I think one of my favorite things about Spine is how portable it is. Writing in the book directly feels a bit daunting at times, but it's very convenient to not need to carry an extra notebook with me!

I am reading book 3/4 of Season of Ghosts starting today

I need to paint the rest of my team, right now I only have the gunner painted and he of course died first in the game

Either way those are phenomenal pants

Lucius did survive, but got routed. In the end he was one of two surviving models. I would say he does not feel worth his cost in this edition.

It's wild how just anyone can be Alpharius

B! I love having someone near me but Not Touching or Talking

Congratulations!

THIS, AS IT TURNS OUT, WAS AN UNNECESSARY PRECAUTION AS I WAS DISCOVERED IN A MERE 6 PAGES OF WRITING

Not at all, it's all about does their art style fit my ideas, and is what I want within my budget

Depends on how sure I feel from just reading the rules! I don't think it hurts to try a game once just to see, but I think there's no reason you have to play something 3 times to decide you don't like it if you didn't have fun the first 0-2 times you tried it.

I'm the only player in the group who's played Lancer before so I spend a lot of time thinking "I've played Solstice Rain before and had my mech wrecked twice then, I think we are doing fine if we each structure once in a fight." (Once I get my Goblin it will be my turn to be afraid of taking damage)

We are still getting used to not feeling like 1-2 structures is the worst. We even had some reactor stresses thanks to all the heat this enemy gave off. I myself really thought it was going to be bad until the Everest with the Heavy Charge Blade showed up and double structured the enemy in one hit.

BUT THEN THIS BIG FUCKER COMES OUT FROM UNDERGROUND AND SHOWS US ALL A VERY BAD TIME. It was clearly experimental tech and frankly I'm surprised the pilot survived long enough for us to take it down, the thing was a walking reactor meltdown, spewing plasma everywhere. We were very afraid.

Then we get to their base for the second sortie, and suddenly there are mechs?? Ok NBD it's all grunts, it makes sense they wouldn't have very advanced mech technology or very skilled pilots on a planet that has been cut off and had never had mechs that we know of before in their history.

We were told this planet didn't even have mechs! Our first fight with the people attacking our Union ambassador were just infantry and tanks. (Fighting infantry does NOT feel great, in order to succeed in our Sitrep there was a point where I had to take a single person out with my Nexus weapons)
