Re: SW players invade RSW - Welcome!
There is a Classic RSW game awaiting more players right now, so Starweb players can get into one easily. I'll invite some of my SW frenemies too, so maybe we can get the next game up to 15 players.

Re: Starweb is dead
Not dead, but close. I've been waiting over a year for my next SW game to start. http://www.rickloomispbm.com/starweb.html

need 1 player to start lizard5e Swarm game
If you're qualified for specialty games, you can start lizard5e by joining now. You'll play 3 positions, with an unlimited choice of types -- except that there can be only one Swarm, me. You can have an all-Positronix team if you like, or any combination you desire. Whatever you do, I advise you to ...

Re: new mutli-position SWARM game: lizard5e
I see that two bold souls have already volunteered to face the Swarm. They will need at least one more to stand a chance to save the web from the extra-galactic invader; and if two more staunch leaders commit to fighting for that cause by Monday, their grand alliance may even prevail against the ali...

new mutli-position SWARM game: lizard5e
Friend, enemies, neutrals, I've started lizard5e for 4 to 5 players with 3 positions each, with unlimited choice of types, but only one substantially weakened Noble Swarm -- me, of course. Please read my previous post "Variations on a Swarm" for essential background information. Since the ...

Variations on a Swarm
My late friend Mike Noble got me into my first Starweb game in 1977. A year or so later he play-tested his own galactic conquest game, Against The Fall of Night (ATFON). One of his player types was the Inter-Galactic Invader; I wanted to play it as soon as I read the rules. The Invader started at th...

Re: Cancel a pending game?
Oops! David, I just realized that I set the start date for "assumed8d" for next year, long after the expiration date. Can you change the start date to 18 Sep 2021? Thanks again for your help.

assumed8d: Noble Swarm has arrived
I've redesigned the Noble Swarm, weakening the position for better play balance. The Swarm still starts strong, necessarily, but most players should out-build it by the mid-game. Allying against the Swarm remains a good idea.

Re: Cancel a pending game?
Thanks, David! Yes, please do cancel "speed2j" to avoid confusion. I'm modifying the Noble Swarm type to try again.

Cancel a pending game?
If a pending specialty game is not attracting players, can it be cancelled? If so, how?

speed2j: Dare ye face the Noble Swarm?
Friends, enemies, & neutrals, Many of you may remember Mike Noble, who got me into my first SW game in 1977 and played for 40 years until he passed away. In the late 1970s Mike created the Extragalactic Invader for his hand-moderated game Against The Fall Of Night (ATFON). Inspired by Mike's Inv...
