Gaslands: A Game of Post-Apocalyptic Vehicular Mayhem, to be published by Osprey

[crikeymiles]

Hello!

I'm tremendously excited to let people that Osprey have this week picked up my post-apocalyptic car combat game, Gaslands, to be released in late 2017 as part of their Osprey Wargames Series!  Read more here.



In Gaslands, you build a post-apocalyptic racing team, made of bikes, cars, trucks, big rigs, buggies and busses.   You equip your vehicles with an array of weapons and then fight for money, gas and reputation across a campaign progress system consisting of alternating races (for money and reputation) and wasteland scraps (for resources and the gas you need for the next race).

Gaslands is unashamedly inspired by Gorkamorka, Bloodbowl, Cars Wars, Battlecars, Thunder Road and is designed for kitbashed matchbox and Hot Wheels cars.



I'm looking for playtesters to make Gasland the most fun that it can be.  If you are interested in getting involved and helping to shape the game, head on over to Gaslands.com, or let me know in this thread!

Thanks!
Mike

Wooo! That's some serious news! Congrats, really!

I'd help w a playtest. Unless it is wayyyy out there, I probably have everything I need vehicle-wise.

[crikeymiles]

Awesome!  It should match the models that you have already.  The only difference is that you're a racing team, so if you wanna look like a boss, you gotta have team colours, or a sweet logo, and numbers on your trucks!



If you're serious about playtesting, create an account on the Gaslands site and I'll give you access to the super secret playtester's page! http://gaslands.com/playtesting-sign-up-thread/

I'm in. I just registered at your site and was told to check my email but nothing has come through yet. I am a huge fan of car wars Dark future etc. so will enjoy helping playtest gaslands

Sounds interesting, how many vehicles roughly are needed per team?

3 to 5 roughly, but the campaign system is basically just in my head at the moment, so playtesters are going to have the opportunity to help guide the answers to these kinds of questions!

PM sent!

Well, I'll need to make a few more vehicles before I'll have enough for playing but would definitely be interested in play testing.

Awesome!  For now, there's nothing stopping you getting started with just one vehicle each if you'd like.  I'd love to know if anything breaks or isn't fun with smaller games, (ditto with mega games), to help me make it the best it can be.  Gotta test 'em all!

Would be interesting in playtesting this - can create the 'gaslands' on my desert boards (minus palmtrees  )
