[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4986096, member: 22779"] Well, the fourth session with Sufficiently Advanced has come and gone. A bit of a frustrating session for me this time to be honest, although nothing caused by my players. Some real life stuff intruding during game time. Always makes me grumpy. :) But, the game went off pretty well. We finished off the Ark scenario. They passed through the ship, met the captain and convinced him to disembark the crew/cargo and then the ship could continue on its way. A nice little fight along the way with the heavy metal viking recklessly charging a hunting party. The next scenario is based on the latest Escape Pod story, [url=http://escapepod.org/2009/10/29/ep222-infestation/]Infestation[/url] which is about nano-tech vampires. I adapted it to a cargo cult style world which is roughly 21st century technology, having survived some serious conflicts in its distant past. The party has been sent in to make first contact with this culture and discover more. They stumbled across a farmhouse with three police officers in the front yard in apparent standoff. The police mistakenly presumed the party was from the VED (which, at first, they didn't know what it meant - Vampire Eradication Department) that they had called some time earlier. The PC's investigated and discovered the high tech, nano-ware vampires. That's where the session ended, in a fight with the vampires. Made a couple of mistakes prepping this session. I needed to have a blank token for Maptools so I could make secret rolls - I let things out of the bag when I impersonated a Vampire token for a chance to spot the party before they entered - "Vampire: Roll Roll Roll" kinda spoiled the surprise. Sigh. Live and learn. So far the group seems to be really liking the system. I know that I do. Being able to prep a 3 hour session in about half an hour is such a change for me. I'm still struggling a bit with the mechanics - I buggered up the combat mechanics kinda badly this time around. Heh. Well, it'll be better once we smooth over the rough edges. Funnily enough, it appears that one of my players is planning to reskin the system to run a Discworld game using these mechanics. Definitely want to see how that goes. :) [/QUOTE]
