On Starter Sets
We have done a lot of thinking over the last few months about what kind of game Omicron Protocol is. We started our journey by standing on the shoulders of giants.

We wanted unique characters, small scale skirmish, competitive balance, and most of all a minimum of negative play experiences.

Our initial thought was pewter but we decided to weigh our options.
