 | | Starship-A new RPG
|
| Dan Mattia's e-mail server is down, so I (Sean) am posting this for him: Since around September, about 8 people have been making a LEGO RPG. It was originally intended to be just for us, but then as we made the rules and discussed topics, it got (...) (22 years ago, 31-Dec-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.gaming, lugnet.events)
| | | | | My website and my Brikwars write-up...
|
| Well, I took the plunge, made my own lego themed website, and realized I had nothing for it. Well over the summer at GenCon2002 Others and me had a TL2(Medieval) Brikwars battle. These were the contestants; Evan Butzlaff(credited to getting me back (...) (22 years ago, 8-Dec-02, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.gaming)
| | | | | New Scenario for BrikWars- to be played in DC 12/21/02
|
| I have written a new scenario for an upcoming WAMALUG BrikWars game. It incorporates the lesser known rules for Mercenaries and Matter-Energy transporters from the 2000 text rules in a Tech Level 6 Urban setting. The specifics for this scenario are (...) (22 years ago, 3-Dec-02, to lugnet.gaming)

|
| (...) I wanted to make something other than a miniatures style game as we already have Brikwars, Lego Wars, Minifig death, Mechatron etc. etc. (...) I think you could do this even in an abstract game. You just need to find an abstract way of (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.gaming)

|
| (...) Yeah, I loved the sci-fi games from Avalon Hill too, when I was 12. Now at 30, I still love them, with an occasional night of board games. My best friend and I used to develop variant rules too. Although he now has two kids, a wife, and a (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.gaming)
| | | | | Re: Lego RPG DraK'en.
|
| Sorry, not to veer off-off-topic, but I had to de-lurk to say that I absolutely *loved* Amoeba Wars. I played a bunch of Avalon Hill games and that one was the best (although I think was one called "War in the Pacific" or something that I also (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.gaming)
| | | | | Re: Lego RPG DraK'en.
|
| (...) Hmm. Currently, based on what we've developed so far for Starship, I would say the only real use of the brick is how the game encourages (pretty much demands) that everyone build spaceships and other space related MOCs and share images of them (...)

| | | | | Re: Lego RPG DraK'en.
|
| (...) Yes, that's a useful distinction to make. (...) I still think the continuing story line element is an important distinction. In fact, it's probably one of the most important distinctions. It's what keeps players coming back. If a game is just (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.gaming)
| | | | | Re: Lego RPG DraK'en.
|
| Copied and followed up to .fun.gaming (...) I can understand this now that I have given more thought to the term. Such games have a relatively strict plot and to play through it, the player must solve a series of steps to reveal the story. (...) I (...)

| | | | | Re: p3b4 optional rules
|
| The rules as written definetly make a portable game. Many rule books just include sections with the optional rules. This keeps the game easy to play as beginners but also gives the advanced gamers something to sink their teeth into once the basic (...) (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.gaming)
