Nick, this will be one of those great controversies, like the Kennedy Assassination, the Moon Landing, and Nebraska. We may never know the truth!  ;D ;D

BTW -- I sent you a box today.



Mike, I take an insane amount of pics during the games. Because I'm just shooting on the fly, during the game, at least half of my snaps are worthless due to lighting or focus or whatever.

On average, I snap about 180 pics during a scenario. Half of those are deleted because they suck, then another two-thirds are deleted because they are duplicates, and that leaves me with around 30 decent pics to use.

One danger is that you slow the game down and people stop playing so you can take photos. I try really hard to avoid this and encourage the players to keep going.

I get the feeling that you are very involved in your games so you'll just have to see what works for you. Around here, I try very hard to be a spectator... but that doesn't always work.   ;)


HAVE FUN


Pffft, you can't fool me, Nebraska's not a real place.


I joined my gun with pirate swords, and sailed the seas of cyberspace.

I'm really looking forward to try an AAR in this style.  I'd like to steal a page from Gerry Anderson and do close-ups of real hands pushing buttons etc...

Ha, ha...that is my strategy on photos while traveling! I filled up two 2GB memory cards on the last trip. Maybe I need to adopt it for the game table. Better lighting would help, of course...

Thanks for the tips!

Yup, good lighting helps.

With your big group of 6+ Pulp Alley players, you might have a tough time trying to snaps pics and run one of the leagues as well.  ;D
