Some time ago I was working on the 80s hack. It is still on the works but our group wanted to return to 40s for now. This is the same hack with reskinning to 40s as well as some additional material. We are playing tomorrow for the first time so some blogging will be done for this in not-too-distant-future.

And now for something completely different! Dice pools, chips AND skills. I know. It’s almost like breaking something that isn’t broken for the heck of it. But since it’s something our group seems to love, I’m going with it.

(I might add that the core of the system was developed way back in the day and I’ve been updating it every know and then when I find something that suits my needs. The AWengine has refined my wording and made the GMing part a lot more enjoyable.)

So I will be running a session of The Regiment 2.5 a week from now. It’ll be frontier contact with aliens along the lines of XCOM. Any hints, ideas, tips and comments?

Sooooo a friend of mine is going to run a one shot of duck burg land (the spelling of the name is much more important in Finnish but I won’t go into that). In essence it will be a mayhem in Duckburg with all your favorite characters. I get to  play Aku Duck (Donald) and there will be blood.

We are considering using the AW playbooks with a simple reskin as this will happen during next week’s weekend. 

Here is what I thought of (c&c would be appreciated!):

Donald Duck = Battle Babe (or Wrangler/Chopper if he is allowed to bring his nephews along)

Goofy = Wolf (mainly because “Warning: you will be considered a threat and a nuisance by everybody else”)

Chief O’Hara = Shieldbearer 

Pluto = the Dog (naturally, this could also work as the playbook for Goofy)

Scrooge MacDuck = Coot (if thinking his gold rush times, otherwise Hard Holder)

Mickey Mouse = Hocus (just because)

Gyro Gearloose = Savvy Head

And yes. I will totally blog about this later on.

I’m leading my group into a “house of thousand corpses meets Texas chainsaw massacre”-kind of situation. Any custom moves you would like to share?
