Hello!
I'll try to answe these for you - feel free to edit it all to make it easier for people to read - I still don't quite know how the 'quotes' thing works...
Chirine: Sorry I didn't get to this on the first reply! Yes, Rick and Dave were thick as any buccaneer could be. Dave provided Rick with funding for a number of projects, and was effectively a silent partner in Flying Buffalo. This worked out very well for Dave, as FB (Rick, Mike Stackpole, and Liz Danforth) were focused on RPGs and Adventure Games was really more interested in miniatures gaming. When Dave closed up AGI, I packed up all of the inventory - except the Tekumel stuff; I got that - and sent off to Rick. You can still get AGI products from him, I think.
Chirine: Yes; they'll be in the book, and I pan to have downloadable plans that one can print up as needed for use in games.
Chirine: I'd hesitate to call these 'strategy' games; they are more like chaotic messes - i.e., they're Braunsteins! They use a lot of stuff on the table - see the photos - and yes, the players do get handouts telling them who they are and what they have. I tend to do 'blind draws' on these, so that players have very little idea what they'll be playing on the table before the game. This makes things a lot wilder, and a lot more fun!
Thanks again!
yours, chirine

Havard Wrote:Pretty funny. I seem to recall some people referring to Dave as the "Cheeky Mage"?
Was Rick Loomis ever involved in any o this? If I am not mistaken Adventures in Fantasy went to his company eventally?

Quote:This is just pure gold! Any chance of getting a look at these ship plans? Will they be included in your book perhaps?
Chirine: Yes; they'll be in the book, and I pan to have downloadable plans that one can print up as needed for use in games.
Quote:This is quite interesting. For some reason I was under the impression that these were mainly strategy based events. Do participants get Braunstein style character sheets/handouts as well?

Quote:Looking forward to hearing more about this!Chirine: Ask away! Did you read the little excerpt from the book, by the way?
Thanks again!
