I have been discussing the concept of a slightly different approach to DW:T, and wondered whether it would appeal to others.

The concept is that you get to design your own squads and pitch them against other players in a sandbox environment.

1. The squads could be built using any vehicles you already had in DW:T (so that's ones you import from your gang, plus ones you have designed from scratch in the DW:T event editor).
2. The characters could come from a stock list.
3. The combats would be carried out by mutual agreement with another player: you challenge them, nominating a map, max CR and your squad; then they accept with their own squad. The combat starts immediately.

Sounds cool. Is this in addition to the way it already works, or instead of?

Not really important, just curious.

In addition, of course. You know I don't like throwing away stuff I have already made :rolleyes:

The way I'd describe the variations are:

1. What we have now is really a 'gamesmaster' approach, where a single person controls a scenario or series of them, and they have total control of everything in the set-up.
2. The proposed variation is more like a sandbox 'challenge' system where you're pitting your own squad designs against other players'

You're killing PvP!!!

Just kidding, I like the idea. I personally probably wouldn't use it though, I prefer proper PvP where dieing matters. I'm sure others would use it, for the same reason (why don't people like dieing? :P)
