Friday Gaming Recap, Revenge Edition

The group flees the scene of their vengeance

So, with their trusty NPC torchbearer Knobbyfoot dead at the hands of Natasha, a drow wizardess living in the second level of the Tomb of Abysthor, the group heads back to Grimfest (the campaign home base).  After some deliberation with the local clerics of Hieronymous, the group decides to plump down a whalloping 1,200 gp to have the gnomling not only raised, but reincarnated into a new, non-deformed body.

With a new high elf hireling in tow, the group heads back to level two with blood in their eyes.  After clearing a path through the manticores, a vrock, and several zombie ogres guarding her, they have their vengeance against Natasha, although not without no less than three PC's dropping to zero hit points.

Flaria, in a rather dark roleplaying moment, fulfills a vow she made when Knobbyfoot was killed when she drags Natasha's corpse back to the cave near the entrance to the Tomb of the 99 Mad Monks and leaves the remains for the bears to eat.

I'm kind of curious where the group is heading next.  At some point, they will need to wrap this thing up, I think.

RPG Review: Far Trek

So, as I mentioned recently, I've got a lot of sentimentality for Star Trek RPG's, and Star Trek in general.  Three actual honest-to-God licensed ones exist in history: FASA's, Last Unicorn Games, and Decipher's.  I own the first two and have heard mixed things about the third. But there are also a lot of non-licensed Star Trek RPG's out there, and recently I saw that one of them, Far Trek , was offering a hard copy for a couple of bucks on Lulu.  Never one to let a deal go by I picked it up and thought I'd give you, gentle readers, my thoughts. Far Trek is a light-hearted, even breezy take on the Star Trek universe, almost exclusively the original series.  There rules incorporate stats, skills, and talents.  There are four stats: Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Charisma, with the stats ranging from about a -2 to a +2, reflecting their modifier on the die roll.  I actually like this mechanic, which I first encountered in True20.  It doesn't ma

Heroes Against Darkness review

For my birthday I picked up a print copy of Heroes Against Darkness  by Justin Halliday .  Why, might you ask, would I spent hard currency on a book that is offered as a .pdf for free? First, I like real books.  I read them better, and can do so in places other than in front of a computer monitor. Second, it's worth it.  Beats me if Halliday makes any money off the sale or not, but I hope he did, because offering this game for free was a very generous gift to the gaming world. Heroes Against Darkness is worth owning. (At least if you are me.  Your mileage may vary.) Heroes Against Darkness  is, by its own admission, a "fantasy heartbreaker," which is the usually derogatory term used by someone's homegrown version of Dungeons & Dragons.  If I had to summarize HAD's genetic heritage, I'd call it an early edition of D&D done using Fourth Edition mechanics.  If that early edition had 11 character classes. HAD has the standard D&D stat layou
