General Discussion / Where do we all live?

« on: February 13, 2019, 11:17:49 PM »

I'm moving to the UK in April.  This matters because I'll need to find some new people to play games with.

Where do we all live?

HI James,

   I think that's a good idea and we'll get that happening - at least for part of the timeline.

Cheers,

General Discussion / Forum Member Cleanup

« on: February 03, 2019, 10:44:15 PM »

Hi all,

   once again I've spent an hour on forum cleanup, removing members who are obviously bots or something other than a real person.

The absolute best way to avoid being cleaned up by accident is to post!

Cheers

Great question. 

The answer is, "Yes, there will be".  We have based uniform colours on the comics generally, so if you use them as a guide for now, you won't be far wrong.

General Discussion / Why does it take so long to get my forum account approved?

« on: January 06, 2019, 09:27:47 PM »

Happy new year everyone.

   I’ve been afk for a couple of weeks,  on a sanity break.  It’s therapeutic!  But it means there’s a backlog of people who’ve applied to join the forum but haven’t been let in.  There’s another factor... we had a lot of bots join before the holiday and it takes ages to clean that stuff up.  So if you have an email address with yandex.ru, or some other dodgy provider, it’s going to take a little while to process your application.  I fact, Ike suggest you’ll be waiting an infinite amount of time, if there is such a thing!

If you are caught in this look, please just message us on Facebook, and I’ll reinvestigate...

Thanks,

ACP-Mike

Sourcebook Discussion / Re: Tell me about your toons!

« on: December 07, 2018, 08:19:54 PM »

Wow.  So much questions!

First, thanks  for sharing.  I think a lot of games in the eighties and nineties were like that.

So, questions:

How is the ACP164 game going to show how the ConFed and the EDF developed it's systems/protocols?

The sourcebook covers the history of the Albedo universe, and shows how different societies developed.  Those rants are reflected in the play cards.

Are there any "events" cards in the decks?
Yes

"Incorrect"/false intelligence leading to imbalances in sides?
That really depends on the scenario you are playing, we are considering options for a setup sub game that ntroduces a lot of that sort of thing.  More to follow after we get this lot finished.

Are there other "secondary objectives"?
Depends on the scenario. 

Are there any plans to have Homeguard troops as allies or enemies?

Yes, the HomeGuard is a distinct faction.


Citizens?

Rebels?

Guerrillas?

Corporate intrigues/security troops?

Pirates/opportunists?

Yes, but not all at once. 

Yeah, I've an active imagination and can see many many scenarios.

*EDIT*

Also are y'all gonna include any of the "talents' to effect the game? Designating one fig to be special?

Me too.  Talents - not at the moment.  Maybe a future expansion.

Steve is alive and well, and living in Seattle, WA. 

There’s an Albedo Anthropomorphic page on Facebook, which we introduced him to, and he posts there occasionally.

Just for the record, since we got that feedback, he gets to see everything we produce befor it goes out.  We don’t always agree, but one of our primary goals is to keep canon.

The sourcebook contains an optional rule for converting your RPG characters to the game.  So yes, it should work!
