Promo 5: FireZone

Today another great project is up as a promo link in the left sidebar, the skirmish game FireZone by Gotthammer at Collegia Titanica. It's free to download, and available here.

The game is the result of a discussion with the renowned miniatures painter Mike McVey, who gave his permission to create stats for the Sedition Wars line of miniatures.

FireZone has a shared player turn and simple action points and takes advantage of the spread of the D10. Shooting uses the concept of range bands, and there are two types, as well as overwatch, while weapons have a number of features. Injury is by degree, with first aid also possible.

I had no idea the game even existed until a couple of days ago when it came up at the post on new 40K stats. If you'd like to see more of Gotthammer's activity linked with FireZone, there are related posts at his blog - here - with this being the key entry. Future developments are planned too - advanced rules, scenarios and other army lists.

Collegia Titanica is one of the blogs listed in the top blogroll - strange new worlds - home to makers of new things. There are 74 sites in the roll so far, with plenty of room still. The latest summary of goings-on has now been posted, and can be found here.

For all of those makers, I have this invitation: I'm happy to provide space here at the Expanse for a thumbnail of your game, supplement, book or art, along with a link through to a page on its release, or to the download itself. Just email me with the addresses of the image and page and permission to replicate the image here.

What's it all about? A little while back I encouraged us all to do better, to be more creative. I set up the new blogroll to help promote new ideas and put together a brief intro to many of them. Since doing all of that, we've had two reviews, of the Quick Play rules for the wargame When the Navy Walked and the Playtest Draft of the Humanspace Empires RPG, and we've even got an online gaming project going across four blogs, with part of the point being to express various creative interpretations of a single idea.

If you think your blog could be a candidate for the top roll, read this. If you have anything for review, I'm happy to tackle that too. You might want to read past reviews first.
