Steampunk Hobbits

[baloonworld]

I started playing in a new game last night. It was farcical in the best possible way; I may have enjoyed charator creation more than most games I've played.

Stats are
Phisique
Alacraty
Sagasity
Affability
Je ne sais qua

I am _delighted_ by this state of affairs.

My starting inventory contained such items as
The condemantion of Socity (a sufficency)
The Ire of the Church (in abundance)
Knowledge that man should not ken (extensive)
The Abomination, an undead airship (singular)


We are on the track of some ruffians (possibly working for the Tzar) that have stolen the secret of an energy source that is better than steam!.
One of my companious has copious professional ethics and disapproves of my mode of transport.


Obviously I post this mainly as an excuse to use my Dr Frankenstin icon :)

sftu, better than steam!? What crazy world are you living in?

The game does sound awesome though (other than the steam thing, which is just too great a leap of imagination). Damn that Tzar!

I passed on your idea about inventory tables to our GM/ system author and he kind of wanted to see such a set of tables, but then we played "revenge of the B-movie"

and decided that that was a much better system for producing inventions. I may give it a go :)

That sounds an awesome game system, although I'm amazed you're not yet in a game of Dungeons and Discourse.
