Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
Is that a wookie with a vibro axe?
ReplyDeleteYes it is. He murdered the hell out of a ton of stormtroopers.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand it. It's based on the DooM board game, which perfectly summed up DooM and was great. It still plays like DooM, and that's a terrible fit for Star Wars.
ReplyDeleteWayne Snyder Casey G. That sounds EXACTLY like my first experience with Star Wars wargames back in the 90s.
ReplyDeleteYou use the rules/book lol
ReplyDeleteI am baffled by how bad FFG rulebooks are. Almost every FFG rulebook I have read -- whether it's a board game or a role-playing game -- has been a terrible mess, with a complete lack of logic and flow, far too many ambiguities, and no apparent editing at any stage.
ReplyDeleteIt's a known problem and one the company has had it for years, but there seems to be no desire to fix it. I half suspect that they know that someone on Boardgamegeek will pop up with a rules summary more coherent than the actual rules within a day or two of release, and will do it for free, so there's no need to bother.
All that said, Forbidden Stars is okay.
