This summer I'm planning to hold a gaming weekend during which all kind of gangs that have survived some sort of apocalypse are hunting for loot in a newfound territory. We plan to use our High Octane ruleset, which consists mostly of Gorka morka rules wxcept for humans with more human like cehilces. We used this before in a mad max like setting. Here after I described the campaign as far as it is planned and will write any new ideas. Off course I'm open for suggestions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new part of the wastes has been discoverd where supplies can be found... All gangs want this!
During the game players first move out into a new part of the wastes where they hope to find supplies for their enclave/gang/whatever. The initial phase of the game is the “recon” scenario. It is randomly decided which two players play against each other. Any odd player left out after dividing is lucky and did not encounter opponents.
After this first part, players can visit the different available territories of the wastes in the hopes of finding loot. Each round all players can divide their gangs into two groups and send each out to a territory to loot it. Players secretly write on a piece of paper which part of their gang will be scouting. Thereafter all players show where they go. Should two or more players be going to the same territory, a “grab the loot” scenarios will need to be played with loot counters on the table. Should a player have send a part of his gang to a territory without opponents, he get the loot without a fight.
There is a maximum amount of time that a location can be looted before it is empty
Players also opt to invade the location of an opponent, leave part of their gang behind for defense of their base, or ambush an opponent’s gang. Should they want to do this, then they need to write this down on a paper instead of the location that they want to scout. Players can agree to work together to attack another player, however if they can’t agree on how they divide any loot should the defending player of a raid or ambush bottle, then the game continues until only one player is let, who can claim the entire bounty.
After x rounds (amount depends on amount of participants) each gang decides that the area is practically empty and all the gangs travel homewards. During the way back, gangs can opt to try to go for an all out assault on each other the gain (or loose) more loot. The scenario “The long road back” simulates this. All the loot that players have should be divided over their vehicles with no more than 50% on one vehicle (25% if it’s a bike).
The winner of the entire campaign is the player that has the most loot in his possession after the last scenario.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a number of parts of the wastes that can be looted, which are:
Location Loot Times it can be looted*
Desert 1D6 20
Mine 2D4 8
Junkyard 2D4 8
Power station 2D4 2
Garage 2D4 2
Town 2D6 3
The Mall 2D6 3
Opponents territory 2D6
(* amount depends on amount of participants)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenarios:
“Recon”
The recon scenario is a rolling road scenario in which the player that manages to either get the most of his gang in rating of the other side of the table. In the case one player bottles, all models of the player that did not bottle that are still on the table and also count as if they made it.
The winners (including the player that didn’t have to play this round) have an advantage in the first “grab the loot” scenario”.
“Grab the loot”
Players that have the same scenario normally arrive on different table edges. Randomly determine the table edge from which each player comes. No two players should come from the same direction.
The amount of loot counters to be placed on the board is written behind the location.
“Ambush”
To be written
“Raid”

“The long road back”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I Already started to work on some scenery for the town. The buildings are mostly plasticville. The barricades for the windos will be magnetized and can be placed if I want to, so the builings can be used in multiple kind of games. For the roads I plan on using left over vinyl that I have few square meters of.
Anyhow, some first pictures:

Should have mentioned that these pictures were shot with my mobile phone in the evening. I'll have to make sure there is soem juice in the camera battery next time :p
-
sorry, i got distracted from all the Boardgames in the Background,just tell me these aren't all yours :o ;D
What was the Question again? lol
Seriously looks like a promising start for a good Campaign.Be nice to see all the different Gangs coming together :)
-
sorry, i got distracted from all the Boardgames in the Background,just tell me these aren't all yours :o ;D
::) They are... to make matters worse, you only see a small portion on the pictures :D
I'm not sure about the gangs, I know that Pil wants to come with muties, FM (another friend of ours) probably will bring scavengers, I'll have an enclave (former police) force and Raz... euhm, actuallt I have no clue what he might bring.

Sounds like a great way to spend a weekend of gaming! Do you expect to have some outdoor tables for enjoying the summer weather? :D
I don't know if you are looking for specific critiques, but if you care to indulge a bit of my own amateur game design, I have a few suggestions.
Should a player have send a part of his gang to a territory without opponents, he get the loot without a fight.
This is the main problem I run into whenever we try any kind of map-based campaign. On one hand, this seems to be the "realistic" method of handling such a recon situation, and so it supports the premise/theme of the campaign, but not really the purpose - which I assume it to play games with each other!
Aaron and Bill check the town, so they fight. Charles checks the mine, David checks the open desert; what do they do, sit around for a turn?
I would suggest making sure everyone gets a game. Maybe they get a little bonus for trying a place no one else chose (you find a little scrap and move on), or they get to try 2-3 times before someone else inevitably finds them. Or better, just assume that if they don't find another gang in the same place, they will run into each other on the way home, and fight there.
The winner of the entire campaign is the player that has the most loot in his possession after the last scenario.
Another major problem I have with campaigns is the Runaway Leader phenomenon: e.g. Charles did so well in his first 3 games that no one can possibly catch up to him - maybe he got 3 locations of loot for free without a fight? Imagine if a player won the campaign without ever playing a game!
So, your kind of "last chance" scenario has the potential to be very good. That way, nothing is guaranteed until the very end, and that will be good for keeping everyone invested in the game, even if they do poorly early on and start to fall behind.
There is a maximum amount of time that a location can be looted before it is empty
I suggest making this random, even as simple as exhausting if you roll a 1 on a D6. I mean, if a spot can be looted "two times", why wouldn't the first gang just take it all? More likely, they always take everything they can find, but the next gang can hope they missed some of the good stuff.
The barricades for the windos will be magnetized and can be placed if I want to, so the builings can be used in multiple kind of games.
Not game related, but I think this is a cool idea, and I'd be interested to see how you do it. More pics?

Thanks for the sound advice! I completly agree that there is a good chance players would not meet each other and having them then meet on the way is a nice option. I'll incorporate that in the campaign
A "last chance" scenario is defenitly needed to keep things tense till the end. next to this playesr can opt to raid an opponents territy intead of seaching somewhere else for loot. Hopefully these measures will be enough to stop a runaway leader.
Random exhaustion of the locations is a good idea as well. I might give different location different chances of being exhausted, or make the chance bigger every time a location is visited.
I'll take some pictures of where I put the magnets and how this works. I felt a bit stupid though not having thought of something like this earlier, since I could never choose between painting the building barricaded or not and so never really started on them.

What you could do is assign each location a secret score, of the number of times it can be looted. There's no reason a place can't be looted more than once - if time (the turn time, whether it's an hour, a day, or a week they spend there) and manpower (the number of people searching) are limited, there's no reason to assume one gang can clear a location of everything useful in one go. It's perfectly feasable to think of the loot in terms of 'loads' - one gang in one turn can take one load of loot; if they come back, or if another gang arrives, in another turn, they can also take one load, until there are no more loads left to take.
Alternatively, you could give the loot difficulty levels. To find the loot, the player must throw a die and score less than the 'loot level'. Say the territory is level 5 - it's pretty easy to find things there. A level 3 territory is a bit tricky to find things in, and a level 1 territory is very hard.
You could even combine those two ideas and have the 'loot level' decrease by one every time it's successfully looted. So Gang A loots a level 5 territory - they throw a 2 so easily find the load they can take away. When Gang B arrives next turn, the easiest to find stuff is gone so the territory is now level 4; but they try to loot the territory and throw a 6 - failure! Perhaps they were distracted by catching Radiation Flu, or the stuff is well hidden; anyway, they stick around and try again next turn. This time they throw a 3 and find a load of loot; etc.
You could also have a bonus or penalty (as you like) if the player throws exactly the number - if it's a level 4 territory and the player throws a 4, maybe that means double treasure, or a special treasure that allows them an advantage in the next game (a bit of kit, a new power source or some ammo for a funky weapon perhaps, or maybe access to some kind of 'mercenary') - or maybe they find treasure but it's booby-trapped an some of their fighters are out of action next game.
Anyway, just some ideas there for you to play with should you wish. Good luck with the campaign, please keep us informed as to how it's progressing, as some of us love campaigns!

Based on the good advice from your formed post I thought about a new way of working with the different locations.
The different terrain sections get a rating showing the chance gangs have of finding loot. The chance will get progrsessivly worse every time a location is raided. If one or more gangs arrives at a location, roll 2D6 to see if loot is being found. the amount that can be found is the loot value. This is also the amount of loot that should be placed on the table a fight takes place at a location.
e.g.
Terain type -=- loot value -=- chance of finding loot
Desert -=- 1D6 (9+)
Mine -=- 2D4 (5+)
Junkyard -=- 2D4 (5+)
Power station -=- 2D4 (5+)
Garage -=- 2D4 (5+)
Town -=- 2D6 -=- (3+)
The Mall -=- 2D6 (3+)
Opponents territory -=- 2D6 -=- No chance roll.
Each time a location is looted the chance of finding loot goes up with two points, to a maximum of 9+. Because more experiences gang members or larger gangs have a better chance of finding loot, players can add 1 point to their roll for every 500 points in excess of gang rating that is searching the location. This bonus is not used if multiple gang meet at the same location, since they be too busy with fighting to effectivly put more effort into searching.
Keeping the max at 9+ means there will be roughly 28% chance of finding loot in any location, but hopefully also make players focus somewhat on the same locations, giving plenty of fights :)

Hi all, it's been a few busy weeks, so not much work has been reported on this project. I busy with the LPL and had three warhammer tournaments these month, which sort of left less time for this project. Still, I'm busy thinking about what kind of gang I'll be using, which will probably be (again) an enclave police force.
I did mange to not only take picture of the magnetized barricades, but also write a short piece about it on my blog:
http://braxandur.wordpress.com/2013/05/24/zombie-games-and-scenery-building/ (http://braxandur.wordpress.com/2013/05/24/zombie-games-and-scenery-building/)
In about two weeks I'm going on holiday, which means enough time for thinking about the campaign and writing up ideas :)
-
A suggestion for both the "looting out" problem and the problem of keeping every player engaged:
It takes time and effort to "work" a zone for its loot - pickin's and salvage need to be dug up and cleaned off, farmers need to be intimidated into forking over their hidden supplies, etc. So each turn (representing a couple of days, maybe) each player can send out a couple of scouting groups to look over the zones he chooses. Based on their reports (Zone A has Salvage, there are Farmers in Zone C, etc) he can set up "operations" that will have a chance to yield Loads of loot each turn. Or he can raid his opponents' operations...
Of course, those loads of loot have to get taken back to each team's base, which allows for armed convoy encounters - it's so much easier to just steal the stuff instead of going to the time and effort of working it yourself!
-
Excellent looking terrain set up,should play well,how many minis you expect on the table at once?
Can't believe how tidy those shelves are in the background! :)
-
Hi all, now the LPL is over I feel I'm finally able to funnel energy back into this project :)
@SBRPearce: Thanks for the nice suggestions, I like the idea of scouting and starting up an operations, but we also don't mind if some players have less to do in a turn except getting refreshments for the rest of us ;) There is already a possibility of looting anothers camp, but attacking convoys also sounds great.
@Paleskin: We expect to have about 2-3 vehicles and up to 10 men (including drivers and gunners of the vehicles) on the table per side. This was the amount we had during our last high octane campaign. We sometimes had three players on the table at the same time and didn't have a lot of scenery on the tables. This time there will be a bit more scenery.
Since painting moved a bit to the backburner (possible got a bit of an overdose with the LPL) I decided to do something else and continued with building scenery. During my holiday I found pretty cheap 5mm styrofoam sheets and brought these back home.
On the following picture you can see the world works warehouse, which I already build ages ago and a recently build building from the downtown set:
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a340/braxandur/terain/Downtown/Warehouse_zps1f0bb069.jpg)
The next building is already mounted on the sheet. I figure I can get about 2-3 building per sheet and got 12 for 12 euro :)
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a340/braxandur/terain/Downtown/Sheets_zpsd78d6863.jpg~original)
I'm not yet sure if I'll print out sidewalks or make a few more of styrofoam itself. It just depends on time. Hopefully I manage to shoot a few more pictures tonight.
-
I managed to cut the sheets out and put the building together for the most part using "krammetjes" (sorry, I don't know the English for this). While it doesn't give the best fit for the walls, at least I can take the buildings apart if needed.
A few more buildings and then it's time for putting some debris on the streets :)

I finished the building on the last set of pictures and went a bit more up towards the sky with the next building. One more tall building to go, but first I'm going to work on some smaller ones for filling the empty space on the table.

Paintingwise not a lot has happened on the front of my gang, except for going through my collection and finding the models I'm planning to use. I'll probably will just use my police/swat miniatures. I see these as a force that managed to sustain itself when the governement fell and guns, equiment and a good holdout became important. This off course also means that I really should start some work on the World Works Police department...
Anyhow I have put together a few more of the hollow structures that can/will nicely fill up table space.
the nexxt few pictures should give an indication of possible setups. With another 3-5 buildings I think it's time to switch to the props (garbage cans, road signs, sidewalks, vehicles, etc.) Luckily I already have painted quite a few of these for some former board layouts. a few parks or large open areas might also fit in nicely.

As can be seen, I still need to finish the roofs and lock the walls in place, but in all I'm getting a nice indication of the size of the setup and how much more I need to build.
I'd also really like to use this setup in some of my zombie games and am wondering if it's otherwise possible to play deadzone on this table (I can mark the 3" zones with tape on the tabletop)
-
Once those buildings are put together properly that will look absolutely brilliant

Thanks for the remark! I'm just posting work in progress shots to keep myself motivated as well as to show how everything was made.
Just been gone for a few days to sunny Germany for a Seminar and fled back home when the weather turned :lol:
Managed to glue a few more building sides on the foam. Only three buildings to go before I'll need to print out more. Though for filling up a 4x4 table I'm as pretty close. I might build some replacements for the warehouse sometime, but for now it's a nice filler for the downtown area.
Here are the latest pictures:

After the weekend I can hopefully start work on the public squares and mayhap some sidewalks.
-
looking good.
-
Filling out nicely, keep it coming!

Another small update. I've been busy locking the buildings together and when that was done and they were placed back on the table I put down some of my older sidewalks to see how they look.

(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a340/braxandur/terain/Downtown/Downtown18_zps667b873f.jpg~original)
While I think that they look pretty nice, however they are not the right size... So either I cut them down to the correct size or I make a completly new set. Probably I'll just cut them down, make some more and give the entire lot another drybrush to make them a bit lighter as I think feel they are a bit on the dark side.

For our Gorka Morka based post apoc game we planned to play a number of scenarios in which players could visit different location in an attempt to score as much loot as possible.
Sadly due to circumstances only two people managed to show up for the campaign instead of four, so we decided to switch to a more storylined campaign.
To start of each of the players could make a gang with a value of 1000 bottle caps (using restricted Gorka Morka vehicle and Necromunda gang list with a different selection of available weapons).
The first scenario was a dash toward the "looting grounds", an abandoned city in wich the radiation levels had dropped far enough that some scavenging can be done if gangs would not stay too long. Each gang was trying to find as much loot as possible, since loot that is found on brought back, can make a gang very wealthy, especially if any chocolate was found...
The gang participating were two Road Marshall gangs and one set of skirmishers. A short overview follows:
Kaleb his Road Marshalls brought a trukk and a trakk, respectivly armed with a heavy machine gun and a flamer. Next to this he brought eight men into the campaign.
My Road Mashalls entered the campaign with a trukk (Police van) armed with a heavy machine gun and two bikers with uzi's. My gang also consisted of eight men.
FreekFM his scavanger brought two trukks, one armed with a spear gun and euhm... something more that I forgot :)
First scenario
The first scenario was a mad dash towards the city (rolling road). All three gangs participate in this scenario and the first to get over half of his gang at the far side of the table would get D6 loot counters as they arrived first and could already search for soe loot before the rest arrived.
We rolled to see who had to start in the centre, which was FreekFM his gang, after which Kaleb and me dopleyed on the sides. After having played a turn, FreekFM deployed his models and we rolled to see when he would start.

Scavangers ride straight through the middle at a very high speed. In the distance Kalebs trukk can be seen.

My Road Marshalls also went at a high speed, via the flank.

By making some turns, I had FreekFMs trukk in my visor and managed to slow it down severly after some nice shots with my heavy machine gun
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a340/braxandur/High%20Octane/Summer%20campaign%202013/P1200316_zps2121518b.jpg~original)
The Trukk with the spear gun was trying to avenge the damage wrough upon him, but the biker got away and my entire gang sped of the table faster than the other gangs, ending with a victory for me and claiming two pieces of loot.
2nd scenario
The second scenario was in a suburban area. the outskirts of the big town, where Kaleb and my gangs fought it out in the hope of claiming some of the six pieces of loot that culd be found.
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a340/braxandur/High%20Octane/Summer%20campaign%202013/P1200317_zps16d4dc09.jpg~original)
Kalebs forces deploy on one side of the suburbs.

It's so quiet in the suburbs that one can envision tuble weed blowing to the streets

On the other side suburb my gangs deployed out of sight.
Both gang had some gang members scrambling around the buildings to find loot, while both vehicles went over the main road heavily shooting at each other without doing any damage at all except for jamming Kalebs heavy machine gun for a turn. Putting the pedal to the medal, my van went high speed for Kaleb's trukk in the hope of doing quite some damage. The resulting carnage after some swerves was clear...
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a340/braxandur/High%20Octane/Summer%20campaign%202013/P1210320_zps84c58326.jpg~original)
Heavily damaged, my van lay smoking on the ground.

Kaleb has his flamer and heavy machine gun (which is not jammed anymore) aimed on my last few survivors. I try for one more turn to rescue my road marshalls, but only get more caualties and bottle out the next turn, even dropping all the loot I have managed to secure, so Kaleb his road marshals gained six pieces of loot.

Downtown
In the third and fourth scenario the gang were fighting an collecting loot in the downtown area of the city.
third:
Kaleb his road marshals met FreekFM his scavengers.

The flamer armed track of the road marshalls has a clear view and waits for a nice opportunity, while gangers start searching for loot on foot.

The shadowplay by the road marshals does not scare the scavenger and he shoots straight at the barrel of the heavy machine gun, disabling it and killing the very experienced (and scary) gunner.

More gangers come to the rescue and the road marshals are scared of, leaving 4 pieces of loot for the scavengers.
In the fourth scenario I was a participant and it was warm and getting late, which led to me completly forgetting taking pictures :p
FreekFM his scavengers lost the fight against my marshals, with him ending up with two pieces of loot an me with four.
The road home
In the last scenario the gang were trying to get back home. Each of them had to bring it's loot to the far side of a rolling road table. The loot had to be stashed on vehicles could as such again be lost. The gang had six, six and eight loot counters, so in this battle one could lose or win everything.
The same rules for deployment were used as in the first scenario however, this time the only goal for the gangs was to bring as much loot home as possible.

From far of it can be seen that Kaleb his marshals deploy in the centre, with FreekFM on one flank.

My Roadmarshals start on the other side, with all my loot on one bike, which makes a run for it.

The other two gangs don't want to drive to fast because they can than easily become targets.

Once the "rolling road" starts FreekFM decides to make run for it, while Kaleb his trak armed with the flamer goes in hot pursuit

On the other side my truck and bike try to damage the truck of Kaleb in the hope of obtaining some of his loot, but the truck is barely damaged.

In the background the city can still be seen.

The scavenger truck with spear gun get hit pretty hard by the heavy machine gun and spins out of control, while the truck is set ablaze by the flamer (it's still not sure if this is due to any non sanction smoking behavour by the trucks driver.

The truck sees an opening and goes for it.

Thetruck however is being tailed by a bike with a twin linked uzi and a passener armed with grenades. The bike fails a thrust and collides with the truck. as a result the grenades is not thrown properly, but drops next to the bike, luckily without doing any damage.

The immobile truck aims it's spear gun at the track.

In the meanwhile all loot has been transfer onto the truck of the scavengers and makign a run for it.

The spear gun does some nice damage on the track, while another road mashal van is taking aim with it's heavy machine gun.

The Marshal biker fails to damage the truck at all and it drives of towards home, unstopable by all who tried.

In the end all the truck manage to drive from the table at the far end without any change in ownership in the loot, leaving Kaleb the winner with eight pieces of loot and FreekFm an me a joint second (or last) place with six pieces of loot.
We had a lot of fun and I hope to play many more of such mini cmapaigns in the coming years :)
