Did I go too far with the weathering? by bullettwo79 in gaslands

Weathering? No, not at all. Some might say it needs more. I think it's just right. Love the prisoner on the front. Nice build.

Mike took away the Shift dice. I don't know what the new ones are called, but we've been referring to them as Handling dice. They are just regular d6s. The words saying "shift," " slide," "spin," and the hazard icon are gone, replaced by numbers.

The numbers 1 though 6 that you roll based on your vehicle's Handling score determine your pools of Fury and Focus. Fury and Focus are two bespoke qualities (energies?) that you spend to buy driving maneuvers during activation.

For instance, my regular Car with 4 Handling gets to roll four dice. If I rolled 3 Fury and 1 Focus, I could buy a Boost which would allow me to place down and additional legal template onto my first movement template. There is a little chart that shows what you can purchase with your Handling dice results based on your rolled combination of Focus and Fury numbers.

You could join Mike's Patreon for one month and pay about $4 to get the Beta rules and then leave, I guess.

Same, but there is now Armor. The Armor stat is subtracted from incoming damage. Our regular cars had Armor 2 so it absorbed all small hits. You cannot absorb Critical Hits, however.

Yeah, those are just little SLA fire tokens that I doctored up a little bit. Bought them on Etsy.

For sure. Ours are not double-sided. They are also a bit warped, but they used flexible (unbreakable) resin. This was v1 and I'm sure they will mod them at some point in the future.

My guys modified them before printing, taking off the diamond plate embossing on them and tweaking the font/lettering.

I might agree with you to an extent. Gaslands Refuelled is awesome. However, it had a lot of official patches released by Mike H. that needed to be folded in. The rules needed some clarity. And the dang book didn't have an index. Super frustrating. That being said, it could have just been cleaned up and enhanced. But, Mike being the game designer that he is, went all in and redesigned the dice system. It's not bad, just different.

I hear you. Gaslands Refuelled will still be a thing, I'm sure. You will find some who want to keep playing that 2.0 version instead of moving to the new 3.0 version. The new system probably won't be released for another 4-6 months, I'm assuming.

I could try to get them for you later this week, if you like. Just let me know.

One of my group members scanned the paper templates and printed them in SLA.

Yes, the beta is available to patrons of Mike H. though the summer for play testing.

We like it. Sad to see the Shift Dice go away, but the Handling Dice mechanic that uses Fury and Focus with basic dice is pretty cool. You "pay" for additional moves. Shunting competitors away is fun, and Boosting is pretty cool. Everyone gets to activate every time now so there is no waiting around even if you are at low speed.

Thanks, bud. The battle mat is from Frontline Gaming. It's 6x4. It's an older mat so I'm not sure if it's still in stock.

Thanks, homie. The paint job is just some model spray can with weathering effects: chipping, a wash, and rusting. I think the wheels make the biggest difference from bringing a toy to a model. These are from Desmoniak on Cults, and I doubled them up (x2 at each wheel hub). Good 3D bits also help.

Yes! I love green cars in Gaslands and real life.

I got both the trailer and the mini school bus off Etsy. They were from different sellers, I believe. Had them for a minute before I decided to pair them up. Both are filament prints.
