So I've been looking into Tannhauser for over 2 years now. The first thing that caught my eye about this game was the setting. I find the story behind Tannhauser to be one of the most captivating back drops to any IP in a long time. The miniatures looked to be top notch (plus, no painting... YES!!!). And of course it's being supported(?) by my favorite gaming company FFG.
So I started to do some digging. Come to find out Tannhauser has had a pretty rocky history. So I told myself, "Self, it's probably not worth getting into." Yet I still found myself stalking the Tannhauser community.
Fast forward to Gen Con 2011. I finally said screw it, I have GOT TO give this game a go. It just looks to awsome not to give a try. So I signed up for a Tannhauser Demo with 5 other players and despite getting someone who would get an F in patience when it comes to teaching; myself and the rest of the guys ended up having a pretty good time. (We lucked out that one of the players had some experience and sort of became our mentor.)
So that brings me to my question FFG...
Why no "real" multi-player???
My gaming group normally consists of 3 - 5 people. I know, I know... It says 2 - 10 players. But split between two factions? Eh...
I think this game has massive potential for a great "Multi-Player" game with all players playing different factions and I know I'm not the only one that feels this way.
So I'm begging you FFG... You now have four factions for this game, it's time for you to make it a true PVP Multi-Player experience. You would be sucking up even more of my hard earned cash and I would be completely OK with that.
