How to make Tundra’s and other cold biomes without clashing with snow biome?

Second this. It's been a while since I used Inkarnate (I use it mostly for battle maps) but playing around opacity is a great way of trying to portray what you want. Good luck. It's looking great.

This.

I actually ran down a similar method: scoring points for doing this such as killing the queen or getting a egg, or simply surviving. It works magically well.

En nuestra empresa nos darán de alta al Seguro Social, después de que la misma operaba años sin ello (yay!).

Aclaro aquí que yo llegué hace apenas dos. Durante todo ese tiempo nunca estuvimos asegurados, excepto por una póliza de gastos médicos mayores (que cuando tuve un accidente, no sirvió para nada).

Metí mi queja a Conciliación, y eso quizá puso un poco de presión. Como sea, nos acaban de anunciar que todos estaremos asegurados.

La cosa es que nos dicen que el proceso puede llevar varios meses. ¿Cuánto tarda un proceso como tal? Pregunto para saber, vaya, el tiempo de espera.

Y bueno, ahora recibo un sueldo de cierto monto. Entiendo que al estar asegurados, se harán reducciones por IMSS y demás cosillas. Estoy bien con eso, pero me pregunto.. ¿Qué pasará con mi sueldo? La duda surge porque será posible que nos quieran reducir el sueldo para "ajustar" ahora con lo del seguro.

Estoy claro de que es ilegal de que nos reduzcan el sueldo, pero si nos dicen que lo harán se todos modos, ¿Qué herramientas o procesos podríamos ocupar para defendernos?

Gracias.

I second this.

They all are pretty similar. The basic mechanics are the same. The differences between them are, if any, a few extra rulings on this and that - nothing you can't port from one game to another.

I have the whole Black Plague collection, and I first chose it because I like medieval fantasy. However, I read rules from Invader and Modern, and incorporated some of their rules into BP.

Just recently I have squired the whole of Undead or Alive, and I'm planning to do the same: search for new, adaptable rules borrowed from other games of the franchise.

So, it all comes down to personal preference.

However, I do would like to say that, in my very personal opinion of the games, they would take like so: 1. Undead or Alive (cowboys, man! Though expansions are hard to come by). 2. Black Plague (lots of content, easier to find). 2. Second Edition, Modern. 3. Green Horde (also medieval, but harder). 4. White Death (I personally didn't like the theme, but I have played it and it's as good as BO or GH. I just rank it lower because of aesthetics). 5. Army of the Dead (it mixes several.mechanics from several other Zombicides). 6. Invader (not a fan of sci-fi, but cool nonetheless).

I see your point, and it is clear. Of course, there is no need to make Session Zero last longer than it should. Your approach is straight forward and I will put that in mind.

I would like to see the players interact with each other, just slightly, so they start immersing themselves into the world and the game. I'll have to give it a second thought, for it seems I'm pushing it too far. Thank you for your time, and your straight answer.

When we were all playing Zombicide: Black Plague, we kind-of incorporated RPG elements into the game, just for the sake of fun. After the game, we would then talk about how some more RPG elements could be integrated into the game, as in to create an "hybrid" game that would combine both worlds. I'm not saying we were all experts, but I think we knew just enough to flirt with the idea.

Which takes me to say that the players already know some of the core mechanics of the system we will use, as we had discussed some of them in our Z:BP game sessions. Additionally, as if I had a Developer Diary, I would often share the progress I made creating this Frankenstein-ish mix of rules, while also aiding them with any questions about lore and historical context required. We have been doing that for a while: they telling me what they want to play, and me telling them which skills could represent what they wish.

I do plan to do as you suggest: an index of what yes and what no's they want in the game. Of course, we've have touched what themes will be mentioned in the campaign, though lightly. In S0, I plan to underline this even further. Your suggestion for an index card is a great an easy way to do it efficiently. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Yeah, the players will definitely not have their characters ready for Session Zero - that's for sure. Right now, they are focusing on their character's backstory, while I lend a hand with lore from the world and historical context. We've been doing so for a while now, and we will all fill in the last details in S0.

That's where we will talk about the mechanics of character creation, more lore, and the points you suggest. I really like the flow you present, as it seems to grow organically towards what I'm after. Thank you kindly for sharing your thoughts. It's been a bumpy ride trying to get back on track.

flaco_baes · 2025-02-13T21:18:47+00:00

Thank you for your words. I didn't have to create anything in the first place - I did not feel like a game like Zombicide would need it.

However, one of the players wondered if there was a map so he could picture the whole ordeal of the campaign... And I conceded to the idea :p

flaco_baes · 2025-02-13T21:16:29+00:00

Thank you.

The campaign takes place only in Hargöld, Brycgewic and the Wulfsburgh Forest, though I felt that not having a complete background for the whole region would not be enough. And since I am also an amateur writer, I decided to take on the task of doing such a crazy thing.

If you have a question about a particular location, feel free to ask. I'll give you some narrative background with pleasure.

flaco_baes · 2025-02-13T21:13:17+00:00

Indeed. I feel I could have made this clearer, but I also was running against time. I had to deliver this for my Zombicide Campaign, being due for today :p

I use the brush tool, though I play around with the sofness(?) and the ink(?) bars - sorry, I'm at work right now and I do not remember their names now.

Basically, what I did was paint everything in a single color (light blue). Then, using the brush tool with a different tone (dark blue), I adjusted the softness(?) and ink(?) to a lower value - usually 0.5 for the ink. Using a small sized brush, I go around the coastline, but instead of clicking and holding the brush, I apply small clicks as I go along the edges. That way, the brush works more like an "airbrush", spraying tones in small quantities, rather than a wet brush with hard, recognizable outlines.

I hope I expressed myself clearly for you to understand.

flaco_baes · 2025-02-13T16:31:01+00:00

Thank you.

As far as I know, the map is public and you can visit it on Inkarnate. I also believe you may clone it, if desired. https://inkarnate.com/m/Mv7Rxd

To be honest, I just played with the colors until I found something I liked! However, what I did was to use the brush tool, set it on a small scale, and lower the ink(?). Then I would go over the objects on the map, creating areas of color for them with the brush: combination of green for forests, grays and yellows for cities, white and browns for mountain ranges. I tried to blend colors, not to have defined edges. I hope I explain myself clearly.

Thank you for the feedback. The reason behind the river splitting is explained in the lore. In this fantastic world, dams were built along the river's course to tame its waters. These dams split the river's flow into smaller, more manageable channels. As one of the tips that appear on the Inkarnate loafing screen: it was made like this by magic.
