    Hahah, you are crazy! I did not know that many shields existed!

    On another note, you may want to think about printing transparent stickers with a basic inkjet printer and sticking them on black tiles. If you want to use pure Lego on the cheap I have no idea. I have been trying to use similar tiles and they are expensive to get a lot...

    Hi guys,

    I decided to make a single thread for all of my projects regarding ABS to avoid multiples and clattering up of the forum. So all of my posts regarding projects for Adventures of Bricks & Sorcery will be posted here. Not rules updates though, these will remain in the media and gaming section as they are not MOCs but a gaming system... (link). Now that everything is clear I hope people like my gaming approach to MOCs.

     

    So I had comments from people telling me that the basic dungeons would look better with walls around the rooms instead of gaps. I tried it out and here are the results!

    So that's it for now...

    "So you are brave my young ones, aren't you? Have you heard of the times that the Lord of Evil himself rose from the seven Hells upon his black monolith, blacker than darkness, and spread terror to the lands? So many brave souls were lost at those times... So many friends and soulmates! Heroes are not made like they used to, stern and strong, full of courage and honour! Where it for Mephistopheles to rise again, would you pick up the arms and magic to face him? Would you sacrifice your soul even to fight on the side good! Would you my little ones?"

    So this is a dungeon for the mini campaign "Evil Rising", in Heroica scale for my f2p dungeon crawler game (more info in here). Not much like the other mocs around here but it is all mine...

    Hello everyone.

    After quite a long break and on/off work on ABS on my admittedly little free time, I present you with ABS version 2.23.

    There is a lot of changes that have happened since last time which I will list below for anyone interested.

    V2.23 changes:

    • A lot of cards were consolidated into the rulebook for people that do not like to have as many cards and prefer to print quickly and play. Now only the most needed cards like Treasure, Monster abilities, Traps and Encounters are used. I estimate a 50% reduction in need-to-print cards. For people that like cards though, I have kept them in the cards file.
    • Encounter placement has been codified for easy reference and text reduction
    • There is now a Campaign mode and a Single quest mode as well as a start with advanced heroes mode.
    • There have been various changes/corrections/rebalancing everywhere
    • There are some new items, monsters and encounter deck cards
    • Probable more things that I have forgotten about but needed a change...

    I hope people like ABS and give it a try.

    Good gaming...!

    Hi guys,

     

    Version 2.21 is done!

    Rules

    Cards

    Changes:

    • A new theme "Dark Forest" for RDG or premade maps is included.
    • A lot of changes, clean ups and rebalancing all around.
    • Some equipment costs have changed. Some XP costs of hero skills and abilities have changed.
    • Added a summary sheet with most important rules and tables for easy reference.
    • Some new hero skills have been added.
    • The starting adventure has been redesigned and now is correct.

    If any one is interested and has played around with the game, I would like to add an FAQ section in the next version. I would love to answer any questions you might have.

    Changes:
    Minor changes to rules, some balancing changes and a few more items added. Some artwork changes as well.

    Overall a move to make ABS better...

     

    Any comments would be really appreciated.

    Thanks!

    PS. I am also preparing a map named "Wizard's Tower". A modular tower where you have to explore each floor while climbing to the top where the magical portal is situated. Due to my limited Lego collection I will try to build it both IRL and electronically and post over here.

     

    EDIT: New link for download. They should not expire now, I hope...

    These are super cool! Great work! How did you get the boots on the skeletons, is that something possible in real life?

    Yeah as randommess said they are a standard piece that you can find easily.

    I thought that skeleton archers are more like light infantry and the warriors would carry hand axes and shields and be a bit more heavily armoured than the archers.

    Wait to see what the Grave Guard look like...!

    Hey guys,

    Now that a lot of you have had the chance to go through the rules and maybe also had a go at playing the game, I would like to ask you this.
    Do you feel ABS is good enough? Would you change any of the mechanics? Do you enjoy some mechanics more than others?
    Please disregard the balancing for now as there is a long way yet before it is fully balanced and ready for final release.
    I would really appreciate answers as then I would really know where the game stands with you all.

    Hey everyone,

    I have been busy lately with the game. There are huge changes and one of them is the actual name of the game. Unfortunately I found out that the name "Brickventures" was already taken by a company in Australia so I decided to change it so that I do not create any problems. The new (and improved?) name is "Adventures of Bricks & Sorcery (A.B.S.)".

    If anyone is interested in following closer at my progress and adding comments or feedback I am also at BGG.com at the Works in Progress forums.

    So, you may download the new version 2.19 at https://gofile.io/d/ZOenpd

    I hope you like it! Please post your pics of dungeons and maps for everyone to see.

    Hey guys,

    The core of the new edition of Brickventures is ready. There are 2 files with the rules and the cards. As I currently have no online storage to give you a link, any one that is interested to get the new edition just pop me a message with your email. Size of both files is around 4,5MB.

    Be warned there is still room for improvement and balancing is still an ongoing process. I would really love your comments, questions and general input if you want to send it.

    Mitsman

     

    EDIT: I just tried to upload the files on a service. The link is here if anybody is interested https://gofile.io/d/Teep0K   Please let me know if this violates any rules.

    Hey! Check you messages :)

    Just to let everyone know, the second edition is a fully formed dungeon crawler with loads of monsters, treasure, lots of abilities and of course monster AI. Once I have the instructions ready I will post more. In the meantime maybe we should create a thread or even use this one to post more about Heroica, Brickventures and other custom work on such systems!

    Hey randommess,

    Wow! you should try some. I have abandoned PC gaming nowadays and have moved to boardgames. Dungeon crawlers were always in my heart and yes Heroquest started it...

    1) Look into your messages!

    2) Movement is just up to how many squares you can move. I never liked random move so no dice here.

    3) the fog encounter was to reduce visibility for the heroes. I did not like how it worked in general so I removed it in the later editions.

    Glad you like it!!!

    Hey randommess,

    I just saw you post as I do not frequent in the forum due to loads of work. I do have everything compiled. I have also completed about 80% of the new edition with more items, more abilities, more monsters, heavier rules etc. It looks more like a heavy Dungeon crawl game than heroica at this point. Check you messages..!

    If anyone else is interested to get the compiled rules of 1st edition I would be more than happy to send them!

    Mitsman

    Hey Simone,

    Thanks for the good words. I have been trying to do this connection between semi-rpg, boardgame and lego for 2 years now. I have a big experience with other dungeon crawlers on board and PC (as a player of course) and I am trying to make a new platform for everyone to enjoy all of these together. For free of course!!!

    You may msg me whenever you like, now that I know some people are interested I will frequent more around here.

    Hey guys,

    I hope everyone is healthy and well and maybe with all the restrictions coming up due to the virus, some of you might actually find the time to try the game with your kids and pop me a critique.

    Stay home, stay safe and play it out!

    @Aine

    Please try it with an open mind. This game is made for friends to bash monsters! By the way, I play MtG too! Since late 1993... so yeah decades here as well!

     

    All the best to everyone and happy new year!!!
