"We here at Carter & Sons Autowerks have a long standing tradition of hiring and employing only the best people we can find.  We are always on the lookout for new up and coming duelists as new vehicle designs constantly need to be tested and refined.  As it happens we are currently looking for someone new as our most recent hire perished in an unexpected vehicle fire.  It was an act of God really, most definitely not a design flaw...

Today we have two young, hungry duelists looking to prove themselves and looking for a job.  We will be providing them with two of our stock Division 10 cars, the Chainsaw and the Thunder God.  The winner of this combat will be hired on a a Junior Duelist with all of the benefits of that position!  What an amazing opportunity for these young men!

This match will take place in the J. Carter Autoduel Arena, this is our home turf where we build and design all of our vehicles and will be played to "kill", first vehicle knocked out is the looser.  Now we hope that both of our contestants survive to fight another day, but this is a dangerous business and you never know what can happen.  Good luck to you both and may the best man win!"  - Bad Beardo

This will be a two car battle that I will be playing out in VASSAL and posting every few days, I hope you all enjoy!

This has nothing to do with gaming but I had to post it.  Hardcore man, hardcore.

Combat Autowerks has been updated

Title of the post says it all, check out the tab at the top of the page, I have updated the Carter & Sons Combat Autowerks page with a few new designs.  It has been a bit slow going as I have been creating the counters as I go along.

More vehicles to come as well as a VASSAL play by play of some arena combat!

Carter & Sons Combat Autowerks is open for business!

Several years ago I created a corporation for a Car Wars Corporate Campaign.  The campaign never really got off the ground but I did spend some time making a few vehicles with counters and I put together a decent set of maps for the Car Wars VASSAL module.  

With the new version of Car Wars in discussion and moving forward I have decided to resurrect my old CW persona, Bad Beardo.  I have added a new tab at the top of the page which will take you dear reader to the Carter & Sons Combat Autowerks home page.  On it are a small sampling of some cars I created and I will be adding more as I finish up a number of designs I have in the works.  At some point I will also be posting Bar Beardo's Autodueling Guide, but I need to update it a bit first.  

Here is a linky to the page in case you cannot locate the tab at the top of the page, or your just to lazy to look for it ;)

Its Alive! Car Wars that is.

The Car Wars forums are buzzing with talk of the new 6th edition. If you backed the Steve Jackson Games Ogre Kickstarter at a minimum of $23.00 then you have access to the new 6th edition forums. Postings have been fast a furious over the last few days with discussions ranging from mechanics to content and everything else. Stop by and voice your opinion before its to late.

Mike Pondsmith on Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk RPG creator Mike Pondsmith talks about the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 and his collaboration with CD Projek Red. I like the direction they are heading with this game, seems to be a small jump forward in the story arc and not a complete re-imagination like CPv3.

Cyberpunk 2077

The new trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 hit the net today and it looks great. I am a huge fan of the old RPG, I loved the dark gritty future packed with megacorporations, cybernetics and drugs, drugs, drugs.

Hopefully they stick with the world created in the original books and not the shitty Cyberpunk 203x which was absolute garbage.

I love the videoboard in the background with the female, I think her name was Alt. The same picture was used way back in the second edition rulebook, nice nod to the old school players. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one!
