Re: [RPG]: 3:16 Carnage Amongst The Stars, reviewed by JimmieBJr (4/4)

Good review. You told me quite a few things about the game I didn't know, and have got me interested. If I hadn't just spent a ton of money on other games, I probably would have ordered this by now as it 1) Has a light system that looks like manages to be fun and unique and 2) Is different from other games out there.

Couple of questions, though. I'm guessing that a typical session involves a series of relatively quick invasions on alien planets? Or is it set up so that each warzone (or planet) lasts an entire session? Or is it scalable so you can do either one?

You mentioned that a token represents a group of aliens, but that the number of aliens this token represents is actually up to the player. So, is there no difference whether a player kills a token and says "I finally managed to kill one of those Buzflarks!" or "All right! I wiped out 1,000 Buzflarks!" Also, if the number is not set ahead of time, how do you determine how many aliens the player has to kill in order to get the token?
