thats kinda the point Cannon. Dave wants everyone to go through it so we all know the rules well. Things are changing alot, the whole point of the FS thing is to make sure everyone is on the same page, and we don't have situations where someone didn't fully read or understand the rules, and we get foul ups. The point I was making, was that everyone has to do it, and nobody owns a faction untill they do- so prior to that happening, the AToW game is completely open in what it can/can't do as far as contracts and missions, though it's upto Dave if the AToW campaign even has a bearing on the FGC. We can play an AToW campaign using the FGC as backdrop, without it actually influencing any of the events.
But I don't want this to turn into a discussion of what missions can or can't be done. This was just me trying to drum up some interest. If you'd like to discuss what we can do with an FGC-themed AToW game, make a thread in the AToW section, please. And while I know you have a big passion for the UIW's various goings-on, we're likely not going to touch on alot of the mercenary missions they were doing, because little of that was important stuff in the larger sense, AND, I'd want to visit every faction if possible. Especially factions that didn't get alot of face time, like the FS, the DC, and the CC.
Part of posting HERE is to see if there's sufficient interest to bother with a thread on the ATOW section, DK. For me, getting into it would involve buying a book beforehand, (I don't have the PDF's, and I won't download from Torrent sites.)
So, prior to putting money down, I want to see if there's going to be a game I want in on as a player, rather than just spectating. If I'm just spectating, then I don't feel it's fair to the players to choke THEIR section of the forums with MY opinions and suggestions for THEIR game.
So, first, let's check interest-levels, see if people will latch on to it. If there's enough interest, then, indeed, I'll skeedaddle down to Loren's Store at the Everett Mall, pay out some cashy-money, buy a book, and join in. if not...I'm getting to that point in my gaming career where I'm no longer interested in buying a book, THEN finding a game. I've a tonne of books for systems that're obselete, forgotten, or obscure to the point of never being played-many in "Mint" condition just due to never having found a group/campaign. Some of those books were for Battletech/Mechwarrior connected properties. A few I even playtested elements for.
I'm wanting to see WHO is interested, and HOW interested they are, that's best served, imho, on THIS thread.
