Sentient Rabbits Gaming Society presents...
- Thread starter Hash
- Start date
I cannot even begin to take all the credit - the Sentient Rabbits crew were all awesome, my personal thanks go to Adam, Tank, TGT, and especially to Burger and Reaverman - Reaverman for the superb paint-job on each board (and Burger for letting us use his place to do them 
)
But also to all the players who made it - you made the tournament really worthwhile running
It will certainly make the next one easier (yep - we plan to do another at some point). Am busy on the write-up (will be finished by Friday) so more news then! (BTW we will be requesting feedback - what we could do better, what worked well etc - will update via e-mail!)
EDIT: I forgot to thank Untrained Monkey who was the "hero" of the day for saving a kitten that was abandoned in a yard...(either that or he broke in and stole someone's cat!)

)I think the card system could do with some work - as could the Call to Arms scenario for every game - there are certain fleets which really suffer in open space, and certain fleets which really excel.
As such there are certain players who will automatically load up on cancel cards, and others who will load up on terrain. It's just too easy for people to cancel opponents' cards, and leave races (especially the First Ones) out in the cold a bit.

Thanks for that - I take it both of your cards were canceled? I would be interested hearing what the other players had to say about the cards too, most people I talked to on the day liked the idea but would have tweaked it a little.
Personally I thought they seemed to work well (I was collecting some data about what cards were selected and used) but sorry to hear they didn't seem very useful to you.

My only concern with the cards was that my terrain card resulted in a single piece if terrain in my opponent's deployment area - not a lot of use to me. :?
Great work HASH and many thanks for letting us crash at yours! i look fwd to the write up friday.....please let me vet those pics of me...how evil do I look...scary
Grand work on the boards guys! Top notch
Bigger Pizza's next time for sure...that or a second round!
Cards worked really well I felt and although I had 2 cancel cards (biased!) I think anything other than that would have meant a field day for the shadows ! I think they served their purpose very well and added a great deal of stratergy to the tourney and they really added flavour.
As a suggestion maybe have a card per game (4) but your only allowed to pick 2 of any one card type and one compulsory terrain card. I'm not sure if I'd make playing the terrain card compulsory....

I liked the cards, but obviously you don't know who you will play, so a lot of people took the cancel cards anyway, as a precautionary measure, rather than going for glory with a card that may help them offensively.
Maybe work around how it is done? only one of each type can be taken, maybe add a couple of new cards for more variability, let the terrain card playing player place a set number of terrain as if he chose the field of battle, how about a Joker, Double points in the game you playe it, let in the beligians.. (ok, I bet most of you have no idea what thats all about!)
and let me play Tank!!

I took 2 Cancels because:
on a small table not much point in having non AJP ships jumping in and terrain would be more to my opponents advantage - not that it helped anyway cos lost all 4 games !!!!!!! I cncelled two cards and had third played on me.
Love the dice incendently!
I really like the card idea - however as other posters suggested I think needs tweeking.........
have fun
