Title: 4 games of Strange Aeons - demo campaign
Post by: Anatoli on 17 November 2010, 06:56:30 PM

Played 1 learning the rules scenario and 3 scenarios forming a demo campaign at a friend’s house today - introducing him to the game and the rules since he had missed out on it last time I did a short demo during our gameday down at the club.

I wrote down short recaps of all 4 games, can be read on my blog if you're interested - ended up being a lot more text than I anticipated haha.

Games played were 2x Fight, 1 Retrieve the Artifacts and 1 Escape... into danger!

Opposition ranged from inbred hybrids, zombies, Fishmen, cultists and a High Priest with a maniac sidekick towards the end.

Professor Armitage, the main Treshold character always managed to survive, but he must be jinxed in that his followers die often  :D

Just what you want for the hero of the story.

It's a tough life for the Threshold "red shirts".  ;)

That was pointed out on TMP as well , I figure Armitage has a very poor leadership and tactical skills  lol

Sort of:

Armitage:
"You there, go check out who or what made that noise around the corner!"

Agent:
"Um…. alone? Well, OK I guess"

Agent wanders off and gets killed.

Armitage:
"My God these shoes are uncomfortable!"
