A full turn takes about an hour of real time. Apocalypse timinf the turns is a real thing - you have to be fast about your actions. Usually other players help you move minis and stuffOgreBattle wrote:How long did it take to move, roll attack/defense, remove casualties for that green tide? I've only played in 1500ish at most

Resolving a turn with the Green Tide was actually fairly fast because the player knew his shit. The biggest hold up in that game was the Eldar player who wasn't good at it and then wanted to take his shit and leave after the second turn (which yeah, took about an hour and a half each). That kinda ended the game, which made the other 7 players (and me, as the referee/event runner) very sad.
I heard some amazing things about the final release of this... dumpster fire. Like "CGL couldn't even manage to turn in the final pdf without fucking it up" kind of amazing. I can't be arsed to pirate or god forbid buy anything related to SR anymore, so anyone else know more? What I heard is it has missing parts and shit liek that, but I would not be surprised if that WAS the final product. real professional stuff.

Without evidence to the contrary, from experience alone, i believe most bad things said and written about CGL.
The SR5 fuckup with the pre release teaser pdf files where people found pages worth of stuff needing to be errataed AFTER having sent that to the printers . .

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.
Shit was supposed to be out two weeks ago, for one thing. It just got quietly pulled from prerelease storefronts and CGL went radio silent outside of a meaningless charsheet.Rawbeard wrote:I heard some amazing things about the final release of this... dumpster fire.

Fiasco is a good narrative game, though. Anarchy is a kind of shitty paring down of SR4 rules unhappily married to a kind of shitty narrative game.
