Okay,
The confirmed players are Shaun, Dave, Jonathan, Evil Wayne and myself. Dan
and Jenn will be on-lookers and may also participate (if I understand
correctly). Neil can't make it.
I would really like to have at least three armies, since it adds to the
confusion and mayhem, but with 5 players, the math is possing problems.
Assuming three teams, I randomly chose them as follows:
Team A: Shaun and Evil Wayne (this works well given Wayne's inability to
build and Shaun's all consuming desire to build an army tens of thousands
strong)
Team B: Joe and Jonathan
Team C: Dave and Dan & Jenn (of course, this now leaves Dave to build an
entire army, like Shaun)
So given the above, I was thinking that it just may be better for all
participats to build their own armies (which I prefer over going to two
armies). I know Shaun already has too many troops, so giving an army to
Wayne I doubt would be a problem...I would also be happy to come up with
some units for Wayne as well. If Dan and Jenn are on the fence about
playing, I'd be happy to give control of some of my units to them. Each
army (and therefore player in this scenario) gets 1000 CP. Large armies,
yes in deed! (Which, now that I think of it, is 180 degrees in the opposite
direction of our last game where all the players only had one unit!)
Thoughts? I also have an idea about the magic situation, but lets figure
out if we're going to have teams or not first.

Just a quick follow-up...Dan is definitely going to play, so as long as Dave
can build the army, we should probably stick with the teams. Everyone okay
with that?

Well, *I* am, but I imagine that all those players *not* on my team are
probably deathly afraid of my wrath, and rightfully so!
I've already got a few ideas in mind... I should be able to come up with a
massive army for Dan & myself.

Whoo-hoo...Excellent! I'm really exicted for this. I've never played with
more than 2 other people and 99.5% of all the games I have played have been
only one other person. Thanks Shaun for fronting me some troops and whatnot.
I'll be there with bells on. [Insert Lame Joke Here].
Can I ask what town I'm driving to, or is that still up in the air?
BTW, I don't know what the dealy with magic items is going to be, but we
once had a game where there were lots of containers to open. In each would
be a random item. Sometimes it would be something that added to skills
(e.g., +2 Mechanixs Sonic Screwdriver) and other times with was just random
flotsam [1], but the actual containers were empty. When you got to one and
opened it, you rolled a 1d20 and consulted a master list that we had written
up. Then you crossed off your booty from the list. If you rolled that number
again, we just went up to the next available slot.
I don't know if this would be useful/useless, but I thought I'd throw it out
there. Feel free to ignore me. :)
-Evil Wayne
[1] Which we were using to combine with other random flotsam in a McGuyver
skill. So you got a chain and some dynamite, you rolled to make it a
Exploding Crack Whip (1d6+2). Failure meant the whole thing blew up on you
in a small explosion. Even if you were combining Crackerjacks and an
Wet-Nap. Mmm.. I really should get around to documenting the previous games
somday.

Ooo, I like that rule better than my stupid idea about slips of paper and
whatnot. Say, a 1d20 to determine item and another 1d20 to determine magical
effect? Let's see... items... Maybe 1/2 weapons and 1/2 wearable/equipable
things? And maybe for effects, 1-5 bad, 6-15 mediocre, 16-20 really cool?

Slips of paper ... on which are drawn siege towers? Catapults? Dragons? I'm
sorry, Dave, but much like painted torsos, just because you have a drawing of a
Black-Plague laden cow doesn't mean that your army *has* a Black-Plague laden
cow.
More to the point, in addition to armor and weapons, there should be
goblets/potions, gems, scrolls/books, and so on! Even some capes with
protective attributes (no invisibility, Dave)!
I still like the idea of some coinage, too, with some sort of goofy,
invulnerable vendor selling desirable wares. For example, a Plague Cow for
only 60 LEGO money units? Who *wouldn't* want a Plague Cow?

I like this idea as well, and can bring my coins to supply the troops, I have
several hundred arriving shortly, to combine with my several hundred already
gathered. I've also collected some little treasury bits together, books and
chests and the shiney chrome armor and what not.

Good question. The way the rules are written, it basically says they are
completely undetectable, BUT as a certain laser-toting opponent will attest
to, invisable or not, the Ninja is still physically there and therfore can
still suffer damage intentional or otherwise. I suspect the Ninja would not
be detected by infrared due to the slowing of heartbeat and regulating his
own body temprature :) Damn Ninjas.
Also, just for the record, Ninjas are not allowed in this game. Do we want
to allow for a champion per army (team)?

On that note, what specifically about Ninjas should be disallowed? IE, half
the reason Ninjas are so cool is Stealth, which costs an un-whopping 2
points. I'd either say disallow Stealth or make it cost more... Spider
Gymnastix I'm not so worried about. IIRC there's really only been one game
where that's been overly useful/abusive, and 3 CP's sounds about fair;
especially given the 50 CP cap. Thoughts?
As for champions... hmm. I'm honestly not all that tempted to use them for
my own part, even if allowed. Stupendous feats just don't seem to be all
they're cracked up to be in our games, and the 50-CP cap sounds so
potentially limiting to Champions. But that said, I think I'm for allowing 1
Champion per team...

I don't know...Shaun didn't want them in the game. He always has nightmares
over Ninjas.

So are we saying that no unit can cost over 50 CP total and not possess more
than 30 CP worth of SP with a total cap on SP at 250 per team? The team
limit is 1000 CP. I'm assuming that catapults and such do not have to be
bound by the 50 CP limit, true? Lastly, I'm inclined to have the magical
items that a team creates come out of their bucket of 250 total SP (and
associated CP pool). Thoughts?

Oh Shaun, Plague Cows are *so* 12th century. Who has time to wait around
for the plague to take affect? I prefer the more instantaneous effects of
flaming cows myself. *That's* where the money is these days.
I also agree that there should be a variety of magical items out there...it
is the spice of life, so it is said.

not to mention that the smell of steak lures the troppers to their
untimely death! :)

mmm... spice, for the steak, of course!
