I use my Broadsword. Let's play HeroQuest!

I think the orc is was at Q10, so we're good for now. I think we can go ahead to the next Mogri-turn in the same positions we're in now; that way both you and I can take cracks at whoever steps up (the other orc).

OK whatever. Orcman #2 steps up to the plate to take another bite out of Frupladlusfidrotus.

It is Guts's turn to bravely default.

Hold up Mogri, can Roku cast "Pass Through Rock" on me and then back up one square? I'm going to try and move behind him to give a place for Dwarfman to retreat back to.

He can, although you're not guaranteed to get the movement roll necessary to pull that off. Dwarf is guaranteed to be able to retreat behind you if it comes to that.

Shall I prepare the magics?

Nah, let's just continue with Dwarf and Elf. Maybe if either kills this Orc tho we should look into doing some rearranging.

I certainly have ways to rearrange for when the Chaos Warrior advances.

Loki, please insert the pointy end of your axe into the orc.

Abandoned

(punchline: it's still Loki's turn)

Shouldn't you perhaps, y'know, use one of those reserve players you've got in the second post to replace him, then?

Probably better than a dead game!

also this looks really interesting

I loved this game growing up. Sadly, my dad didn't quite understand the role of a GM...

There's nothing sadder than an abandoned dungeon.

That's how the monsters get in.

Here's a contingency attack for if it gets to my turn.

1 hit.

Orc hobos, their worldly possessions wrapped in handkerchiefs hanging from 10' poles over their shoulders. You see them sometimes, at train stations and bus stops, with crude cardboard signs painted in the blood of the enemies advertising things like "Will crush followers of the sun gods for food" and "Veteran of the Last War, wife and 2d4 young back in lair."

If you guy's don't step it up soon, the 25th Anniversary Edition's going to be out before you finish this game.

Oh yeah, there's a 25th Anniversary Edition coming.

Dude, please, PLEASE post the link if the Kickstarter campaign goes up.

Well, it went up, and here's the link for what it's worth, but, well, things don't look good. It collected a ridiculous amount of pledge money in the short time it was up, so hopefully they can work something out, since the demand is clearly there, but I already thought that the rights sounded sketchy when I read the Kickstarter page (something to the effect of "We have the rights in Spain, but don't worry about global distribution, it's fine?"), so I'm not optimistic. It feels very much like they were hoping to get away with something without the right(/wrong) people noticing and got caught red-handed.

Thread spike in the hopes that this will be able to continue.

I'm still game to play, if Mogri is still game to run it (and maybe we should replace Loki).

I'm happy to at least finish out this map, and we'll see where we go from there. If Büge wants to step up to the plate, we can get back on track.

Sure! Who can I fill in for?

You are Frupladlustrofus* the Dwarf, and it's your turn.

The team strategy was going to be "bottleneck the door." I believe you are the healthiest team member at the moment.

*not bad for going from memory!

AND MY AXE short sword

Did I hit something? How are the dice laid out?

3 hits, 2 hero shield, and 1 monster shield. We've customarily been rolling defense dice with the attack dice, which works out looking like 2d6.hits(4);2d6.hits(6) in this case.

You rolled one hit, so go ahead and roll the orc's defense with 2d6.hits(6).

Turns out this is actually no hits.

Oops.

No, that is one hit. The first number is the 2d6.hits(4), and the second is 2d6.hits(6). In other words, one hit, no shields.

Oh, cool. Guess I'm rusty at this. Looks like orcs have 1 body point, so this thing is dead no matter what Frustradopolis does, right?

Yeah. I'm not sure it matters, then, so go ahead and discuss your strategy for the rest of the round. If you're not moving, then I'll bring out the bigger fella.
