Hell on Eight Wheels: Eighteen - New Board Layout


I've modified the game board to match more closely with the official track layout under the WFTDA. I'm thinking of adding some quick rule tips around the outside (or in the middle), such as the turn sequence for play, the movement details and the blocking sequence.

Just enough to make play a bit easier without cluttering up the design too much.

For those who think the track looks skewed and a bit odd...you're right.

It's specifically designed on the straights to be 15 feet across at the start of the straight and 13 feet across at the end of the straight, gradually widening around the corner until the next straight begins. I believe this is to maximise the potential collisions and conflict on the track, thus heightening the excitement of the sport.

This is one of the reasons why I included the first directional arrow at the end of the straight.

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin
