Anyone online? I am up for a game.

I hope I do not seem overly simplistic, but you are using an awful lot of words to define already well understood concepts by game designers. I wrote my thesis on this topic, and my lack of in-depth...

As I mentioned in the other thread, but maybe not in plain enough terms...there is an inherent problem in mixing games and narrative.

The more game you add, the less story you get. The more story...

Narrative vs Interactivity is a classic struggle in game design. The more narrative you add, the less game you have. Its simply a fact (its far too much too explain in one post, but I have found it...

Hamelin sort of plays like Levi now, in the sense that he can pick one model a turn and destroy it (and isnt paranoid about dying). Take into account the way the Viks play and Ophelias guns and...

"Simple to learn, difficult to master."

A simple set of rules which lead to all sorts of unexpected and complex emergence - that is the holy grail of game design.

And never confuse complex with...

I suspect what is happening is that people are logging in for a short time and not seeing anyone on top play then logging off. But in the last week I have been lucky and found people online and got...

Its 8:20 Friday GMT and I am able to play a game. Anyone who is interested get online.

Awesome. Besides functionality, seeing all the rules together really helps give perspective on the changes. Taking a look at the alp for example- forget what you knew alps used to be, and I don't...

Have you thought about a way to connect the boards so they don't come apart during play? seems like that could be a problem.

We had a drop off last year, but things have picked up due to some dedicated local Henchmen. ;)

Although they never post on the forums, I would say there are probably more Atlanta players now...

The student seems to be best when you have another model that can gain fast after the viks are off and running. Having a trapper or Von Schill in the list to gain fast for the rest of the game makes...

My advice to everyone new to vassal would be to take a practice game. People say its different from the table but even I didn't get how different it is until I played. I would also suggest you play...

Played a Slaughter game last night with an interesting list:

Rail Golem
Guardian
Fire Gamin x2
Canine Remains
Rotten Belle

I put the Guardian on the Rail Golem and "heated him up" with the...

So I played one game with Hamelin so far with the new rules. Its not nearly so easy to keep Ratcatchers or Hamelin alive anymore, and movement is a tricky business, so its much easier to get into a...

For scoring I suggest using a Google doc spreadsheet, that way you can share it with everyone, and even give access to score keepers. It also has version control, so you can look back over previous...

The mere fact that you are willing to coordinate plays times is pretty awesome.

So Sayeth the Rat.

The FAQ uses the term Replaced, and though I suspect the spirit of the rule might to shift the target, in this case it clearly does not say "Summoned". I don't think it is rules lawyering in this...

Off the top of my head I cannot think of anything else, but the game is full of all sorts of interactions...

Perhaps the confusion comes in what is an isn't a legal action. As I understand it, if a model is immune to an effect you can still take an action against it that would induce that effect, the...

This is really awesome.

Just a note to anyone watching a game who has never used Vassal before - apparently viewers can interact with the actual game, such as clicking the deployment zone buttons....

The list is something like:

Molly
Grave Spirit (optional)
Canine Remains
2 R.Belles
3 Drowned

Molly can either:
1)Imbue Vigor, gives Levi +3 Movement. Belle Moves up 6" and Lures levi...

The Levi example seems pretty clear cut with the FAQ intention, which is that the spell cannot be cast/fails. This is the way I always play it, and it makes Levi more difficult to play.

However,...
