Hey all. Been away awhile, but that is only because I've been trying to make a conscious effort not to play too much other naval games, though I still love BFG. Its like trying to sing a song while listening to another song, and my attention span is already questionable. I just wanted to say that that game I talked about a year or two ago, the one that started out as a spiritual successor to BFG, I finally am close to launching it.
I see a good few of the old posters are here, that makes me happy. I love the subtle changes going over the BFG:R stuff, it feels so right. Here is the synopsis:
Clockwork Armada is something that's been in development the past three years. It is set in an alternate universe called the Fields of Celestae. Imagine if the laws of physics and the universe were based on centuries outdated theories and pseudo-science, and you begin to get an idea of things. Ships sail between flat worlds on the eternally upward rushing winds of space. Rough aesthetic inspirations include Last Exile and Treasure Planet, and my general love of all things warship related.
Pictures of some game pieces, art, and a few of the assembled models can be seen on twitter.com/gamefleet, and there will be some painted examples by the end of the week.
The game is based around a one roll d10 system and uses a Course Ruler to move the ships that I am excited to share. Segmented, one inch pieces allow for more nimble ships to use higher degrees of turn, while armed-to-the-teeth, more cumbersome battlecruisers may struggle to line a canny opponent up in their fire arcs. Ship bases include all the relevant heading and fire arc data for ease of play. I just wanted to share this and answer any questions, as I am excited to build a discussion on the project.
Edit: why in the world is my post count at 12? I've made hundreds of posts on here at least 0.o
