The mission generator seems very cool indeed.<br /><br />PS: bookmarking your blog ;)Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14075660505682500799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054986497992526061.post-54541239110217130702017-08-11T09:13:11.629-07:002017-08-11T09:13:11.629-07:00WELCOME, Yslaire!

I used it for single figure activity in the Rumble in the Jungle scenario. However, I am starting to question if there is something interesting I can bring to Sci-fi single-mini skirmish?

Potentially an excellent sandbox game with unlimited replayability but it gets bogged down by what I would call the "Infinity syndrome" : special rules galore, modifiers galore, D20 granularity. It's like if Andrea Sfiligoi, which is usually a smart game designer (SOBH is an awesome simple game) had decided to import the "depth" and D20 system of Infinity in is own system, thus bogging it down instead of offering a true generic Infinity-like alternative that would be lighter than Corvus Belli's system.Yslairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07996747349887235564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054986497992526061.post-40203647938790283452017-02-17T12:56:03.428-08:002017-02-17T12:56:03.428-08:00I think that the book is worth picking up for the ...I think that the book is worth picking up for the mission generation; but I agree with your dislike of the character creation system.
