April Fool’s Day

Posted in Uncategorized on May 14, 2009 by warstrek

The game that i conjured for april fools day was most appropiate for the day.  The game board it that of a large house not dissimilar to clue.  As they travel arround the house the try to set traps for the other players.  The first person to play a practial joke on all the other players wins.  Though out the game you’ll also collect cards to allow you to dodge or redirect the trap on to another player.  Play testing was invaluble to show its flaws, such as my lack any way of preventing the other players form seeing what was trapped.  Thus every room needed a large card to cover up a potential trap so that players would move into rooms unsuspecting.  With some tweaks to the rules and better art work this could be a great game.

For this Challange a gropu of us consiting of Kyle , Sara , Chris, Andrew, and myself modified pictionary withthe fallowing rules.

On your team’s turn roll a d6. On a 1-2 draw normally, on 3-4 draw with an etch-a-sketch, on 5-6 due charades.

Other wise the game comences as normal. this adition added great veriaty to a classic game and added the dread of the etch-a-sketch.  Playing it was great fun.

Soap Opera Game

I have a dream redux

Posted in Uncategorized on May 14, 2009 by warstrek

I made some modifications to my I have a dream game by making a new tiles with better art on it and by adding obstacles to move around to get the end space.  Also players can move along any connected path.

Board Tiles

Boarding Action

Posted in Uncategorized on May 14, 2009 by warstrek

Given the challenge to built a game using a cardboard box I though about building ships and running pirates aboard the ship.  What resulted was boarding action the game of ship top combat.  You command a crew of pirates trying to capture the other ship.

Check out the rules on my partners blog.http://kroucis.wordpress.com/2009/02/11/playtest-1-for-boarding-action/

Global Economy Game

Posted in Uncategorized on May 14, 2009 by warstrek

Business game 2.

Each person plays as their own country, with a specific number of resources that they can produce.   Players draw 3 resource cards at the start of the game.(There should be more required recourses than the players can draw so that they must trade for required recourses to upkeep and improve their nations.)

Recourses:

Food

Energy

Metal

Knowledge

http://warstrek.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/recource-cards.jpg

Recourses can be improved with improved infrastructure, which would cost at first 1 of each.

Each nation has a population that must be feed and housed, each round you must pay food to feed your citizens 1 food for each population. And you must provide housing for them, each time your population increases you must metal equal to the increase in population to build houses. As well their homes need power and you must spend 1 energy each round for each point of population.

If you don’t have enough food, the unfed population dies.  If you don’t have enough houses or energy you population is unproductive and you loose one recourse point that you would produce for each unproductive population

The goal of the game is to reach the level of super-power before the other players, this is done by buying Prestiges.  They represent great achievements in you society.

They cost 2 of each resource plus 2 for each prestige already in play.

So for example you’re buying the third prestige of the game it costs 2 + 4(for the previous two in play) = 6 of each recourse to buy.

The first player to 10 prestiges becomes the super power and wins.

This game needs a combat system so that players can fight each other to take prestiges and resources.  It also is better with more players should be played with at least four people.

Stock Market the Game

Posted in Uncategorized on May 13, 2009 by warstrek

NYSE the game

The game seeks to emulate the stock market by buying and selling stocks the winner is the player that reaches a predetermined amount first or it the last solvent player.

1 Depression x -5
2 Recession x -2.5
3 Slump x – 1
4 Rally x +1
5 Gain x +2.5
6 Boom x +5

At the beginning of each round the stock market will shift to reflect it volatile nature.  Each round a player will roll d% and a d6 (rotate players in turn order each round).  The value on the d% is the amount that the market raises or falls the d6 is a modifier of that amount based on this table.  The game starts with an Economy Value of 1000

Potential investments include Stocks, Bonds, and Mysterious Securities. Investments may be sold between players or to the market at the current value.

Stocks

Stocks from various companies provide returns biased on the stock market value though some are riskier, have better returns, or both. Stocks have, a purchase value equal to their purchase modifier, and return value that represents the amount of money they receive each turn.

Bonds

Bonds are a very safe investment that gains a preset value each turn.  Some are better than others providing higher returns but over all the returns are small but constant and are not affected by the fluctuations of the market.

Mystery Securities

These represent the strange and incomprehensible of the financial instruments these carry with them potential for great reward but have great risks and unforeseen consequences.  When bought they are played face down so other players will only know what you tell them about these instruments.

The play test for this game only used the stocks presented below.  It was decided that this game was interesting but wasn’t fun per-say.  There is still has some potential but I will not likely make any improvement.

Stock 1

  • Value equals 1/10th of Economy Value
  • Return equals 1/100 of Economy Value
  • Stock fails on a roll of 5 or lower on d%

Mass Effect Table Top RPG

Posted in Uncategorized on April 27, 2009 by warstrek

Mass Effect Table top notes

The game Mass Effect by Bioware is an exhalant video game and RPG set in a rich fascinating universe.  Desiring to continue to play with their world while I wait for the sequel inspired me to build a tabletop version of the game for this class.  I being a huge fan of D&D biased much of this system of the 3.5 d20 system of Wizards of the Coast with a few mechanic ideas form 4 edition D&D.  Though I made some drastic departures to use a much of Mass Effect’s character system as I could.  I wanted most to make it have the same frantic, varied combat that made the game feel so unique.

Combat System

1 round equals 5 sec of time

1 map square equals 1 meter

The Game is a d20-based game, to make an attack roll a d20 and add the bonus form relevant talent and the weapon’s base accuracy.  If the total is equal to or greater than the targets Armor Class you hit and deal damage.

Damage is reduced by you armor worn and absorbed by you personal shield.  Shield absorption takes place before damage reduction from armor.

Ranged damage is equal to the weapons base damage, plus the weapons mods and your skill modifiers.

Melee damage equals 10 plus any talent mod plus any armor enhancement. Melee attacks bypass shields.

Tech and biotic abilities bypass shields; tech biotic resistance reduces damage from those abilities.

Armor = 10 plus + conditional + skill

Range Weapons have a heat score instead of ammunition each shot of the weapon generates a point heat.  Each weapon has a overheat score, once the weapons heat equals the Overheat score the weapon can no longer be used. The heat reduces a rate of one per round once heat score equals 0 it’s useable again.

Heat also reduces at a rate of 1 per round that the weapon is not used.

It may come to be appropriate for balance for a synergy bonus from other related skills but that is yet to be seen.

Each character has a certain number of actions per round.  Players start with two actions per round, improving the combat maneuvers skill increases that number.

Base speed is 6 m

Moving up to the characters speed score is one action.

Activating a tech or biotic ability is one action.

Throwing a grenade is one action.

Melee attacks are one action but can be made at the end of a move action if it’s you intent to charge.

It is possible to fire a weapon multiple times with a single action

Sniper Rifles – with their long range take more time to aim and can only be shot once in one action.

Shotguns – may be shot twice in one action.

Pistols – may be shot twice with one action. – The marksman power of the pistol skill will give extra shots per action.

Assault Rifles – may be fire three times with on action.

Note each shot taken in a round imposes a cumulative -2 penalty on the attack roll of each subsequent shot.

Cover on the battlefield give a +4 circumstance bonus to AC however if you choose to actively use cover, 1 action each round you get an additional +4 bonus.

Talking is free.

Hit points – players start with a 105 hit points and gain 6 hp each level

Players start with 4 talent points and gain two per level.

Krogan receive 40 extra hp at first level.

After some tests and play with friends a fun game has appeared.  it goes thus,  place the start and end cards (note the end may shift slightly to acutely match up with the card when played.  You’ll understand when you play.)  and the players take turns, on their turn they may either draw and place a path card or roll the dice and move along the path.  A path card may be placed on any space not occupied by an opponent.  You only may travel in the direction of the arrows on the card.  if you run out of cards in the deck start picking up cards from the map starting form the start space and advancing along the bath.  If the space your on gets picked up in the course of picking up new cards your out of the game.
