PART ONE - PROJECT OUTLINE
By Paul, Maurice, and Aaron
WHAT?
Some time ago, three illustrious (notorious!) game mongers
bought armies for Critical Mass Games’ rules system: Critical Mass. Given the
wide range of games we play, we haven’t assembled or painted them, much less
play a game using CMG’s excellent-looking rules. To rectify this, we’ve decided to use the
tried and tested ‘tale of three gamers’ model, in which we progress through the
various phases of readying our forces and playing games. All of this will be in preparation for
demoing the game at Gencon 2014 in Indianapolis, IN.
Dramatis Personae:
Aaron - Protolenes
Da’ PLAN
We’ll paint a set amount (or close to) of points each month.
The month will conclude with one or more games using the forces available to
us.
This process will culminate in a scenario presented at Gencon
and an After Action Report post-Gencon.
Each month, each player will write one article detailing their
progress for the month. These articles should be posted at a rate of one per
week, with the final week being the battle report for whatever games are played
using those forces.
