Plans are at last underway to place an order for a physical prototype game. This copy will include much more durable components and will give the game a more polished feel. I am currently preparing the print files for the game and I hope to have it printed by the end of this December.

PoA — Major shift back closer to FCE

Sat, 11/16/2024 - 04:01 — questccg

After much debate, I have decided that "Plains of Aria" (PoA) should be a game in and of itself. There was some planning that was leading in the general direction of a Magic: the Gathering (MtG) Format...

Hello all!

It's been a minute since I had a chance to visit here. Questccg graciously dropped me a line and I figured I would swing by to say hello and send out some good vibes to you all.

I'm currently living in a rural area of the northern west USA, studying permaculture gardening/land-management practices and sustainable natural building at a kind of "eco-institute." I've been here since the first half of 2022, and have enjoyed life here tremendously. As part of my internship, I've recently been granted stewardship of an acre, rent-free, for life.

Quest AC v1.5; the reboot is a compact game with a simple premise: be the first player to complete quests and score 30 Victory Points to win!

The artwork was done by Geof Isherwood a former Marvel and D.C. Comics artist and is real sharp when it comes to artwork: we scored a 97/100 on the Art Test!

Monster Keep — Re-visiting the Design

Wed, 07/31/2024 - 20:22 — questccg

Newest Version of the Game!

I need some "input" on this Design...

Specifically I am using 3d6 (White) and 1d6 (Black).

At the Bottom-Left-Hand corner, you see (8/0/0).

What this is meant to "symbolize" is that you need to roll an "8" given ANY White die + the Black die to deal "1 Damage". The most Damage a Monster can deal is "3 Damage".
