Not ill advised, shaunm, just late. We have accepted the risk at this point.
I, for one, will still appreciate the outside observer. We are all pretty new to both PBF and TI3, so if we misinterpret any rules, please let us know.
I don’t mind playing a three player game, if he can’t get in for some reason.
I will wait till tomorrow for his response before starting in earnest. In the meantime, if Andrew wants to pick a race…
I have rolled our positions:
Player 1 - Blake (If he still wants to)
Player 2 - Andrew
Player 3 - Jeremy
Player 4 - Ryan
I’m painting some miniatures right now, when I finish I’ll pick one
Alright! I’ll go with the L1z1x Mindnet
Okay…players so far
Player 1 - Andrew - L1z1x Mindnet
Player 2 - Jeremy - Sol
Player 3 - Ryan - Sardakk N’orr

Select your player based on this so we are not all together on the same side of the map
First hiccup, I am laying down the home tiles on the map and also testing out what happens when I lay down others…but they remain flipped. Any ideas on how to flip them so that everyone can see?
I also noticed that once the map tiles go down, they stay there and cannot be moved. Is there a way to move them?
Played around a bit and figured it out. After placing the tile, but before changing focus, you can right click and say flip. Not sure why they don’t just go down face up…
No way to move them once they have been placed however
Thanks for that. I setup our initial homeworlds and dropped some flags but unless we can figure out how to move already dropped tiles we are going to need to construct the map randomly (without seeing a hand of tiles). If we do it this way then Andrew is first…extend the log file and then post it here in this forum for Jeremy and so on…
Maybe we can find a preset map to replicate?
Fantasy Flight published an optional Preset Galaxy rule here fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_c … Preset.pdf.
I built a 4 person map last night. It was pretty easy. I am not sure if we have 3, 4, or 5 players right now. I suggest that, since we don’t have a GM that one person assign players to positions in the galaxy and another builds the galaxy.
I looked into the map last night and with some trial and error able to make changes to the map easily enough
There are only three players now. Did you want to build the galaxy then? Submit your log file if you do. Otherwise, I will roll on the bgg for it.
To decide who places the players I will roll. Highest gets to place. I think the players should be equadistant apart from one another still though…no cramming two together. Seem fair?
So, I rolled Jeremy highest but if he makes the board then I will place. Otherwise, I will make the board and he will place. I will have to do that tonight though…
I will make the board. I will post the log tonight.
There is a standard layout for the 3 person game. Players will be equidistant.
Me and 2 super heavy attacking races… I guess I had better hope you guys attack each other
