I shared it amongst five of my friends, all taking an alignment each and chipping in on a box and splitting it six ways. Then games went wild, buildings destroyed and Carnidons screaming in terror and pain from the sidelines as they wish they were being played.
But the game kinda... ceased. It finished off the fifth wave, and that was all since, apart from the occasional special figure at an event.
There were a few problems with the business model that a couple of my friends found were a problem. Whether they contributed to it, I don't know, but the fact that it acted like a collectible game at such a high price rubbed most of us the wrong way.
Its been a good two years since, and I've had some jonesing for Monsterpocalypse since I got here. I left my stuff at home, and honestly I do not want to go about collecting it again since I do not have the income for it. But I've been playing a lot of our tablet lately and it got me to thinking.
Why not make a video game out of it? Privateer Press are already doing the Warmachine Video Game, so why not do a Kickstarter of a Monpoc game? Earn your Hyper forms by attaining goals, form up your units and organise them on the battlefield, create animations of a Carnidon exploding from a Tank Cannon. Form up online leagues and conquer countries from coast to coast, and giving buildings their own skins based on the current country too.
It'd be fantastic. But alas, just another pipe dream, and something that I came up with while playing an iPad and thinking of cool games that would be played by streaming through Apple TV. Or on a WiiU.
