[Tales of the Solar Patrol] Countdown to blastoff!

Stormcrow · 03-09-2010, 02:21 PM

One of the players in my game of Tales of the Solar Patrol suggested that the atmosphere of the game would be improved if we played out the countdown to launch when their ship blasts off. This seems like a good idea to me, but I am uncertain how to do it in a meaningful way. It also seems like a familiar idea, as if I have read about it somewhere before.

Can anybody here make any suggestions on how to integrate a countdown into the rules for spaceships? Ideally each player would have some job to perform in order to announce, "Check!"
