On the Bounce: Cicada-Inspired Miniatures Mayhem
« on: 16 June 2021, 03:39:08 AM »
The Scrum Club had its second in-person gathering last weekend, and we wanted to make sure we honored our insect conquerors this summer by creating a cicada-inspired, Starship Trooper-influenced game. We dubbed the rules "On the Bounce" after a chapter in the Heinlein novel, and our homebrew system was an excuse to play with a lot of cool mechanics we'd been "collecting" and looking for an opportunity to put into a game.

My blog, Scrum in Miniature, shares some photos from the game and some details on our fun playtest in which Mobile Infantry did their best to battle rampaging space bugs!

Thanks so much, guys. We may try to polish it up a bit more and run it for fun at Historicon.
