Turn 1 Gameplan

[Dave Baughman]

Hi everyone!

Turn 1 of Flashpoint will be starting on February 1st, 2010. Due to a couple of last-minute revisions I am working on, the final rulebook will probably not be available until this weekend. Additionally, I know that not everyone has had a chance to build their factions yet (and considering the fast pace of this game's development, that is totally understandable!)

The plan right now is for Turn 1 to be primarily roleplay only, so we can focus on introducing characters, getting plot lines started, and give the faction leaders enough time to make sure their factions are build 100% to their satisfaction.

I will also be opening a Solaris thread where folks can team up and practice combat. I would encourage you to use the isolated bottom-level unit chart to randomly generate company/binary size forces and fight with those to familiarize with the way the equipment table influences gear selection. There will be much more on this once the revised rules are posted.

I am very fired up about this and looking forward to roleplaying with all of you once we kick things off!


PS: continue to PM/IM/Skype me if you have any rules questions or faction construction questions, I will try to get you the answers you need as fast as possible.
