Mmmmm. This is a bit of a 'think carefully'. Our previous and most
successful BrikWars have involved precious little hard calculation and
waaaay more, "gee, wouldn't it be funny if...", in the true spirit of
BrikWars, and using slug throwers of various descriptions rather than dice
to sort out fire consequences. James has been a genius as making this work.
Conscious that this is a Brisbane fest and we southerners are blow-ins, I'd
be more than content to follow the Brisbane model (which is more heavily
calculation based, as I understand it).
As James says, it means fill out your stat sheets. I have been probably the
worst offender in this, and entirely support James' "no stats no service"
policy.
500 points does seem a bit light on, but again, I'm more than happy to comply.
We southerners would do well to take some time to review the rules
beforehand though: http://www.brikwars.com/rules/2000/contents.htm (so that
we don't need Zac and James to explain to us how the universe works all the
time). The rules are a pretty fun read anyway, for the most part.

Cool by me. As Richie says, TL5. Must find out what it costs in points to
put cutlass bayonets on your blaster...

The Especially Cross Piratical Space Dudes stand ready for anything (that
can end with a keg of rum).

| (...) Actually, the Brisbane model, as you put it, so far has been the most minimal rules and dice throwing possible and a lot of make-it-up-as-you-go stuff! But I think we need the rules just to have a proper game. I agree with the no stats no play (...) (22 years ago, 3-May-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
