WE had our first meeting on how to do our Aliens game. The topics w ere:
1) The barriers
2) Giving the Marines a chance
3)Things to do in the next week.
1) The Barriers, The barriers are what block line of sight and hinder the marines shooting the heck out of the aliens were the barriers. We are playing the part of the movie where the Marines go into the cooling towers and get ambushed by the Aliens.
In the past we used empty carboard boxes covered with black refuse/garbage bags. Well it worked rather well for the number of barriers we wanted. We play in an area around 25 by 55 ft approx. Alot of boxes and alot of garbage bags. On the plus side the boxes were Cheap= Free. Garbage bags.. under 15 bucks for 50 bags. Also we re-use the garbage bags even more.
Negative side. The boxes are not sturdy, they bottom of the boxes shows from where the garbage bags are not long enough to cover them. Alot of boxes to transport.
We have decided to try to make a proto-type stand made out of PCV pipe, and draped with some cheap dark fabric.
Plus side to this is that it will look better. Might be easier to transport and have a varied look.
On the negative is cost and time to make the Stands?? Well see when we make a prototype of our stand and get the fabric.
2) The Marines are 0 and 6 that means, they have yet to make it to the end. Though that is in keeping with the movie, we do want to give them a fighting chance as slim as it might be. Some ideas are that they be given more grenades, to giving them a staircase shortcut, to making it easier for them to kill aliens. All these ideas are being mulled over by the administration. Check out our forums on these dicsussions.
3) The last thing is that we need to have a working PCV pipe stand with fabric made by the end of this week.. That means by Saturday march 8th. This is to determine how much it will cost and how viable it will be to make them in time for KublaCon
That is all for now,
