The players are happy with this system, although I fear slightly when the guys each have a bunch of cards in their hands, it may take a little organising.This adventure seems to go down really well with the guys, they got straight in to the idea of playing the heroes- and rescuing two lost kids was something they could really relate to, they really enjoyed this part of the plot, they really wanted to be part of this story, desperate to play the heroes.I was over-joyed with the amount of role-play we got through in this session, the guys picking up info before heading to the adventure site, and then chatting with the ghost, and Helvec- and each other. It wasn’t so much the quantity, or indeed the quality- what I was so pleased to see was that all of the kids play their characters from a first person perspective. When Helvec shouted down and mocked the PCs from on high, they shouted stuff back- in character.The five guys are sold on the game, about a week after this game had been played I received e-mails asking, some of them begging, to play again. This time the guys wanted to roll up their own PCs- they also wanted to start at level one again, with their own guys.The scenario, while simple, seemed to find its ideal audience here- from a plot POV particularly; that and the memorable climax seemed to hook the players in big time, I remember whoops of joy as the last three players managed to scramble out of the collapsing tomb.An absolute delight- easy to play, and a fantastic use of a three to four hours.8.3/10</blockquote>
