To sum it up, I have to quote this line from the <a href="https://gamefound.com/projects/chris-longhurst/see-issue-x" target="_blank">campaign page</a>: “When they bring the hero back from the grave because of their shared love of board games, you know you're working with high-grade, top-quality cape comic nonsense.” That is the heart of this RPG; go zany like you’re superhero <strong><em>Animaniacs</em></strong>. This is a solo RPG and a group RPG and, its best feature of them all, it’s encouraged to do both styles of play with the same character. In other words, do some solo adventures then teams ups so you have quite the backstory, much of it without internal consistency, but so much fun to tell.</li> </ul> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]250980[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p><a href="https://gamefound.com/projects/cobblepath-games/coffee-chaos" target="_blank"><strong>Coffee & Chaos</strong></a><strong> by </strong><a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/15788/CobblePath-Games?affiliate_id=814082" target="_blank"><strong>CobblePath Games</strong></a></p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>END DATE</strong>: 6/30/2022, 4:00:00 AM</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>SYSTEM(S)</strong>: An original system</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>PROJECT TYPE</strong>: Core rulekit</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>MOST POPULAR PLEDGE</strong>: £29 + S/H for the PDF and print versions of the game</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>CROWDFUNDING ON</strong>: <a href="https://gamefound.com/projects/cobblepath-games/coffee-chaos" target="_blank"><strong>GameFound</strong></a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN?</strong> You’re running a modern day cafe when all of your previous characters walk in for a bite, then hilarity and roleplaying ensue.

Escort a wedding party, it’s a simple hook, but as a solo adventure, it might be an interesting turn. What made me report on this campaign is the positive response its received so far; hundreds of backers are grabbing this solo <strong>TFT</strong> adventure from a third party publisher. Sure, <strong>Gaming Ballistic</strong> might better be categorized as THE third party publisher for <strong>Steve Jackson Games</strong>, but that’s because their work is professional and they have an audience.

Using a deck of cards, you’re going to craft your backstory, combining elements to tell how you got through 100 issues of continuity. Along the way, you’ll generate so many odd elements from the story prompts that you’ll never be able to reconcile all of them, and that’s the fun. To sum it up, I have to quote this line from the [URL='https://gamefound.com/projects/chris-longhurst/see-issue-x']campaign page[/URL]: “When they bring the hero back from the grave because of their shared love of board games, you know you're working with high-grade, top-quality cape comic nonsense.” That is the heart of this RPG; go zany like you’re superhero [B][I]Animaniacs[/I][/B]. This is a solo RPG and a group RPG and, its best feature of them all, it’s encouraged to do both styles of play with the same character. In other words, do some solo adventures then teams ups so you have quite the backstory, much of it without internal consistency, but so much fun to tell.

Using an original system, you either create new characters or adapt existing ones, turning their powers narrative instead of mathematical, and make with the laughs. This is for mid-campaign sessions when the players put everyone together for a night of gaming comedy. The finished product will come as a folded menu with the rules and a table talker with some situations to play through.

Escort a wedding party, it’s a simple hook, but as a solo adventure, it might be an interesting turn. What made me report on this campaign is the positive response its received so far; hundreds of backers are grabbing this solo [B]TFT[/B] adventure from a third party publisher. Sure, [B]Gaming Ballistic[/B] might better be categorized as THE third party publisher for [B]Steve Jackson Games[/B], but that’s because their work is professional and they have an audience.
