GenCon and Monsters!

GenCon

That’s right folks - I am aiming to run games of Under a Hostile Sun at GenCon! Will share more information as I get it! If you are going, hope to see you there!

Boss Monsters

In a recent edit to the Galatic Masters Guide I include a new Scenario type, the scenario that is focused in understanding a creature. I am starting to implement rules for Boss Monsters that will be especially helpful for this scenario type.

Boss Monsters functionally create their own localized Hostile Environment. The powers of the creature determine what squares are Elevated Impact. Furthermore a certain radius of squares around the creature is considered to always be Pestered, forcing characters to survive Pest Resists or take damage.

I hope to release a list of 10 Boss Monsters soon. Each Monster will have its own “Geometry” - that is each Monsters Impact rules will impact different shapes of squares, giving confronting each on its own unique feel.

In addition each Monster will have a Tame Condition that must be fulfilled before a tame roll can be attempted. Thus each one will offer a very unique game challenge for the players.

These ideas will eventually reach In the Kaiju’s Shadow as well.
