_Triplanetary_ KS (And How It Relates to OGRE)

43Supporter · 01-09-2018, 02:56 PM

Many, *MANY* moons ago, I put together _OGRE_ and _Triplanetary_ to create what I called "_OGRE In Space_" (or, for those old enough to get the reference, "_OOOOOOOOGRE In SPAAAAAAAAAACE!_"). Now that SJG is planning a _Triplanetary_ release, maybe I can tell people about this, and *NOT* have them stare blankly at me because most of them aren't old enough to remember _Triplanetary_.... :)

Starfist was kind of that, officially.

Very broadly kind of. The rules for the Starfist itself are very different from the Ogre.

Yeah, very very broadly indeed.

But sure, spring your mashup on an unsuspecting world. We quiver with antici . . .

I can whip up something for Game Storm in Portland, OR (5-8 April 2018).

As to _Star Fist_: Mine predates that, tho' not by a lot. However, I believe it's in that game where A Famous Game Designer said "if you're going to Steal, steal from the best".... ;)

Why, who could that have been, and what were they referring to? ;)

STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST by Austin Kleon is a great inspirational read in case anyone is into that sort of thing...

A set of lines from Tom Lehrer's "Lobachevsky" came first to mind.... :)
