The Return of A/state

Post by Morthrai »

The unlikely return of a game that I had almost totally forgotten about:

I read about the original game when visiting Contested Ground's site for Cold City/Hot War material and to contribute to their forum. For some reason I got the impression it was more of a steam punk game. The new version looks interesting, slightly 80s retro style with those towerblocks?

Now there are two great games/settings... I love Cold City and Hot War...

I know we talked about before but loved the settings, less enamoured of the game system. Used MiniSix in the end for my short Cold City campaign.

I remember seeing it when it first came about and being interested but not interested enough to really want to game it. I recall buying the main book as a PDF but I didn't give it a thorough reading because it didn't really grab me.
I'm not unhappy to see it being relaunched but I don't think I'll be in any rush to buy it (I don't think most of my gaming group would really get into it).
It's not whether you win or lose,

It's whether I win...
