30 Days Later (An ATZ batrep in Comic Life)

Two posts in quick succession! Looks like I can't get enough of ATZ at the moment. I also played a couple of games of Flintloque but have not had a chance to write about them.

I took the opportunity to try my encounter deck again, along with something else I have been working on, a revised NPC movement table which takes into account the relationship between the acting group and the group nearest to it (Friend, enemy, neutral or zombie). It is still a work in progress, but I am happy with the results and feel they make the NPC behaviours a little more varied.

Anyway... on with the write up!:












There you have it. Hope you enjoyed it and apologies in advance if you spot any typos!

      That's great to know, Michael. I think it is an excellent tool. To my mind, a lot of the pleasure of gaming with miniatures comes from the visual aspects and the stories that come out during the game. As such, I think the 'comic book' format is a very good medium for reports!

      I look forward to seeing your use of it!

      Thanks, Phil. I've managed to spot two typos so far, but it looks like everyone is enjoying it in spite of the errors!

      Cheers! I tend to take pictures first and figure out the details and dialogue after, so I am always pleased when it works out!

    Obviously not Sarah-Jane Smith! An exciting story nevertheless. Your mention of Flintloque :-( has caused me to revisit 'proper' Napoleonics - haven't I enough to paint!

      No, but I have her painted for games of Doctor Who!

      Pleased you enjoyed the story. I like rules where a strong narrative emerges from the game mechanics.
