What’s everyone playing? Tell us your system and a bit about your current game, if you have one, or, if you don’t, what game you’re looking forward to playing!
I’m playing through a small sandbox Solitary Defilement (Mörk Borg) adventure, and two days in, one of my two characters has already been killed by a betentacled, exoskeleton wearing stag.
Which is all to say it’s going great, and I’m having a good time!
Indeed it is. It provides a framework for adventuring on the road, microcrawls, and dungeons, using “oracles” (tables) to add descriptions and ambiance. I’ve been playing it in a journaling fashion, though my inelegant writing tends to lead to it being more of a log than any sort of prose.
I’ve been running Worlds Without Number and Cities WIthout Number campaigns. I’m also putting the final touches to my homebrew game based on blending ACKS, WWN and classic B/X.
I haven’t read Cities yet but WWN is a terrific resource. Your homebrew sounds fascinating! I’d love to hear more about it (maybe in its own thread? 😂).
Cities is still in beta (version 0.24 currently) as the Kickstarter was so recent, but I believe it’s planned to be finished by end of the month. I’ve been GMing it since version 0.07 though, and found it very playable already from day 1 :)
When I finish my homebrew I’ll post some more about it. :)
Possibly The Black Hack. We wrapped up a Worlds Without Number game 2 weeks ago.
Black Wyrm of Brandonsford tonight. I’ve run it once before and it was a hit. Players are continuing their leveled peasants directly from a game of Lair of the Lamb. Using a hack of Knave with 3 stats and a luck mechanic. Who needs 6 stats anyway?
My home game is tomorrow. It’s a homebrew based on classic b/x. The setting is my own sort of Arthur meets Dune political scheming mashup. Last week, my party avoided an encounter with brigands by escaping across a river. Getting back across was a problem but they managed it by befriending a similarly marooned merchant and a local with access to a small boat. The brigands are now a shiny new faction called the Scarlet Sashes but commonly referred to as Red Legs.
