Cleaner Look, New Focus

posted ‎‎Sep 30, 2009 4:41 AM‎‎ by Sryth D   [ updated ‎‎Oct 2, 2009 4:14 PM‎‎ ]

New Look
I have decided that the old site was a little to cluttered so I am starting up this one. Stay posted as I build up this site. 

New Projects
I have decided that I need to refocus my efforts to a couple of projects that I have had a lot of interest in for a long time. The first project is something I have been meaning to do for a long time and that is a revision of the Mageknight rules to better reflect modern miniature gaming along with allowing 1.0 and 2.0 figures to play better with each other as well as integrating conquest rules better. I should have a first draft of the revisions in the next couple weeks. The second project is a total conversion of Cadwallon to the Cortex system. Let me first say that I love the Cadwallon world and the material is awesome but the rules are a little hard to play with so I am converting it to one of the best role playing gaming system I have found.
Current Game Design Projects
  • MK Combined, a fan made rebuild of the basic Mageknight Rules combining the best of both Mageknight 1.0,2.0,Dungeons and Conquest. This rule varient will be compatible with all release Mageknight material.
  • Cadwallon to Cortex, a total conversion of the Cadwallon Tactical RPG by Rackham to the Cortex system.

Project Lion Discontinued and News updates

posted ‎‎Mar 23, 2009 5:34 AM‎‎ by Sryth D   [ updated ‎‎Mar 23, 2009 7:27 AM‎‎ ]

Project Lion Discontinued
    Its a said day but I am going to be removing all of the project Lion content in the next few days. It was a great project while is lasted and it will make way for a new and improved project using my own custom rule set and an existing model range.

Ambush Alley Gencon
  
 Its been a while since I have posted but I have been really busy preparing for our upcoming Ambush Alley events for Gencon 2009. A lot of good progress has been made and I would say that we are about 1/4 of the way through production with. The biggest hurtle at this point is the terrain construction which I am making a lot of head way on.

JSD Designs Painting and Assembly Service
    I am currently in the process of relocating my information on my painting service as well as gearing up to take on some more commissions as the Ambush Alley Terrain clears out.

Other News
    Its been a pretty slow couple of months specially with the currently state of the economy and work. Its been kind of nice as I have had time of work on some terrain and get some painting done I otherwise would not have.

Current Projects:

Ambush Alley Gencon: We are in heavy production for our upcoming events at Gencon and making good progress.

Infinity X-Cam: A set of Campaign rules for Infinty using the X-Campaign system created by Russ Wakelin of the D6 Generation Podcast

Formula B: A die based racing game with a resource management twist. Currently on Hold pending other projects.

Warmaster: My local group is starting to get into Warmaster expect to see some updates on this project as miniatures start to roll in.

On the Workbench:

Lands of Leonas,Operation Paradisco,Other Projects

posted ‎‎Nov 28, 2008 6:00 AM‎‎ by Sryth D

Lands of Leonas
    It is with some consternation that I am announcing I am ceasing development on Lands of Leonas. This is in no way a reflection on Unbridled Fury as I believe that it is a great system and I wish the developers the best of luck with the rule set. I simply find myself spending time on other projects. If anyone is interested in working on Lands of Leonas I would be more than willing to make available all of the source material I used to create the armies. For anyone interested in downloading the definitive document with all of the Lands of Leonas rules and armies check of the Project: Lion page.

Operation Paradisco
    Not long ago I was really into the game Infinity and developed a set of scenarios to be played on one of the planets described in the rulebook. With the release of the 2nd edition rulebook my interest in the games has been sparked again and I have begun revising the scenarios and rules to make for a better more streamlined game.

Formula B

    Still in the early testing phases I believe that I have developed a solid rule set for a miniature racing game that has a solid resource management system that is easy to play but deep strategic play as well.

Terrain
    I have been bitten by the terrain bug again and I currently planing out at least 3 tables for Infinity. More information as it is available.



Current Projects:

Operation Paradisco Revised: A set of scenarios for Infinity set on the jungle planet of Paradisco

Formula B: A die based racing game with a resource management twist


Unbridled Fury 0.7.2 released, Other Updates

posted ‎‎Nov 12, 2008 3:45 AM‎‎ by Sryth D

    Now that 0.7.2 is out I will be going back over all of the profiles and making any necessary updates. I will also be making so changes to the history to work in design changes as they pertain to each army.

    I know that is been a little slow around here that last few weeks to be honest I haven't tested in a couple of weeks so thing have been at a bit of a stand still. With that said Heroes of Leonas still looks good for a Mid November release however Lands of Leonas Wave 2 will probably be pushed back to early December it all depends on how much development I am able to finish in the next few weeks.

Plague Born

posted ‎‎Oct 27, 2008 5:05 AM‎‎ by Sryth D   [ updated ‎‎Oct 28, 2008 8:30 AM‎‎ ]

    I would like to announce the release of the final Lands of Leonas army that will be included in the 1st release of the Lands of Leonas PDF, the Plague Born.

    Its been and interesting few months and a lot of changes have been made but I think that we are well on our way to creating a fun and exciting setting for the Unbridled Fury game system. With that said the hard work is not over. I am going to be working to round out the current armies by testing and the addition of key profiles.

    Currently we are on track to meet my own personal goal of having a PDF ready to go by the end of January and the release of the Plague Born gives us the push to head in to the arduous stretch of balancing and testing. Expect to see more changes to both army lists and rules as we more forward as well as the release of Unbridled Fury 0.7.2 which should make things interesting.

People of Phocas and Sub-Commanders

posted ‎‎Oct 17, 2008 7:26 PM‎‎ by Sryth D   [ updated ‎‎Oct 27, 2008 3:23 AM‎‎ ]

People of Phocas   
    The People of Phocas are now complete and posted on the site check the link in Navigation to find our latest army.

Sub Commanders
    Since the People of Phocas has a class based society the must rely on sub-commanders to keep their army in check and functioning. In order to due this they use Sub Commaders, sub commanders are troops that are assigned a command die that they may use to effectively command their unit.

Sub Commander Rule
    During the Command Check before each turn roll all command dice from all Commanders of the army, Only models that are actually assigned as the Commander or Sub Commander may have their dice included in the Command Roll, characters with command dice that are not actually commanding are not included.
     Once the dice are rolled the total result is used as normal however the individual dice for each commander are give back to the model the result indicating how many orders they may us on units they command. The Commander may use his activations to command any unit not under command by a sub commander. Sub Commanders may only use their available activations to command their units.
    Sub Commanders can order any unit that they are within 3 inches of. Sub Commanders may issue orders without joining the unit they are commanding.


Final Army
    With the People of Phocas done focus to turn to the final army. What is that final army? Well they are a dark,evil army bent and revenge and destruction of all live on Leonas. The Plague Born are remnants of the 1st escaped dwarves and elves during the initial days of Zeno experimentation in the efforts to find a cure. Unlike the Everliving the Plague Born have retained control over there now warped minds making them a very dangerous foe.

Orcs Playtest and Honor Guard of Godric

posted ‎‎Oct 17, 2008 3:25 AM‎‎ by Sryth D   [ updated ‎‎Oct 27, 2008 3:23 AM‎‎ ]


Orcs Playtest
    I was able to get in a couple of games last night with the Orcs and the latest version of the Everliving and I will say that while that game was very lopsided the may problem I seemed to have was with the penalty resulting from a wound. It seems like once my models got wounded that model was as good as dead. We experimented with this a bit in the second game by only applying a -2 penalty to all rolls when wounded and surprising the game was a lot more fun still very bloody but it didn't feel as lopsided as it was before. In the 1st game at the end of the second turn of activations my army was wiped in the second game we actually made it to 49 activations. We also tested my latest version of Mass combat resolution and while it can take a bit to resolve melee combat the system worked very smoothly and we were able to cruise through multiple combat rounds with may figures involved. Overall I learned a lot in those couple game mainly that the Orcs were way to cheap point wise but the proper feel is there. I also learned that the Everliving need some form of ranged combat. Expect to see updates to the Orcs and the Everliving lists very soon.

Honor Guard of Godric
    Many of you may have noticed that the Dwarf army had some changes made to it in th last couple days. Basically I have added in the profiles I was going to add as a sub faction and removed a profile that was causing some problems both on a rules standpoint and the point that I couldn't find a lot of models to represent.

Up next
    The People of Godric list is complete and ready for testing I just have to clean it up and post it to the site. There are some interesting complexities to the basic Human army

Mid October Releases and Artistic Opportunity

As promised I have some new releases

Miniature Recommendations Page
  
  I am going to say that this page is ready for release as I have recommendations for all most all of the entries of course the page is going to be fluid as I am always finding new models to add as well as new profiles to add.

Quick Reference Guide
    This document has now gone to PDF format to make it a bit easier to print and have handy during games. Check out the link to get to the page the PDF download is located at the bottom in the attachments section.

Honor Guard of Godric
    I am still working out the kinks for the HGG so expect to see the in a week or so.

Other Developments

    I am currently working on the beta release of the PDF for the 1st Land of Leonas release. This PDF will contain the contents of this site in an easy to use format.
 
Artistic Opportunity
    I am looking for a partner to work with me to develop the world of Leonas through art. I would 1st like to say that this is in no way a paying job. There is a possibility that if we are able to get the setting published then there will be compensation involved based on sales but we will cross that bridge when we get to it. The major thing I am looking for is someone who is interested in working on quality art to bring Leonas alive. I also have some ideas about doing paper miniatures so someone who can do fronts and backs of dynamic character would be great. Again I am not asking for much a dedicated arstist that is truely interested with average skills is often better than the genius that doesn't care about the subject matter.

    Anyone interested in working on the project and getting some experience and possible a foot in the door on the game publishing business please send me some of you work or just contact me at sryth.varo@gmail.com

Magic System

I know I initially said that I was not intersted in including magic into Leonas but I had an idea earlier today so I thought I would flesh it out some more low and behold I believe I have a system that works with Unbridled Fury and adds another facet to Lands of Leonas.
