GASLIGHT at Cold Wars 2001

G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. was first released at Cold Wars 2001, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. We ran four games to help promote the rules. A major success story for us was one guy who bought the rules on Friday morning and then ran a game using the rules Friday evening. He was able to easily create the attributes for the game that fit the various scratch-built robots and vehicles he had built for his group's games. This is a testament to the simplicity and flexibility of the rules. Try them and find out how easily they can be adapted to your own vision of Victorian science fiction.
