... and having heaps of fun.
OK, I am exaggerating a little bit. One of my characters has 3 hps.
We are currently running a DCC Funnel so we each have 4 zero level characters (three now, in my case). And some of them even have multiple hp's.
I like simple games. I usually run E6 myself. I was expecting to enjoy it. But I am surprised how refreshing it is. Half a dozen rolls, a few of rounds and combat is over. Forget managing resources, its about surviving. And the brutality of it, the uncertainty, makes a great springboard for inter-party interaction after the combat.
Eventually the characters will be funnelled down to one, who gets a level, and some more hp's. Hopefully by then they will also have a real weapon and perhaps some armour of a sorts, or a spell. Enough to give them a fighting chance of surviving the next encounter.
I am not saying its the only way to play (the one true way?), or even superior to other ways of playing. But if you get a chance to try it, take it. Its like a bit of a perspective reset. Its also fun.
