At Close Quarters game...

I managed to get out of the hotel room without waking up [livejournal.com profile] eleri too badly. And, at 0900, the ACQ game began. I had five players who divided into two teams (3 v. 2) and went at the ship where the legendary Golden Penguin was hidden.

The game went very well. At one point, there was a stand-off between the teams at a floor/ceiling hatch. The players really got into it, carefully planning moves and picking up the system quickly.

The Most Spectacular Death Award goes to the player who ended up catching a light anti-tank missile dead in the chest. Splat.

Heh. [livejournal.com profile] dafydd and I were wondering about that this morning....

I know you were hoping the players would have a blast, but really! ;-)

Love you.

Did the phrase "into the gooey center" get uttered at any point?

What a coinkydink--one of those players was my spouse, two of the others (including the guy who took the LAW in the chest) are in our gaming group. So I heard about the game Sunday afternoon from the players' viewpoint.

They really liked the gaming system, and enjoyed your game.
