So some of you might be wondering what's going on - what is this Ophidian Wars game with minis? Well, the short version is that several months ago, Gregg and Carl got together to catch up and eat some grub. And of course, they couldn't help but reminisce about how fun it was releasing the Ophidian CCG back in the day. Yes, they got bullied around by the big dogs, and it was a roller coaster, but there were unforgettable moments and a very well-received game. They had a small but loyal following that made every minute worthwhile. Some of you are still here, and that's awesome.
Carl told Gregg about this idea he had to bring our favorite gladiators to [back to] life, fully tactile. I mean, what better game to use 3D printed minis than a game about teams of armed-to-the-teeth gladiators battling it out? They could print the gladiators in 3D, with their stats directly on the pedestal, AND also print the arsenal items so that players could literally hold their own stash of gear!
At this point, Carl was nearly screaming and Gregg looked terrified, but he went home and got to work. Strangely, one of the first things he designed was the Stormpod, which is now kindly referred to as the "alien eggplant." Sometimes the Ophidian universe throws you a little spikey curveball.
