My new side project: AE-what?

[Scorpio]

So. A certain friend of mine has expressed interest in trying out one of those miniature games that I play. Quizzing her for details, I find out that she likes specific goals (easily models with scenarios and objectives,) low model counts, and... a fantasy setting.

I toll around for a bit on the shelf of games I've bought and played over the years, and then, I figure, it's been a while since I challenged myself. Which is why I started writing AE-Fantasy.

Well, that's not entirely true. One of the reasons I pared down on all the games I was 'playing' to just a couple is because I find I know a system a lot better when I don't switch games every week. Which is why I've only played AE-WWII and Pulp City for 90% of the games I've played in the last 18 months. And it's done wonders.

Bounty slotted right in there with AE. And, the system is very adaptable, so... I just spent my lunch hour working on a Bounty team, to use with fantasy figures, for a few introductory games, to show how these things go. Lizardmen will be Graffi, one will have a Cloaking Field Talisman, etc. Everything is counts-as, no crazy ranged weapons. Will be melee-tastic fun. Only stumbling block so far is not a lot of variety in melee weapons, but shouldn't be an issue for the first couple games. Might (might) try to reintroduce the classic D&D piercing/slashing/crushing vs. different armors rules, if it gets around to that.

It's a fun exercise, and I'll make sure to post results once it's all done.

Nice. Post your factions, lists, heros and everything else you come up with.

Very cool! Can't wait to see what you come up with.
