Seriously though, I wish I could do Gen Con. I actually checked out the flight cost though, and hooooo-weeeeee.
I'm about to start running TBH, myself, after I get done hacking it, myself. The fun thing about looking at such a compact form of D&D is that certain things stand right out. Like, "Speak with Monsters 6th level, while Plague, and Raise Dead are 5th?" Whoa.
I want PCs speaking with monsters ASAP, really. How did a friend put it?
"By the time you're casting 6th level spells, you've killed so many monsters that all you'll have to chat about is genocide. It should really be called Apologize to Monster."
Anyway, I wish you well, and wish I could join you.
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.
Will you be running it there?
ReplyDeleteOff books for the guys I'm going with. However, time permitting, I was thinking about running it with The Black Hack for anyone that wanted to play.
ReplyDeleteIf I can make the time, count me in.
ReplyDeleteSoooo goood.
ReplyDeleteRan it for 3.5. Converted on the fly.
Me too. I'm sure I could convert to 5e on the fly too. I'll probably sit down to write the stat blocks and say...hmmm...yeah...fuck it.
ReplyDeleteAlways wanted to try out Black Hack, never had the chance yet.
ReplyDeleteI for one, am shocked that 5e does not have default rules for dire geese and child sacrifice.
ReplyDeleteShameful oversight.
ReplyDeleteHere's your chance!

Paging Brett B because, dead babies.
ReplyDeleteSo, is One Thousand Dead Babies in print, or only PDF?
ReplyDeleteIt is not currently available in print. Some print copies are still floating about. Also you can just print the PDF.
ReplyDeleteSure, but then I don't have an actual, factual book that was professionally printed, and says One Thousand Dead Babies on the cover ; )
ReplyDelete"What the, how the, who the f-ck?", says a neighbor who's over to borrow a cup of sugar.
Thanks though!
That's probably what I shall do given the way market dynamics affect scarce things.
