Fighters in the Void

Casey Garske’s “Voidfighter” is out and I’ve just had a chance to play. I enjoyed my first game with these rules and looking forward to the next. In support of my next out I’ve quickly refined my Space Werido QRS in support of Voidfighter.

Grab the first iteration of this QRS here. Find the Voidfighter rules here.

Finally a few snaps from our first game. There are some lovely custom cards prepared by my good friend, sadly they were not enough to save my brave rebels, none of us escaped the fist of the Emperor Jeff. 😦

Update 14 September

An online gaming buddy has asked if we could play Voidfighter online, sure why not. Here are a few snaps of an Owlbear Rodeo session I whipped up this afternoon. The ships are from FASA’s Renegade Legion: Interceptor.

RT Pocket

This thing isn’t mine, but it’s awesome

Back in 2021

In these dark times a glimmer of joy pieced my heart when a friend shared with me RT Pocket. Yes that RT, and it’s an amazing summary of the game. The most I did was upload to Lulu and futz with the cover a bit.

That’s Weird

SPAce…. WEirdOoos…

Our group has gotten ahold of Space Weirdos, an indie sci-fi skirmish game by Casey Garske. This is a tight little 16 page booklet, designed for custom warbands with low model counts.

There is a good deal of nuance tied up in these rules, and after my first play it was pretty clear that I needed a simplified reference during play.

My first effort was a literal cut and paste from the rulebook itself. While useful there were organizational changes I still wanted to make.

Next Generation

With a few games under our belts, I’ve bitten the bullet and worked up a one page QRS that suits my needs perfectly. You can grab the file here.

What’s all this, then?

I’m very pleased to announce a new line of miniatures, which I’m affectionately referring to as da’Worm & Co. I’ve always wanted Wormy miniatures and none were ever produced, so I’ve made my own.

Set 01 is priced at $40 each + at cost shipping ($9 for domestic US) and includes:

  • Wormy himself with cigar and pool cue options
  • Ace, cyclops
  • Hambone, cyclops hound
  • Irving da‘Imp

Contact me by September 28th to place your order, after which time no additional orders will be accepted. That means Set 01 is available in very limited quantities.

Please note: this is strictly a fan based – at cost effort, and offered for direct sales only. Funds raised will recover sculpting and casting costs, any remaining funds will be used to produce additional masters for this line, which again will be sold at cost. Shadow cat anyone?

These miniatures are hand sculpted, cast in metal, and are designed to scale with classic 25mm and modern 28mm miniatures. Photos should provide a good sense of scale.

Set 01 Assembled
Compared w/ 25mm Grenadier
Compared w/ 32mm Warduke

County Road Z1ed

Aron Clark1 Comment
Still from “Return of the Living Dead” – Prisma Gothic filter

…2022

I stumbled on miniature game County Road Z being played in 15mm at Pacificon. I quickly sourced the rules and set them aside for a someday project.

…2023

Again at Pacificon, flea market delivered a large zombie wargaming collection in 15mm and I committed to hosting a game soonest.

…2024

I studied the rules, prepared a quick reference, and hosted a game for friends at Kublacon.

…today

The following are on offer in a workbook that collects:

  • a quick reference
  • an X / Y sheet
  • a random survivor generator
  • a 3×5 character card

Some thoughts

County Road Z (CRZ) is a fine little game from a first time indie publisher, Jordan Heckman – Earthbound Games. Looking forward to seeing what comes next.

CRZ at its heart is a solo or co-op miniatures wargame; but I can see room here for multiple players participating in something closer to an RPG.

Game play is nicely segmented into a tactical game of fighting off the living dead and a strategic game of resource management.

There is a virtual tabletop version! No miniatures, no space, no time – no problem – play online when you can.

My copy of the rules and supporting assets are based on v1 and should be compatible with the latest Modipus version, v2.

v2 is described as being a new layout for the same core rules, but with new settings – equipment – monsters – and so on.

I’m unlikely to pick-up the latest version of CRZ, but feel free to get in touch and request any edits that are linked to v2.
