(KICKSTARTER) Outrider Auto Combat- The first car is done!!

[CptJake]

KS is doing well, hit the 13K stretch goal.

Jump on in and pledge, all the cool kids are doing it.

 

On a more serious note, Gregg announced in the comments section of the project that:

I've got rules on the drawing board for: Large vehicles (Busses, Tractor Trailers), X-Large Vehicles (Tanks, Trains) as well as Pedestrians & Cycles.

Sounds pretty good to me!

Well on our way to 14k now and rules for big rigs, buses, etc!   WOO HOO!  And if we go higher, rules for bikes and pedestrians!

[YPU]

Really looking forward to this!

Also, I'm not entire 100% on this but it would appear the DEFENSIVE EQUIPMENT DECK, PASSIVE AGGRESSION DECK, AUXILIARY WEAPON DECK and CONTACT WEAPON DECK are 4 separate 5 dollar add-ons NOT included with veteran or legendary pledges. These cards were previously part of the not so passive aggression deck and do add a lot of re-playability to the game.
I have played a few times by dealing random vehicles, a random tuner card and a random weapon from that deck and just going at it. Very much fun!

However Veteran + shipping puts me at the 95 dollar mark, adding the 4 3 additional ones would put me over yhe 100 dollar point...

EDIT: just realized the DEFENSIVE EQUIPMENT DECK does ship with veteran and legendary, but the rest does not.

14k passed!!!!!    That means truck and bus rules are now part of the package, and we're $850 away from bikes and ped rules!!  Time to dust off those Dark Future bikes!

By the sound of it also tanks and trains right? The notion of a post-poc train being chased by a group of cars and bikes like a moose by wolves, its just so right in my mind.  Christmas is right around the corner and we all know what that means... Cheap model trains!

Indeed it does!

"Current Stretch Goal: EXIT 14K — Large & Extra Large Vehicle EXPANSION

This EXPANSION goal adds new rules, new vehicle cards, a mini terrain tiles set and 4 scenarios all surrounding LARGE and XL vehicles. Busses, tractor-trailers, trains & tanks ... OH MY! This EXPANSION set is all brand new content that has never been available before.

and how about a FREEBIE?

I've been approached by many to make a quickstart rules set for KIDS, becuase kids LOVE Outrider. For the kiddos I also recommend the family of TURBO RALLY CARD GAMES from Alec Ramsey. The ability to play with diecast cars has been a huge draw for many. The streamlined ruleset also works perfect for demos, new players and quick pick-up games. So everyone will be receiving a one-sheet KICKSTART rules set. The core concepts will still be there, but some of the if/and/buts will be removed for SUPER quick play"

TBC I am reading our back and fort posts as something in between sports commentaries and telescoping presenters.

I really hope we get the bikes and pedestrians, I'm excited about them!

Apocalypse Miniatures, through their Ebay Store, has some cool bikes with riders that would be great for the game:

Dpnt waste your money or time, they're crooks and they're stuff is garbage.  I have a few of their bikes.  Not fit even for a conversion... I ended up cutting mine up and using the pieces as agitators in my paint, a far better use for the lead.

This is how they try to jack you,

That is too bad.  I had contacted them via email and it sounds like they are releasing a couple more dismounted gangs and other stuff, and said that if I let them know what I wanted they would send a paypal invoice with lower prices than the Ebay listings (plus combined postage) since they would not have to pay the ebay fees.   Their punks (the dismounted gang) look good, and bikes int he right scale are difficult to find (I have some of the Aberrant ones and do know about the Stan Johansen ones).

My favorite is Elhiem, you cant really go wrong.  He makes great stuff in 20mm, with a nice variety for 'Survivors', plus military, etc.  Sorry Mate, but i didnt want to see anyone else have a bad experience like I had....
