Why are these all cropped like this?

In regards to unmasking the Breen and removing the mystery, I think back to the words of Spock: “After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting.”

I can’t think of any time I enjoyed weapon degradation systems. I’ve been able to tolerate some, but usually because the degradation happens so slowly that the system is basically moot.

My problem is how blatantly the hand of game designer feels in these systems. “No, you can’t just be powerful all the time!” the system says by forcing a resource sink into the game in a very annoying and disruptive way. These systems often encourage obsessive searching of common enemies if the weapons are repaired by combining them with enemy weapons.

There are easier resource sinks in the way of ammo or consumables. Even for melee weapons, in scifi they can still need power packs or in fantasy some whatever magical gem blah blah that acts as ammo. If a weapon is so common like a wooden club that it seems illogical to need some kind of magic ammo, then I posit that shouldn’t have degradation. What is the point of a club that breaks after five hits if those wooden clubs are laying around everywhere? It’s just annoying business to pick them up.

Would you say the lack of the hole is not very interesting?

I used to be able to guess Simpsons episodes, but then they changed what the episodes were. Now playing ‘Guess The Episode’ seems weird and scary to me, and it’ll happen to you!

I’ve played a few games of 2e to try it out. It is a colorful, but awkward system. The kind of thing you’d have to play with a good natured friend. The rules are too vague and requiring mutual agreement to be any kind of tournament mindset competitive.

The small nature of the armies involved in a 2e force makes it appealing to me. I have a number of classic marines and some scratch made vehicles, which over time were supplemented by some plastic kits. I don’t have anything truly amazing like that old style Land Raider, which is simply an amazing design.

I’ll see what I can do.
