You know what- Im ok with it.....I am a huge fan of cake and all of its recent work....Sometimes I carry a fork in my pocket Just incase I have an encounter with a slice of cake.

But....um.....why is there a slice of cake next to my age in my profile?

Is it because I am sweet?

Its under the "banana stickers" number....so.....does that have anything to do with it?

Did GLaDOS hack into my profile again.....because I told her that it was over. 

This is a continuance of this thread:

Any ideas/comments are welcome and appreciated.

*Disclaimer* I am just BSing for fun- Not that I wont try my variants, because I will, and I am not posting for no reason, because I want to hear opinions and get good ideas if people are willing to give them, but I am not trying to do anything serious, just trying to have some fun. Just thought I would say something since some people try really hard to make good variants..and I am just Sort of half assing it.

Ok! So some of us have used miniatures in place of the Mage Wars cards right? Well I was thinking of doing something a little different.

I really wanted to play MW with some minis on a map, and use fleshed out minis rules- I have tried, but it comes out rather clunky (Though I want to SOOO bad). So I was thinking about this:

Play on a minis map but with zones- something like this:

And not changing any of the rules for movement, zones, anything. But when a mini moves to a new zone, they can select what square to be placed on so it affects LoS differently. (Same with were you summon a monster- or it could have to be summoned as close to your mage as possible IDK.)

You would still use the "Corner of the zone" rule from mage wars for LoS, but if your mini is behind a wall- that counts as blocking LoS.

Its really just a way to make more use of coverage and tactical placement- and give me a reason to play with my minis and maps!

INB4- thats just dumb Darth...... I made a Disclaimer.

So....Any thoughts???

(I posted this on BGG, but thought I would post it here as well!)

Alright- I have seen a few variants for having a "set mana pool" and being able to spend it before the game starts to have whatever you want on the field-

What I am thinking is- taking that, and applying it to a variant that works like some Minis games that use warbands.

SO, you would have a set creatures (only creatures) that you start the game with that cost a certain amount of mana (Say 100) all in your starting zone (With your mage) and go from there.

And here is the kicker- Thats all the creatures you get to use for the entire game.

If you destroy your opponents creatures (Or conjurations)- you get that creatures mana cost in "Victory Points" the first one to get to a set number of victory points wins the game. (Say 3/4 of the warbands cost limit: so if you start the game with a 100 point (Mana cost) warband, 75 victory points is needed.

(You could even play with "Moral rules", if a creature is in a zone where a friendly creature gets destroyed, they have to make a check, or run out of the arena, being removed from play- but not scoring the opponent any "Victory Points")

I was thinking the mage would have a cost equal to its life- but not count for the warband building, just as the cost for the victory points.

So....whatcha guys think?

I think it would be fun on a bun! I loved the D&D/starwars minis game, and loved building warbands, so I think this would be fun.

The magnets and note board were $3 at Target. The mage status board is only being held up by the four magnets....Im holding it upright with no problems, holding it upside down there was no problem. If you wanted you could use double sided tape to hold the status board on there, but Im fine with how it is. Its not moving!

LOOK DOWN!

Is there anyone else out there who would love to see some cyber-punk, or post-apocalyptic, or steam-punk theme based expansions? I personally would love to see some steam-punk cards. Obviously this is not a new concept with fantasy based games, but my question is....How many of you out there would be happy to see that in this game? The game is so flexible it could support it, but how would that make you feel? Or do you think they could go the direction of Warhammer like with 40K and have it implemented in a different product line? I personally think it could and should fit with the main game.(But then again, I love magic based technology in my Role Playing games, Eberron is my favorite campaign setting,I love D20 Modern, and Bioshock/Fallout are by far my favorite Video games so I may be a little bias.)

I posted this on BGG, but I thought I would post them here!
