I wrote an adventure called the Cleaved Boar Inn that is about half a dozen plot hooks and NPCs all of which take place inside of the inn. It might be the sort of thing you are looking for or at least give you some ideas to twist to your own needs. It also includes a printable map of the Inn...

I throw my vote in for Xeno Wars.

So I have designed little hand out cards for every player ability, soldier tactic, soldier stratagem, gear, gear effect, gear feature, and zone feature in the Tier 1 game. I have also designed 6 pre-generated soldiers and included the necessary extra cards because some soldiers have the same...

So had my first melt-down playtest session. I was playing with a group of avid boardgamers who are not rpgers. Here is the feedback. They loved the tiles we used for making the map. I think I can design 6 tiles on one page and they can print them off as necessary if they want. They loved...

Ok, I know it has been a month without an update so here it is. There have been no major changes to the rules in nearly a month. However a major overhaul of the system rules has occured. Based upon further feedback and playtesting. Capture the Flag is the hands down favorite version of the...

Team Race Matches are now more like a Roller Derby match. One Jammer who scores the points, and everyone else splitting offensive and defensive duties. It was the easiest way to score a match.

Sent the "lite" version of the Battlejack rules to Vigilance Press today. It includes 47 of 78 pages of the rules. An excellent preview!

Quick question loyal readers, how many of you are actively following this thread even if you don't really have any comments on it? Could you post just an "Interested" or something. I am just wondering, I seem to be getting a good number of views, but not really any thoughts from people, and...

So the Battlejack RPG is a GM +1 player up to a GM +5 players ruleset. The rules are designed for GMs to create their own 2d side scrolling metroidvania style maps that they run the soldiers through. It captures what I think are the great elements of classic games like Metroid, Castlevania...

We playtested a 2 vs 2 Capture the Flag match this weekend. Had a blast, two of us built our soldier's seperately of each other and played on a team, the other two built their soldiers together to see what sort of synergies they could work out. In the end, the match was a draw with the win...

Ok, lots of changes, here is the list of developments for the game. Player abilities and soldier stratagems changed to uses per life. So three points, three uses. Everyone kept forgetting the Recharge phase. Added effect and feature slots to gear, changed prices to reflect upgradeability...

So the trip to Seattle for playtesting was a huge success. Thanks to all of the playtesters who showed up to play in at least one of the thirteen matches we played last weekend. Thanks to the Canterbury for happily putting up with us gaming in their dayroom for the whole day. It is very...

Chuck agrees. Look for a Lite version to become available on PDF. I am heading to Seattle this week for a final round of playtesting. Barring any major bugs we find with the large scale matches, it should be ready to send for editing and layout. I hear the artwork is almost completed. So I...

Does anyone have any interest in seeing a "Lite" version of the rules? This version removes all of the betting dynamics, no magic system, and none of the "extras" like zone features etc. It ends up being about 19 pages, but is geared more towards younger gamers. In essence a dive in and play...

Some more exciting developments. In true to life form, players can now place a wager on a match. Think you know which soldier is going to win the match, now you too can reap the profits. The side benefit of this type of match is the players in the match gain bonus chips for playing the match...

So the game is being played quite a bit by us, in fact you can follow the current world rankings on twitter. I haven't had any of my playtesters post about it because they were part of the development and I don't want to have people thinking we are fabricating reviews. Would anyone be interested...

Here are some of the answers to questions I have gotten from other forums about the game. What medium am I using? It is starting out as a pen and paper game and will be available in PDF in approximately 2 months through Vigilance Press. It sounds like another gun-toting soldier game. The idea...

Great news! The publisher made me an offer yesterday for the right to publish the Battlejack core rules as a PDF. More news to come.

Well I am pretty freakin good at simple math and probabilities because of D & D and I have actually learned quite a bit about various histories and geographical regions because of research done for strongly themed adventures I have created and ran. Deductive reasoning and puzzle solving skills...
