BOARD GAME CONTESTS

I have been recently looking for a possible board game contests to submit my game, "3 Tours Of War." However it is November and most conventions that hold these types of game submissions are all but done for the year.

I have found 3 possible conventions for the upcoming year that I might want to enter:

http://www.gamesconmemphis.com/ --> Oct. 2011
http://www.fallcon.com/ --> Oct --> 2011
http://www.saltcon.com/ --> Feb 2011

Submission fees are all pretty reasonable, but unfortunately none of these conventions are in California which would cost a lot of $$$ to travel to :-(
Being low on funds (due to cut-back hours @ work), is keeping me from being set on attending and submitting my work. I am however keeping my chin up on finding a contest here in California :-)
So if anyone hears anything about a gaming submission contest, please drop us a line and let us know!

SENTINEL OF LIBERTY

Here is some silliness for you to read :-D The events in this blog have never happened! This is simply the wishful thinking and daydreams of a cubicle monkey.


What if Captain America was teleported by the Red Skull with the use of the Cosmic Cube to a far away dimension; doomed by a galactic force known only as The Void! And unknown to the people of this dimensions earth; Cap joins with the American people who are currently amidst a raging war against terrorists from all around the world!



CAPTAIN AMERICA
THE SUPER SOLDIER'S STATS FOR 3 T.O.W.
--------------------------------------------------
- Hit Points: 6
- Equipment / Dragon Skin Armor:(custom / cannot be stolen) has 4 temp hit points that can be re-rolled to dismiss any wounds incurred on a d12 roll of 8+.
- Equipment / Shield: +4 to BS and can re-roll any miss once per turn.
- Real Men Don't Use Guns!: If Cap draws a "Bigger Guns" equipment card he must discard it immediately!
- Leader: +4 bonus to any non-ballistic skill open fire card.
- Super Soldier Serum: Cap can heal up 1d2 hit points per completion of tour.
- Super Agility: Cap can dismiss the quicksand open fire card if he encounters it. Cap can also move 1d8+2 spaces (round up the d8 when your movement is halved then add the +2).
- War Shout: Avengers Assemble!!! Any American soldier within 12 spaces of Cap (including himself) receives a +4 to all rolls, except death's movement (Once per game).

What a hero :-D

SOME RAINY DAY PROGRESS

With the cold rainy weekend setting the mood to a slow pace, I feel good knowing I got some work done on the game.


A.I.D.



This is A.I.D.(Artificial Intelligence Droid). After a month of game testing it looks like bumping up a special character (Field Medic) seems like a good idea to have in the core game.
A.I.D. is equipped with a much needed hypodermic needle gun used for healing wounded soldiers or removing conditions at a cost in points.
But I soon remembered that 3 T.O.W. takes place in the "real world" and sadly robot medical personnel do not exist in the real world :-(
So for that reason it looks like A.I.D. will have to wait for another game were his robot kind are more appreciated. I will design a female field medic in the upcoming week to replace A.I.D.



HOWLING HOIBERG
Since my good friend Chris has become a game tester, he is getting a peg-o made in his honor! This is a W.I.P. of Howling Hoiberg with a Cigar :-D



SWIZZLE


Swizzle was also completed this weekend! he is now equipped with his NDVR backpack, completed helmet, and magnetized base.



MALADROIT MACHINE

Last but not least, the maladroit machines base coat was added :-)
It still needs dark undertones and highlights, but I am glad I got this much done.

"No problem G.I. I train him to throw real far."

Player's Sheet / Captain's Log

Here are blank copies of the Player's Sheet and Captain's Log to help you keep track of your points through out the game :-D
