Marketing must have hit the right place as well. When I saw Facebook friends that haven't gamed since the 90's excited I wondered how they even knew a new edition was coming out.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
I'm not sure they'll get me, but I can appreciate what they've done with the system. It's a huge improvement over the last two versions.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine so. The game has a lot of roots in AD&D2E from my reading so far.
