Midnight's Zombie Miniatures Game.....First Battle Report!
Hi all, Like a lot of people out there I have dabbled over the years with producing my own miniatures rules. There's been bits I've liked from some sets and bits I've thought were pointless. Over the last few weeks I've been really knuckling down to do my own rules ( not just a conversion of another set). I've got the actual mechanics pretty much sorted and I am working on some balancing issues ( points system). The idea is to make a modern skirmish system with it's heart in horror but it can be used in any modern / urban situation. Basically each player will build a small gang with one "Major Player" and several "Extras". They can be pitted against each other or can work together against a common threat ( Zombies etc) or BOTH! I don't want a gamesmaster as such and so I am working on rules to make the common threat element automated without a silly number of tables. The main thing is that it is going to be plot driven rather than the "last one standing." I'm working out some rules for "Innocents" and how various factions could benefit from saving them/ using them . Example: A real bad dude player could use an innocent as a "Shield" but would receive no further help from them. A "Good" player may find that their character awakens after being KO'd to find the innocent they've just saved standing over them , fending off an undead hoard! I'm looking at doing a "lite" version to see if anyone's interested. Regards PM
