BrickSyd’s photos from his BrikwaRPG playtest continue to be excellent, and there are too many great examples this week to fit into a regular forum highlights post. So here’s a highlights reel from a single day of BrikwaRPG:

Forum Battles: My BrikwaRPG Playtest (Gametime!), by BrickSyd

BrickSyd’s BrickwaRPG is set up to focus on characters rather than vehicles, but you wouldn’t know it from the ships that show up in the major action scenes. Some great vehicle action this week, including a triceratops riding a spacecruiser.

The President of Noxar is making a speech to the nation regarding the progress of their space exploration program. There is a peaceful crowd at the event, but just down the street an angry mob is forming. Riot cops are deployed and the military is watching, but aside from the president, there is a powerful object inside the building behind him. Naturally, a number of other parties have come to crash the speech and steal it, which will quickly plunge this political event into complete chaos after just a few dice rolls.

BrickSyd hosts this battle, but linked below are some other recent forum battles worth reading as well.

Judging has concluded on the second annual Halloween Hellhunt battle report contest, and Killer Karetsu’s “The Battle at Brikpass” has come out on top. The forces of both Count Shinypants and Dark Lord Krag Hag had the poor luck to be traveling through the Brikpass on the same day, and slaughter inevitably ensued.

Battles were judged by a team of five judges for a potential five points based on five categories: Gameplay, Photography, Violence, Writing, and Overall Appeal. These were combined, through mysterious Halloween math, to add up to a maximum potential score of 16. How does that work? Not even the judges know for sure.

Halloween Hellhunt – Annual Battle Report Contest

Killer Karetsu’s “The Battle at Brikpass” – 14 points

mgb519’s “Ambush Valley” – 13 points

Zahru II’s “The Dig” – 13 points

AlphaFalcon541’s “Last Stand on Raider Valley” – 12 points

Falk’s “Operation: Beachhead” – 12 points

BrickSyd’s “The Happy Ending Treason” – 12 points

Jodokast’s “Battle of Champions II” – 9 points

Sjosten’s “Desert Strike” – 8 points

Everyone loves to see the epic destruction that can be wrought upon their cities and towns of plastic building bricks, but you have to remember that the cooler your creations are, the cooler they will look when destroyed. That’s why many members of the BrikWars forum like to dedicate hours of their day to building the most intricate and detailed vehicles, mecha, and buildings so that when it comes time for battle the ruined creations strewn about the field will be eye-catching and beautiful even when destroyed. For this post I have linked some of the more awesome creations that have been put up recently.
