So we're just under one month out from the date of the Feegle Grinder/Wee Free RPG. If you're interested, I strongly recommend you take a look at the mini website we've built for it, and especially the character sheet and rules. Of course, reading the books would be good too. :)

If you have questions (it's a fairly simple system, but there is some quirkiness to it that may trip you up if you're used to more complex RPGs), this would be an excellent place to ask them. You'll only need 6-sided dice, but you'll need 3 of one color, 5 of another color, and 8 of a third color (we have some, but if you have your own to bring, that would be great).

The grinder will be held at our house in southern KCMO, starting at 9AM or so (with instructions and final explanations of the system) on January 23rd and going until 2AM or we get tired of it, whichever comes first. If you don't have directions, we'll email them to you privately to keep the address off the full Interweb. Feel free to point people at this public post or the Facebook event if you think they'd be interested; we can probably have 5-7 players going at a time, but expect to die more than once over the course of the day if you're staying (Feegles being more or less interchangeable, this shouldn't be a big impediment). You don't have to stay all day, of course; you can come late or leave early if you've got other stuff going on.

Holy crap was that fun. Holy CRAP was that a lot of work.

A full write-up is still forthcoming (we didn't get audio/video for those playing along at home, but there are transcripts of a sort, coming as soon as we fill in the blanks where we were laughing too hard/moving too fast to write).

The highlights, though:
  • Saturday Morning Cartoons are infinitely better without the fun-squishing influence of Standards & Practices.
  • Too many episodes, especially if they're going to be that combat-heavy. Next time, maybe fewer episodes with longer time frames (an hour and a half was probably unrealistic, at least for 3.x).
  • Yes, I did say next time. But not soon; Jaysus Christo Jones that was a lot of work to put together.
  • Moral ambiguities/branching points have no real place in Saturday Morning Cartoons.
  • Six laptops + 15 people = at least a 10° temperature differential between the main room and the thermostat. I'm surprised we didn't develop any weather patterns...
  • We still have Mountain Dew left over. How is that even possible?
  • The unicorn lived, amazingly (though that may be because he scarpered on several episodes entirely).
  • Best. Death Scenes. Evar.
  • Tiamat Piñata at 1AM, in the yard, with swords. Brilliant!
Now, shower, lunch, church, and the rest of my life back.

Thanks everyone for playing along!
