FULL THRUST

Full Thrust Space Ships Begin!

Miniatures have been ordered, cleaned, glued and positioned on flight stands, and primed. The only thing to do now is to begin painting each little masterpiece. I started with the largest of the NSL - Neu Swabian League ship which is a Battle Cruiser. The NSL is a German based fleet so what better colors than some sort of dark black, yellow and red. It kind of reminds me of the WWII Germany uniform colors. I didn't want to spend a whole lot of time on each ship as I have a total of sixteen ships to paint. So with some nice dry brushing of the base color and some panel painting of the red accents, I was almost done in no time at all. Finished up with some highlights of the command windows and rear thrusters and one NSL Battle Cruiser was ready for seal coating. One down and fifteen more to go.

AGENTS OF OBLIVION

Agents of Oblivion Director's Cut.

Agents of Oblivion role-playing is increasing speed throughout TheAgencyStar and some really cool Director Aids are set to release in the near future. Trigger has been hard at work in creating some pretty awesome gaming aids for both players and directors of AoO. On the players side, there will be customizable Edge/Hindrance and Gear cards that you can cut out, sleeve in CCG sleeves to help with remembering what your Agent is capable of or has at his or her disposal. On the director’s side, there will be a "Directors Screen" that will have at least 6 panels to be used with the Savage Worlds GM screen. It looks like it will be a good year once again for espionage and Agents of Oblivion.

AGENTS OF OBLIVION

Agents of Oblivion at TheAgencyStar!

TheAgencyStar will once again dive back into Espionage Role-Playing, but this time it will be with a little twist! Insert - Agents of Oblivion, a Savage Worlds setting of espionage and things that may go bump in the night. With the quick and easy mechanics of Savage Worlds and some of the plot and mission ideas floating around TheAgencyStar, this switch was a no-brainer. I look forward to running some covert and action-packed missions once again.

FULL THURST

Full Thrust Invades TheAgencyStar!

Some of us from TheAgencyStar have opted to go to the darkness of space and explore unknown galaxies or more importantly, totally destroy that rebel fleet trying to make its way through an asteroid belt! Insert - Full Thrust, a very easy to learn and play space ship miniature system.

Using velocity and thurst, you navigate your fleet through the stars while trying to lock-on your opponent's fleet with your various laser weapons and blow them away. This is a very strategic miniature game as you can't just fly like "Buck Rogers" or you'll thurst yourself right off the game table. Easy mechanics make for a fast and fun game setting. One great point about Full Thrust is you don't have to use and specific miniatures. Any kind of space ship miniatures will work as there are space ship types and classes to assign to any miniature, or you could even create your own. Coming soon to TheAgencyStar - Full Thrust!

Our latest Board Game night was last Thursday where we played Arkham Horror. We had five players as we ventured forth into the night to try and seal the portals that were opened. It was a very fun time by all and we actually won with no one dieing. A great victory for sure. I look forward to our next Board Game Night
