Looking for a specific game.

Postby freemustard » Thu Dec 06, 2012 12:47 pm

It was a kind of individual skirmish game. The first page had some manner of bluish artwork, I think it was a female assassin kind of character. One of the main parts of the game was painting the pips on the dice with your various stats. My PDF for it has disappeared, and I don't recall its name. I'm 95% sure I found it on here.

Hello. Is there anything else you can say about the game? We have over 500 here, so it may take a while to find something specific. I found a few possibilities by searching for various "battle" and "hero" games.

has a female super hero dressed in blue on the cover, and does cover mostly combat between characters with randomly determined powers.

is another fighting game, but its card based.

might be another possibility.

also seems to have some similar artwork.

I hope this helps.

None of these are what I was looking for, but thank you for the help! Good to know there are good souls out there.
I remember that it included rules for capture the flag games, deathmatch games, etc. I think it operated on a WYSIWYG basis for miniatures. You were to paint the pips on the dice different colors for each stat or skill. It included little character sheets at the back for your fighter, with the six sides of a die on one side you could use for reference, I think they were on an orange background.

If I think of anything else I'll update. Thank you for your help!

Chainsaw is our Archavist-in-chief. He has all the PDFs printed and stored according to the Dewey decimal system. There is nothing this chap doesn't know about our inventory.

I believe that the PDFs are actually stored in Chainsaw Aardvark's brain, not on a server. Thus OUR GLORIOUS BENEFACTOR saves money on hosting and Dr. Prof. Lang can postpone creating a normal search engine! It's one devilish scheme of these evil masterminds!

Freemustard, I think the game you're looking for is called "Whack and Slaughter" (or "Whack & Slaughter"): the front cover has a bluish assassin-type woman and a quick glance at the rules seems to match your description. I hope that helps. 8-)

Interesting resolution mechanic, seems a little unlikely that you'd be able to do the things you wanted in a given turn but the concept is interesting.

A B C! Welcome! And an excellent first post. Are you de-lurking with that post?

Also, congratulations for out-guessing Chainsaw Archive. For we do not know where CA ends and the archive begins...

It fills me with shame to know I have not downloaded every PDF on the internet. I must now go and preform twelve labors of contrition.

Hmm, that was easy. Someone name "Herakles" took care of them already. Oh well, more time for downloading I guess.

Welcome to 1km1kt.net, and thank you for for finding that game.
