The Conclusion of the Crosswise Albatross

This does not even come close to the epicness.

This Friday, the Voyage of the Crosswise Albatross will come to a close. There will be epicness, epicery and an epic amount of epic things happening epically.
It will be epic.
And then we will do some epic board gaming next week.
And then we will move on to further epicness after the holidays. Involving small cars. Also painting.

During the holidays, Gippsland Gamers will be running the traditional holiday program at Coal Creek. Details of this epic event can be viewed on this epic website. it's epic.

New Floor games for GG Holiday Program

I was at Bunnings on Saturday, and they had some cool little wooden car kits, about 8-10cm long. This got me thinking about the next school holiday program, and Mad Max (it's not hard to get me to think about Mad Max), and the inevitable development of a post-apocaylptic death racing floor game.
Road Warriors is still work in progress, but I can reveal:

• It uses rolled dice for combat results instead of throwing things at one another.
• Movement is governed by a template. Each car has one, and it also governs things like damage, speed and special actions.
• The more damage you take, the slower you go.
• There are currently four car types - Hot Rod, Rally Car, Street Machine and Monster Truck (based on the models available)
• Road Warriors will probably be debuted during the July holidays at the GG Holiday Program.
