HappilyEverAfter: The Case of the Stolen Slipper

Features - Actual Play Reports

Here's another Actual Play write-up from Woody at FAST. This one tells the tale of Colin's HappilyEverAfter game at Archon 2010.

(As told by Ms. Muffet) 

It was just another day in HappilyEverAfter, the city that puts the “sin” in fascination.  You could survive if you knew how to play the game; the penalty for not following the rules could result in the kind of dirt nap you don’t wake up from.  I’m Ms. Muffet, owner of Twisted Web, Inc., a small detective agency that has a reputation for getting results when you don’t want the buttons involved.  I retain a few unique freelancers to keep the overhead low; they work for cash under the table and I save a fist full of dough on health insurance.  Like them, I am not without my own curious abilities that come in handy in my line of work.  Several years ago when I was just a wee lass, a radioactive spider sat beside me and bit my hand.  Too bad I deep-sixed it before I discovered I had gained wall-crawling and web-slinging powers.  (The little buggers still give me the heebie-jeebies, though.)

Features - Actual Play Reports

Even though the Hex staff is spread out from Nashville to Toledo, we do occasionally manage to get together and play games outside of conventions. This year, Joshua LH Burnette has been recording many of these games, and as he gets them edited and bumpered, we're going to post them here for your enjoyment.

That was fun thank you. The sound quality and editing were fantastic. The pace & flow was rapid & smooth, it was incredibly well produced.

Well thank you. I hadn't done any sound editing before, so this was a technical learning experience.

For the pacing and flow, though, you have to give it up to Steve. He totally ran this adventure of the top of his head and did better than most GMs could with a stackfull of notes.

Fort High: Monkey Trouble

Features - Actual Play Reports

I ran this session of Fort High: Monkey Trouble at Origins in 2007. If I’m not mistaken, it was the first successful playtest of the Weird Times at Charles Fort High setting. While I have tried to be as faithful to the actual game we played as possible, a number of details have been left out to keep the actual play report from reaching novel length and a few minor details have been changed for dramatic purposes (or because of faulty memory on my part). Many thanks to the players and my co-GM, Leighton Connor for making the game a resounding success. Thanks also to Roderick Thorp, John McTiernan, and Bruce Willis. While I'm far from the first to steal the Nothing Lasts Forever/Die Hard concept, at least I'm willing to admit it.
