RSW

Specialty game drained4p Turn 1 was due today, but is paused until one or more abandoned positions are filled. If you aren't already in it, please adopt a position ASAP! Turn 1 is now due Monday, November 18.

The game could begin less than 3 weeks from now, if one more player joins. There will be a diverse mix of player types -- and 11 options are still available as of this morning, including the new Telempath race. If you have already signed up, please consider inviting other players to join what should...

Specialty game drained4p now has 14 players signed up -- one less than the 15 required to start the game on November 3. With an "absurdly high" number of worlds in a computer-generated map, there should be plenty of elbow room for all players, even if more join the game.

In our current game, we've discovered a couple more significant rules embedded in the RSW software that could screw up your game if you run afoul of them. Beware! First, when I signed up for symmetry5p I included a question mark at the end of my game name. Don't do that! For some reason that confuse...

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.

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

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 ...

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...

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 ...

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...

Thanks for all of your hard work, David! Through your efforts, Starweb and infinite variants will be played forever.

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.

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.
Dare ye face the Noble Swarm?

Thanks, David! Yes, please do cancel "speed2j" to avoid confusion. I'm modifying the Noble Swarm type to try again.
