Yeah......Right......That's going to happen
It is a week until Winter War in Champaign, IL and I still don't have all my stuff ready for the GASLIGHT game I am running!!!! I have finished the tents and the animals. I put seven rows of rivets on the Artillery Car for the Armored Train tonight (only 11 to go!!!) and I still need to rivet up the Armored Steam Engine. I put things away for the Holidays (people were suppose to come overbut didn't) and put the project off. I'll finish in time, but I'll need to put in alot of work this weekend. Sigh. Next time I will finish the project and to heck with my wife fussing over the mess just because visitors might show up. Yeah......Right......That's going to happen At least I have the cards ready. This time I used a Magic Card creator to make a card(s) for each unit. Each card has all the info on it for the unit. Instead of drawing a playing card, I just draw the unit card and hand it to the player. In my previous attempts at running the game, I found that players would forget which cards were their's and then be forced to dig through sheets to find the units stats. I am hoping that if there is a picture of the unit on the card and the stats right in front of them the game will flow better.

This is a great idea! I stopped by to "Oooh" and "Aaah" over your terrain and minis, but already had something scheduled that timeslot, so I didn't have a chance to play GASLIGHT, nor did I get to see the cards in action.

Agreed - great idea for the cards. How did they work out in the game?

Mysterious BillI've been gaming since the 1970's and even wrote some RPG adventures in the 80's for the Judges Guild. It seems that I can only get in miniatures is gaming at cons, but I do regularly play boardgames and RPGs. Archives
