July 3, 200817 yr Author comment_1551816 Re: Almost how it might go down in a DC Game I completely agree. I would like to note the elegance of the operation reminds me of something that a clever group of PCs might do in a Dark Champions game, which is why I posted this here instead of in the NGD. EDIT: What the heck? Posted another message in the NDG.

July 5, 200817 yr comment_1553158 Re: Almost how it might go down in a DC Game Rumor mill on some web sites is that the Mossad had a hand in planning. Daring and effective. A good example of how good scouting and risk taking can lead to a GREAT operation. Tip of my hat to the brave Columbians who pulled this one off.

July 14, 200817 yr comment_1558435 Re: Almost how it might go down in a DC Game i guess thats what you call IRONY It certainly wasn't intended to be. I am glad that the real world operation went off well and I hope that other such operations meet with similar success. When playing a game, however, I want things to go wrong, I want there to be unexpected challenges and I want things to not be three hours of planning followed by ten minutes of a description of how the plan went right when I'd have more foun with 10 minutes of planning followed by 3 hours of how it went wrong and how we made it work anyway.
