I've played Kevin Wilson's Doom.  Loved it and anxious to see what he has in his sleeves for Android.

Although I already have Battlestar Galactica in my list of purchases.  I might have to wait this one out...

I use to read rules religiously when they came out, but now I don't unless I'm on the fence.

I found after reading the rules and knowing exactly what you are getting kind of made the purchase and opening of the box anticlimactic.

So no I don't, especially if it's for an expansion that I know I'm going to buy anyway. Makes opening the box much more fun. I've liked Kevin's designs in the past enough to go into this blindly.

On the subject of Kevin Wilson, I think that the only game I've played of his was Descent. Can't think of any others off the top of my head (but I may just not be remembering designers correctly).

You haven't played Arkham Horror yet? There's also the upcoming FFG version of Cosmic Encounter. Both great games!

Upcoming game events:

* Game Kastle, Santa Clara, CA: Sundays

* Gamesday, Los Altos, CA

* FurtherConfusion, San Jose, CA

I've got this game in my library of games, because sight unseen I will buy this game. It had the two things that would guarantee my purchase -- Kevin Wilson and Cyberpunk. I already love this game, and all I know about it is what was in the trailer.

When are we going to get Android avatars? I'd rather have a cyberpunk character than a Cthulhu character (and I picked that over one of the A Game of Thrones images, and I am a GoT ubergeek).

I hear that.  I'm all over the idea of a decent cyberpunk game.

And I'd love to see some rules for this too.  I'm incredibly intruiged to see how it'll work.  It's on my 'watch list'.

I find that reading the rules leaves me wondering exactly how those rules could be implemented in relation to the components that are contained in the box.  FFG games especially are very card-heavy, and most of the bulk of how the game plays is contained on those cards rather than in the rulebook.

Want to use more expansion monsters in a RtL campaign?  Download my dungeon level loadout sheet.  Want more varied and interesting abilities for the heroes?  Have a look at my Craft cards!  After a more thematic Android experience?  Check out Android: The Directors Cut.  Tired of the same old plots?  Try The Directors Cut - Alternate Plots.  Want a different way to play BSG: Pegasus?  Look at Pegasus: Razor Cut.

True. However, some things can be told from the rules. For instance, it didn't take a knowledge of the cards to tell me that Battlestar Galactica had an excellent traitor mechanic that beat Shadows Over Camelot hollow. So the rules still do help to a limited extent.

Does 'inside knowledge' of that take away from opening your own copy of the game though?

Certainly doesn't in my camp.
