Buzz on Aces and Eights?
- Thread starter theemrys

I can't decide. The buzz got me interested. But so far my new GMG (thanks, Kenzer!) has me thinking that Kenzer's gaming style & mine diverge significantly, despite both enjoying the old school.
On the other hand, I'm intrigued at the claim that they've made it easy to take just as much complexity from it as you want without having to absorb the whole thing & filter it down yourself. & I still have to make good on my promise to read the GMG & give it a fair shot.

Supremely cool, but a bit TOO crunchy-looking for my tastes. Fifteen years ago, I'd have eaten that up - but not so much, now, even though it looks great. I have a feeling I'd get about the same use out of either "Savaged" Deadlands or Sidewinder or Grim Tales.
It is true that that shot clock keeps drawing my attention, though...

Seems kinda gimmicky to me. I don't see that it adds anything that hit locations don't.

Metagame much?
There've been other games that have done the same thing, more or less. Name your target, miss by X much, and the hit location drifts outward, etc. The graphical nature is neat, I'll admit. I just foresee a lot of arguments over exactly how much of my arm is behind cover, etc.
