Contest AAR Escape into Danger silent film
« on: 29 April 2012, 10:48:18 AM »
This is my AAR for the Strange Aeons contest, I had this idea to try to make it too look like a silent film. Another member beat me to it but I still wanted to try out the idea.

The game was a solo game, I tweaked the "Escape into Danger" scenario with added difficulty.

While the core scenario remained the same, to escape off the opposing table edge guarded by Lurkers I added a small random event with additional Lurkers appearing.

Beside the added stream of Lurkers the Threshold player also has to make sure that the drunken old guide, Nelson Bessnet, makes it out alive. He is the only one who knows the way and the local area.

Great!

Great story, and I loved the 'silent film' , very atmosheric.
Good to see the coloured photos too.
I like the use of the 'blood' splatters, it shows the trail of destruction that Threshold have left in their wake.

Looking forward to watching this tonight once I have my direct cable connection and able to watch it without it being choppy! At the hospital today with my wife with her mother after her mom broke her hip!

Looks like another great entry here!

@necrocannibal
Great minds think alike  ;)
I thought yours was really great  :)

@Styx,
Sorry to hear about the trouble, especially that it was the hip. Hopefully she'll make an unproblematic recovery.

Just played with the usual rules, kinda like when you play chess with yourself - you know the tactics of the other side but you still try to maximize your effort with each side.
