Maxim #14 - Wood and Nanny Jars

Update #12 · Dec 17, 2011 · 2 comments

Maxim  14 ($73,103)

"Mad Science" means never stopping to ask "what's the worst thing that could happen?"

  Sunday is still coming and with it, some extra goodies.

 Our last minute push, the slide into home and the feeling of a mission well done.  It is something we discussed prior to starting the Schlock Mercenary campaign of awesomeness. It is something I would have liked to been able to provide for every token, but trees, they like to fight back, which is why lumberjacks charge so much for the kills.

 - Wood Tokens: I want to provide wooden discs for the characters in addition to the normal chipboard tokens.  I want every game that goes to a KickStarter supporter to have hefty wooden character discs with great illustrations on the top.  Wood and custom stickers so that you'll absolutely be able to raise up above the board requires more than the chipboard ones do.

 Every character (and drone) disc will be 1" in diameter, 1/8" thick of real wood.  The fully colored stickers (front and back) will be professionally printed of course.  These will be a nice addition to your game.

 - Oh, and we'll provide some additional chipboard tokens featuring a number of characters with their heads in the Nanny Jars.  Sure to be a hit when push comes to shove comes to knife comes to pistol comes to plasma cannon comes to crippling injury with horrific pain. 

Thank you again to all of the Schlock Mercenary fans, Living Worlds Games supporters and people who love good light tactical shooters.  We couldn't have done it without you.

      If you make a "magic Cryokit" special item (or floor tile), the head jars can be used to let the Toughs retrieve the heads from their buddie's bodies and revive them in large and complex scenarios. Say for instance that a head can be pickled if retrieved from the corpse within one round from the killshot (but not if incinerated with plasma) and can then be restored to combat fitness by being carried to the cryokit and placed inside for a suitable number of rounds... That would open up a lot of interesting possibilities!

      OK - character heads in Nanny jars would be *perfect* for rescue / dustoff missions!!! The Toughs have to Teraport in, at least one character must move to the Nanny Jar, and take it back out via Teraport.
