Another day and finally another playtest.
Spent the last few days writing and refining. New set up rules, toned down the shooting, New armour rules etc so nice to actually play the damn thing
Used a scenario I originally wrote for frostgrave it ported over nicely with just changes to the stats.
Village of the Damned...tentacles.
So leaving Whistler to recover our three remaining heroes push on into the compound looking for shopping opportunities.
As they break through the trees they find no science facility in evidence only an old crumbling village deserted and covered in a heavy unusual scent. Sector 12 is full of such isolated pockets of reality settling back into this world after the apocalypse. It's seems stable enough and they move in to check it out.
Four salvage markers generated in set up so hopefully it would be enough. Searching is now dangerous as it can attract attention. Barnes revealed the first as salvage and was about to move in when a huge tentacle burst from the ground. Yeearrgh!
Things went okay for three turns or so, managed to avoid hand to hand with the now three tentacles, shooting them pinned them in place keeping them active and so unable to spontaneously relocate.
Things didn't stay that way...Richard's smg picked up a flutter and jammed twice, Barnes grabbed two salvage markers and wasted another tentacle while Hitch went toe to toe with one that relocated right in front of him. Barnes blasted it in two with a broad side from his shotgun and Richards decided a search was in order. Wrong. Rolling max actions equals random spawning and suddenly there were four more tentacles to deal with.
One then relocated right in the middle of their group, everyone took damage, two jams, a round of combat and Hitch was down. Enough was enough Barnes and Richards, both their weapons still jammed beat a fighting retreat off the table and ended the game with the tentacles owning the table.
Rules are holding up well, fluid and challenging, didn't see anything this time that needed changing so roll on the next play test.
Leave you with some shots from the game
Cheers all
