Plastic Miniatures are Over

And worldbuilding with rumours

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.

Check it out HERE.

• Areas of Effect, a TTRPG symposium, is happening this weekend in London, and I’m chairing one of the panel discussions.

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.
