Default Re: Homecoming Game on PBW: Debrief

I'm interested too...

I really like Tesco's idea, about pre-generating and positioning the races.

Players entering the game roll the dice and are assigned a race.

To prevent players from revealing their partner's starting location (via e-mail cheat "I'm located in this system")... When everyone starts they WILL NOT KNOW who their partner is. With every race they meet, they will need to read the race description/history. If they share a common history, you have just found your partner.

Your partner should not have the same shipset or obvious naming convention, and probably should not have the same abilities. Rather, the partners should have COMPLIMENTARY abilities so when they find each other, they can truly work together research/pop exchange/trade.

Each team should be created in this way.

How does that sound?
