Friday Gaming Update
Friday, we finished up (for the most part) character creation for Diaspora. Britt was the keynote speaker for a Girls and Women in Science event at the college so she wasn’t able to make it to the session.
Once we finished up with principal character creation, I then ran a little demo of how the system worked for the group. I set them up in an archeological dig on a barren, airless moon and made them fight seven-foot tall robots left over from the previous T3 inhabitants.
So far, what I’ve learned is that Diaspora combat is much deadlier than what I’ve experience in the post-apocalyptic Spirit of the Century. Not surprising, I suppose, considering that the authors kinda tell you that upfront but experiencing really brings it home.
I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the game in action.
