The NQ42 Preview...any attempts to proxy a game from it?

Pretty much what it says on the tin.

The weekly D&D 3.5 IK game I run is getting close to having a large battle and knowing from experience I'm planning on experimenting and try doing said battle using whats in the NQ42 preview and the Warmachine rules to fill in the blanks.

Though sadly I've only just had this brainwave and the game's tonight....

In the end just went with using the Warmachine and adapting the stats of certain models to suit.

Distance was done via the D&D 4th end method of squares and converting over ranges from 3.5 but using SPD as straight up movement which worked well. Also gave all the players 15 health points each to keep things simple.

Battle was done within an hour which still allowed for a fair bit of role-play despite a late start and the players enjoyed it, so if things in the IKRPG are like that then it looks promising.

I think it would be very hard to put together any sort of game using what was spoiled in NQ42 - it was great information, but it didn't even start to give you the amount of info needed to make a fully functioning character, or rules on how their stats and abilities were to be utilised. I really can't wait for this to come out too, so we can only hope for more spoilers in the next NQ, and wait for gencon.

I believe there was enough info at least to do some basic combat, just borrow some weapon stats from Warmachine you where basically set.

Life Spiral they also explained to a degree, but I wasn't sure if it was a straight up copy of the one from Hordes or a modified version so I went with straight up health points.
