I just got some playtesting feedback for GASLANDS XL, an upcoming expansion for Gaslands. As I need to work through it, I figured I'd share my thoughts as I do. Grab a cup of coffee and a spanner and let's have a tinker. [Dev Diary 24.021]

while it isn't very glamorous, it is actually really nice to see the grindy dev work on top of all the fun in the concept phase. Really inspiring to see

Having a large collection of cars the way we play is by doing an endurance race style. We decide what and how many cars to use normally around 10-15 each. Then randomly decide what cars we each start with 3 each. Every time a car dies it is replaced with a random one. The winner is the person with the most total laps when one team is out or cars but first to three laps would also work

I've considered the idea of creating Hobgoblin-style units for mass Gaslands (Masslands?), i.e. a number of cars on a single base that move in unison. Something like 3-4 lightweights, 2-3 medium weights, and 1 heavyweight to a base. Or perhaps a minimum of 40 and maximum of 60 cans per base.

@WastelandsRaceway

When it comes to new game modes etc I'd love to pitch drag races to you 😀

I love the idea of massive hoard battles, and giant gangs of cars. It does get tricky when it comes to sponsors, even if it is only the heroic that can earn an audience vote. It does feel geared towards specific factions. Plus, I love Beverly 😢 I would opt to just remove sponsors and have a more generic way to earn audience votes. This mode of play feels more like novice drivers fighting to get noticed, and it would not involve the sponsors yet. I did a little bit of canon lore when I entered the silva challenge that would fit right into this. However, you end up writing it. I look forward to playing with some new rules. We are constantly homebrewing ideas to keep thegame new and exciting everytime we hit the table.

A very interesting approach for those who enjoy game design and the game itself. Looking at the kitchen is always cool, it makes the flavor richer. I'm already waiting for the next dilemmas haha, make a series dealing with feedback, I would really enjoy it.

New to the channel. The intro makes me think of the WWE Bludgeon Brothers tag team 😀 As someone who has designed a bunch of games(so far unpublished) it is interesting to see the problem solving going on. Just wording changes can help. I used to play a lot of Heroclix and the problem was the ever changing rules, too many corner cases and too many exceptions. It got to the point where getting a new person into the game was difficult because the rules became overwhelming. I like how you also give thoughts to broken combos. Do a lot of these come out during the play testing ?

I think about Gaslands nearly every morning, it seems!

This is an insanely useful video as a fellow game designer.

What about just doing squadron specific perks for the sponsors like Rutherford squadrons lose 'x' from the regular game, and gain 'y'. (Or just have a 'when in a sponsored squadron vehicles are given 'this perk') And I do like the idea of hazards being shared through the squadron in regards to blast, as it's sending shrapnel and heat and other stuff all over the place.

@aaronwilkinson2519

Love Gaslands.. like its almost a religion.... tell the misses i need this car..... and shes like "Is it for Gaslands" .... tooo bloomin right it is :D

@wombora

the "more then medium from all other vehicles" sounds to me like if one car of the sqaud is farther away all cars are farther away then medium from all other cars because the furthest car is in the squad - is it maybe "more then medium from any other vehicle"?

Have you considered picking a few sponsors that best suit the mass combat style and tweaking their rules to be locked down for XL then have a couple of new ones? What if not all sponsors would want/be capable of supporting these giant warzones?

To much new rules for gaslands XL , the most easy way is like the old warhammer army building ruls, 50% of cans has to be spend on your hore has standard cars 20% are special cars 0-1 warrick or bus or heavy truck 25% may be light bikes. Or buggy or light cars. Enz enz,

If a squadron is reduced to just a single vehicle, why not add a rule to simply treat it as just a normal single vehicle at that point? It would remove the need to have any special rules or anything for single vehicle squadrons.
