A friend and I are working on a Nisei pack. I think a Gurhka pack would also be cool. BD

Folks, I have volunteered myself to play Dennis Hess in the Singling CG. Nascent guilt was part of the motivation, my dice beat him up pretty handily when we played Cold Crocodiles. My inability to say 'No' also played a part. Dennis was looking for an opponent and I found out and... there we...

Find an opponent who is as willing to teach as he is to win. That same person should also be of the sort who doesn't mind correcting (to your advantage) mistakes you might make in terms of calculating modifiers and TEM and so forth. BD

ISTR that somewhere in the rules it says that you in fact have to. Then again, even if it doesn't it's still good etiquette. BD

We are I suppose to be playing the campaign. I don't know if that's the MMP scenario. Better minds than mine will be able to answer that question. BD

It was nothing, really. BD

A friend and I like to write song parodies to ASL themes. Today on FB said friend reminded me that I had written one for Singling, to the tune of 'Wild Thing'. So, because no one asked for it: SINGLING Singling Gotta take buildings At least it's not raining Or wet I said, Singling...

An opponent did that to me once, purely because he was temporarily lost in the moment. I admit that a couple of times I have had to restrain myself as I asked 'what's under that question mark?'. BD

Yeah. Read up on both last night. Interestingly, I've done more GD than I have used tanks with Gyros. Oughta be interesting. Learning experience for both of us, I think. BD

Same here, at least as far as setting up goes. I supply coffee and/or beer, as appropriate. I tend to think of game day as a social gathering. We could be watching a movie or a baseball game or whatever, we just happen to be playing ASL instead. Food is usually up to the individual, however. BD

Bumping again. I am apparently going to be the Amis in this one. BD

Nothing specific, mostly in-game stuff such as has been referred to already. I allow eating at the gaming table, as do my opponents, but I hope we all have the common courtesy to wash our hands before resuming play. I don't want to be responsible for getting grease (or anything else) on my...

Beyond the commonplace notions of good sportsmanship, etc. what are considered to be items of good ASL etiquette? I ask because of something that struck me while watching the ASL In Real Time videos, regarding the tracing of LOS. BD

Not a superstition per se, but something I like to do is name my SMC when playing VASL. I also like to give the names a theme. Started a VASL game with a friend, named my SMC Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Mitchell, and Dean. Generated a hero, named him Cox. I avoid taking Prisoners unless I absolutely...
