‘Ello folks. We’ve been a bit quiet on the Mutie front as of late but I think we have finally hammered down all the niggles and concerns I had for the Muties healing rules. This week is all about the Muties as they ride in, burn your fungus crops and hear the lamentations of your grotz.

Continuing on the theme of our hot off the press Tagz which in the basic set are primarily geared to be achievable by anyone, regardless of the mob that they play as, this set is purely Mutie based, taking into account their unique skill tables, their largely unrealised potential for fear and terror mechanics and several new features that while you’ve seen and heard of being developed, are about to be released for the first time ever to the general public.

Some of these as this week begins are not immediately achieveable or take an extreme amount of effort or luck to get. By the end of the week, these should all be within the grasp of a mid-level mob.

I’m kind of excited by this week as I’m the only Mutie player in our little venture so to see my favourite little buggers get some fresh treatment is really exciting.

This week starts off with our Tagz pack, moves to patching up your injured Muties with the 2nd Open Beta of Da Green Pitz, adds a scenario to help give the Muties a unique feel and if we’re really really lucky, rounds off with a true resurrection as Flamekebab kitbashes out some new Muties from modern parts. How awesome is that?

Stay Green kids. :)

Technical issues with The Wall

Filed under: news

Just a quick heads-up, guys. We’re not entirely sure why but Wordpress seems to be having a few issues with comments on pages. This won’t affect most of you, but it does seem to mean that the Wall isn’t showing comments. If it’s working alright for you, fantastic, but at our end it looks like the whole comment section is missing.

Rest assured, comments are working, they’re just currently not visible. Hopefully a solution will be forthcoming, but for now, sorry!

We’ve been talking about them for a while, but today you can finally use them in their full capacity – Gorkamorka Tagz.

Tagz are our attempt to create a system of “achievements” for Gorkamorka, optional extra challenges for players to attempt. Tagz show off the exploits of your mob and encourage you to try tactics you might otherwise not attempt, helping you keep things fresh and interesting.

We’re not trying to force this on players (we couldn’t even if we wanted to!) and we want to stress that these should work even if no other players want to use them. We also want to make sure you guys understand that this first release is the basic pack, hopefully attainable by all mobs, not just Orks. We’re going to be releasing further packs based around the different factions, scenarios, and campaigns.

dominatinThere are two ways you can use Tagz – one involves a blank grid and cutting out tagz, the other is a full grid with rivets to highlight upon completion.

So, here you can see the Tag Dominatin’, if you were to pull off this impressive feat you would cut it out and stick it to your grid.

Alternatively, you’d find it on your grid of Tagz and shade in all four rivets with a pen/pencil/blood.

We’re providing these to download in two different sizes – one is A4, the other is US Letter. Both grids are exactly the same size, or should be, the idea being to create a standardized size so that any Tagz created by anyone else will fit your grid, not just ours. Each tag is 47mm wide and 51mm tall, by the way, but we’ll be providing more details on that sort of thing later.

If you’re feeling lazy, just grab the Basic Tagz below. If you prefer to get your hands dirty, a blank grid is provided too.

Happy Orktober!

Filed under: news

It’s that wonderful time of year again for all greenskins – ORKTOBER!

Here at tUGS we have a whole load of things planned for release this month and we’ll do our best to get them released on time. Flamekebab has already mentioned the open beta of the Dust Rats which is going to begin later this month, so as penance we’ve forced him to make some special Orktober signature banners for us:

There’s a smaller one too:

Waaa There’s a topic on the Waaagh dedicated to raising the profile of Gorkamorka at the moment. One of the suggestions that has come out of it was to make a quick-start guide to the game available, as was included in the original box, suggested by the ginger hair squig.

Having not been able to find the original “Read Dis Furst” guide anywhere online, we located a copy and provide it for you here. It’s quite short and only covers the very basics, but perhaps it’ll be of use to some of you out there trying to get a GoMo campaign off the ground.
