Played Another game of Space Weirdos
Three of my friends teamed up for a three way birthday day of gaming recently. We played a number of things but the highlight for me was introducing more folks to Space Weirdos… oh, and using a lot of my terrain. I tried to get the Black Site Studios Massage Parlor finished in time for the game. I got all but the balcony details done beforehand so it is on the center of the table just lacking any handrails on the roofs.
We played a modified game with each player running one 20 point character armed with only a pistol and no armor. It was based on Fortnight in that each of us was trying to eliminate the others while grabbing loot and gear while working our way toward the center of the table. Every other turn the borders shrank, forcing players to keep moving or take damage. Early kills could be “resurrected” in Medical Vans during the first four turns. After that the vans were no longer in the play area. Loot fell where characters died but none of us moved in to grab said loot. We were too busy trying to stay in cover while dodging the poison clouds that were shrinking the battlefield.
In the end four of us had kills under our belts but I had one more than the next closest so was declared the winner.
The table set up. One can see the mostly complete Massage Parlor in the center.
My bounty Hunting character
My starting position on the walkway. Bonus that I am within moving distance of the new Massage Parlor.
The first loot crate I grabbed is in the upper right corner of the picture. It contained Heavy Armor and an Energy Rifle. Nice!
Such a nice looking battlefield
I did come to some decisions concerning the walkways though. See my Terrain Challenge for more on that.
All the different pieces really go together well. 
A prime target that chose to Dive For Cover rather than let me shoot them.
I think I need more density between the buildings and scatter. Fewer straight corridors of fire would increase life expectancy.
