Small update: Perkustin has agreed to make art for the book for free as a sort of practice.

I'm considering adding on some more equipment; currently, it just seems quite limited. You've got essentially two mechanic modifiers with different intensities. Does anybody have any particular preference?

**Lord Magnus**

Still waiting on the possibility of an expanded armour system (or a confirmed no to said system) and possibly armour modifiers, as I said, would add some more depth/length to your game. (Which is simple and easy now, but could use a little bit more meat to make it more than simply a game you would play with friends)

**BlapBlapBlap**

That's pretty much the point of the game; it's not a highly competitive game. Having an in-depth game isn't my particular aim, rather a fun social game.

Also, I suppose I could add an armour penetration system?

I wouldn't complicate the game any further. Although my playtest wasn't strictly rules-legitimate, and I was solo-gaming, I felt that the level of detail was 'enough', if you get my meaning.

Adding anything more would push it that little bit over the edge from 'social game with depth' to 'argharghargh NO'.

I like it as it is. Get that artwork through, pretty-fy that PDF up, and I'd dare say you're good to go.

Fair enough, Maybe this isn't right for your game Blap, I will try testing if I can, life is mildly complicated right now, but if I can get a friend to play I will.

Of course I may be entirely wrong about it, and it could be the best addition to wargaming since Rogue Trader. You know the phrase; 'one man's WFB, another man's KoW...'

Haven't updated for a while, but just thought I'd let you know that the current set of rules has been put up on Wargame Vault for free.

This is essentially just to make it easier to update and distribute; each time I update, it'll tell you so you can download the newest version. Also, it distributes it better.

I'm nearly wrapped up with this. It's going to be a free ruleset, and I'll start working on the book for all of you wonderful playtesters soon. I'm really just waiting for the art, and then I'll be done and I'll move onto my next project with full focus; Warkin!

I know I posted stuff about Uberacer, but I tried and it just didn't work. So instead, I plan on doing this; a tabletop/card game fusion focused around single models, again with lots of flexibility but with much more depth than Uprise.

This looks very nice. The font reminds me of M:TG

**BlapBlapBlap**

I've got a real problem. I want to make more games, I really do, but everything in my life is currently going to hell...

I think that I won't be actually able to do, well, anything after Uprise, which is really disappointing for me, but there's currently a lot of stuff going wrong.

**LooT**

Aye, I know that feel. I guess that Warkin could wait for when whatever it is calms down. I like the look of it so far. Is it going to be based on the Uprise ruleset?

**BlapBlapBlap**

Nope. So far, I've got a sort of thing between CCG and Board Game.

**LooT**

Hmm, interesting, I haven't played a CCG in a long time, not since Yu-Gi-Oh was hip back in primary school

That and Magic: The Gathering was my childhood alongside the ol' Warhams.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with, because onwardz an' upwardz, I sez!

**BlapBlapBlap**

Ah, well, slowly chipping away at it. Slowly... Hopefully will be able to do some more tomorrow...
