It has been a crazy adventure through space following this crew. I don't really know what else to say. This should be a short recap. It was basically a giant fight.The final battle commences between Team Runestar and Verner's Forces. The battle starts out with FREEDOM turning the planet into a lava lake. The crew need to jump around or risk burning, except for Sa'La who can run through lava without being damaged.Wilfred teleports on the dragons back and tries to shoot into the dragon which results in him missing due to trying to stay on its back at the same time. The dragon tries to breath both fire and ice at Wilfred but his shield keeps him safe.DJ has made it his mission to fight with ANOTHER. Their fight is very even, both of them fighting off the other.Sa'La and Amanda fight with Verner directly. Amanda tries to use her sword, but Verner is surprisingly powerful. He unleashes an incredibly powerful blast of energy. This inflicts fear upon everyone and they flee.Sa'La is the only one not affected. She rushes at Verner and unleashes everything in her arsenal. Spell after spell rips through Verner. With one last shot, she breaks Verner and he falls down dead...The fear is broken and Lady Luck uses her power to return Amanda, DJ, and FIRA to the battlefield.FREEDOM lands and is furious that Verner has been defeated. PLANET also gets involved, creating a hige sandstorm by brushing her giant hand above the battlefield. FREEDOM uses its ice powers to freeze the sand, hitting everyone with the attack but no one is damaged by it.DJ jumps at the dragon, hitting one of its heads and breaking it. FIRA blasts through its back and Wilfred delivers the final blow through the hole created by FIRA.FREEDOM is defeated, but Verner transforms into his true form...EMPERORThe King ReignsThe true form of Verner. His power is unknown.TWIN also enters the battle, hitting Amanda and FIRA with its huge arms. Wilfred and FIRA shoot at the same time, breaking TWIN's chest and unleashes a strange energy.All the while, ANOTHER is fighting DJ. ANOTHER is questioning who he is and what he is. DJ, going off on a limb, says that ANOTHER is Elieth Runestar and he's a member of Team Runestar. This causes ANOTHER to break down, and the energy from TWIN enters ANOTHER.EMPEROR tries to fight, but he stops, seeing his allies defeated. He realizes it is hopeless for him. Sa'La asks him what he means, and EMPEROR says that they ruined his plans to save the universe. The Space Butterfly is using PLANET to consume the energy of these planets. He thought the power of the five of them could stop the creature.Sa'La and the rest agree that they need to do something. EMPEROR sees the coin and realizes something. He says that everyone needs to get into the ship. Once inside, they are greeted with a metallic woman that looks suspiciously like Lady Luck.KINGDOMLong may she reign.KINGDOM is the leader of an underground hacking group Red Faction. She is also the manipulator Lady Luck.The group puts all their energy into the ship, hoping that ramming into the Space Butterfly might destroy it.Vera grabs her booze, Wilfred sits in a corner waiting for the end, Sa'La casts her spells to try and help, Amanda pilots the ship, and DJ is excited. The ship takes off and flies straight into the Space Butterfly.Fade to white.One Year LaterThe crew have landed on a familiar space station and are being interrogated by two familiar customs officers. When Amanda tries to explain that she's a star knight, Mitch tries to tazer her. Luckily for Amanda, she's had a lot more training than Elieth and flips Mitch to the ground.Steve just drops his taser in surprise...and he still gets flipped like Mitch. She shuts them up pretty easily until Mitch tasers her from the ground.This just pisses her off and she kicks him in the chest.They're finally appeased when she shops them her badge. The crew leaves with Mitch and Steve flipping them off from behind.Vera goes to the bar with Wilfred and Sa'La. Amanda is planning on talking to the authorities with DJ. Elieth stays behind to look at the ship.Lady Luck appears and asks him, "Do you believe in luck now?"Well he doesn't fully believe in luck. But he does believe in powerful people.Credits.[video=youtube;wpSunpfXoCg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpSunpfXoCg[/video]And that was Dirty Deeds in Space. We had a lot of fun with this game. WOIN is an interesting system but we're not going to return to this game until it's fully finished. We like the system for the most part.The biggest weakness we've seen with the system is the immense lack of clarity with many of the rules. I cannot count how many times we've looked at the rules and wondered what they meant. It hampered the game, especially in the beginning. It has gotten better, but stuff like firing into melee has very vague rules at best, and absent at worst like the ammo rules.Combat was an interesting thing. It's a bit too much for me and the group. We have a different style, though I did have fun experimenting with theater of the mind. We didn't get much out of combat unfortunately.The spell system is interesting but we would have really liked a complete/updated version and it's very complex.Still, it was a blast for most of us and I think WOIN could be a great game.See you later space cowboys!</blockquote>
