I'm starting up an AAR as well. I'm finishing up the backstory today and hopefully getting the game going by the end of today.

I am going to try an AAR.  I'm already experienced a bit with Civ V, Eu3 and so, but doing one here sounds very different.

I'll begin playing today.

I have also been inspired to try my hand at this.  Don't feel ready for the responsibility (privilege?) of my own sub-forum though, so is it okay if I just post it in a new thread under the root? To make things simpler I will probably just post a link to a word document, since that is what busy I'm writing it in.  It's upwards of 5k words already  ;D

In this forum is good. :)

May I have a sub-forum, Erik? I am afraid I've been inspired and am fancying myself a writer all of a sudden!

Thanks,
Dan

Since this seems to be the thread to request it in, I'd like a sub-forum for some fiction. I've been meaning to try a couple of campaign ideas for months now, but I've been procrastinating for no good reason. Maybe seeing my name every time I scroll down the forums'll give me some encouragement, heh.

Odd request: I'd like a subforum to post stuff, but rather than getting titled 'Sublight's fiction' I'd like it to be titled 'Multiplayer fiction' or some such.

I'd like to write up/compile fiction from multiple perspectives based on a multiplayer Aurora4x game I'm starting up. Since I have doubt I'll ever type up my solo-campaigns, I thought I'd offer to have the subforum act as a repository for anyone doing fiction on multiplayer games where players looking for a multiplayer game write up could easily find them.

Edit: If that's a problem I'll be happy with a genericly titled subform.

Now that I have a few games under my belt, I've been thinking about doing some AARs.   For my next actual game (right now I'm trying the BSG Challenge that I just found, heh) I plan on going full out Empire themed.   I actually have a bit of backstory ready from another project of mine, and none of the Imperial themed stories here quite fit into how I do it.

A place to put them would be rather nice.

Mind giving me a subforum for my stories? Working on a rather creative scenario with fancy backline.  The quick backline is before the Precursors died from the Invaders, they built a cloaked facility underground, that had a computer with all their technological data, and a factory that produced robots that had free will, other than their purpose; prepare the galaxy for the eventual return of a large Precursor fleet that moved to another galaxy to conquer it.  It has a good 35 years already written, but they kind of had a bit of a "gimped" start, with 20 CI, 5 maintenance facilities, a 1000 ton shipyard, a single research lab, and ten million starting population.  And on a slight side note, for writing stories, I usually make a mediumish detailed "timeline" of sorts, that includes MAJOR events, such as political reforms and other fluff that is relevant, and battles.  Later on, I add more 1st person events that may or may not have been told in the timeline, but with alot more detail.

Any chance of getting a section for my games? Got a good, gritty game going right now with an Earth-based military dictatorship trying to deal with Wraiths (i. e.  Precursors), while vastly outclassed in tech.  I decided for a challenge to make gauss cannon-armed fighters one of my primary weapons.  They don't fare so well against Precursor AMM and gauss cannon platforms.   :o

I've been keeping copious notes in-game and using some 3rd party apps to generate some nice maps and such of key systems. 

All you need to do is ask ;)
