The Wacky Racers line-up
Turn one is off and running! In no particular order as they weave drunkenly over the starting line, down the hill and across the plains to the ship’s graveyard, we have:
- Joan of Shark, trying to keep her Car-charodon from leaping right out of its fishbowl [Justin Davis]…
- El Diablaser, burnin’ up the witches Rob Zombie style in Dragula, mooning and flashing the other racers [Stuart Robinson]…
- Eribotes the Argonaut and Dekapente the rollin’ monkey, in the steam-powered Turtletank [John Cater]…
- Poison and Keek, the handy hairy humanoids, riding Li’l Growler, the blood-bespattered baby [Anthony Pastores]…
- Rahu the Deathless and the skittery Scorpion Beast, under the Amazing Fizzing Tent [Kasper Blomdell]…
- The Ayatollah of Racin’ Rollahs in the Whippin’ Snappin’ Ekranoplan, dragged by Fetish Dino [Chris Robert]…
- Sweph, bumbling high priest of the Swinging, Sliding Sea-bull Shrine [Chris Koeberle]…
- Oogah the Pantless on his radium hog, The Hate Beast, with Snoo the mechanic hanging on pillion [Jeff Rients]…
- Haakon the Bone Viking and Red Ed on the Bellowing Blessed Brian [S Pate]…
- Thora Dejis in the Bone Machine – she seems to be riding all alone [Adam Thornton]…
- Zanadan the see-thru man and Ignatz on the Vincent Black Boathull [Jeremy Duncan]…
- Jumping Geretta on her trusty moldy Vroat [Jesse Moore]…
- Grampy and Mary, treadin’ out the Grapes of Wrath in their old Model A [John Stater]…
- Ugg and Chaz in their dragon skull dragster [Reynaldo Madrinan]…
aaaand…
- Renard and Moon Boy on Devil Dino [Robert Parker].
By the way, if you think that last one’s maybe a bit… expected, you should see what got rejected in the process of distilling it all down to its current elegance.
The “what got rejected” links make me realize what a tremendous opportunity I overlooked: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/100339/gammarauders
…and thinking about that some more, now I really want to play Gammarauders as a racing game.
that’s phenomenal – and should definitely be in a racing game. Earlier today Justin of Car-charodon suggested a Moby Dick game… I’m thinking the sequel to CWR should be “Stop the White Whale”, and Kangaroid’s a perfect candidate for that.
