So I have this game...

And I have a lot of ideas for background etc but I am hopeless at actually organizing it and getting it written.

Are there any aspiring writers (or people just more organized) that would like to help develop the background for a Weird WWII skirmish game?

I'd be very interested...I have been writing 'fluff' for Alpha Forge games, and also a bit for Wyrd Miniatures.

Drop me a PM!

Sure, PM me! I´m a bit busy at the moment, but shorter pieces should be no problem!

Same as Chris- busy but willing.

I'd like to help too, if your schedule is not too tight... The RealWorld (tm) is very overloading these days.

My schedule is just as afflicted by Real World issues as well so the deadline isn't very tight at all :-)

I'm going to try to work on a design document this weekend and then either post it or email it to anyone who is interested.

Are you wanting us to make stuff up or work off your designs?

I don't have any actual designs since the game is intended to allow people to use miniatures from most manufacturers to play.

I have some troop types I am intending on using for the US and German army lists

German troops

US Troops

but the idea is to stick to troops and units that can be built using existing ranges from different manufacturers.

I'll help if you would like. Ive done some writing on and off over the years, and the idea of a generic rule-set that will allow me to use whatever minis i own, buy, convert is one i realy want to help develop. email me at

I hope to have a design document to share on Monday... or at least a rough draft of one.

I am also going to start work again or a rebuild of the core game system

Once that is done (ie our playtest games don't find any glaring holes) I'll start a website to discuss the rules and start opening up testing and development.

Currently the German and American forces are made up of minis from Artizan, Take on You, North Star, Brigade Games and Darkson Designs

Happy to allocate time to the writing effort if you still need volunteers.
