Well, may as well toss up the other volcano'y image I have.
Standard setup included for reference. Generally the greens and yellows (in this image) aren't popular choices due to the difficulty of capturing pieces from the center compared to the edge. (at least that's what I've seen)
This is my Mad Rabbit Bio, I pasted it here to spell check and figured I'd post it...
I heard about the mad rabbit program when I purchased a copy of Fluxx [v3.1] for my cousin to gage his interest in card/board games. I felt it was a good introduction to such games as well as being a perfect metaphor for how I wanted to go about introducing them (the rules start simple, but then grow in complexity, often in unexpected directions). So I managed to get him and his mother playing the game, I don't know if they understood it, but I should find out the next time I see them. Anyways, I saw the Lab Rabbit card while being just that, and decided to jump on here.
As for me, I play games from anywhere that seems interesting. I have played a great deal of the games from loony labs, but have purchased them more often for other people than for myself it seems (actually, my personal copy of Fluxx drowned to death *sob*). I also play a lot of games by Avalon Hill, Fantasy Flight Games, Steve Jackson, Cheapass, and Out of the Box (not to mention countless one-game companies).
I got some fanart for having a neat name
Thanks Alison!
Other recent happenings: I now have a pile of pretty pyramids, 4 copies of Fluxx* (the reports of my copies death were greatly exaggerated, it was merely hiding in Chez Geek.), Aquarius, AYAW?, Nanofictionary, Cosmic Coasters (which I love to death),
* I thought my first copy died, so I bought another (with flowers), then I ordered a free flowers and fluxx with another order, and picked up the AYAW? Demo kit, which came with one as a prize... so add to that my newly found old copy... and I have four. Oh, and they're all version 3.0 strangely enough.
| Health Accounting Example: |
| A character is attacked with a 5d weapon and hit. The defending character has a base health of 2 and is wearing light armor. Attack roll: 6+6+5+3+3 = 23 Defense roll: 6+6+3 = 15 Now the character loses one health, and decides to lose the health from the armor. So now they have 2 health left (effectively taking no damage). |
| Wound Accounting Example: |
| A character is attacked with a 5d weapon and hit. The defending character has a base health of 2 and is wearing light armor. Attack roll: 6+6+5+3+3 = 23 Defense roll: 6+6+3 = 15 Now the character takes one wound, and since they took 1 point of damage their armor is discarded. Now if you subtract wounds from health, the character has one health point left. |
Here's a rendering of ee0r's tri-chess board (for playing martian chess with anywhere from 2-6 people).
I finished the two and one pointers, and proudly display them on a barren sketchup-scape.
[11:41] thelonegoldfish: I'm thinking of running a douglas adams style dnd game... (like a normal dnd game, but with random narritive monologs about the strange properties of certian things as the players come across them.)
[11:44] thelonegoldfish: "As you bash in the door you see a small thin reddish rust colored lizard standing in the room, obvously a kobold; Kobolds are quite possibly the second worst tasting creatures in the known world, so much so that not even spice grubs can make them palletable. While they don't smell bad or have any outward appearance to warn such, they leave an aftertaste so horible that some createures have been known to starve to death after taking just one bite of kobold meat."
[11:44] thelonegoldfish: "Drawing on their ability to be universally rejected as a food source, they have gone into the unsavory professions of banking and trade almost exclusivly..."
[11:46] thelonegoldfish: Of the seven saccred condiments, spice grubs are the most often requested for passing at the table of ambrosia, where the gods meet in uncomfortable silence every thanksgiving and christmas."
[11:47] thelonegoldfish: In fact, that's where the phrase "pass the grub" originated...
[11:49] thelonegoldfish: There is even a level of hell for bankers and salesmen, where kobolds are foribly devoured by non-koblold bankers... it's still debated as to whom suffers more in this arrangment...
[11:51] thelonegoldfish: Oh. almost forgot "Light Grog"
[11:53] thelonegoldfish: Light grog was not brewed for flavor, or even to make water drinkable, but rather for it's stability when teleported...
[11:53] thelonegoldfish: This led to it's availablility in almost any tavern in the known/unknown universe...
[11:55] thelonegoldfish: It may taste bad, but it's safe to drink and alchoholic, so it's drunk quite frequently... some customers even claim to have developed a taste for it... though it's mostly out of fear of trying something new and not being able to stomache the cheap and available light grog the next time they're forced to drink it....
