I'll reserve my final judgement as only part way through, but Eye of the Dragon, Heart of Ice, Avenger and Falcon have got a bit of competition, finally!Andy Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735277481108984596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-57024324675119948622018-02-27T09:52:22.620+00:002018-02-27T09:52:22.620+00:00Thatcher's take on Brexit may not have been as...Thatcher's take on Brexit may not have been as hardline as most people assume. She was at least a pragmatist and a grown-up, two qualities in short supply among Britain's current crop of politicians:<br /><br />http://ukandeu.ac.uk/margaret-thatcher-the-critical-architect-of-european-integration/<br /><br />(Good grief, am I really saying something even faintly positive about Thatcher? The End Times must surely be upon us.)<br /><br />Anyway, although I personally am a European federalist, Can You Brexit? is not designed as anti-Brexit propaganda. The player can successfully negotiate a range of outcomes, the instructive part being to see how your choices are restricted by party politics. In other words, to win one game (negotiating the UK's future) you have to also win another (staying in power).Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-77413758373588913182018-02-26T22:57:34.534+00:002018-02-26T22:57:34.534+00:00Meanwhile, I'm eagerly awaiting March 28 so I ...Meanwhile, I'm eagerly awaiting March 28 so I can found out if I can, in fact, Brexit without breaking Britain. Since I'll be playing my PM as the sociopathic offspring of hate-sex between Donald Trump and Margaret Thatcher, that answer is probably a "No."johntfshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005496604068259398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-28666074680984761402018-02-25T10:49:47.071+00:002018-02-25T10:49:47.071+00:00It would be interesting to compare it to another g...It would be interesting to compare it to another group's write-up after playing the same scenario, but I wasn't able to find one online. I presume most referees running the scenario would play it as straight CoC, so the investigators would just get killed or go mad. We did go mad as well as becoming near-immortal, only we didn't handle that with SAN points, we just role-played it.DMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887893691053633187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141372262111342844.post-68754687224525508822018-02-24T22:29:27.229+00:002018-02-24T22:29:27.229+00:00I liked that write-up.
