I Have No Game, and I Must Blog

A game I recommend to you based on other people’s recommendations

3:16: Carnage Amongst the Stars, a fast and dark space marines game. Robin Laws says:

This is Starship Troopers moral territory, and we’re not talking Heinlein troopers, we’re talking Verhoeven. If anything, the setting out-Verhoevens Verhoeven. Here the humans are the insane, unquestioningly hostile invading race, and you are the humans.

Ken Hite likes it, too.

Though the title nominally refers to the 3:16th Expeditionary Force, of which your characters are members, it strikes me as perhaps a touch ironic.
