Outpost Gamma AAR: Discussion Thread

[BanzaiCat]

I'm looking for ten forum members to lend their names to a front page (yes, THAT Front Page^TM) multi-part AAR that I'm writing up around the 1981 Dwarfstar Games classic title, Outpost Gamma.

If interested, please sound off below. First come, first armed to face the native alien menace! :)


EDIT: UNIT ROSTER

The positions themselves don't mean there is any responsibility from those that have signed up. This is just a means to add variety and interest to the story, by these forum members lending their names to the AAR. I won't call on you to make decisions or anything.

Legionnaire Commander: MetalDog
Heavy Weaponier: SDR
Heavy Weaponier: bob48
Trooper: Staggerwing
Trooper: bayonetbrant
Trooper: mirth
Trooper: Barthheart
Trooper: bbmike
Trooper: DoctorQuest
Trooper: Gusington


EDIT 2: DISCUSSION THREAD

Thanks, all, for lending your personas to the story. I'm going to try to go lighter on the text so I'm not doing novellas for each post. That should help me time-wise and let me churn out a good number of these.

[MetalDog]

If all it requires is a fierce name and not much else, I'm your Dog!

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

If there's room for a robot that silently disapproves of the whole business, I'm in.

[bob48]

..and an elderly English chap.

[Staggerwing]

If you need someone with a permanent lost tourist expression on his face I'm in as well.

No sign of the tour bus anywhere...  ???

Names only! :)

I'm not going to call on anyone to actively participate in the AAR; I'm just borrowing your names to fill the roster slots. I'm going to use your names like call signs in the AAR, which will hopefully add interest to the read. I've done it as a first-come, first-served kind of deal, starting with the Commander slot, moving to the two Heavy Weaponiers, and finally, the seven Troopers.

I've been looking forward to this for some time. I want it to be part of an overarching series of Dwarfstar Games coverage, to not only bring attention to these old yet venerable titles, but also that they're free to print and play (well, most of 'em, anyway).

Thanks for participating!

Might as well throw me in there. You're going to find a way to include me anyway :)

[mirth]

How do I get into this chickenshit outfit?

When you're right, you're right...lol.  O:-)

By doing exactly what you just did, Trooper.  O0

[Barthheart]

You need a Canuck on the squad.  :nerd:

[bbmike]

And a Starfleet officer.  :nerd:

[BanzaiCat]

And a Starfleet officer.  :nerd:

And though we have no Starfleet applicants, we'll take you anyway!  :bd:

Red Shirt!

And already, they take bets on which one is going to be gutted like a warm-blooded fish by a rebel with a mining tool...  ::)
