Coming Soon

Over on Patreon I talk about a horrible damage system.

I'm testing out an alternative wound system for *clears throat* Intergalactic Bastionland.

This game is very much at the "throw everything into a document then take an axe to it later" stage, so take this with a heavy pinch of salt.

The intent is to tap into the visceral appeal of Scars from Electric/Mythic Bastionland, but have them occur every time a character is wounded.

Expect the full post here and on the blog next week.
