Points well spent!

So I'd love to learn how to play BFG. If anyone wants to teach me let me know. My house is always open for game play.

I'm also working on making dates for the mini tournament at my place. Sometime in late September work? The 28th or 29th? Or we could do a scenery building day as that seems to have a lot of people excited as well.

I have 3 frontline gaming mats (grass, snow & desert) as well as enough old-school modular styrofoam terrain tiles to easily cover three 4x6' tables. The modular styrofoam terrain tiles look like this:



As for actual terrain to put on those tables, I probably have enough to fill 2, maybe 3 if you want to stretch it super thinly.

I'm not really interested in playing 40k tournaments anymore currently, but I'd be willing to sign-on to help run things if you'd like.

Can't argue with that! I have enough terrain for two tables, a frontline mat, and two tables(enough for a 4x6). So if anyone else has access to folding tables this can actually happen.

I can steal like 2-3 from the office just need a heads up

I have two GW grass mats I can bring if anybody needs them, no terrain though.

I can teach BFG.

Sadly, that weekend in September doesn't work for me, but don't let that stop you all from having fun.

I have a folding table that I do all my modeling on. Can bring it if needed!

I also have a single folding table to offer, but it is not 4x6', so we would need some sort of 4x6' topper to make it work.

I think the ones i have are 2x8s so at least that's 1 table. so long as we have a mat for the top (which sounds like there are)

As long as MikeFox has room at his place to store them, we could chip in to buy some 4x6' or 4x8' plywood sheets to use as toppers for smaller folding tables.

I have my angels, dashing good looks, and cash. I can chip in for supplies, food, or beverages as needed.

I really like Mike's table setup with the folding tables and frontline gaming mat. Gonna steal that gaming room setup whenever I purchase my own home.

Mike, thanks again for pinning my raven's wing. Quality work. Lookin' forward to playing more games.

Stupid Mephiston krump'n ng my dudes. Glad to have everyone over my place any time. I'll get some more details figured out this weekend.

Would anyone be interested in a weekly painting/modelling night?

I'd be down for a painting/modeling night. I've been really lazy with my painting lately, so a schedule wouldn't hurt. Unfortunately, I work from ~2pm to ~10pm so weekdays may be a bit tough depending on how early the session ends.

sounds interesting to me!

Hey everyone,

I've been developing some rules myself for a home-brew sci-fi game that is played at about the same scale as Warmachine/Hordes (28mm, 20-30 models per side) and am desperately in need of people to playtest the rules and give me their feedback; both on the core rules, but also the individual unit rules as well.

The optimal situation would be groups of two or more gamers that are willing to try to read and learn the rules themselves and then I can come over to wherever you game (or you can come over to my house in Inglewood) and I can watch you guys play the game…that way I can really see what parts of the rules didn't translate well from the text and look for ways to improve them.

However, if there are any 'lone gamers' out there that are really interested in doing this, then there is definitely still value in me playing test games directly against you as well (either at a place of your choosing or over at my house), so don't feel like you need to have a buddy interested to respond.

I need people who are willing to play multiple games over the upcoming months. I only have 2 factions and about a half dozen units per faction worked out to the point where I feel its worth playtesting them, so it will involve playing lots of similar games, but there are different mission rules to try out and you can, and should tweak what units you have in your force each time, so hopefully this will help to keep things fresh over multiple games (but re-playablility is obviously something I want to test as well!).

Weekends are definitely best for me, and I will buy lunch each day for anyone willing to be involved. There is a fair chance that these rules might eventually get published, and if that happens, I can almost certainly get your name added to the credits as a playtester if that's something you'd like.

If you don't care about having your name in the credits, I can instead potentially offer minor monetary compensation (something in the range of $5-$10 per game), my resources withstanding…so if that's just the thing to help get you interested in helping out, then by all means let me know!

If this is something you are interested in doing, then please post here or PM me directly. If you've got any friends in your gaming group who you think would be totally into something like this, but don't use Dakka, I'd love for you pass the info onto them as well. You can respond back on their behalf here on Dakka, or they can email me directly at: yakface@dakkadakka.com.

BTW, I can/will provide the models (and scenery if needed) for the games; basically I'll just be using a hodgepodge of old models I have lying around that are roughly the same shape and size as what I envision these units/models in the rules look like. So all you need to provide is the willingness to read the rules and the desire to play a bunch of games.

Thanks in advance!

That sounds pretty cool. If we form a meet up for 40k gaming/modeling/painting/whatever on the weekends I don't mind play testing and helping out where I can. I'll hit you up if I'm feeling up to it one weekend.

Anyone available for a 40k game or model/paint session this Saturday? If I can get my 3D printer fixed on Friday(damn piece of...) I'd love to do something 40k related and get my mind off my robotic hand project. I'd invite people over to my place, but unfortunately I don't have the room or infrastructure. Any ideas?

Me and my wife coul take a crack at the game if you want. And make ya dinner as well. We've played tons of board games and broke several. We usually find issues with rules and can be very bit picking at understanding rules, she's an English mint as well. Pm me if your interesting.

Awesome, yeah I'm interested in everyone that's interested in doing it, for sure!

I'll send out a PM to both of you.

I am probably available Saturday (tomorrow), but at least for playtesting this thing it is probably best if you guys take a week to read through the rules first (if you're willing to, of course).

Id love to take a crack at it though i would only be able to test if and when we gather up. (rest of my group are dead set in GW) :/

I would be down to help play test your game, though I work weekends and dont get off until 4:30. Not sure what times you had in mind.

We can certainly try to schedule something after 4:30 pm. I also sometimes I have Thursdays and Fridays available.

Although like I mentioned, the best possible deal would be for me to try to schedule something where I can have two of you meet up and play and watch the game. I learn much more that way then when I actually play against someone else.

I'll PM both of you the rules.

Awesome I'll read them over!

Id be interested in testing your game yakface. Im free anytime this weekend. Also I got my hands some terrain that can cover a 6x4 pretty well for some 40k games.

Cool PM sent!

I am also free this weekend to give a test run.

He means at Mike Fox's house.

And the answer is no, as far as I'm aware.
