Creative buzz

Sometime ago I mentioned I had been working on a new creation, which I am calling Ganglands. This has since been played numerous times in it's alpha format, with several different opponents, tweaking the rules each time a little.

Anyway, it has been sometime now since then and the rules have changed a lot! I've been thinking hard, developing ideas and designing new cards on my computer. I'm hoping to get alpha version 2 out soon for testing, and maybe this time I'll be happy enough to go to my local game shop and see what they think.

The thing that is most likely to hold this up though is a new idea I've had, which has been blazing away in my brain for a few days now. I was at work one night and it came to me and as soon as I got home I had to start writing and didn't stop until well after midnight.

The topic is a secret at the moment as it is based on a series of independent novels, but I'm confident in my idea and need to keep working at it. Unlike Ganglands this game will have a game board and I'm hoping to use special dice, but the main bulk of the game will be card based.

I'm just hoping that I don't lose focus on Ganglands as that is really coming together at the moment and is a game that I think has a lot of potential to be expanded, similar to the Living Card Games that Fantasy Flight have released.
