We just finished the second (Charlie) sector of 3:16 Carnage Amongst the Stars on Saturday, and I think this last session was a real stand-out.
Nice to see that we can have feels and breakneck action at the same time!
3:16 really helps bringing new players in quickly. Every week is a completely new planet as I’ve been running it and so every session is a discrete unit. Also character generation is super quick! At this stage we’ve had 9 players over 6 planets, with one on 5 missions, four on 3, and four on just 1.
Some highlights for me:
Ary Ramsey as MT Murken, who we discover on Whistler doesn’t really want to be a trooper at all! He just joined up to find his lost brother. The choices he has to make between the troopers under his command, his platoon and his brother are riveting.
Christine Maunsell as Cable, who’s just angry that their coveted position as best killer with the biggest gun is under threat!
David Jay as “Professor”, figuring out a technical solution to an imaginary foe, only to save the day with it at the end! Also, racking up serious kills for someone with the lowest FA
Funny moment when after closing the mission on Michelangelo, the players realised that those walking reptiles with hard-shells, red sashes tied to their limbs and ninja-like abilities were all too TMNT-like!
