Hi all
Finished up my thoughts on the Arax expansion characters.
I'm hoping you'll take a look and let me know your thoughts.
Add any thoughts on character balance in other games too.
I'll be running one of these characters though an adventure or two.
Enjoy your weekend folks :)

A post by Guy Bowers, designer of Black Ops. Card activation is very convenient when solo playing skirmish games. Maybe this also applies to combat-oriented solo role playing...

I haven't had a lot of time for solo gaming for quite some time now. But when the final draft of Advanced Song of Blades and Heroes was released to the kickstarter backers, I decided to make them. And I wanted to share the fun I've been having with you guys.

The thing I love about solo wargaming is that I can be a bit selfish. I prefer hex maps because terrain gets bumped around and tape measures can be awkward. I also prefer indulging my creativity behind a mouse and keyboard, not so much with a paint brush.
So for my solo wargaming I've been buying Krosmaster Arena figures. I enjoy their design, and my creative impulses are sated as I create new star card designs to replace those that come with them.
I also picked up a space based wargame that came with a very nice blank hexmap sized at about 1.5" per hex. Under plexiglass this has become my dream wargame set up. I may never play the game it came with (the rule book is a bit of a mess), but I use game pieces the way most people use Legos.
The pictures attached shows my current game in process as the Khaotic Rebels push from the right to claim territory from the Ashland Guardians. I also added a photo of the included card art and the new stat blocks I made for them using the new game rules. My preferred card design app is Microsoft Publisher. If anyone is interested I can pass along the pdf for the cards I've made and the Publisher file with the cards and my template.
I had to leave this game in process, which is another advantage to solo wargaming; If I get busy my opponent is always willing to wait.

As the new year really starts for me now, I'm looking forward to my possible 'projects' and the different blogs I have.

Basically should I consolidate my current 3 blogs? Or do others have multiple blogs for different genres and projects?
