the code ZOMBIEMILEYCYRUS. Also rough dates for last orders for Christmas have been released. 2nd of December of the Rest of the World, 5th of December for Europe and 16^th of December for the UK. These are NOT guaranteed as problems can happen with Customs.

Now for the Privateer Press news. The second Backer Update video for Warmachine Tactics was released this week. They have the basic game play now, however it is not at Alpha testing level yet.

Lastly there is the Hasslefree Miniatures news. They were still away on holiday this week, however they be back next week, most likely with a massive back log of orders to pack up and send off.

Past Events

As it was half-term there was no collage this week, so I could make it to HeroClix this week. It was a Halloween special and the rules were: 600 points, four actions, a minimum 10% to a maximum 25% of team total must possess the monster keyword. Sadly the brothers never made it for some reason so it was just me verses Darren. Luckily I had brought two teams with me. In the first game I was using me Asgardian. Sadly they lost to Darren’s Thunderbolts team. My team could not hit for squat after killing Hawkeye. In the second game I was using my Avengers team. This time they creamed Darren’s Thunderbolts team. We decided to have a third game. Darren had a bunch of Asgardians in his case (over 1,400 points wroth), so he put together a 1,200 point force and I combined both my team. I sadly lost this game, but I did take out his nasty Thor with the high defences due to is trait. “ODIN'S ARMOUR, THAT ONCE WEATHERED THE SERPENT: Modify Thor's defence value by +1 for each 100 points of the attacker's point value.” Sadly this is the last HeroClix game for the year as we would not be able to get a game during the Christmas Holiday. Maybe just after New Year we will get a game.

Next week I will talk about Friday’s Hordes High Command release event and if something happens on Monday I will I will post it here too.

Homemade Rules

Due to work on the Mecha Knight (new name for MS Wars) rule I have been doing, there will not be any new house rules stuff. I am hoping to get some of it typed up for next week. I have been coming up with ideas had to work on them. It will be a total redo of the rules. I am dropping infantry and for now vehicles. So it will be mech verses mech action. Posts with Mecha Knight in them will how "Mecha Knight" label and not the old "MS Wars" one. 

Until next time, Armour Up.

Gaming with Neoscream: 11th October 2013

Sorry Mantic most
have let Ming loss
with a Shrink Ray.
Click on image to
see it BIGGER.

Welcome to “Gaming with Neoscream”, the all new weekly gaming post that replace’s the “MK HeroClix”, the “Model Painting” and the “7TV Listings” posts as well gaming news and events that use to be in my “Neoscream’s Life” posts.

Gaming News

First off is the Mantic news. On Saturday I found out why I am still waiting for my DreadBall KickStarter. There was a major delay with the cards for Ultimate. Backers that did not get them were sent off and first while they were waiting for the cards. Shipment of the stuff with cards have began to ship, but it is still a pain that the all their season three stuff (apart from the Ultimate box set) has been out in Wargames Workshop since Tuesday last week. As this post is posted I still have not received my third shipment. Well anyways, the Mars Attacks KickStarter broke a new record by meeting the main funding goal of $50,000 in just fourteen and a half minutes. I like the way they thought this KickStarter out and it is a BIG difference to other KickStarters. The major to backer levels are "Will of Man" ($100) for the core game and $50 of extras of your choice of CORE add-ons (plus an extra human character new) or The Invasion Arrives ($150) for the core game and $125 of extras of your choice of CORE add-ons (plus an extra human character new). This means you can customise what you get, but please note if it is NOT a core add-on you will have to up you pledge as the credit does not cover non-core add-ons. I decided to go for "The Invasion Arrives" (at Early Bird 6 so it will be $145 instead of $150) and plan on getting tons of terrain. In also a week they managed to unlock: There are now eight sculpts for each of the two main grunt types instead of four; the human characters Ashley and Eve was added to the Starter Set; the Core Expansion One core add-on which has a deluxe gaming mat, four exclusive Topps Mars Attacks trading cards and the human character Don Manning; both grunts units have gained a Commander (includes the starter set ones); Urban Accessories has been added to all Boxed Games and Ruined Scenery Deluxe Pack core add-on; the “Attack From Space” (or is it “Attack from Mar”) core add-on with the characters Buck Spencer, Xiuhcoatl, General Zar and Sidney Rose riding Henry the Giant Flea; four more Martians have been added to "Will of Man" level and above; comic book based add-ons (note not a core add-on); and 3D Burning Cattle tokens core add-on. Stretch goal that were left as I start to post this were: Martian Saucer with Heat Rays Add-on at $250,000; pack of basic Civilians at 2000 backers and a special 3D token for special event cards for every 500 backers after that; Martian with Freeze Ray added to the starter set; Martian Marine unit core add-on; the human character Deke added to the starter set; Martian Dredd; US Trooper with Rocket Launcher added to the starter set; Stealth Martian unit core add-on; anti Martian (or at least Saucer) human artillery vehicle; Giant robots; and more Giant Bugs. Due to some unknown reason, I cannot save changes to the KickStarter links on the right hand side of the blog. So here is the link to the Mars Attacks KickStarter.

Next is the HeroClix news. This week there was previews of the IRW Avatar of Tomed from Star Trek Tactics III; Bonebreaker Shaman and Solonavi Domineer from Mage Knight Resurrection; Crossbones from Marvel The Invincible Iron Man; Firefly from DC Batman Arkham Origins; and Uruk-Hai and Uruk-Hai Berserker from Lord of the Rings The Two Towers. Two new Marvel sets were revealed for next year, Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy. Also the next organised play that will follow Marvel Avengers verses X-Men, DC War of Light.

Now for the Zombicide news. A new mission was added to their site called Zombie Factory.

Next is the Kingdom Death news. I received my figures now. They look fantastic. The head sculpt on Beyond the Wall as just wow. The scary think about Savior Pinup Morgan is that she is the only miniature I see or own this have camel toe. There are plans to make several videos to help people play like an explanation play thru of the games tutorial and a few other drilling down into the more technical and mechanical aspects of the game. There are also plans putting together a searchable online Addendum which will include bizarre user scenarios and how to resolve them. I spotted the other day that a plastic version of Survivor Aya unlocked in the KickStarter with extra gear (and I think head too) that are compatible with the armour kits, in game rules for them and a Challenge Scenario. There was no information if this was a KickStarter exclusive or not, so I massage Adam, the Creator of the Kingdom Death universe. Aya, also known as Survivor (Female) is one of my favourite figures from Kingdom Death (without that skull helmet) and sadly I do not own the figure. I would love to be able to get it and use it in the game. Adam reply very quickly as he was online posting in the KickStarter comments as I was writing the message. By the sound of it he is not sure yet if he will be doing general releasing things like the plastic Aya with game stuff. I am guessing it will be determined by how well the game sells. Oh and there are some interesting images of 3D sculpts from a sculptor who does some of the figures from Kingdom Death (Beyond the Wall is one of his work) that have the Kingdom Death logo on them. Are these of up and coming figures (that were not funded by KickStarter) or figures Adam discarded. These are 3Dkd_04 to 06, 09, 12 and 13. 3Dkd_06 is my favourite which I have included on the post, seems very ninja like. Here is a link to the 3D sculptor who did them, Hector Moran. The pictures are there.

  

The all new Guru

Now for the Crooked Dice Games news. Preview images of the masters of the brand new Guru and Kali figures have been revealed and both look great. Due to minor changes needed to be done to them they will be out next month and they might be joined with some cultists.

Next is the Mekton news. The mech section is about to be layout soon for the book. This is just a decision to do first, group by Class or Side.

Lastly there is the Interface Zero news. There has been an update on KickStarter. The book is currently at over 300 pages, much bigger than it was originally. However the creator has couple of problems. Both the Gollemmech and skill specialisations are not truly ready for release yet. What might happen is that the Gollemmechs will be cutting down to just a couple of mechs and basic rules and skill specialisations will be removed from the main rule book. The full final versions will be most likely be released in some kind of Compendium book.

Past Events

Friday last week was the Warmachine High Command release event at Wargames Workshop MK that was ran by Guardians of Tyr. There were ten players.  Sadly we only got time for two main games due to people needing to go and one four way game. I lost both games sadly, the last one being just by one victory point. I gained nine Command Points, which meant I won two cards which was “Thyra, Flame of Sorrow” and a second which I need to get today. On the four way game I ever won it or draw at first place with Ian, as we both had 27 victory points (however I had three locations while he had two). It was great fun. During the event I used Cygnar, Protectorates of Menoth and Cryx. Cryx was fun to play with in multiplayer as they have as you can rush a ton out to all locations in the late game. (Later rule the rule book and found that I won the four way game).

Saturday was the final DreadBall Tournament from Guardians of Tyr for 2013. There were fourteen players, the biggest turnout all year. I was using my standard Robot team. I spent my 20mc on an offensive Coaching Staff (AJ) and two Coaching Dice. This tournament was a league tournament which was using the Season Two league rules. On the first round I was up against Peter Melvin. He was using a Season One Corporation team. It was a close game but Peter won it in the last action of the last round with a three point score that had a fifty percent chance of success (one dice need 4+ which he rolled a 4). My number two scored two four pointers which meant he level up to Rank Two. As he was in Striker mode most of the match, I decided to roll on the Season One Striker table and ended up with +1 Skill. Also number one gained Man of the Match, when it did next to nothing all match surviving a massive blow. In the second round I was up against Aron Britchford. He was using a Marauder team. Number two did me proud as he scored two four pointers in Jack mode, which won me the game by a landslide. My first ever landslide win. SWEET. Number three gained Man of the Match, again he did nothing in the match. The third round I was up against Stephen Fase. He was using a Marauder team. It was another close match, but I managed to win this match. Number two went up another Rank marking it Rank Three and gain Misdirect. Also Number three got Man of the Match again, which led to it gain a rank. As it was in Guard mode in the match I decided to roll on the Guard table and got Can't Feel a Thing. After the third round the top four players moved onto the semi finals while the other continues playing normally. Shock Horror, I was one of the top four. OMG. So in the semi finals I was up against Jon Burrows. He was using a Season Two Corporation team. Sadly I lost by a landslide and also lost Number four. After that there was the third place play off. I was up against Mark Wright, who was using a Season One Corporation team. I managed to win the match getting third place in the tournament and second place in the 2013 DreadBall Championship. I might not have won any prizes in DreadBall, but I am doing well. Leon Chapman won the tournament while Rob Taylor won the Championship.

Next week I will be talking about the Horde High Command Demo that will happen later on today and maybe whatever happens on Monday (hoping to run a demo or two of 7TV at Wargames Workshop MK).

Painting and Converting

This week I have done another Robot Guard, the final two Robot Jacks (13 and 14), Rico Van Dien, K-9 and Commander Strax.

This week's figures front view

This week's figures rear view. Not as good as last weeks LOL.

This week's DreadBall Figures

This week's Doctor Who figures

Next week I should be doing Neclaw and four Zombies.

Armies

This week's 7TV listing will be the 300 rating version of my Doctor Who team. The doctor is back with companions and allies throughout time. Rose, Clara, K-9 and Commander Strax have joined the mix match crew.

Opps, that should have be Signature Weapon (Pistol) on Strax. In the future I plan on adding Vastra and Jenny first and then maybe Sarah Jane. Next week I will be relisting my James Bond team.

Homemade Rules

This week instead of rules, I like to talk about some personal games stuff. Long term followers of my blog might remember the MS Wars game I was a designing a long time ago or the Shōnen anime game I was thinking of doing that I might have mentioned. Well I have not stopped thinking about them, just never gotten round to do anything about them. With MS Wars, I want to see Deadzone rulebook and cards first before doing any work on it. I had always wanted to have a card element to the game, but I always had problems with them in the couple of trial games I had ran with friends. However, games like 7TV, DreadBall, Deadzone and Mars Attacks seem to be able to pull them off fine. I also plan on keeping to just the Mechs and avoid Infantry and tanks. Also the whole settlement system from Kingdom Death has given me ideas too for the campaign side of the game. With the Shōnen anime game, the basic plan is to use the Action:Engine system from Crooked Dice Games as the core of the game. Just need to really design archetypes and new Special Effects based on some of the major Shōnen shows like One Piece, Naruto, Bleach and Dragon Ball. I really need to talk about this on the Crooked Dice Games forums to get some advice from the other members. Out of the two the Shōnen anime game would be the hardest to do due to a lot of the powers and heavy leveling up the main characters do during the show. Shadow Clones and Super Saiyan are at less two of the powers that would be hard to balance.

Until next time, Armour Up.

Neoscream's Life for the week of the 19th to the 25th of March

Franky after the time skip

Welcome to another week of my life. Again as I had the time I posted this post a day early as I had the time. I might consider move the post to Mondays, but I leave that until next week to decided that. For those new  to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine. The week before last my mum was off work sick and I finally tried out one of the games Roxy lent me, but what did last week bring.

On Monday I worked from 9:50AM to 4:30PM. In the evening I decided to posted last week's Neoscream's Life post early as I had it ready and to save me from a mad rush to post it tomorrow morning. After that I decided to check eBay from 15mm Sci-fi stuff as I was already on eBay looking for season five of Bleach and found a bunch of cheap stuff from Russia from a company called Tekhnolog. Their two main game of this scale were ZOD and Astroid. The main two sets I am looking on getting are 16 Astroid Mechs for £10.10 and 12 ZOD tanks for £15.15 with £3.79 postage and packaging on each of them. Sweet. Almost too good to be true.
Watched: Episodes 8 to 10 of GaoGaiGar and episode 7 of series two of Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
Read: Chapter 9 of part 2 of Mobile Suit Gundam: École du Ciel.

On Tuesday morning I tried to to see if the company did any other stuff before deciding to order any now or a later date. I found a review on a blog called Dropship Horizon about their ZOD stuff. Here is the review. With the quality of the plastic I would have to say it was obvious by some of the pictures and price that they were cheap. However the scale of the Mecha and Tanks is a problem. It is not the seller fault as it is the company who made them who states they are 1:100 scale (15mm). Also ttthe legal problem with the infantry is a big problem. So I decided to avoid them, for now. I worked from 9:50AM to 7:40PM. Yes that is right, a ten hour shift. While at work I did some thinking about MS Wars and Gruntz 15mm. I decided to go back to 12mm as I already have a bunch of vehicles and infantry at 12mm already and I have found out the Heavy Gear and CAV are both 12mm (I alway fought they were 10mm or smaller. However I will still be using Gruntz 15mm, but convert the ranges to 12mm. It is easy to do on a spreadsheet as 15mm is 1:100 and 12mm is 1:144. So the range divided by 1.44. In with be using half inches to help balance the conversions. With this decision I decided to pick up a pack of 16 mecha from Astroid when I paid for the box set of season five of Bleach.
WLR: Nothing.
Brought and Received: Picked up on eBay series five of Bleach.

On Wednesday moring before work I tried out the other Xbox game Roxy lent me, Fable III. From what I have played so far all I can really say is that it is Fable (which is goos), but I have heard that the game heavily changes halfway into the game. I worked from 9:50AM to 4:20PM. In the evening I went out with Darren H and Richard for a meal and some drinks at Wetherspoon. Darren H introduced me to a smart phone game called Draw Something and we both introduced Richard to Tweeter.
WLR: Nothing.

Thursday was a day off work, so I update the DreamClix Dial Designs page. Both of my parents were off today too. However my dad had to pop out to do some work. He wanted to use his Sat Nav, but the map data would not load up, it kept on saying they were locked. I spent most of the day trying to fix it and downloading things for it which took forever with my internet speed. In the end my dad phoned the helpline and they guided us to a download that resets the data on the Sat Nav, which worked. Like normal in the evening I went to HeroClix.
Watched: This week’s episode of WWE Raw, this week’s episode Gadget Geeks, episode 281 of the subtitled version of Bleach and episodes 6 and 7 of Let's Play Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.

On Friday morning I finished off and posted this week's HeroClix MK post before work. I worked from 12PM to 4:10PM. I did not do much after that apart from playing Fable 3.
Watched: Episode 8 of the second season of Mobile Suit Gundam 00.

Neoscream's Life for the week of 27th of February to the 4th of March

Chopper after the time skip

Welcome to another week of my life. For those new to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine. The week before last was role-play and work not making there up their minds about If I was off work or not on Thursday, but what did last week being.

On Monday morning for some reason I was running late and had to get a taxi into work. I worked from 9:50AM to 4:15PM. In the evening I installed Dungeons and Dragons Online and was planning to try it out, however in between Richard downloading it and me installing it there was a major update. It took forever to download and I do not get around to trying it out.
Watched: Episode 20 of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.
Listened: Episode 311 of Anime Pulse.
Read: Chapter 38 to 43 of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist and finished chapter 10 of Dragon Ball Multiverse.
Brought and Received: Got volume 5 of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist manga in the post.

On Tuesday morning before work I finished off and posted last week's Neoscream's Life post with another teaser dial from the Excel Template. I worked from 9:50AM to 4:45PM. In the evening I did not do much to write about (or at least remember as I wrote Tuesday's post on Friday).
Watched: Part of this week’s episode of WWE Raw and episodes 213 to 215 of the dubbed version of Naruto.

On Wednesday I worked from 9:50AM to 12:30PM. I receive a phone call on my phone on my way home while listening to music on my Bluetooth headphones. This time I decided to do things different. Instead of turning of the headphones before answering, I answered the call and held the microphone part of my phone up to my mouth. I seemed to work by the audio quality was bad, however this could be due to reception than the headphones. When I got home I finally got round to trying out Dungeons and Dragons Online. It feels like a console role-play game with the MMORPG part tagged on. Compared to Star Trek Online the real money store, the C-Store, Dungeons and Dragons Online store is very expensive. In Star Trek Online extra races cost about £5, while in Dungeons and Dragons Online is about £10 for extra races or classes.
Watched: The rest of this week’s episode of WWE Raw.

On Thursday morning before work, there was an automatic phone call saying there was an alarm going off in the store he runs. I tried phoning my dad who was there working, but the phone was constantly engaged. OK this was worrying. I let my mum know what happened just before going to work. She was off work today, but was away food shopping when I got the phone called. I worked from 12PM to 3PM. When I got home I asked my mum what happened. After ages to trying to contact my dad, she finally got to him. The alarm was one of the freezers had stopped work. Why the company phoned us he does not know, but I better it was because his phone line was constantly engaged. Before going to HeroClix I found out that Minecraft was updated today. Sweet. I posted a trialer for the update on my blog. Blaire was online when I got back from HeroClix, but I was too busy writing up HeroClix to pop on to say hi.
Watched: Episode 197 of the subtitled version of Naruto: Shippuden.

Currently the only Gruntz 15mm made figure

On Friday morning I finished off any minor bits I do not do last night and posted this week's HeroClix MK post before work. I worked from 12PM to 4PM. In the evening I did not do much to write about (or at least remember as I wrote Tuesday's post on Monday).
Watched: This week’s episode of Gadget Geeks.
Read: Chapter 44 of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist and chapter 5 of Battle Angel Alita.

Like normal on Saturday I went to coffee with Darren H and Richard. We chatted about stuff like normal and popped into the bookshop before going to work. Sadly there will be no coffee next  I worked from 12PM to 5:15PM. In the evening I mainly worked on dial designs and tomorrows Cosmic Cosplay post.
Watched: This week’s episode of WWE Smackdown and episode 198 of the subtitled version of Naruto: Shippuden.
Listened: Episode 43 of VG Pulse.

Sunday was a day off work. I help my mum spring clean and rearrange the living room as we got some new furniture come any time from next week. I did a double update to the DreamClix Dial Designs page and posted the Cosmic Cosplay post forgetting to talk about testing the game. Before going to bed I was seeing if there has been any news about the expansion to Super Dungeon Explorer. Sadly there was no new next on the expansion, but I do found out that it won second place of the TGN Readers Choice Award for new game or expansion category. I decided to find out what won it. The game that won was Gruntz 15mm. It is a fast play 15mm Sci-fi wargame, designed for skirmish level play. It is based around generic platoon level battle that is not restricted to set genre or background setting. As it is a generic rules set than I might use these rules as a bases for Mobius SRACU Wars, and build a campaign system for the game. This means most of the 12mm (1:144 scale) stuff I picked up will be useless, but I think the dwarves I picked up ages ago might fit in better in 15mm. For those Gundam kit fans, 15mm is about 1:100 scale so the model kits of that scale will fit. 15mm is very common which will make finding thing to use easier, as 12mm was rare for things like infantry.
Watched: Episode 216 of the dubbed version of Naruto.
Listened: Episodes 170 and 171 of Manga Pulse and episodes 44 and 45 of VG Pulse.
