By Black Phillip’s beard! Gen Con is sneaking up on me. I need to get 1000 Dead Babies converted to 5e.

Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
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!

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.
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.
