Hmm, how to start... maby with this: I'm looking if I can find players victims guinea pigs voulnteers for a "learn-the-rules" game of Starfire. What is Starfire you may think? To quote the rulebook itself: "Starfire is a gaming system that simulates both tactical combat and empire building campaigns in space". Or in simpler terms imagine computer games like Stars!, Master of Orion or Galactic Civilizations... yeah, it's kind of like that only in form of boardgame. Worth noting is that the game is:
a) slow. It's not a fast game where turns would be going each day, and fact that rules will be learned as we go will probably make it even slower
b) complicated. As in complicated-complicated. That's why I'm looking to organize a game of it - Starfire looks like a game that can be awesome when you get the hang of it, but trying to learn it by sitting down and reading through the rulebook without any practical experience alongside of it went about as good as trying to learn math by jamming math book through your ear straight to brain.
So that would be it for the intro I think. If any potential cannon fodder is willing to try it out feel free to ask more questions.
PS. If anyone run into series of books under name of Starfire by David Weber and Steve White - yes, these are related.
