33. () - I played OTE for the first time. I've run it plenty but it was lovely to play a PC. As part of Virtual , @TheTweedmeister ran a massively enjoyable double length dose of weirdness. We were looking for someone's daughter in Al Amarja - it was that simple. We managed not to destroy the universe, so, result!

Since Patreon sign-ups are going live soon for Virtual Grogmeet, i thought i'd indulge in a little self promotion for my Romance of The Perilous Land game ......

@montecookgames Totally worth grabbing while you can. If I want to take a work of fiction or a TV series or whatever, Cypher System is my go-to for creating it. Here, pictured, four happy players playing at a recent
face-to-face event in

If anyone doesn't know the setting, is about exploring mysteries in 19c Sweden - this is the intro I wrote for

1. Vaesen are neither good nor evil: They have their own dreams. They always have a motive for their actions. They are dangerous and not to be trifled with!

2. Nature is dark and dangerous: No one will find you if you go missing!

Today, Thread the Third! And it's on 2, Robin D. Laws game of Hong Kong action cinema, run for an interprid group of middle-aged nerds by the one-shot master
@milnermaths

I backed Feng Shui 2 on Kickstarter at PDF level, quite possibly my first KS. I downloaded the documents, read the opening couple of pages, and filed them away to gather dust in the soon-to-be bloated by Bundle of Holding PDF cellar.

Sorry Robin.

to people who didn't know the system at all.

However, the game did also highlight the weaknesses of the system and made me re-evaluate my affection for this elderly game.

And this is really down to one single thing: cognitive load.

I'm pretty good with numbers. But by the end, even I was slightly tired of figuring out the result of 73 + 87 skill +15 flanking -30 enemy parry -10 wound penalty.

WHY I WON'T BE RUNNING AGAIN
or
I LOVED & LOST & NOW I HAVE A HEADACHE

I really enjoyed running at , with an adventure designed to lean into RM's infamous lethality and crit tables. And, in this respect, it worked well.

Three amusing deaths, sharing crit tables around the players so everyone gets a bit of buy in to the gory detail, much fun.

First of several threads I'm going to scribe this week, and I decided to start with the hardest one.

Not , or , or the joys of spending time with some excellent nerds.

This is about becoming a better me.๐Ÿงต

Morning - grey and misty outside, and feeling a bit of a post slump. I need to get some more games in my diary!

Today at

Ran for first time since the 80s despite owning it for many years. I have thoughts (for another day)

Played by the inimitable Robin D. Laws and run by the wonderful Guy Milner of burnafterrunningrpg.com. Great fun. I also have thoughts, both about the game and his GMing style (spoilers: he's good)

Tired but buzzing. And with my online game over I need to think about where my next regular fix is coming from.

I may have bought a Torg Eternity book from Fanboy 3 in Manchester.

BUT it doesn't count as a purchase because (a) it was out of gratitude for them hosting , and (b) it was ยฃ5 off. Ergo not an actual purchase.
