Hey Everyone, I'm working on a redesign of one of my favourite tanks, the Von Luckner. I've just finished the original version, the VNL-k65N of the Star League era. The Missile Pods will come as open and closed versions, so you can choose how you want to depict it, as well as allowing you to make a Squadron look a little different. As with most of my designs, the turret has magnet holes for 5mm x1mm magnets and will come with a Hex base. I'll be releasing this on my Tribe on Oct 1st. The plan is to do up all 10 Varients the Von Luckner has. https://www.myminifactory.com/users/Kiwicolourstudio

So would love you to take a look at what I'm working on at my Tribes https://www.myminifactory.com/users/Kiwicolourstudio.

Hey Everyone, I hope you are all well.

Here is the Latest Version of A.P.EX Drop, and the last version before I hopefully start making it pretty and ready for print. It's come a long way in a month and a bit, and I'm really happy where it is currently at and appreciate the help the people playingtest the game have given me so far. The game is now sitting at around 98 pages as a document! This is kinda crazy to me as I've never considered myself a writer by any means, but I've managed to include a quick 2-page story that kinda sets the scene of the game a little and 17 pages of lore that sets up the world that you will play in 2095. It has a few hooks for a future expansion as well, should the game get off the ground.

I've just spent the whole afternoon proofreading everything, spell checking, giving it a Contents page, a Glossary and a pretty functional index. etc. - I'm sure I've missed something - my FND makes it almost a certainty lol. Overall, though, I'm extremely happy with where the game is at. I still have more missions to add, but there are 7 you can get stuck into right now (Including the introductory one). As I come up with them, I'll post them here so you can review and try them before they're added to the rules.

I'd love you to take a look at the document, read the story, the background, and the rules, and give me any feedback you have on any of it. I've been looking at it for so long that it needs fresh eyes to go over it.

Please let me know if you have any issues with the link.

Hey Everyone, I've created a new page for my Game A.P.EX Drop. I'd love you to come check it out. its barebones at the moment, but it will start to look better and get content soon as the game development progresses. If you have taken a look at the basic concept of the game so far and think there is something there, and would like to join my playtest group, please join the page and message me, and I'll add you to the list :)

A.P.EX Drop is my attempt to bring the fast-paced, constant action of an FPS to the tabletop in a easy to play manner. Humans, A.I Drones and autonomous piloted exosuits. The rules are in the playtest phase, check them out.

Hey Everyone, they are a little rough, but the core of the rules is here. I still need to figure out game length and a few other things, but I'd like you all to take a look and see what you think. I've adjusted the names and logos of two of the factions and am working on the third one now.

Keen to know what you all think so far :)

Hey Everyone. ok the game has a name, and I have some concepts, and I have smashed them together like the creative money I am, and I have produced what I think is a semi-professional, somewhat plausible, near-future background that forms the basis of the game.

Now, whilst I have lots of ideas and some design skill i am by no means a writer! These ideas I have rewritten no less than 4 times over the last 2 days, and this may well expand or reduce over time, but I really want some feedback from you all on what you think. I want to know if you find it compelling or if you think it's a pile of crap, lol. I want to know if it moves you to want to learn more about the setting and the game, or if it's boring. I've tried not to make it too long, but there is a bit, and I believe it's necessary.

Please give me some feedback, good or bad, it will all be appreciated. I do ask one thing, however, please give reasons for why you like or dislike it - a comment of this is great, or this sucks doesn't really help me :).

The link for the file is here : https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4qb5gsu7ueozvpd97l6kh/A.P.E.X-DROP-Background.pdf?rlkey=dtzk5bncstlxhroy10qvonv1p&st=0gqa73vu&dl=0

I'll wait a few days for any feedback, and during that time, I will work on the 3 factions I intend to develop initially.

For any of you who choose to read this and provide feedback i thank you now in advance. For those who aren't interested at all, that is ok. Let me know (nicely :) - and if most of you aren't interested, then I'll definitely move this all to another page.

So it's been a while since I've posted. Life has been a bit hard over the last 4 odd months. My disorder has been kicking the s**t out of me on and off, and I've had to stop designing for the moment and give my body a break. My Patreon and Tribes are on hold for the next month or two whilst I decide what I want to do. In the mean time ive been kicking around ideas for a new game system that I'd like to design and eventually design the miniatures for.

Bullying the s**t out of AI has let me create some basic visual logos for the 3 factions and the working title for the game. eventually, if the project gets off the ground id like to get a human designer to create all the imagry but for now ai will let me have some visual references to help me organise my thoughts in the right direction.

For those interested in the names, The Bastion Accord is made up of the remaining future Nato Nations after America left them, the Omnitech Spire is a Chinese-controlled Asia- Pacific, and the Ironclad Union is a future reunified Soviet Union.

if any of this interests you, please let me know and I'll give a bit more info about my concept for the game..
