Rusty & Co.
Monstrous Misadventures! Updated every Wednesday at noon, EST.
Wow. This is awesome, just… Just plain-out awesome. 🙂
Will definitely need to play this!
More block puzzles! The universe is so cruel to Madeline!
That looks like it’d be hilarious fun for kids and adults. Would it be okay to use The Game Crafter site to print off a copy on a sturdier board, to give to my grandchildren? I’d go for the Large Square board (3075×3075 pixels) and fill in the extra space with… maybe just a radiating rainbow? Or… what would you prefer I use? There’s a birthday coming up…
Of course! Everyone is free to print and play the game! If you’re concerned about the quality of the print, the Rusty & Co. store has the higher quality option.
Oh! I hadn’t seen that. Much easier!
I couldn’t find the Game of Geas in the store. Was it removed?
Nice!!! Fun!!!
Is the top row of trees the gumdrop bushes? ’cause I see the singing mushrooms and the gold farm at the end of the rainbow. . . .
duh! It’s the one next to the sugar rush square.
What happens if you are under both the “Tap your nose after Rolling” and the “You can’t touch your Face” geas? I don’t think this has been through a proper play-testing procedure!
If that happens, you either figure out a way to tap your nose without touching your face, or you lose either gea. Conflicting rules works within the rules, paradoxally enough.
That does make me wonder, though. If the gea states “do x before rolling” and you break it, do you lose the gea before or after rolling your dice?
The roll would be invalid, and you would have to re-roll using the new, lower die.
It doesn’t say tap your nose with your hand, now, does it? You can tap your nose with your dice.
Or a pencil.
I wonder if it improves your odds to win if you lose a gea on purpose, to switch to a smaller die, and have a better chance of landing on double roll or skip forward tiles.
Well, someone will be back * roll * Dude.
This looks like too much fun
This does look a lot of fun. Has anyone given it a shot to see how it plays?
Also, love the general creativity in it’s creation =)
A couple of friends and I have given it several play-throughs. We have discovered several things. 1 – It’s hilarious. 2 – You rapidly pile up a boatload of geas that can get really awkward (I was rolling a die with my elbows at one point, to the amusement of all). 3 – Everyone feels bad for Madeline at the block puzzle. I seriously recommend giving it a shot!
That is AMAZING (art/concept wise anyway)! Can’t wait to print it and try it out. 😀
Actually, since my printer doesn’t want to print the whole image – I might whack it into Flash and play from there. 😛
Ack wait, no that’s no good. A bunch of the geas-es are dice related… *goes back to trying to print it*
Either buy it at The Rusty & co store , or cut it into segments in a photo editor to print.
My old gaming group uses http://www.rptools.net/?page=maptool to play online now that we’ve got 5 players in 4 states.
You should be able to import to there, turn off the snap to grid, and play it online!
That’s FANTASTIC!!!
I’m just too distracted by the singing mushrooms to follow my gea.
I printed it at 150 dpi split between two pages of legal sized paper, then cut the excess and taped them together. Came out very nice 🙂
I plan to bring it to my gaming group at the next meeting. At least one other player there also follows this comic.
those last*counts* six spaces are EVIL!
Are those mushrooms singing “A Whiter Shade of Pale”?
I just about lost it when I got to Stabs sitting on the mushroom smoking a hobbit style pipe and looking miffed about it.
So all of the ladies get two appearances a piece. But I have a very important question:
Where’s Rusty?
If your opponents are currently under the geas “Can’t correct someone else”, I guess you might as well just declare yourself the winner, and see if they dispute it?
Yup. That geas is one you don’t want unless there are at least two others without it.
When you get over 4 Geas, you can afford to loose one easily. According to one of the rules explained above, violating a Geas, forces you to loose it. =)
Well, while I can still correct people (don’t roll a 7…) I should mention “Mislead by snail” should be “misled”.
Don’t forget “envigorating” should be “invigorating”.
I just checked Oxford Dictionary to check the correct plural and discovered I’ve been saying this word wrong my whole life. Geas is pronounced “gesh” and the plural is geasa “gesha.”
According to Miriam Oxford, its geas pronounced: /gas/
