That reminds me of a place in one of my stories, a farmhouse converted to an orphanage that was a half step off prime because the unseelie monster in the high-tech dungeon basement cycled through orphans trying to connect them to its vampiric network to give them superpowers, and only a handful survived.
gregory blair That actually happened in my campaign. Someone rolled on the Exasperation table from A Red & Pleasant Land while in the farmhouse and found a secret door. I decided it led to the basement, where the thing's brain was barely visible poking out of the dirt floor. They spent a long time just stabbing the shit out of it until it died - I forget the math, but I think we averaged everything out and learned it would take hours of attacking to run through its HP. There was also the scarecrow to deal with, so leaving wasn't quite THAT easy. I still think of it as one of the best games I've run.
I'll snag this later. The first one was a lot of fun. Originally shared by Android Central Publisher Paradox Interactive has released Knights of Pen & Paper 2 for Android.

Okay, Hotline Miami , killing a dude by dumping a pot full of boiling water on his face? Awesome. I still suck at this game though. I'm not twitchy enough.
It must be real nice!

ReplyDeleteThat's pretty wild Justin Stewart! I like the idea of the Exasperation table leading to something unexpected.
ReplyDeleteOh, and when I see this picture I get Don't Go Into That Barn by Tom Waits stuck in my head. :P
ReplyDeleteJustin Stewart Oh hell yeah. Could be that combined with "What's He Building In There."
ReplyDeletegregory blair I love that one! Someone did a pretty funny parody of it on Youtube called Scissors. Don't have a link handy, sorry.
ReplyDeleteIs that Andrew Wyeth's barn?
