Nolgroth Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtelson Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Re: Almost how it might go down in a DC Game It's funny, I always hope that real world operations go off without a hitch but I'm always disappointed when in game ones do, it always feels anti-climactic.

Barton Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 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.

jtelson Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 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.
