SFB Conversions & SF Quotes

> I have a shed full of SFB stuff i'd like to use.

"I say we just nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

I recently had a "mildly heated" discussion with a SFBer.

His opening quote:

"I've seen a game of Full Thrust. All you guys do is move around and roll
dice. Where's the skill or tactics in that?"

Another reason to work on the conversions.

"I've seen a game of SFB. All you guys do is sit around and argue about the
rules. Where's the skill or tactics in that?"

Seriously, I don't think your friend could learn much about either game just
by "seeing" a game. like a lot of people here, I've played both games, and
there's skill and tactics required for both. I enjoy FT more than SFB, but
I'll play whichever's on offer.

What would your friend have if he'd seen a game of chess?

...isn't that a very good, if somewhat undetailed, summary of _any_
boardgame involving dice at one stage or another?
