I had my first
Gaslands race last weekend! My opponent, Gorillamo, provided the cars and 4'x4'
Deep-Cut Studio mat.
 |
Gorillamo: Rudolph the Dead Nose Reindeer (Monster Truck) and two Buggies.
|
 |
Barks: The Green Machine- Two cars and a Pickup.
|
 |
| "Reluctantly crouched at the starting line..." |
 |
| They're off! Jostling for position approaching the first gate. |
 |
| The buggy is first through, but looks to be going too fast... |
 |
| Rudolph crushes a Green Machine car |
 |
| The buggy wipes out while the other car tries to cut Rudolph off... |
 |
| ... but is shunted sideways through the next gate... |
 |
...exposing him to a devastating ram from the second buggy,
exploding and destroying his two opponents! |
As the sole survivor, the grey pickup was the winner!
I really enjoyed myself in this very inspiring and evocative setting. The focus is on fun and cinematic driving. It is somewhat procedural, but this allows complex physics to be portrayed. I'm very keen to get a few teams of my own going.
I provided the gates (from
Knights of Dice) and the scatter terrain. The digital effects are from the LensFX iOS app, and the physical dust clouds are from
Battlefront.

It does look like seriously good fun, but I must remain strong...
ReplyDeleteBut the barrier to entry is so low...
DeleteThe fact that the rules are written with the procedure for each action is nice. It doesn't take long to remember the steps. And the steps are important - for example, a wreck is treated differently to an active vehicle, so the point in the Wreck procedure where a destroyed vehicle *becomes* a wreck matters.
ReplyDeleteGood one. It took a few actions before I stopped moving the cars straight along the template, and did all the correct stuff first.
DeleteGreat stuff - thats the mayhem I recall from my try of this game too! Love the effects on your pics too
ReplyDeleteMy expectations were thoroughly met!
DeleteThat's sweet! The pics are ace, I like what you did here
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suber! It doesn’t take long at all.
