Any of you hear of Gaslands? It's a vehicle miniature wargame that uses Matchbox cars or other similar type cars. Sounds kind of interesting.

That sounds cool!

I wanted to design a TTRPG using Legos, kinda inspired by the Pirates of the Spanish Main and Rocketmen constructable card games from WizKidz.

I gave it some serious thought. PC & NPC minis would be made with legos. As you took damage, you'd remove pieces. Brick color would also have some kind or function.

i stopped because I realized how much prep time it would cost to run a game, not to mention the ACTUAL expense of doing so, I mean, a dragon would be a big time sink and would be pricey as hell to build. And that’s assuming your critter design wasn’t unstable and simply fell apart.

IOW, ultimately impractical.

squash is something you do to bugs, not eat.

A woman used the barcode from a can of Play-Doh to buy $500 worth of goods for $68. She scanned the barcode in her hand 38 times instead of the other items. No Play-Doh was found amongst the items.

I've heard of it before, but never actually got around to looking into it... I also thought it sounded pretty cool - not least of all because I used to take weapons off of plastic airplane, helicopter and battleship models and put them on car models to make CAR WARS-style vehicles.

I've heard the name Car Wars but know nothing about it. It's a similar game?

Car Wars was a combat boardgame that came out in the late 1980s from Steve Jackson Games. Think Mad Max and Deathrace 2000 and you're on track (so to speak).

It had several supplements, inspired at least one videogame (Autoduel), and as I recall, there may have even been RPG rules for it.

Its not simple, but it’s less complex in many ways than games like Battletech or Star Fleet Battles.

It's also got a new edition done via kicker starter Car Wars Sixth Edition by Steve Jackson Games and a card game Car Wars

I finally filed my taxes. Now I'm waiting for my Trump check.

I've noticed, while watching the cryptocurrency market, they all go up and down at the same time, a lot of the time. Bitcoin is the one major exception. That's likely due to its volume and volatility.
