Let's go! | March ?th, 2008 |
We were quite busy during the winter 'break' and now have lots of good news and interesting tidbits to announce. First of all, chances are you already noticed the improved layout of the website. I hope you all enjoy it. There will be another huge improvement for the website coming soon...
The big news this month is the release of the playtest version of the supplement. This PDF contains all the rules for playing a Border Town Burning campaign, including equipment, warbands, scenarios and more. Yes, this means the supplement is almost done! There is still a lot to do, though. So far the available version lacks graphics, background and fluff texts. You can download the PDF here. We would appreciate your feedback via email or the Mordheim forums so we can factor it in before the release of the final supplement.
Finally, consistent with the release of the supplement's beta version the Border Town Burning preview season will start in the April issue of the Letters of the Damned Mordheim ezine. Over a few issues these additional articles will cover various aspects of the project, so be sure to check them out.
Until the next update, --Cianty |

The snow is falling... | December 15th, 2007 |
Well, not quite. But still the year is nearing its end and we have a few early Christmas presents for you regular lurkers: Many sections of the website have been updated and some previously broken links will now lead you to actual content. Have a look and you'll find out what's in store for you.
So much for this year. Watch out for the release of the Border Town Burning supplement in summer 2008! Prior to the final release there will be a 'playtest version' of the book available to gaming groups that would like to run a BTB campaign and provide feedback regarding the rules. So feel free to contact us and we will gladly send a copy your way.
Finally, let me quickly say: |

BTB supplement classified "reliable" | November 30th, 2007 |
If you haven't noticed yet the Border Town Burning website now carries the Level 2 - Reliable label on the index page. To learn what this means, simply click on it. The rules grading system has been published in this month's issue of the Letters of the Damned ezine in the article "Maintaining Law and Order" in the scope of the bimonthly Cianty's Heresy column. As always the article is also available in the articles section of this site. |
|
Because of the restrictions - or let's call it quality standard - of the grade "reliable", few of the PDFs are currently unavailable. They will be back when they've been playtested more. So rest assured that from now on all of the available project's content on this site is tested. Furthermore, a list of the people involved, including playtesters, can be found in the credits section, of course.
Cheers, Cianty |

Marauders warband in LOD #2 | October 30th, 2007 |
The current issue of the new Mordheim ezine Letters of the Damned features the Marauders of Chaos warband as well as a treatise on the various tribes of Chaos - both taken from the Border Town Burning supplement (read LOD#2 here). With this teaser out now, we are working overtime on finishing and testing the new rules, building terrain, painting miniatures and more goodies.
Cheers, Cianty |
Revolution in Preparation | September 28th, 2007 |
It's vacation time and I will be away for a few weeks. However, there are a couple of cool things in progress so expect the next updates to be exciting (at least more exciting than this one). Until then,

Building Project: Crimson Tower | September 7th, 2007 |
This week I present the first pictures of our current building project: the Crimson Tower. This huge watchtower is placed in the Cathayan Borderlands not far from the outermost border town Sen'Quoi. The northwesternmost outpost of Cathay is the centerpiece of one of the Border Town Burning scenarios. The tower is modelled after the famous Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, China (go look it up on Google and/or Wikipedia if you don't know). |
|
(Right) These pictures shows the huge proportions of the tower: With three stories and a big first floor this building is not only an eye-cather on the gaming board but its comparatively vast interior and the surrounding balustrade on each story allow for a lot of fighting and tactical movement inside the building. |
|
However, this isn't everything yet. I have updated the Gallery with lots of official Citadel miniatures that represent models from Cathay. Yes, they actually exist! I found these little gems while browsing through www.solegends.com - an awesome website about Fantasy and Science Fiction miniatures.

Adventures in the Cathayan Borderlands | August 24th, 2007 |
Hello to the bravest of adventurers! The first parts of the Northern Wastes and Cathayan Borderlands are ready to be conquered as the Scenarios section has been updated. Pack your bags - and don't forget to bring some pelts and gloves!
Note: Unfortunately this is a little less than what I intended to present. I am currently focusing on finishing the fancy PDFs for the Mordheim Nemesis Crown supplement. Because of that there will be no update next week for BTB. But if you haven't had a look at the project yet go to their website and check it out!

Updates Galore | August 17th, 2007 |
This week there are several smaller updates with the focus on pleasing your eyes. The layout has been changed slightly - let's call it improved -, as well as the menu bar to the left. Numerous photos have been added to the Gallery, e.g. the great Lu Shang model by Don Haney, which won him the 2nd place at the 2002 Chicago Golden Demon. The About BTB section has been extended and now includes a text on the Border Town Burning supplement's content and a table of contents. Finally, there is a sneak preview on the campaign system in the Special Rules section. I hope you enjoy the updates. Until next week, when the first adventures in the Cathayan borderlands will be released (yeah, I'm talking of scenarios).

The Cathayan Kyoushi has arrived! | August 10th, 2007 |
Here we go again! The Cathayan Kyoushi has been added to the Hired Swords section. He is the most fitting Hired Sword for any warband of Battle Monks but he will join the common group of adventurers as well, as long as he gets to fight the menace that is Chaos. With his knowledge about black powder he is the sane counterpart to the Cathayan Pyromaniac - a crazy Hired Sword we will present in the near future.

The Kurgans seek the Crown! | July 18th, 2007 |
After the launch of the new BTB website we now present the first release: the Marauders of Chaos warband list is re-published in a simplified and more stand-alone version. In addition, as the new worldwide Warhammer campaign Nemesis Crown starts this summer the warband list now features an updated background introduction exclusively written for the Nemesis Crown setting. Check it out and as always: hit the board to let us know what you think.

New Border Town Burning website up! | July 15th, 2007 |
Finally the BTB website has been revamped. Also we are getting back to gaming again which probably leads to further development of the rules. This means you can expect some updates on here within the next weeks. By the way, don't forget to have a look at the forum, because that's where the latest ideas are presented first.
