Gameholecon results

  1. Pathfinder 1
    • Scenarios failed. Only one appeared for ironfang keep, none of the registered people appeared for, "We be goblins."
    • Was able to play a game instead with a visually-impaired GM which was pretty interesting to see how he operated using braille documents and braille dice.
  2. Galactic Infamy
    • Love this game. Let's hope more people hear about this game.
    • Need to focus on educating my character. first
    • Thought first one is free would work for equipment cards, no, it was just action/boost cards.
    • I was attacked initially, so was trying basically to survive and thus fell behind the progression curve.
  3. Fate of the Norns: Ragnarok
    • Love this game
  4. Teens in Space
    • Should we have better distribution of characters
    • Add cool artwork for characters
    • Share the character relationships beforehand.
    • Fix the character equipment for the scenario at hand.
  5. Star Fleet Battles
    • Need to better tune the dragon console option if we're going to use
    • Labs seemed to be more powerful than expected - need a scaling factor
  6. Traveller An expert was on hand, which helped, but I could have done this petter.
    • Focus more on fitting pcs to the adventure. Examples in the Traveller Companion, which I received after building the characters. Next time I would start there.
    • Should have added # of parsecs to hyperspace roll
    • Focus more on cool Traveller handouts
    • Combat handouts for Travellers
    • Starship combat handouts for Travellers
    • Fully list out npcs and stats, I pulled some previously published ones but the weapons were separate.
    • Would have the government on Sam's World attack the adventurers to "perma-seal" the archaic technology.
    • Had my script, but it felt the details actually light for some of the questions/hard to find while playing.
    • Need more practice - is this the first time I've run Mongoose Traveller, I think so! OK for first time, people seemed to enjoy it.
    • People seemed frustrated when the archaic devices split the party. Try to avoid that mechanic in the future.
  7. Those Dark Places
    • Players liked the idea of horror without necessarily making another aliens.
  8. Star Wars: Edge of the Empire
    • Benjamin really knew the scenario at hand
    • Dice were challenging initially, but he provided a good document describing how to handle them.
    • If I run star wars, I would probably try to use action fleet toys but not sure that the on table view is any better than the imagination can create.
  9. Overall
    • Don't procrastinate pulling minis together at the last minute.
    • Was really good about getting what needed to the game, but forgot napkins/windex for sfb plastic sheets.
    • Took the right amount of games versus breaks and sleep.
    • The Pancho's Tacos truck was very delicious.
