'Nam Project - cards for Point Blank

I have started my next campaign game for my Point Blank Vietnam setting, and I have been tinkering with the solo system in an effort to make it easier.

Rather than have each blip move non stop around the table I now have them moving from one side to the other, and if they are not spotted when they get to the table's edge, they leave the table.

 They are then recycled into the 'blip pool'.

 If they are spotted, an encounter card is drawn to see what, if anything, the blip represents.

 This is making the use and control of blips a lot easier, and gives me greater flexibility with the enemy forces than before.

I have some blank playing cards that I am using to write down what enemy forces a blip could represent, and I have thrown in some blank cards to add to the suspense.


As they look rather boring, I searched on the internet to see if I could have cards printed out to give them a professional look.

 I found a place in the US that will print cards out, and let you choose what is on the back of each card, and even allow the text on the front of each card to be different.

For $7.95 plus postage (which I think is a realistic postage) I can have some cards printed and sent to me.

This is what they look like, based on a screen shot of the preview they offer:

I will make sure my new system works properly before I place the order, but the good thing is that I have saved them and once I am convinced I have the system working I will go ahead and order them.

As I have saved the design, I can 'tart' them up a bit by adding colour and or extra text.

Aussies in Vietnam - youtbe video

I found a documentary on Australians in Vietnam last night on youtube. It have some great footage that will help with making scenery for anyone interested.

Dungeon Bash - Play By Blog

I am thinking of running a Dungeon Bash Play By Blog similar to my zombie PBB game currently running.

 If anyone is interested in playing you:

 a) need a copy of "Goalsystem Fantasy" that can be purchased as a PDF for $2.95 here  Unless you are in a small European country intent on destroying the world economy, most people should be able to find a bit of spare change for the small price of the rules.

b) need a photo of your character miniature that you intend to use for the game. You must either post this photo on your web site/ blog so I can save it to use for the game, or send me the photo in an email. How ever you do it, I need a copy of the image of your character.

c) create your character according to the rules mentioned in 'a)' above

d) post your desire to play the game in the comments for this particular post.


Notes - the GoalSystem Fantasy rules are a  bit limited, by comparison, to say AD&D. A full blown set of rules is being created at the moment by the author of GoalSystem Fantasy, but that doesn't help me right now. Thus if you want to play and find the rules a bit limited, I am open to negotiations should you want to play something that isn't covered by the rules.

Bonus points/ rewards will be given to players that can also provide me with photos of NPCs and monsters that I can use for the game.
