Astroid (sic) Encounter
Hey.
One of the things I'd been trying to follow--without success--has been the Russian tabletop game Astroid, which I thought was going to be imported by this year but hasn't to my knowledge. I lost what computer files I had from the game with the crash and so I went back to the host site (www.tehnolog.ru) for what files I could find.
Good news...they had all the official "data cards" for download. Bad news...they're all in Russian. And so I had to use AltaVista's unwieldy virtual keyboard to type Cyrillic into Babel Fish and get translations.
I'm lucky we have these systems. But I also think a lot of how they're supposed to work is counter-intuitive.
In the meantime, I have to translate and type up the stats for the 16 robots in the series. Here's what a couple of the pieces look like (they come unpainted):
