    So a while back i in Halo 3 I made this crude boardgame that resembled candlyland and i named it HaloLand (TM). I never posted it online but gave the idea to my buddy Dirt Jockey who made "Monopoly" which turned out really great.

    Now in Halo 3 there were a lot of limitations. I had to use block smalls in order to make dice. The problem was that they only had three different types of faces ( gold, blank, and symbol sides). The way you "rolled" them was to shoot the fusion coils that held them up in the sky and then watch them tumble down. You would then jump up and see what face of the die was on top then move walk that many spaces with your spartan/elite. Although this system worked, it just seemed a little off.

    Lucky for me, Reach has some interesting new things to help me make it better. First and most obvious is the dice. I saw in a video that they can be rolled with a hammer. So i was thinking of having a place where you rolled the dice in an area away from the board, Maybe in a room above. Then instead of moving your own body, you would use those new 3D respawn points to keep track of where you are on the board. The fact that they are different colors will differentiate between players.

    So what do you guys think about this? I hope this type of game catches on and other people make their own kind of boardgames too. If anyone else makes one, i would love to see it

    the new spawn points as pieces are a great idea. other than that, its a very simple concept. no way to really give directions or anything, just rolling dice would be pretty boring. i guess you will use different textures as go back 2, skip forward, etc?

    Yes wooden leaf thats exactly what im going to do. My old one had spots that moved you back or made you lose turns and stuff. I agree it would otherwise be boring. I remember winning before because the 1st place lost his turn right before the finish line and i stole it haha
