It sounds like BLAM will feature the largest game of Blood on the Sands played yet - hang on shouldn't I be there?!?!?!

It's only next week, still plenty of time for you to book a flight, I'll even pick you up from Heathrow airport, BLAM is only a Twenty minute car journey from there.

Furt,

I'll see if I can swing a game or two either with my Brother (who just had a darling little girl, so time has been scarce) or perhaps with my brother in law when I go up to PA. Simply put, I don't have any gamers down here, so after my rash of visits from buddies and conventions - I've been sitting looking at my gladiators, not doing a damn thing.

(oddly, I'm also at a similar stage as you with my game...writing/re-writing...constantly!)

Congrats uncle Elbows.

It is hard to play anything without a group of gamers!! Maybe I should look at the solo rules again...

I feel your pain with the rule writing/re-writing. I refuse to "release" anything that I haven't put 110% into getting right and that's a slow process unfortunately

If only mate, if only.

Solo rules would be much appreciated. Neither the arena I've built nor the gladiators I've distributed for free(!) have inspired anyone to challenge my lanista. Damned backwater!

Of course, real life's getting in the way big time as well. Hence my apologies, Furt, for not reporting back to you lately.

No probs Mad Doc - I've been so consumed myself I haven't been chasing my playtesters either!!

I do intent on developing a solo play mechanic, which shouldn't be too difficult, but I have to add it to the long list of to do's!!

And seriously if you can't convince anyone to play the game on YOUR arena - what hope do I have!?!?!

Two of your (formerly) AWOL playtesters, Nice John and i, have pencilled in another bash for Thurs next week

All we need to do now is remove the digits and get an arena started and finished by next Thursday .............. in the midst of doing the nine 2' x 4' terrain boards for the FIW game.

Need more hours and less inertia!

Furt,
Are the rules actually available to buy yet?

Nick

Elbows · « **Reply #339 on:** October 30, 2013, 03:20:13 AM »

Negative Nick, going through some final proof-reading and testing. A while yet from what I understand.

I will say though - well worth the wait.

As Elbows has kindly said Nick - not yet - but I am making progress.

At the moment I eat, sleep and breath Blood on the Sands - so I'm keen to finish it too. I have started on the final draft of the rule book proper.

I've had little chance to play much either as I'm always writing and tweaking, so no piccies to show of here.

I'm looking forward to some feedback (and pics) from BLAM although, where Malamutius Calvus is using BotS to run an elimination tournament and H.M.Stanley has promised to have a go in a day or so too.

That will also give him a ready made excuse for being trounced in the arena!
