Dark Force Incursion Playthrough Video 1

I thought a great way of see how this game plays is if I create a video showing a play through. At first I tried to set up the paper and pencil as you would ordinarily play it. It's a game you can just grab and play in a second but as it turned out you just couldn't see the details. So I had a think and came up with the idea of creating a digital version...now let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I do not mean I've coded something here. No, I'm simply moving assets around in Photoshop, which takes longer but I ended up editing the boring bits out, as I moved these images around. It took a while.

So I ended up with an hour video. It is longer than the game plays for as I'm explaining the rules as I go but gives a clear view on the mechanisms of the game. The video is below. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions. Cheers guys, Toby.

Presenting Dark Force Incursion - A FREE Roll and Write One Player Game

It has been on my mind for a while now as the Corona-virus spreads across the world . What can I offer those who are at home and unable to partake in their usual gaming sessions because of isolation. How can a creative mind help alleviate the stress of boredom and worry? I have seen other roll and write games and thought that might be a great way of giving something to the community to these very ends. Looking at what I have previously worked on under the DR Games and the hex tile has been a feature. I decide that I would try and use this format, combine it with a number mechanism and inject it with a narrative. This became a scenario that fuel the fire of the story...and Dark Force Incursion was born. " Y o u r l a n d h a s b e e n i n v a d e d b y a p o w e r f u l D a r k F o r c e .

Dark Force Incursion Expansions Launched to Quick Success

DFI came about through an unusual set of circumstances at a strange time, that I discuss in a previous post. But it was solid and reliable with a core set of rules and maps and could be download for free from my website. Yet, as if out of control, the game began to take on a life of its own in my mind. I imagined new land features, hex tiles, expansion rules and maps. I think that, for me, any creation is never truly complete, they just keep on growing, expanding, and ultimately opening new gaming choices. Pretty quickly I set about writing the rules and drawing the land features for the new maps and expansions. It presented as a series of updates with new landscapes that would be interesting to experience in their own hex maps. This presented as four distinct expansions that would work nicely as pledge levels…yes, I began to think Kickstarter. I had established a presence on Board Game Geek and the free core rules were out there for people to play and they had. I w...
