Current Workbench

Well, not a lot of extra stuff to release this month since we sort of front-loaded with all the Monger material. We will have a new model each Monday, a multipart set based on those, and a Monger-Themed Pocket-Tactics set. I’m the meantime I thought I’d share a little of what I’m currently tinkering with.

Zinequest is coming up, and I’m toying with some CRUX stuff for a Kickstarter in February. I’ve been interested in doing a solo RPG module for a while, and I’ve been exploring examples of those to see what I could do with our house system. I’ve started writing out what’s basically a choose-your-own-adventure style game book featuring a stripped down (but still 100% compatible) version of the rules, and that’s looking really promising at the moment.

Although the eventual project will be a physical print run or print-and-play PDF (with some cards, maps, and paper standees), I’m writing the story to include characters from some of those Wayfarer sets that we’ve dropped on Patreon in the past but that have never seen an actual release/product tie-in (the Core City Security officers and Rogue Courtesy Mechs shown above, for example). I’ll be designing some new models to go along with those and the game will feature full miniature support for people who want that level of immersion.

The system itself is really falling into place. Paring it down is turning out to be a process of curation, not revision, which is really nice for cross-compatibility. There are also some sub-systems that simplify combat and make the experience more player-facing, which ultimately work as nice options for GMs who want to streamline play for simplicity. (The whole thing really could function as a “CRUX Basic.”)

I’ll have more on this as it develops and, if this gets crowd funded and goes to product Patreon supporters will have access to the stuff based on pledge level as a future monthly theme (including the old models, which will get a re-release).

Anyway, have a great weekend,
