hm. well basing a battlefield off of the first arena is a bit tricky, as it would be hard to map it all out. the third quarter quell might be a bit easier to attempt
Agreed. Although we could test it with a huge forest-y map. I'll do two separate tests; flat board and forest/hills/river board.
if you have the right pieces, you could make any arena you wanted. if not though (like me^^) it might be best to stick with the basic forest idea
I don't have much either, but I can substitute pillars for trees if I run out. And they can be taken off as the map changes anyway, so it probably won't be too much of a problem.
you used mutts in your playtesting? howd that go, and howd you make them work?

There were mutt squads that we gave Badru Wolf stats, and mutt heroes who were wolves with 4 lives and a Drow poison damage ability (we called it "slashing claws", but it worked like poison blade) added onto their Badru abilities. Did you have an actual design for them? That'd be better.
just the idea that since they were based off of dead tributes, that when a tribute died, you gained a wolf mutt to place on the field

So tell me, what DOES the inside of your mouth taste like? .-.

hum. also try this rule: after 5 rounds, the game maker may throw a feast at the cornucopia. and maybe a few rule changes like: you and one other tribute may win or soemthing along those lines

Edit: if 5 rounds is too soon, make it more

Re: Hunger Games Customs

On a flat board, maybe, but on the forest map 5 is probably good. I'll try 7 on the flat one.

Re: Hunger Games Customs

So I'm assuming the tribute making will be based on Kaiyu's 'Heroes of 'Scape'? I've played with them rules a few times and they work real well, so check them out if you haven't yet! Also, the Cornucopia is coming along well, I've got all the templates ready, but obviously they might get changed. It won't be 100% movie-accurate, but so far it really captures the geometric shape pretty well. I'm not sure how long it'll take, but I'll update here periodically!

While working on them, it actually occurred to me that, given the similarities between my ideas and his system, it would be ten times easier to just use his rules. I've used it before and its brilliant. But I want this to have its own feel, so I avoided making it like his system.

Which is why, actually, I'm having such a hard time including non-weapon abilities. I think spending points to get them would be the best, most efficient way of going about it, but I really want to avoid copying his system. I really can't think, so far, of a more versatile way.

Re: Hunger Games Customs

I haven't worked on the cornucopia today or yesterday, as its been snowing where I live! But once we get to 'sad grey slush' level, I'll get back on it!
