The work you put into setup helped make the game so impressive. <br /><br />I think one of the most telling points for me was that as people were playing Rick Priestley and Nigel Stillman wandered in but were largely ignored because of how engrossed we all were in the game itself.James Hollowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037978157160974070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857782535346921526.post-85008426021715388342015-08-04T00:34:23.895-07:002015-08-04T00:34:23.895-07:00Just wanted to echo JB's comments - things lik...Just wanted to echo JB's comments - things like the Nuka-Cola caps and how fantastic the table looked really set the tone for the game. We seemed a particularly cheerful bunch anyway, but I think you can generally be confident in getting an enthused and sporting player at BOYL given the great atmosphere of the event.<br /><br />It was also a great showcase for a GM'd game, having your own objectives which are unknown to the other players makes it a totally different experience from your standard wargame. I was really impressed how well you'd tailored the difficulty of the objective to the tech level of each force (I can say that now that the BoS knight with the Gatling laser is no longer in my path! :) ). Having it work so well as it did on the day for 6 different factions needs a bit of luck as well, but you earn that luck.<br /><br />My blog is over here by the way, if you want to link my name above (Grumdril) - http://herebexp.blogspot.co.uk/<br /><br />Thanks again for all your work, it really made our Saturday.<br />Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418419344167634103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857782535346921526.post-25479952519683255552015-08-04T00:11:11.608-07:002015-08-04T00:11:11.608-07:00Thanks JB!

I'm glad you liked the little extra bits like the caps, I think that they worked well! <br /><br />Again I couldn't have done any of it without you guys so my thanks go out to all of you!<br /><br />As an aside I got home and downloaded that sound track on your recommendation.... I am now listening to it whilst painting a load more Enclave troops!

Your attention to details like those nuka caps, the mentat box or even the posters on the wall were just part of what made that one work so well. You put the capital letters in GMing.<br />I've had an absolute blast and loads of fun with everyone and frankly this completely felt like playing the videogame. I could almost hear the Mark Morgan soundtrack.<br />Massive thanks to you and all those who took part !Asslessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475252828835332056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857782535346921526.post-14925198962064509692015-08-03T16:32:03.924-07:002015-08-03T16:32:03.924-07:00Cheers mate!
