Well unless he just quits the game and leaves everyone elser hanging...

Oh you mean like you did when we were going to play RoR?

At least we hadn't started the game...

Ahh.  You must have played with Jaron before.

Or shall I say, Pirate Ravanau?

[Jaron]

I took my turn!

For the record, it's being reprinted in the very near future (supposed to be on my doorstep some time in October) and I plan on attempting to GM it. 

[Jaron]

I assume you'll be saving me a spot. Rome isn't Rome without Jaron i it.

Mammals winning out was hardly the upset of the eon, what with the asteroid hitting the earth it was more like the favored team getting gunned down by terrorist while up 100-0 with a minute left in the game.

EXCEL!

Damn, that's embarassing. I couldn't place that image until I had scrolled down and read Tim's post.

I'm trying to get my head round the rules of this game. Looks interesting (and judging by the notes at the end of the rules, the designer so has an agenda.)

Frankly, catastrophes every once in a while are more like features, not bugs. So in fact us, mammals were the winning team because we had a construct which allowed us to survive what the dinos could not.

The 4 starting species. I will start with cynodont because I think they have a hard time (the other 3 are much more balanced between each other):



their only hope is being the only race which can be both a herbivore and a carnivore at the same time (at one area they eat herbs, in the other they hunt / eat eggs)

The species most capable to turn into a carnivore (from the starting species) is the pseudosuchian:



And there is the über-reptile rhynchosaur:



and the best starting herbivore (has most teeth which is one of the deciding factors when competing for a space on a biomass), the dicynodont:



Of course, new species can enter play through them being drawn from the events pool. What is more likely, however, is that you get DNAs for your species and modify them that way. (size can be modifed gradually, but "free of charge" during the game).

Status report?

ANY QUESTIONS?!!!
