I just finished them off last week, and have not had a chance to
actuallt
playtest them yet.  If all goes well, I'll be doing that tomorrow night.
If the game is, in fact, playable I shall post it on my (currently
empty)
web page, along with some pictures.

The game mechancics are based, in a vague sort of fashion, on the Shock
Force rules--attacks are resolved with handfulls of opposed d6 rolls. 
The
only real goal that I had was to make a system that was easy, fast, and
playable, while avoiding the use of any charts or chits.  The monsters
themselves will be big 25mm figures; mostly old D&D monsters, and some
Grenadier Cthulhu figures.

This all came about because I used Bartertown--an online site for people
who want to trade GW figs--to accumulate a ton of the old cardboard
buildings from Space Marine.  I have enough, when used with Geo-Hex
Cityscape Cloth, to cover a BIG table with urban terrain.  I am really
looking forward to being able to do DSII on this table....
