Space Cops Diary / post 0.0

Welcome to Space Cops Diary. I will use this blog to keep a diary of the development of the Space Cops game and to keep a repository of photos as the collection of miniatures and terrain takes shape and expands. 

The first draft of Space Cops is currently in use. It is behaving more or less as intended. Of course more games are needed and especially some 3 or 4 players games, to see if it is still playable in a reasonable amount of time. Traits need some work and eventually the improvement and injury traits but they are not a priority yet. More importantly is the core rules and the starting lists for gangs. I am currently undecided where to land on the scale between off-the-peg starting lists and points values build-it-yourself lists. 

I will aim to complete a full rewrite in June or July, once a handful more games have been played and any rulings required are made. 

Painting of figures and terrain is also in progress, starting with the Muties and a few pieces of scatter. Cops and Scuzz Punks are next in the queue.

The current list of gangs is:

Space Cops 
Scuzz Punks
Muties
Desert Raiders
Space Orc Commandos
Rogue Androids
Internal Accusations Unit
Space Elves
Aristo Thugs
Space Dwarf Slavers

I aim to sketch out the rules for a gang of hive mind insect alien types soon.

That is more or less where things stand at the moments. Will try to arrange some gaming soon and get the First Draft tightened up before the rewrite.
