link Hello, everyone, I'm ending my long hiatus from wargame design. I will mainly be working on boardgames, but I am going to support the 15mm/6mm Xenocide rules again once I get the website back up in a few weeks. In the meantime, please check out my Kickstarter for Terrenus. It is a very different kind of board game, where each player is a god playing a petty game with the world. It is played in 4 phases, each about ten turns long per player. First the gods build the world, then populate it with faithful tribes, then move those tribes together to build temples, and then go to war with heroes and monsters summoned from their temples. I have a ton of info on the KS page, and have a ridiculous "Hall of Godly Intentions" where supporters can have their face but on a neoclassical god image to hang out with the other supporting gods. |

Thanks Parzival! What are you gaming these days? |

Hey, Thane. "Hiatus from wargame design" Have you been playing? andy |

Yes, if I get Terrenus to go, I will definitely do Empires of Arcana next. So please, help get Terrenus to go :) I've been playing. I'm a bit embarrassed to say, but I did a lot of 40K for a while – I had friends move back into town a few years ago and they got me back into 5th just as it was ending. 7th made me pretty unhappy, so I hardly play again. I also did warmachine for a while, and did playtesting with Xenocide for about a year. I've played a few games of Dropzone Commander, and like it (because it has a lot of similarities to Xenocide). |

Thanks Parzival! What are you gaming these days? Mostly X-Wing, Wings of War/Glory, and Warmaster, plus various boardgames (which my little gaming group tends to prefer). I've recently been working on a revamp of GOBS, and a little light AWI game for use with toy sets. link |

Wow, Warmaster still! That is really cool, it had some neat mechanics. |

Thane! No game I never played changed my life more than Armies of Arcana! I spent more time as a 13yo on your website, dreaming of playing (and being able to afford to play or have friends interested in playing) a minis game with vast armies, than anyone should. Stoked to have you back! |

Thanks! I'm trying to get a website up this weekend, but it turns out I'm not very good at Dreamweaver. Yet! Please support the Terrenus KS! Pass it around like cold sores at a kissing contest! It is going to dramatically help everyhting else get going – unlike a lot of game Kickstarters, I am actually using it to kick start! A link to the Xenocide rules will be one of the first objects on the website. |
