  9. It’s a great book Nicholas Hopkins. I read it over the weekend while I was out of town for a conference and will be playing it with my home group this Friday. I didn’t expect the physical book this soon, but was glad to see it on my porch this evening!

  13. It went REALLY well John Willson! My players (primarily Dungeon World, but we dabble in FAE and 5e) picked it up really quickly.

    Their Patron, Toff Markin, had three needs: Gather evidence to blackmail a top Ministry Official (any one will do!), “Divert” resources to his secret weapons research lab, and Humiliate and destroy Tombsud Gaspar, the leader of the Black-sleeves.

    They played two Ravens and a Swan. One of my (and my players’) favorite things is the questions you answer during creation. We got some REALLY good fiction from that! Ex: How long has it been since you last saw your lover, and why? 3 years, 4 months and 18 days. That was the day of the fire. I couldn’t save her. I couldn’t… (complete with long emotional pause and blank stare). SSOO good, especially down the road when he learns it was Tombsud Gaspar who set the fire to clear out the slums!

    The first session was spent up and down the Sine, looking for “an easy” cargo to divert to Toff’s factory in Kogan. They eventually bribed a ferry captain who piloted his boat straight to the factory. They then killed him and took back their Crowns – but they’re NOT going to tell Toff that. (I liked this because they typically play “morally good people”, and it was fun and unexpected to see them be ruthless) When they opened the cases, though, they found not raw materials but finished spagyric pistols and a letter from Haskin Martyl (one of their patron’s alias’, which two of the characters recognized as such) to Tombscud Gaspar. They may have unknowingly interfered with one of Toff’s plans! That’s where we ended it.

    It was a lot of fun, and we can’t wait for the next session!
