CRUX: Universal Wargaming (advance release)
Added 2021-09-10 19:05:43 +0000 UTCHey! Well, we've finally gotten this thing to a state where we're playing it and it works in tandem with the CRUX: Universal Roleplaying rules. For those who have been following us over the years, you probably already know that this is something we've been working toward.
We've ordered some physical proofs, and we'll be releasing the PDF for free sometime in October (the greatest of all months), but for now this is available in its current form to our games-supporting patrons (those of you at the $10 level and higher). Those of you who have access to that level's reward folders can grab it now. (If you don't have access yet, read over the reward folder terms on our front page.)
So, no bones about it, these bones are bare. We've got plenty of pre-rendered settings in the works that feed off of this system (all of which will be fully compatible, of course), but this is a toolset for making your own content. That said, now that we're honing in on the foundation, we can really get those squared away. (Dissent!, Kingdoms of Hell, et cetera.) The art made for this piece formerly filled space in our OpenTactics document, but this is the book for which it was originally intended (and there's a new piece or two in there as well). We also want to put together a bunch of pre-made units based on our stuff and other popular designs by creators we work with, so if you have anything you'd like to see, let us know, and maybe we'll put a poll together for short supplements like that based on some of our ranges? (Sons of Dvalinn, Urzan Libery Corps, New Dominion, Earthenkind, et cetera.)
Also, we've updated the CRUX: Universal Roleplaying rules slightly (changed the terms of the Protection equipment feature), which came about while we were finalizing the wargaming rules, so grab that again too!
Anyway, that's it for now. We have some ridiculously huge news coming soon regarding another couple of projects, so keep posted for that. Have a great weekend, friends,
- the Ill Gotten Games team

If these rules will play well as a skirmish game, anthropomorphic Kung-Fu monks and supers are on my list!

2021-09-10 21:23:35 +0000 UTCAs far as stats supplements, I'd be interested in the ULC, Dominion, Risen of M'org, and the Coils of Chaos factions. So definitely put up a poll! :)
