I hope you’re not aiming at the Grognard demographic but at a wider audience.t’d be great to have this game be accessible to more casual gamers as well; it has a great setting that shouldn’t be kept to a confined circle of elite rule masters.

I hope you’re not aiming at the Grognard demographic but at a wider audience. While I can understand that some people think of 40K as “Chutes and Ladders pt 2″, I do not share that opinion, and I’m absolutely not dumb. Thanks for this useful blog. visit this site please Vertical Blinds

I dumped a collection of 20 years of 40K recently after I decided that the next edition was going to be about as complex as Shutes and ladders. I’m absolutely not dumb. It’d be great to have this game be accessible to more casual gamers as well; it has a great setting that shouldn’t be kept to a confined circle of elite rule masters.Anyway, thanks for sharing.

Take a look at their website and if you like it you might want to take a tour on campus and best thing of all they will mail you their course catalog.

Cool, thanks

what if you were to attack again and ended up hitting the same number again? what happens?

lastly could you tell us roughly how big the stat cards will be for the ships. I read that the cards at the demo were over sized for demo purposes.

Are we looking at poker sized cards or something bigger?

thanks

Sparx,

Refer to the last picture. The numbers on the left (11, 12, 12, 14, etc) represent the armor value for that location, and each location is numbered 1-6. When firing on a ship, you roll your damage dice along with a d6 to find the hit location. If the damage dice rolled beat the armor value (or tie?) of the location rolled on the d6, that location is lost. So, if you were attacking with a gun and the hit location die rolled a 5, you would need to roll beat a 15 on your damage dice to destroy that location.

During the demo, we rolled the location die along with all the damage dice for that attack.

So how does damage exactly work?

What is the number you have to roll to beat? In other words what is the armor rating of the ship? (where is it locate?)

good idea with the three rule sets, personally i like a chalenging in depth game, but sometimes you just want to sort off “plug n play”.
i play a certain ccg that i have a lot to do with as well and that uses 2 rule books, easy and hard, well done

Please, don’t make the game to complex. There’s already a lot of what some people call “intellectually challenging” and others call “hardcore friggin complex” games, yet there are few games that are simple but elegant. I hope you’re not aiming at the Grognard demographic but at a wider audience. While I can understand that some people think of 40K as “Chutes and Ladders pt 2″, I do not share that opinion, and I’m absolutely not dumb.
