Game 01: A Night of Blood

So we played our first game this past weekend. I bungled everything, forgetting most of the rules as soon as the game started and we all did so many things wrong. LOL. Despite this, we all had a blast!!

I ran the Night of Blood adventure based on the Actual Play from RPG Quest. I modified the BBG though and it will return later in the campaign - likely when the players have forgotten about it. The Beastmen are the focus bad guys in the short term (and they fear the BBG, so stay away from the Hooded Man Coaching Inn.)

Episode 02 will be the Under the Hill Adventure (based on High Rollers AP) I think, which works out nicely since one of my players rolled Jaime De Sabatine as a contact.

I think I might retire my D&D game and move to this system. It was so fun! And the Spell Casting/Fate system are awesome!

How did combat feel? Fun? Quick?

It was fun but we had to look up every other rule in the PDF so I can't say it was quick. I feel like once you get fluent in the rules then it would move quickly. Having come from D&D though, I still compare everything to that system, but I can definitely say it was fun.

And how did your D&D players feel about it? They didn't miss all their abilities etc? I myself will switch over from 5e to either this or WFRP, so I'm really curious about your experience :)

There were only 2 players. One thought it was weird that his priest didn't have spells and the other one thought it was fun and interesting. I'm not sure either are ready to give up D&D to be honest, but they enjoyed the game.
