I 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.
I 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.
It'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.
I'll snag this later. The first one was a lot of fun. Originally shared by Android Central Publisher Paradox Interactive has released Knights of Pen & Paper 2 for Android. Fans of table-top RPGs can once again get the full experience on a mobile device. We got a chance to play an early version of this game in March at GDC 2015, and now Knights of Pen & Paper 2 is available for… #android http://www.androidcentral.com/knights-pen-paper-2-brings-role-playing-and-satire-together-android
Okay, Hotline Miami , killing a dude by dumping a pot full of boiling water on his face? Awesome. I still suck at this game though. I'm not twitchy enough.
Is that a wookie with a vibro axe?
ReplyDeleteYes it is. He murdered the hell out of a ton of stormtroopers.

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

All that said, Forbidden Stars is okay.
