TFA2 Version 1.5 Play-Test Up -- Last One Before Layout

Hard-scrabble crew makes planetfall. 

Version 1.5 of the TFA2 play-test is now up. This will be the last one before we go to layout. 

Grab it here. 

This week's update image feature lead artist William Henry Caddell's amazing cover! William has also done over 30 new pieces of B&W art for the interior, but wow, that cover rocks!

If you haven't yet downloaded the rules and had a look, please do! This player facing solo / co-op skirmish game features rugged 3D6 mechanics, deep character design, a relatively small model count (except if you roll up a Zombie encounter), and a fun and engaging campaign system that will help you tell amazing tabletop stories with your minis. 

Here's the change log from 1.4 to 1.5: 

Changes from Version 1.4 - 1.5

* Reduced standard move from 6" to 5"

* Reduced max charge range to +3" (+6" for Fast characters)

* Reduced range of Transpose power from 12" to 6"

* Limited extra Gear to one selection. 

* Revised and clarified SP campaign goals. 

* Added the Skulker Trait for GC models. 

* Revised and expanded the foes list in Chapter 5 and directly tied it to the Opposition table in Chapter 4. 

* Made Acid Blood a GC Model only Trait (really should have been one all along)

* Added clarification for GC models' use of Traits. 

Thanks for reading!

Exploring the Essence of Grimme Perils

Following on the release of Grimme Perils: 2d6 Gritty Fantasy RPG, I thought it might be helpful to release a summary of the most important rules. When we release the offset print edition (fingers crossed on this), these key notes will comprise the end-papers of that fancy edition.  You can find the free 4-page PDF of the Rules Brief here .  It covers the basics of Stats, action checks, boons & banes, initiative, combat, darkness, magic, and more!  So what's the elevator pitch for Grimme Perils?  If you're searching for any of the following aspects in a fantasy RPG, GP  is worth a look:  2D6-based action resolution Medium-level rules crunch Human-centric character creation Dangerous combat with consequences Versatile magic system Slick rules for Darkness / Light Clever and easy rules for consumables A dash of dark Faerie Tale flavor GP didn't just appear, fully formed on the page. It's creation was inspired by some of my favorite games, including: Basic...

First Post, Test Post!

This is the first post of the Four Color Studios blog. Check our web site for a complete list of products and where you can acquire them is here .   My goal with this site is to create a one-stop shop for announcements around projects I am working on, or sessions of my games I am running. I am also intending to cover hobby projects related to my games, including painting, terrain building, and products (minis, terrain, paints, etc.) I have bought or intend to buy for the hobby.  I may occasionally also cover comic books on this site as well. We'll see!  I will start things off with the covers to my next game, Villain Mission Force , due out in late February or early March 2025!

An Offer Made in Thanks & Celebration

Image
 Right now times are tough and things remain uncertain. I find myself wanting to do something, even a small something, for the folks who've followed and stuck with me all these years.  One of my players' VMF PCs entertains MODOK.  What I want to do is give two people each a free copy of the spiral bound VMF rules. The catch is you have to be in the USA, and you have to not otherwise be able to afford it yourself at this time. I understand folks might not want to advertise this, so I will take the first two people who reach out to me via the FCS contact form . Make sure you include your mailing address! Get your gratis copy while they last!  Thanks for reading, and stay safe!  --Scott
