Brickwars: The Best Tabletop ever?

Golem

Brikwars my friend had the rule book printed at a copy center, this game is freaking fun. Basically Anything you can build or imagine you can field, and the game beats the pants off any Lego Figure Based Wargame ive ever played. Does anyone know the site for it? or currently play this game?

Fellhand

I'm going to have to assume the site for it and the information will all be on www.brikwars.com.

Looks cool. It would be great to play with my NXT robot going around and smashing up things real good.

PenguinSeph

Why not a whole Land? Like, for instance, a land made out of LEGO? A LEGOland, if you will...

Thats why I love dragoncon so much...

Its like 4 days where if i just asked some random person if they wanted to play legos.... they'd be all like "Yeah, that sounds cool! mind if I bring these hot almost naked chicks along?"

well... pretty much.

There should be some huge nerd town... it would be awesome. We should get right on that.

I played this at PAX until I literally collapsed. At 5:30 in the morning.

This game is unbelievably fucking awesome, and I am utterly thrilled to finally see someone other than me bring it up.

Good job, sir.

Zombies Tossed My Salad!

Oh this is awesome. I have three friends that have huge amounts of legos, and already play TT games!

Rankenphile

The Rule of Fudge is the greatest innovation in tabletop gaming history, in my opinion.

Also, here is a brief rundown of the game we played at PAX

me, in the PAX forum wrote:

here's the pictures I took during our game.


The beginning of the game. Yes, those are rabid soccer moms with exploding soccer balls and razor-sharp fingernails, if you were wondering.


A little further into the game. The mecha-scorpion and the giant mech are about to do battle, and the soccer moms are in for some real punishment.


Like here, when I blasted off one of their heads at point-blank range, then built a gushing fountain of blood spurting from her still-standing corpse. I later walked over her and trailed her blood behind me.


Here we see what is left of a Dragon Knight and his horse after taking blasts from the mini-mech and the larger mech. Basically a pile of red blood and guts.


Darth Maul doing a flip over the minimech in an attempt to slice off the arms with his duel-wielded lightsabers.

Holy shit, this game rules.

DarkPrimus

Wow.

Zombies Tossed My Salad!

Oh god. I'm going to print this out tomorrow and call my friends up. This is going to be awesome.

The Tommy

What should I get for this? I lack, you know, Lego.

I'm going to guess legos and lego men, but I haven't read through the rules much yet. It might turn out that legos are only the most common and basic tool used, and just about anything is acceptable.

Zombiemambo

Yeah, I have a depressing lack of Legos these days. I should buy an assload of them and make an army of dinosaur ninjas.

Echo

You know, the first thing I thought when I saw Bionicle stuff was "why the hell isn't this a wargame?"

PenguinSeph

You can use anything as long as it's about Lego man sized.

Also, but little borther has a large Lego collection. I need to use it.

Also, JamSession, that is bad ass.

If we can use Bionacle figures as mechs, I would so try this out with some friends.

Go for it. Tell us how it goes.

I must find out how to do this.

The Tommy

Hmm. It looks like they recommend those tiny little Lego figures. I'll go for a budget around $20-$30, which isn't much, but it's goddamn Lego, so it should get me somewhere, right?

Except there's my total lack of friends. Ugh.

eryu90

This is all kinds of awsome, it looks like I have to go to the Legostore and buy some people packs and maybe a couple of the Batman lego sets.

Slanderer

this is amazing.

I am so doing this.


Thank you, thread, thank you. I will dedicate the deaths of a two dozen lego soccer players to you.

I have to make my friends buy some Bionocles first... I have a few from way back when they first came out (now assembled into a couple larger awesome custom figures), but I don't think they ever got any.

Unless they just want to use minifigs. But then they'd be crushed by the robot onslaught.

Unless you shared your Bionocles out.

If you don't mind disasseming your models, here's what I'd do. Get all the Lego, Bionocle parts, Minifigs and everything into one box, all unassembied.

Give each player a pile of bricks and give everyone a time limit to make an army. (Maybe you should have a pile for terain as well that everyone makes)

Play.

It appears Lego does not provide a service in which you can purchase massive amounts of minifigures.

I have two boxes of legos, with about 1200 basic brick pieces total and two-four minifigs. What's the best modern set around to both add to building options and provide a stupidly large amount of minifigures within a 50-dollar limit?

You can order minifigs alone through that, if you want. You can also order exactly which bricks you want to add to whatever you already have. A minifig appears to cost £0.83, which isn't cheap, though.

Ok, are there any tips on printing this out? Its pretty hard with HTML. I am concidering taking some time and PDF'ing it, but that might take a while.
