I have yet to buy the cards from Artscow but think they are cool. I'll take a look at your file, as one can never have too man resources. Perhaps also looking into how to include the event mechanic in ones games.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-50897958240839131282013-05-20T19:29:35.677+01:002013-05-20T19:29:35.677+01:00Doug, good luck with your new venture - I'm su...Doug, good luck with your new venture - I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Irregular make some decent miniatures, usually cheaper than other manufacturers. GZG models are good too, though there are many fine spaceships available from other places as well.<br /><br />As for your contest, if it were me then I think I'd decide on the prize(s) in advance rather than letting the winner(s) choose them. The latter sounds a bit too complicated to work well. Just my opinion...Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-24887547242908851542013-05-20T01:54:50.610+01:002013-05-20T01:54:50.610+01:00Hugh- I will have to check these out, thanks in pa...Hugh- I will have to check these out, thanks in part to you I am about to embark on my own voyage into Space/Star Ship combat gaming. Your posts on the Irregular Miniature Spaceships helped push me into the "Yeah lets do this" mode instead of the " This might be an interesting project" mode. I was able to find a US distributer of the Irregular Miniature ships thanks to the www.star-ranger.com site. I will hopefully be ordering the Imperial, Confederate fleet packs along with some of their other ships like the freighters and some of the Fighters.<br /><br />I also ordered a thing of cheap plastic spaceships (144 of them) to use while I wait for the Irregular Miniature ships, and to use as generic non faction specific ships.<br /><br />I am also looking at getting some of the GZGs Full Thrust ships too.<br /><br />Still haven't decided on if I will do Full Thrust or 5150 Star Navy for the rules yet. Have both and am currently reading them.<br /><br />I will probably be ordering a copy of your Full Thrust event cards, especially since I like your ATZ event cards, even if I don't go the Full Thrust route, just to have them.<br /><br />BTW I am having a mini contest of sorts over on my Zombie blog as a kickoff of the new project. I am letting my followers of the Zombie Blog vote on the name for my Primary faction. right now there isn't a prize, but I am thinking of offering one, though not sure what it will be yet, thinking either a Reaper Chronoscope mini of choice or a Starship mini of choice (will try to have 3 or 4 manufacturers available to choose from, and yes there will be a price limit so no $50USD metal/resin models, LOL)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489223839111201068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-71798539491486311702013-05-18T21:16:24.997+01:002013-05-18T21:16:24.997+01:00Well, I can't help you specifically with Aeron...Well, I can't help you specifically with Aeronef other than to say that it's not as difficult as it seems. I think the trick is to avoid events that are totally overpowering. For inspiration, I often look to real-world incidents or to literature & films of related genres. Perhaps Jules Vernes' "Master of the World" or H. G. Wells' "The War in the Air" might help?<br /><br />Here's a title to get you started for Aeronef: "Stowaway". What effect does that have?Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-11070846105108841432013-05-18T18:45:04.530+01:002013-05-18T18:45:04.530+01:00This reminds me, I must get a set of your ATZ even...This reminds me, I must get a set of your ATZ event cards.

Your cards look superb and are quite amusing and although I personally don't like the Star Trek Theme it does have its merits as I would think that everyone knows the Star Trek Universe.<br />If and/or when I get my first FT miniatures a game or two under my belt I'll certainly be promoting the use of these as I've seen your use of the prototypes in several of your games.<br /><br />Nice one C6 ! <br />Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-13597024299250084622013-05-18T15:20:29.295+01:002013-05-18T15:20:29.295+01:00Cheers mate I keep meaning to organise myself to d...Cheers mate I keep meaning to organise myself to do one of these for a VCBW game.
