I don't mind using them when building around a theme and using the points to put a limit on what you can bring out... but I'm worried The Boy is already falling into the "I MUST BUILD A SUPER AWESOME KILLER WARBAND THAT NO ONE CAN DEFEAT" type of thinking - which I can not stand... <br /><br />I had been thinking I might try running it as a pseudo-role-playing tabletop adventure game which pits the player/survivors against GM driven baddies - the players are a band of human survivors after the machines/zombies have taken over... <br /><br />I know what you mean about it being tough getting folks to stick with anything. Actually I tend to flit about from thing to thing, but it's not so much that I have a lack of attention - it's more I can't get people to commit and show up to games - even when I'M the one supplying all the figures!? I plan a campaign, of four people I had hoped would show up only one does... a week after I'd originally planned to start the campaign... we play one game... and because there is a lack of enthusiasm to carry it forward, I end up looking for other things... timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-16152629026383126162014-10-06T11:34:26.223-07:002014-10-06T11:34:26.223-07:00Star Wars?

I hadn't thought of that - but I do have a pile of old Grenadier/West End Games Star WArs figures - I could easily throw down a game for the kids with them!<br /><br />I had been thinking they might work well for a Firefly/Serenity-type Wild sWest/Sci-fi setting. timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-68811668487596088922014-10-06T09:43:11.948-07:002014-10-06T09:43:11.948-07:00Looks like a lot of fun was had.

I ran a few head-to-head games, as well as a four-player free-for-all. Both methods of making warbands can certainly work with those rules. I'd have like to try out the campaign rules too, but it's really tough getting folks to stick with anything for very long any more .Obsidian3Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03987358994076703659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-58463350211055983082014-10-06T09:34:07.549-07:002014-10-06T09:34:07.549-07:00They're a good set of rules.
