Spiral Bridge Studios is looking for miniatures gamers that want to try a new style of game.

In Rack and Ruin players select 4-12 fantasy miniatures they want to use and design them as a party similar to a rpg.

You can join the open beta here @ //www.facebook.com/rackandruingame

Spiral Bridge Studios is ready to take Rack & Ruin to the next level.  We are currently gathering pledges for artwork, layout and printing.

Come and check it out @ http://igg.me/at/Rack-and-Ruin/x/3369797

Today we added a sample party as well as some sample spells and terrain.  Also, you can now get our open beta test version from our Indiegogo page.

This is a Skirmish level game? Customizable? Will the mini's be pre-painted?

Rack and Ruin is a skirmish level game.  The funding campaign is to print the Rulebook.   Customization is the key to the game.  There are hundreds of options for a character between skills, traits and items.  

The idea behind Rack and Ruin is that a player would be able to take any fantasy mini and designer a character around that miniature.  While, of course, we can't guarantee a player can use any miniature the rules were designed to be flexible, allowing enough options and leeway to cover most of the miniatures I've seen.

We are including no miniatures with the rule book.  Leaving player to select miniature from their collection to use.  So basically if your buddy wants to use beast-people from company X and you just got 3 awesome minis from a kickstarter you backed and you wanna use this other character you've had on a shelf for 10 years, no sweat.

I have a very detailed accounting of party creation and game play on Rack and Ruin's BGG page http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/143040/rack-and-ruin

Sorry, for the long reply.

No worries. A long reply that answers the question is good.

Last night we added the cover for our Shattered Hope expansion and a new stretch goal.

Just under two weeks left in the Indiegogo campaign and we are 60% funded.  We also added the cover of our core rulebook.

With 6 days remaining we are 66% funded.  To prepares for big finish we added 2 new stretch goals.
