Full Version: NS the board game
whatever happened to that fantastic idea ?
Hello schkorpio,
I had the same idea myself a few weeks ago. I PM'd flayra for permission to try, but he didn't reply so I've decided to go ahead and try to design the game myself. Once I left computer gaming I turned my hand to board-gaming, and one of the games I acquired recently reminded me so much of NS I was inspired to try and make a workable game out of it.
It isn't past the concept stage yet, but I have a pretty good idea where I want to take it, and will start work on it in earnest in about a week. In the spirit of NS (a mod), I've decided to start out modifying the boardgame I have, then see if I can turn it into something completely different and fun like Natural Selection.
If I ever make anything decent, then I'll take it to flay and see what he wants to do with it. Releasing a boardgame would be a real boost for NS2, or vice versa, but we shall see. Most ideas like this don't get further than forums, and they take a hell of a lot of work and persistence. Maybe I don't have what it takes, but then again maybe I do
Seeing as you are also in Brisbane, if I ever get the game to a playtesting stage, I will certainly PM you and we shall see if you can help (providing you are normal, plenty o' scary ppl out there on the interweb
)

Man, I see so many aussies on the forums these days.
If that board game ever does come out would buy it but then again it may never come out(here's to hoping ).
