Board Game Arena

This advice is for the 4 player game: Not that I'm an expert (well I guess I am), but my strategy is to look at the number of coins it takes to get a point. For example, the cards with 7 coins of the same color for 4 pts = 1.75 coins/pt, the 7,3 for 5 pts. and 6 for 3 pts. are both 2 coins/pt. Reser...

Thanks guys, this is the sort of information I need. And thanks for reading the other post and understanding that I'm not interested in doing the graphics on BGA, but more the action taking and sequencing of events. I think I can get most of the data as static (the monster) and that is where I want ...

I don't even know who the admins are.

BTW, the game state is exactly what I want. As I said, I've implemented it twice before, first on Vassal and then as a javascript webpage. I stopped programing 20 years ago when AJAX was first coming out, and server side apps were just beginning. So yes I've considered bring up my own MySQL server, ...

The original game was on Vassal, but piece encoding was tedious when each piece has so many options. Not to mention that complex pieces slow Vassal to a crawl. You are probably thinking about a visually oriented map game. I would probably use Tabletop simulator on Steam. It is better than Vassal for...

So I understand about how the system loads the static game information on startup (well probably not all the details), but I was wondering if there is a call out where additional information can be loaded into the database from a file the game creator can upload at game creation, but before opening ...

It is not a revenue source for the game master, the game master pays BGA for their service of hosting the game. I, as the developer, would probably not charge the game masters, and definitely not BGA. It is not a revenue sharing model. It is a difference source of revenue for BGA, where the game mas...

Well this part of the game is just a simple combat aid, so I would classify it as a board game. The RPG part, as you suggest, would be handled elsewhere. The problem, as I see it, is on setup. Is there a way to load a number of pieces on startup? This would be in the part where the game is created. ...

It's actually my own, but derives from both Chivalry and Sorcery (fatigue and body points - proportional cost actions/spend more, get more, timing verses initiative order) and En Garde (specific swordsman actions). So the ideas are there, which you can not copyright. There is no replication of artwo...

Again it is not so much the RPG. None of the platforms I've seen do anything in regards to making complex calculations and predicate logic. For example, when you take a swing you must subtract the fatigue costs, calculate the arc of the weapon, where it will be at each following second, the force it...
