Swords & Stitchery

 The crew of the Lakota ditched Mr.Hight from last session, but this is hardly the end of the meddling proto humanoid. The crew docked at Circus, Circus and mingled with the crowds to re equip. The last round with Mr.Hight had put a damper on thier ammo as the bastard had drained all of thier weaponry's energy cells. As you'll recall last game session here. The PC's got involved in a 'Quickling' Needleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867noreply@blogger.com0

 To tell the truth I've been dropping the ball on Horde Wars Basic rpg as of late. Sure we reviewed Horde Wars  here on the blog. And Horde Wars Basic is an excellent game & my only reserve about has been being able to put time aside to spend more time with it. The D12 system is very well defined & Horde Wars itself lays out the rpg rules very nicely. And one of the things I love about Horde WarsNeedleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867noreply@blogger.com0

 Let's  pick it up from last week's game. Our player's freaked at thier 'comrades' shaking and foaming at the mouth quite literally. And then the player's PC's with thier two flame throwers without heistation!! Rifles were trained on the 'scientist' that the PC's were escorting and that's when the evac order came in from our PC's employer. This session picks up with us using  HOSTILE Situation Needleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867noreply@blogger.com0

Wretched New Flesh Postcards from Avalidad is one of my favorite rpg's from the Red Room. But how does this mix with say the works of surrealist Science Fiction author J.G. Ballard?!  Good afternoon & deeply sorry for my absence. Real life and work has been taking inreasing amounts of my time lately. I wanted to take a bit of time out to speak about the Wretched New Flesh rpg from the Red Room.  Needleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867noreply@blogger.com0

 The action picks up from the last time here on the blog.The operators in last night's game were able to track the CYBER-NETTERs back to thier base. Yet the party were attacked by bandits before reaching the base! The bands had the party pinned down with arrows and small arms fire!

 When it comes to B/X Dungeons & Dragons I'm often left thinking about B/X Dungeons & Dragons. And this blog entry picks right up from here on the blog.  And the legacy of Dungeons & Dragons. Expert D&D expanded the horizons for players by several orders of magnitude from Basic. The PC options increased, the stakes became higher, the adventure possibilities climbed, and yet there seemed to be Needleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867noreply@blogger.com0

This blog entry picks up from here. The player's PC's got into a fire fight with some Green Martian hordes at the outter edges of the Tegel Manor valley.

 The older I'm getting the more I'm  beginning to understand the common sense that Eric The Cavalier in the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon had.
