Happy Villain-tines Day!

My wife, Emma, is great, and I love her! We're doing the dinner thing tonight, and I got her some flowers, but I also wanted to make her something. 

Luckily, she has become one of my regular players in my monthly RPG games. Since we just finished a two year long fantasy campaign, I wanted to do a series of one and two session Villain Mission Force games. Now Emma is also an avid gardener. She's done wonders with our yard, and I thought a plant-themed villain would be great for her character for the VMF. 

Since my games will take place in a universe that blends elements of characters and locales from both DC and Marvel, Poison Ivy was the ideal base for her character. 

Luckily, I had a Heroclix Ivy waiting in the wings, and bonus, I also had a Horrorclix Man-Eating Plant figure that will make a perfect Henchman for her! 

I decided to also make a custom base / display stand for them. This was a blast, and I can't wait to maker her character using the new VMF rules! 



Ivy & Audrey are ready for action! 

The base is just two layers of medium chipboard. 

Now I wish you all a Happy Villain-tines Day! 

Thanks for reading!

The Return of SuperFigs?

Image
 Well, maybe. The last year or so I have been quietly working with a talented digital sculptor who approached me about redesigning the SuperFigs line as STL files. It's been 24 years since the release of the first SuperFigs, and I just can't believe it.  So he has been slowly beavering away at figures who strike his fancy. And I am content to let the process play out and see where it goes. There's no deadline. No release date. No pressure.  But Eric did send me some test prints last month, and I finally got around to painting them up. Last year I had also gotten a batch and painted them, and I might have shared them on my FB group, but I don't remember. Anyway, these two are very nice and I am happy to show them off here now.  We have Zoya and Tenpin, along with some rebased Heroclix for scale.  Painted with a combo of Speed Paint and Fanatic paints. I really love the detail Eric achieves, and the posing is lovely.  Zoya is meant to be about 7' tall, so yo...

Villain Mission Force Unleashed!

Villain Mission Force: Solo / Co-Op Anti-Heroic Skirmish RPG  is now available in PDF! Get it here ! Here's the key info:  From nobody to nemesis?  Villain Mission Force (VMF) allows players to run a small team of low-level supervillains through a gauntlet of challenges that will make or break their villainous reps. Utilizing easy 2D6 mechanics, VMF’s multiple play modes include solo, co-op, PvP, or RPG. VMF offers rules for character origins and backgrounds, a versatile power system for varied character design, and a campaign system that will carry them from third-stringers to major threats. VMF also provides dozens of write-ups for foes that you can run using flexible, archetype-based mechanics.

Yeah, I make a lot of super games...

     Artwork by Jan Annarella.  I make a lot of super games because I love the genre and I love tinkering with different mechanics and dice systems.  I figure that if you also like super games, one of my rule sets might be for you! That's why a couple of years ago I published the FCS Guide to Super Gaming . It's a list of all of the currently available supers games I make, along with brief write-ups and complexity ratings about them.  I've just updated it to include the imminently available VMF game, but I also wanted to share the text here because I think these sorts of "insider" tidbits might prove interesting to folks who like my games.  I'll also include the entry for SSG that comes right before it in the document for context and comparison:  Super Skirmish Gaming Core System: 3D6 (roll-over) Complexity: 6 of 10 Published in 2022, Super Skirmish Gaming (SSG) synthesizes years of superhero gaming experience into one slick book that offers easy ...
