I had big plans for this Friday's Crisis game, but I don't think it's going to come together. This is what I presented originally:
-------------------------------------------------
Crisis Week 7, Floor:50% 500 pt.
Scenario: Baby Universe: Players attempt to conquer an undefined universe forming out of the Bleed. Play a crayon game, in which each player can color in five squares anywhere on the map each turn. Information on crayon games here:

-------------------------------------------------
That would be cool, and I almost had a way to make 3X3 foot maps of plain grids... but it fell through this morning. Let's save this one for later. In it's place, I propose using the scenario meant for last week.
-------------------------------------------------
Scenario: Search for Ray Palmer. Play is on a map with 12 flipped bystander tokens. Clix can rescue the tokens by ending movement on them... the bystanders are now carried as if they were friendly figures. Spend a power action to flip the token to determine which is Ray Palmer. If Ray is in a player’s starting area at the end of the game, an extra 200 VP is awarded. All other bystanders in the starting area are worth an extra 10 VPs. Bystanders that are not in a starting zone at the end of the game generate no points. Bystanders are not locked down once they are in a deployment zone, but can be captured by the other player.
-------------------------------------------------
We'll keep it at 500 points, Floor 50%. This means that the possible swing from a dedicated rescue is 310 points... but I think we've shown from our earlier games that throwing your team into the scenario is a good way to get killed. Feel free to suggest changes to the point total. I think I have enough Horrorclix Bystander tokens to supply both ongoing games.
At 500 points, we should play 1 hour 10 minute games. If we start at 6, we won't end until 9:30 at the earliest. So let's try to start as soon as possible... Uh, I guess that message goes out to Bill and myself, who's pre-game Happy Hour has been cutting things a bit close in recent weeks.

I think we should rectify this "early" thing by bringing maps to the bar and getting both our drinking and our first game done all in one sitting.
I'm sure the bartender won't mind judging the game either and I'm sure he loves having people throw dice - Vegas style.
I guess I'll just have to work late on Thursday to build up drinking time on Friday - or come in early on Friday so as to leave early...
