[alt rules] One Page Rules - Custom Awesome Mission Deck

I loved the Open War deck from GW when released, but I had to make my own custom deck to tweak some of the cards as well as make all of the deployments compatible with my smaller 3x3 playing surface at the time. However, ever since I started researching and playing Grimdark Future from One Page Rules I have been itching to make a compatible set of cards for it. Well last weekend I had to spend mostly recovering from a bad cold, so I decided to take the time to craft these beauties. One Page Rules custom mission cards You'll find the cards below all zipped up and ready to print here . Alternatively, you can grab a google docs template of the cards from my shared folder here , feel free to copy and edit them yourself! You need to duplicate the files to your own drive to be able to edit the contents. To use these cards, just get your models up, no matter if the armies are of uneven power even. Draw a Deployment card (they are compatible with all table size/pr...

Alternating Activations for Warhammer 40k 9th edition

A new edition dawns upon us and I couldn't resist making my own set of rules for Alternate Activations. I've compiled it all in a public document that you can find here , but you will find the full proposal in the post below. Full rules here Rationale Perceived issues with traditional turn structure in Warhammer are many, described as “I go, you go” (IGOUGO for short), this structure results in issues with alpha strikes and less tactical gameplay when compared to Alternating Activation Systems (AA for short). This has been exposed and discussed at length in numerous forum threads of which I will link a few as reference, so that I can keep this document as objective and summarized as possible. A few referenced discussions DakkaDakka: Suggest me some alternative activation system for 40k DakkaDakka: Alternating vs IGOUGO Turn Methods DakkaDakka: WHAAT - Warhammer Alternate Activation Turn...

[alternate rules] Blackstone Fortress house-rules and custom behavior cards

So I've come up with a set of house rules to use with the base game to make the game more challenging. These house rules have a few concepts to them: Simplify and streamline the game, not create more rolls or book-keeping as much as possible Make hostiles tougher and scarier, not simply flood the board with them Make the game progressively different the deeper explorers are As you'll see, I was able to summarize most of them on the back of the Combat rulebook as references, so it hasn't really complicated the game at all, but it feels much more challenging when we are playing, especially at the latter levels where bad events and constant reinforcements are a reality. I've scribbled these rules in the back of my rulebook as easy reminders. Some of these are drawn from various forum topics on BGG, but I wanted to have them centralized somewhere. Deadlier Events I hate the swingy aspect of the event table, especially if we constantly roll good results that can easily mak...
