I've got a thread for all the Nickel City Stories going in this forum. I'll be using different Zombies for Fallout. This is for my own Zombie game. :)

Heh. I like the body bag one too. What colours did you use on the gowns?

Citatdel Sybarite Green and Fenris Grey are the two gown colours. Blended up a bit after washed dark.

Is this for the game you mentioned you've been working on with your buddy? Really excited to see it. I haven't found a rules set that really works for me, yet.

Bear Shark! It's Mini Slot!

Oh Mini-Slot. To hear your dulcet tones again.

Yeah man, I've finally been badgered into it. :) I think people will enjoy it, we'll see!

Finally sat down and watched the first video.

The rules actually look really good and can be used for solo play. The fact you only need a few handfuls of zombies to get a tense game makes it easy to get in to.

I've just finished season 5 of 'The Walking Dead' and I been collecting bits for a Harris County (i.e. Houston area) themed table. The detail on your table is inspiring too I might add.

Thanks man! It's one of those 'worked on a bit at a time over the years' kind of projects that you look at and go 'whoa' when you lay it all out because you don't realize how much work you did. lol

Almost through the first video and it's a blast! You should do a Kickstarter and I will surely back it. It's really awesome!

BTW, can you tell me a bit more about the Patreon thing? Do you pay $1 per video released? How does it tally all up? I would love to support what you're doing (I've been watching a lot of your videos), but Patreon isn't really clear on how it all works IMO.

Yeah, that's my one gripe about it. If you watch the video on my Patreon page I explain it. Basically, if you pledge on Patreon you pick how much you'd like to support per video (say $1) and then you set a cap (this is important) of how much you'd like to support maximum per month (Say $5). No matter how many videos I post you'd only ever pledge $5.

I post games Monday to Friday all month (usually 20 videos are supported each month). It was important to me though that I wasn't supported monthly, as then I'd be getting money whether I did anything or not. I only wanted support if I made anything (to protect the patrons) so this was the best system I could come up with. :)

As for the game, I'm in talks right now that are going really well. Should have more to discuss next week!

Well, for those that haven't heard, I will be working with Osprey Games to bring Last Days to market. :) I'll be working with my Patreon folks with a Demo set of the rules around the Holidays and will spend the next year refining it for publication. :) If you want to get involved I'll have details up in the next month or two!

No, no no. It's going straight to publication via Osprey... so no waiting. Once it's available it will be available. I'll be doing a Quickstart set and bi-monthly missions starting next year for everyone on Patreon so they can get an advance chance to play the game. :)

Patreaon.com
You can sign up to sponsor a person at Patreaon.
Pledge say a dollar for each time said person releases a video for instances.
He puts out 5 videos next m9nth y9ur account is charged $5.
That is a simplified explanation.

Very excited about this.  SO, to get a sneak peak we need to support you on Patreon.  Seems legit.
 
As one stay at home dad to another, how many bat reps are you putting out a week?

It all comes down to family budgets, my friend! :D

I read the rules, they're brilliant! Very elegant! I love the long term potential of a campaign and that those rules are built in, if not released as of yet.  The time between now and publication will give an opportunity to get stuck into the rules! :D
Title: Re: Last Days - Ash's Zombie Thread
Post by: Achilles on January 31, 2017, 02:00:17 PM
Glad you like it man. :) The core rules you're reading will stay the same in the full rulebook from Osprey while there will be three additional warbands and a pretty unique Campaign section that details a lot of the goings-on between games.

The hope is that the demo rules let folks come to grips with the core mechanics and build some appropriate terrain and model collections for when the book comes out so they can just jump right into playing! :D

I remember all those cool terrain pieces you had (I want to make cool power poles too) on your old site and am looking forward to seeing your project come to fruition.  Congratulations :) !  Stan has a copy I and I'm almost certain I remember seeing a draft you shared ages ago (I was sure my body would go first but the the mind is the first casualty).

I have a growing collection of walkers eager to become zombies (painting TWD atm) so they can assist in trying out Last Days.  We are playing Frostgrave and exchanging cool games we bumped into since we last caught up on Saturday.  Our "vanilla" friends aren't going to play round one with us :(  but I'll bring my camera and hopefully we can sucker them in with some flashy pics :) .  If the pics don't work I'll trash talk them about how afraid they are to play and lose to me because I am the very model of a min/max gaming strategist and the dice love me almost as much as my cat (Hopefully they lurk here.  This could work :) ).
