We’ve certainly talked about going back and finishing NoRH. It’s such a great adventure. The Holidays might be a good chance to try some synchronous sessions. Scheduling is always so hard at that time.

Perhaps you already know about this, but here’s the link just in case: save.vs.totalpartykill.ca/grab-bag/he-...

I like getting “well loved” old RPG books. I always wonder about what fantastic adventures they have contributed to. The friendships made and solidified. Beautiful stuff you can’t get from “mint” copies.
Also less stress about spinning them up for new adventures with friends today.

Backed! 50% due to fact Grim Merchants sounds awesome, 40% due to the great gaming advice in the discussion, and 10% due to the enthusiasm of your response to Jason’s shoutout. 😂

And you can read the full story of the session I ran for Jason using the excellent module “Moonbase Blues” here:

Have you checked out HEXROLL? It generates the region with populated towns, taverns, factions, and fully keyed dungeons. I’ve often thought of using for a solo or a random pickup game.

Scheduling is the monster that will never die. I really enjoyed running Moonbase Blues. The longer adventures are excellent too, and can be broken down into one shots. Dead Planet doesn’t get talked about as much anymore but the Screaming on the Alexis portion is a perfect night of gaming.

Also the realization that I have inadequate shelf space…

Added Chapter 3: Skills and Specialities. Might be able to get another chapter up today as well.

Is it available somewhere other than through the kickstarter that I missed?

Yes! Lots or really interesting ideas that changed how I look at game mechanics.

Really great article. I tend to like the darker themes in my games as something for the players to resist or overcome, not wallow in. I’m running a T2K campaign that is very bleak, but the PCs have decided now to help *these* people. There is now purpose, hope, and clear direction for the future.
