In my career as an artist I’ve help bring more than a few games to life. I’ve worked with some pretty amazing publishers, including Alderac Entertainment, Bethesda, Crafty Games, Hammer Creative, and IGN. But there’s one thing I’ve always wanted to do, something I really need to cross off my bucket list. For a long time I’ve dreamed of writing my own game. Of creating the game that I would want to play most, and of taking charge and doing it from the ground up.
Well, I did it. Sort of. I’ve written a set of rules, illustrated them (with the help of a few talented artists I am lucky enough to call friends) and laid out the text and design elements for print in Adobe.
The Magnificent Martians is a miniature wargame set in the distant future, on the wild frontiers of terraformed Mars. Players control a small but magnificent posse of seven heroes (or antiheroes) and work to build a frontier town through a series of campaign based tabletop skirmish battles.
If you think the idea of a spaghetti western on mars sounds fun and you would be interested in playtesting the game, drop me a message. In return I’m offering a free digital pdf copy of the game on release, as well as a credit in the book for being part of the playtest team. If you’re interested send me a message though the contact link on this website or by leaving a comment below, and I will send you a confidentiality agreement and a copy of the basic rules. I’ll be posting a lot more about this project in the future as I move closer to a release date! Thanks for reading.
