    What play aids are people using?

    When he says "40 each in 8 colors," he means that there are two stickers per Gem, so the "Full Spectrum" set includes 640 stickers. Usually, you put the blank on one side and the shape on the other. As I said: If my reference says Phasers are red, then the red teardrop is phasers which haven't...

    What play aids are people using?

    Rather than poker chips or glass beads, I've got a set of PennyGems: http://www.etsy.com/listing/100599599/pennygems-rainbow-set-80-tokens You just need to whip up a chart that says (basically) X gem = X Effect/Order/Whatever. There are eight colors in a set (with a ninth color available, it...

    Big announcement today?

    Copyright law can get messy, and it's different in the US vs the UK, which makes licensing loads of fun. In the US, copyright is based on date of publication. Most of Conan is still under copyright because we had a copyright renewal process and most of his works were renewed. In the UK...

    Big announcement today?

    Really? I've invested a similar amount into a game I can play until my books fall apart. And longer, since Wayfarer is the exact same rules (now with less Glorantha!). As a latecomer to this RuneQuest thing, I actually don't mind the loss of Glorantha. I have some of the 2nd Age books, but the...

    Store Questions

    I'm hardly an expert, but I've placed two orders with them in the last month or so. Neither one had any sort of confirmation e-mail or shipment e-mail. Both orders arrived without problems. Eric

    Painting progress

    And you get a much larger bottle for that $1.25, too. I use the craft paints with the Privateer P3 metallics (they have a metallic purple that, in conjunction with their Gloss Black made my Deathjacks look like they had beetle carapaces). The craft paints also have that nice glow-in-the-dark...

    You were there at the dawn of the 3rd age of wargaming....

    Your fleets look good. Better than mine will - I realized after I ordered my Mega Bundle that most of my tools were worn out and in need of replacement, so I haven't been able to start on the painting part, yet. I still have assembly and filing to do! :) Here in the US, I've found that the...

    Decados and Li Halan assembly questions

    Does anyone have a photo of the Li Halan Destroyers with the mounting bit attached (the final attachment, that is)? I'd like to see approximately where (and how) they are connected ... Thanks in advance,

    NA Rules Query:Boardings with multiple sides and troop types

    It occurs to me - the rules don't say Marauders are 2 Dice Per Marauder - the rules say that they lose half as many dice (rounding down). It could easily be argued (and I'll probably house rule it) that the player losing Dice allocates them to the Marauders Group or to the Normal Troops Group...

    Anyone in the US got their Mega Deal yet?

    Got mine today in Seattle, WA. I ordered after most of you - just over a week ago, in fact - so I wasn't expecting it this quickly. If my wife spots this, I'll never live it down, but "hopefully this sunny weather will hold for at least another day." That way, I'll have some time to...

    NA Rules Query:Boardings with multiple sides and troop types

    I think that's how I'd rule it - but I'm not official in any way/shape/form/idea. It's not entirely realistic (If A and B are invading C's ship, they'd probably shoot at each other, too), but it's a game - the rules are never going to cover all possible situations and partial realism is as...

    NA Rules Query:Boardings with multiple sides and troop types

    I don't think A can designate B's troops to take the hit - the rules say that the player who is suffering the loss of dice chooses which dice to lose. Eric

    NA Rules Query:Boardings with multiple sides and troop types

    Perhaps I should have read the question a few more times before responding. :) I'd guess that the critical hits only impact the current controller of the ship, but I don't know for sure. And I'm no expert - I haven't played a game, yet (and won't until my bundle arrives). Eric

    NA Rules Query:Boardings with multiple sides and troop types

    Page 15 of the rulebook has this: But it doesn't specify what happens if players A and B both attempt to board a third-party's ship.
