Let's find 8+ hours to play Arcs Blighted Reach (ABR) campaign.
Scheduling poll
Run Time: 12+ hours
The Arcs base game unfolds over 5 chapters. ABR unfolds over 3 "Acts"/games of 10 total chapters. The first campaign may take 12 hours for 3 players, more for 4. It's Twilight Imperium sized. We may not finish in the first day-long session. That's okay.
Starting after 8:30am
I'm free to start anytime after school drop off, roughly 8:30am.
More RPG, less TI
If the base game is like a tactical space game, ABR is like a competitive roleplaying game. It's in conversation with TI, but it's not TI.
Preparing
Some pre-game rules learning will help.
- Leder resources
- SU&SD review
- BGG: what to expect from your first game
- BGG: low-key campaign strategy guide
But playing the base game is the best preparation.
SU&SD recommends playing 3 games of the base game before ABR. (The rules say just 1.) If you don't have 3 under your belt, we can maybe squeeze a game or two in before the full ABR day.
Nights instead/in addition?
If a whole day doesn't work for you but you want to try ABR, let me know and we can find a few nights to string together.
