I do hope so ... there hasn't been much discussion the past couple weeks on it,
since people were getting ready to run off to Brickfest, travelling to and from
Brickfest, attending Brickfest, or recuperating from Brickfest. But now that
that seems to be winding down ...
Actually, I've ben working on some more buildings and scenery for the upcoming
game. I've been tentatively trying to keep September open, but I guess it's
time to try and figure out a date that works. I believe that I am available all
four weekends:
6th
13th
20th
27th
but I'm checking on that to make sure.
So far, the consensus has been towards TL 5 or 6, ala BubbleGum Crisis. With
small CP caps. Preliminarily, shall we say there's a 150 CP cap per person? We
can adjust this as people start to build. Or would people prefer something
slightly larger or smaller?
So ... other than Wayne and I, who wants to play? And what weekend looks good
for people?
Power Armor, troops, small vehicles! Buildings with detailed and accessible
interiors! The small budgets won't allow for anything too blastariffic, which
is better for street fighting anyway.
In Summary:
DATE: September TBD, 2003
TL: 6
Budget per person: 150 CP
Teams: TBD
Environs: Urban
Anything else?
