Re: Core Systems Thresholds

G'day,

>I can't conceive of playing without core systems failure rules.  

We go one step further and can't conceive of playing without the 'strike
the colours' rule - the groans of agony/elation when an SDN throws in
the
towel after losing only a class 1 or something are magic! But probably
not
for the faint hearted ;)

You may (or may not) be interested to know that there's been the joking
mention by a couple of gamers of trying to adapt Full Thrust to the
Piquet
system - I think the guy who first brought it up suggested it be called
Erratic Thrust....

Then you'd know ALL about the fickle mistress Lady Luck - and it
wouldn't
be left up to poor sods like Indy and I to carry the curse of the 1 for
you
all, not that we begrudge our heavy load.... ;)

Cheers

Beth
