Here is a short interlude to my writing about Ratero.
SuperHero Dice is my other creation that I am working on at this time, the rules are just about complete and SuperHeroes are being created. I have an artist working on the designs for the heroes.
The first hero is Centurio, all round good guy, who packs a powerful energy punch, other powers include a Thunderclap that knocks all enemies within a certain distance down, he can regenerate damage done to him and he can create an energy shield with which he charges an opponent.
Trux is a Psychic Cyborg or Psyborg for short, who not only loves to get mean and dirty brawling with his opponents, but can unleash a psychic energy blast, his energy exo skeleton can use surronding energy to heal wounds and can also vibrate the molecules in the air bending light and rendering him invisible.
These are just two of the heroes that can slug it out in a battle royale.
The gameplay is simple and quick to learn, its a push your luck dice rolling game, the results on the dice power up your abilities, the more power the stronger ability you can unleash, but if you roll too many fatigue results, the attack fails due to over exerting yourself.
More detail coming soon and artwork as well.
Finally had a few friends over for some gaming the other night, we played Smash Up and fun card shuffling game, with players attempting to control bases using minions and powers. It saw my Dinosaur Pirates battling Zombie Robots, Wizard Aliens and Ninja Tricksters. It was a very close game but the Zombie Robots kept coming back from the grave to conquer all.
We then broke out the new X Wing minis game, with pre painted X Wings, Y Wings and Tie Fighters, this is a clever system that has templates for all the moves your ship can make, with players secertly selecting the move before the turn starts.
The game pitched my X Wing with Wedge and R2 D2 alongside a Y wing fight two Tie Fighters and an Advanced Tie Piloted by Darth Vader, the first game saw victory for the Imperial Side, but the second game the tide turned and after the Ion Cannon of the Y Wing weakened the Tie Fighters, Wedge proved his worth and finished off the two ties, Dart Vader destroyed the Y Wing and then it was a straight dog fight, that thanks to some great flying and shooting by wedge saw the Rebels victorious.
Its a great game.
