[WIP] Metal Quest

Here are some of the concept for the new Metal Quest board game, finally a board game for quite sometime. When it is in beta phase, will you playtest it?

Mutants & Machine-guns version 3 (Draft)

Long, long time ago before the wars began, man was ruler of the earth. But one result of the terrible wars was that creatures rose from the ashes of the unknown. The genes of the earth's animals and plants were altered, until strange, new creatures arose - creatures of the awesome power and fierceness and often great intelligence.

You have lived all your years among such creatures and among the strange artefacts - inexplicable, often dangerous- of the Ancients who created this now devastated civilization whose ruins you live among the world of Mutants & Machine-guns!

Designer's Note: I finally made a draft for version 3 of MuMa (Mutants & Machine-guns)! I do hope people would playtest this rules and give feedback to me here or in facebook. The cover isn't finish though - I should have scanned the pencil version before inking it (drats!). Anyway please enjoy and do give feedback to improve this game :)

version 3.1 improve upon a few things
-smaller font for easier printing and booklet version for saving your ink cartridge!
-revise character points, everyone started low now.
-revise combat ability.
-add critters creation.
-drive is now control.

[Savage Flower Kingdom Bestiary] Cthonic Wyrm

Created by Matthew Urquhart

Illustrated by Brian Richmond

CTHONIC WYRM

Combat 3
Ability 1
Defence 10
HP 90
Damage Flame breath (2d6)

A huge, dark, worm like creature with a face full of writhing tentacles, this terror is thankfully quite rare. Cthonic Wyrms are often mistaken for dragons, hydras, even gorgons by the unwise and are rumored to be a curse on the land from dark and ancient gods. The beast travels underground, bursting up on prey. It then curls back it's tentacles, revealing a sucker-like, many-toothed maw that spews forth a flammable gas that petrifies those who breath it.

Monster skill: [Petrification] On a successful attack, roll 1d6. If the result is odd it may paralyze the victim! During his turn, he must make a Physical roll against TN of 7; if failed, he cannot move for the rest of combat.

This time Cthonic Wyrm which is created by Matthew Urquhart and illustrated by Brian Richmond of http://numberappearing.blogspot.com which I really like the illustration. His illustration rocks! Hopefully more and more people would contribute for Savage Flower Kingdom!
