[sam_levi_11]

yea in that style it would be good,
-
wca - is your village set in middle ages times (ish) coz in this day and age that would never happen with all o the super markets/public services,
so is it set in middle ages or in your fantasy worl d'you not have the public serives/supermarkets (lol about supermarkets)

they have places where they sell food?!?!?!?! *throws down hunting spear and grabs cash*
jk jk

if it goes well u could make a modern day version where they are trapped in a supermarket

How about a 'thief of Baghdad' theme.. you could have 'magic carpets' to bombard and 'magic lamps' to to give you a double loss to your opposition.. or something.

[jiminski]

Or perhaps a 'Dune' board... you could either do it on Arrakis (Dune planet) [bigimg]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3d/Map_Arrakis.jpg[/bigimg]

.. or you could have a spice based warp from 'house' planets to the next.

lol,
i think your refering to family guy, (they had seomthing like that on family guy)

[jiminski]

hehe .. not really sure what you mean mate .. but i now have an image in my head of the fat bloke in a belly dancing outfit!

so shame on you!

[TaCktiX]

Or perhaps a 'Dune' board... you could either do it on Arrakis (Dune planet)

That would be fricking awesome. Anybody know who to get in touch with copyright-wise so we could pull this off? I love the Dune series (Frank Herbert original ones, haven't looked at the more recent offerings).

It is utter genius mate! great great book!
i guess they could either change certain aspects to get around copyright, or Lack could buy the rights and then sell them to "Hasbro" so they can make the board game but keeping the rights to for the site of course! (he can keep my finders fee)

But there is a political aspects Monster Worms, Space-time travel induced by psychoactive Spice... the gameplay options are limitless... all we need is a talented fella, who is a sci-fi geek like us! .... ....Bryguy! where are ya!?

[t-o-m]

i think it would help if i acctually read some books, or took a "How To Become a Geek" crash course
hmm...

[herndawg]

OK this is A, the dumbest idea ever that just might be a crazy enough idea to be rather popular or............A, it is just dumb

-Russian Roulette - Two player only
-Two six-guns facing each other. Really cool graphics on them and background graphics of poeple looking on, holding up money, maybe even crazy smilies or whatever it just hast to be great to make up for the fact this isn't even a risk like game whatsoever.
-One army each, shown in the trigger area

Why in the heck?
Obviously there would be no skill, just dice and gambling on who gets to go first so this would be like a dispute settler or actual pure gamble to get points. You may decide to deploy and not attack cause chances are better that way or hit auto and probabally win. Doodle earth is accused of just a point grabber based on the drop and who goes first. This is just that and for those who like to gamble for points.

Anyway, maybe I just wasted 5 minutes of my time and 1 minute of yours

[wcaclimbing]

herndog, that idea won't happen.

They (the Foundry staff) don't allow games that are based on luck.
I would post a quote of where they said that, but I can't seem to find it right now....

[herndawg]

Well fair enough. And I realized I put Russian Roulette instead of the cowboy quickdraw whatever it is called. Thats what it would be more like. And a coin toss for points. Anyway, here is to wasting precious letters in the alphabet. Cheers

youve already posted that image before stop spamming

hmm...

hehe, I do a weekly course.. woo the chick-action is amazing!

There was a very 'visually interesting' movie and a big-budget mini series made of Dune too.

Neither did the books justice of course... but if you have not read the book they are pretty entertaining.

this would obviously need a map maker who had read the book though to really utilize the concepts.
