Whirling, Transient Nodes of Thought

I've had time off and should have been gaming. But instead, I've just been lazing around letting my thoughts drift.

Anywhere, here is where my mind has been going.

Inspiration from the Matchbox Challenge

I recently learned from Bob Cordery's blog about a wargame in a matchbox challenge.

I have no intention in participating in the challenge. Even for me, a matchbox seems just too small.

But, I have been thinking about a super quick play game set of some sort akin to the matchbox challenge. A kind of micro game. I'd like something that I can quickly pull out, play for 5-10 minutes or so, then put away. (Actually, I've been thinking about this concept for a long time)

Anyway, I've found something like that. Sort of. Lately, I've been using Demonslayer to fill that void. The problem is that the components are all on my computer. I'd like something physical instead of virtual. I think that Demonslayer would be too large, with the encounter book and the map.

My idea is to create a quick dungeon crawl game, with the character sheet and encounters on index cards. Still mulling over how to do this.

Squad Based Skirmish Counters

In my previous post, I mentioned the idea of creating more counters (like I need more) for squad based skirmishes. I'm still toying with the idea. Here is the sticking point right now - do I want to do specific factions, like I did for my single figure skirmish, or so I want a more generic approach?
