POST-COMPO Version has been updated to v0.3.1 in Tabletop Simulator and the P&P Extras folder.
NOTE: This is a board game for 2 to 6 players
I didn't have enough time to make Enemy and Enhancement cards before the Compo deadline, so when you play do not go to the Laboratory, Outskirts, or Dungeon. This game has also not been playtested at all during the Compo and is not at all balanced. But hey, for my first solo entry AND my first board game entry, I don't think it came out *too* terrible. :P
Welcome to Weapon Quest!
The Smithing Town of Ludumsville is hosting their annual weaponcraft tournament one week from now. As an up and coming weaponsmith, you have decided to enter the competition. You will have one week to collect various different parts and craft them into the ULTIMATE WEAPON! However, you are not the only weaponsmith in town this week...
Rules are included in the Print & Play link. Updated Post-Compo Rules are included in the P&P Extras link and TTS mod [Post-Compo Rules Last Updated at 23:50 EST 4/28/15]
There's more blank spaces to fill than just the card art. ;) When trying to figure out exactly what a part is, or how your parts fit together, just use your imagination and go nuts! No matter what happens, your weapon does NOT have to make sense, and is encouraged not to! :D
POST-COMPO: Vassal Module Card Art that isn't just blank space, but will still look as bad as the game board. :V [ONGOING] Re-balance board, cards, and rules based on playtesting & feedback. [DONE] Add Monster Cards [DONE] Black & White Board and Cards [DONE] Add Enhancement Cards [DONE] Cards are now on single image sheets for (hopefully) easier printing/cutting [DONE] Papercraft Custom Dice
So I just finished two rounds of playtesting with some friends, and it turns out the game is way more imbalanced than I realized. :S I took a ton of notes on things to change, and I'll try to implement it all ASAP and start on making the missing decks.
What do you do with Steam Workshop/Tabletop Simulator? I love boardgames, but it's nearly impossible to test a boardgames in the LD environment. Man, good luck to you on this :)
Did you chuck it on BGG? You might get more plays/feedback there :)
If you own Tabletop Simulator, click the green +Subscribe button on the Steam Workshop page. The next time you launch Tabletop Sim, the game will check for updates to mods you have subscribed to and automatically download them. While you're in a singleplayer or multiplayer lobby, go to Games -> Workshop and click on Weapon Quest in the list to load it.
I don't know where on BGG to put it, but I'll look into that after I add monsters to the game.
This game looks awesome to play with friends, it's so rare to see tabletop games on Ludum Dare! With some graphics on the cards, it'll be great! Congratulations! :D
I really like this idea for a board game. I'm impressed you got so much done in a weekend! I might have to print this out and play it with some friends
