To The Checkered

 I've determined a name for the NASCAR themed, Charioteer (THW) inspired racing game: To The Checkered.  The rules are posted here

I'm very interested in any feedback, especially related to the NPC AI.  It still makes too many dumb decisions.

If you want the 3D printable files for the cars, or driver information sheet shown on the blog, please let me know.  

3D Modeling Continues

 With my relative success of the NASCAR themed game, and the ongoing Stanley Cup games, I thought I'd give making a hockey themed board game a try.  I'm still working out the details, but I'm imagining lines of players comparing offensive to defensive skills, eventually resulting in the shooting skill of a line of players being compared to the goalkeeping skill of a goalie. Of course this game would need some miniatures, so I spent the better part of my free time today designing a hockey player which would represent all but the goal keeper.  Some working images below.  I'm not particularly fond of the gloves yet.

  

Most of the model was repurposed.  The body and legs are from American Football miniatures I created for a game called Tech? No! Bowl.  It's a great 2 player game, but my normal opponent moved across the country, then I did too.  The head is from the Colonial Wargame miniature line I've been developing and highlighting here.  The padded shorts, arms, stick, and helmet were purpose built. I think the model clearly invokes a hockey player without adding too much detail.
