Ran WiP for a local mini-convention here in the Philippines yesterday. This is the second group (7 players) that I ran for. Players had a blast playing the game and I was very impressed with how well it went as long as everyone was buying into the fiction.
Wow, seven players eh? You’re braver than I am! Glad you all had fun though, that’s awesome!
Seven for this one, six for the one before this. I wanted to do a shakedown run of the system and figured there was no better way to do it than to have random people I didn’t know make heroes for a game and run it.
I have no voice now, but I’m very happy about WiP.
I bet!
Sorry my planned event didn’t happen. I’ll have to try and set up a one-shot sometime in the next year or so.
Hey, it happens Luke. I’ve got to make some time to run stuff for people too.
Awesome! On a side note, how active is the gaming community in the Philippines?
It’s still a very niche hobby but I’ve been working with a group of fellow
hobbyists to put together mini conventions where newbies can learn how rpgs
work and play in any of 8 different games scheduled on that day.
We’re mostly based in Metro Manila, the capital. As you get further out,
the harder it is to find rpg gamers.
Jay Steven Anyong , sweet! Keep running games and word travels. I think we are a niche in every nation. (grin)
Note, I have a few convention scenarios I have written up that I can pass along for Monster of the Week, Fate Accelerated, GUMSHOE, and my Divine Blood RPG.
I wrote most of them for a friend who sets up the gaming events at Q-Con in Northern Ireland.
