Throw out all your plastic and metal. This Week’s post unveils the fastest miniature game in town.
Want to go PEG-RACING?
Okay, get yourself some clothes pegs, ideally a few different sizes.
Break them open and glue them together till they look like something from WipEout (or F-Zero if you're less cool).
Prime them. I also added some little sticky dots before this.
Paint them and CURSE HOW MUCH IT SUCKS TO PAINT WOOD.
I'm told it would apply more easily if I gave them a coat of PVA or sealant spray before painting but WE GOTTA GO FAST HERE.
Set up a track with checkpoints.
Race.
Shoot at each other.
Keep hitting those checkpoints till somebody wins.
F-MAC: Formula MAC is a one-sheet grav-racing miniature game based loosely on the MAC ATTACK system.
It's barely tested, and certain builds are probably broken. Go and find out for yourself.
Elsewhere
Areas of Effect, a TTRPG symposium, is happening this weekend in London, and I’m chairing one of the panel discussions.
All Dead Generations presents a world through its rumours and talks about this method.
Fae Errant tackles a topic close to my heart, difficulty numbers in RPGs.
Coming Soon
Over on Patreon I talk about some of the difficulties I’ve had running a Traveller campaign by-the-book.
I'm three sessions into my Mongoose Traveller campaign. That's one session of lifepath character creation and two of regular play. So far we've had a lot of fun, and the players have all brought their A-game, but how has it been to run?
Challenging.
Expect the full post here and on the blog next week.

Check out the Super Cheap Wargamming group on Facebook; they've been doing some amazing things with clothes pegs. There's a plethora of rulesets available for your naval/space combat needs.
I really, really want to have a set of those minis as desk toys…
