Assuming I'm not too late to sign up, I'd be interested in taking part in this. All my GoMo boyz have since been rebased and absorbed into my 40K army but they'll still work fine and I've got plenty of "interesting" buggies and traks available. Alternatively I can roll out the Gretchin revolutionaries, they've never actually won a game but there's a first time for everything .

Regular vehicles only, better leave the sail powered grots at home. See this thread for guidelines.

If we can come up with a simple customisation scheme for this game can we please please please soup up our rides? I'll do all the work and make up some data sheets for the individual vehicles for quick, easy reference on the day, and feed it and bathe it please daddy PLEASE?! I'm thinking along the lines of three upgrades per vehicle (with appropriate penalties for taking more than one in a specific area (like speed penalties for extra armour). Also, maybe access to one 'wargear' card each (like 'bolt-on heavy stubber' or 'nitrous oxide'). Players need to 'register' their vehicle by a set date or be lumped with a stock chassis. PLEASE DADDY PLEASE!

Tempting as it is to go crazy with vehicle designs, In the interests of simplicity I would say stick to the original plan and keep it simple, introducing extra bookkeeping introduces extra overhead which will only slow the game down. Not everyone playing is going to be very familiar with the ruleset in the firs place and I would rather get two simple games played than one complex one. The benefits to having individually detailed vehicles with special rules do no outweigh the benefits of simplicity and transparency of what is going on to my mind.

Definitely. Part WWI, part ZZ Top, part prohibition era Chicago, all old school 41st millennium.

PLEASE DADDY PLEASE!

While everything that you mention sounds like fun Captain Crooks, my attitude to games like this is similar to theottovonbismarks (unsurprising, since we have gamed together for many years).

Simple will work. The more complex the plan gets the less likely that it will work. The more players added to a situation the more time it takes. Multiply each extra rule by the number of players and significant time increases happen, leading to more downtime (a very bad thing for multiplayer games) and the likelihood that it will over run the time allotted.

I can manage what is required to get this game to work in a con environment between now and the BOYL weekend, but Im not getting into customisation etc. The intention for this game at the ideas inception was to have an excuse for a few folks to put some of the cool vehicles that they have been working on on a table together for a short game, where we can have a couple of quick silly laughs and make appropriate silly noises.

Vrrrrrrrooooommmmm!!! Dakka, dakka, dakka!!!!

You took the words right out of my mouth Colin

All that said I am more than happy to step aside and have someone else take over the running of this event if you are volunteering Captain Crooks. I stepped in late to take over the running of the game because it needed someone to run it, but if you would like to take over the game rules then I am more than happy to pass the reins to you

I want to be a part of BOYL so bad I'd sell a kidney to get an airline ticket (if my wife would let me) but as it is I'm living vicariously through JB Assless who will be driving my [vehicle] to death and glory for the gorkabash. However...
I ask for just one chance to show you my idea - before the weekend is out I'll demonstrate the simple customisation plan with a full printable vehicle template that will both provide all the info you need for your vehicle without further reference required, and also provide a fun memento for a gore-filled vehicular homicide festival. If the answer is still no, I will go back into my box and you'll hear nothing more about it

Back in your box?

Well OK then. If you really are a Cenobite I don't want to be the one to refuse your pitch.

Ah. JB mentioned that you had an impressive vehicle coming, so I thought that perhaps you were too, somehow.

Captain, you categorically do not require my authorisation to do anything. In the nicest possible way, do whatever you want

I thought this was clear enough with me as Danny and Captain as Kenickie... or am I th eonly one to know and love Grease around here

I've just realized, my vehicle has the same Zinge blower and exhausts as yours, and also, the same machine gun... this must be how women feel when they turn up to a party and someone is wearing the same dress, awkwaaaard

 

[Asslessman]

Don't know about that but it sure does feel like when I turn up to a concert and some guy is wearing the same Megadeth/iron maiden/slayer/cannibal corpse T-shirt

 

[Harry]

I hate it when someone has the same Zinge Blower!

I have a Gorka-Morka T-shirt.

There comes a time in a Squat's life when enough is enough. For years, the gangs around Ferrograd have had nothing and noone standing in the way of them making free with the law and terrorising honest, hard working citizens. Every dwarf has a breaking point. Turda Burgalsson has just reached his. Introducing the KILLDOZER 5000 SE. Coming to a BOYL near you

 

[Asslessman]

Is there one game we're playing that is not Totally überawesome ?
I just love the Killdozer 5000 SE and I adore its little background.

Oh and it's my ride

 

[whiskey priest]

Hahaha! That's brilliant! My 12 year old self is never going to believe the games we're going to be playing! So much insanely good ideas!

 

[ardyer]

Wow, that is amazing!

 

[Captain Crooks]

For your consideration:



I have kept the vehicle stats vanilla as per the Gorkamorka rules, with one exception: upgrades. I have included, for an example, the upgrade of 'light machinegun', which is an additional small gun a player can add to their model. I plan two more upgrades, one is a supercharger, the other probably some armour upgrade. Players can choose just ONE upgrade, represented by a snazzy card, like so:



This way, a small amount of individuality can be added, to better represent the models and their traits. What do you think?

Regardless of your choice, i'm happy to make a data sheet for all the entrants, minus the upgrade part if need be, so you can have the sheets to refer to on the day.

 

[Asslessman]

I don't know a thing about GoMo rules so I'm leaving all of this in your skileld hands guys. Only thing I'm gonnna say is , whatever the rules for this baby, I'm gonna drive it like a maniac, charging every god damn ork I see while swearing in scandinavian and throwing beer bottles.

The Killdozer is fantastic. Can we get a shot of it alongside a soon to be mashed pedestrian?
