Mako Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 We can try for a full charge to the stall, I reckon between us all we can get unstoppable momentum going *grin* Yeah, I think I'll pick up the 1.1 DzC book, they've tweaked a couple of costs and rules and added more info on list building I hear. Then I can use it to corrupt someone here into playing miniatures games lol ---------- Post added at 05:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 AM ---------- And I'd bet Hawk will have Simon there at GenCon, and he knows how to play DzC probably better than the guy that wrote it! Heh ---------- Post added at 05:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 AM ---------- Ha, DMFA made me smirk. Dimanika is amusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Oh? Now that'd be a bit nice. I will say, I've been kinda...disappointed in a way, with the UCM releases lately. Artillery and drones just aren't all that exciting compared to the stuff the Shaltari and the PHR are getting. ---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ---------- ...why am I not surprised...lol. Well, it is Dimanika! ---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 AM ---------- ...huh. She is a mouse, even in the Demo. 101 comic. Never noticed that before...

Mako Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I've not seen the rules for it, though the newsletter did seem to indicate they were capable of firing smoke shells for cover, and other variant ammo too I think. But I see where you're coming from. I like the UCM carrier from the last releases most of their stuff I think. The crazy big PHR insect walker looks fun too... ---------- Post added at 05:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 AM ---------- When you're not working, I'll take you over and introduce you to the folks, should be able to wangle a game (possibly against me so I can learn it too lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I'm looking forward to seeing Quoar's representative to the meeting, that should be interesting. And the PHR insect walker looks awesome. I'm sure the rules are going to be fine, I've just never been an artillery fan. And the drone carrier looks too much like a Jawa sandcrawler. :-P ---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ---------- I'd like that, it'd be fun.

edonil Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Based on the clips I have of stuff, it should be fun. They have whatever hosts are there, plus a guest, and they field questions from the audience for a couple hours. ---------- Post added at 01:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ---------- There's some other genre ones, if you've got an interest in those. Dark Fantasy, Hard Fantasy, Horror (so want to go, but I've got a shift...), and RPG Fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
