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.
Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
Mike Ness auto-awesomed What a weird show. Huge mosh pit full of dude-bros and middle aged dudes (and some badass chick with hemp purse that she never lost) stomping around like the freakin' Bushwackers from the WWF. Met a middle-aged english couple who used to be in the music distributor business who had been at a bunch of the same shows as we had over the last few years.
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.
