luckykaaI was sure this was going to be the last one of these events I did. I get tired and exhausted and there's so much planning beforehand. Plus it keeps happening during Hallowe'en and there are other things going on then. And I still don't quite understand the system. Then I find myself desperately wanting to know what happens next. And the WitW downtimes are amazing. None of this "You do X, Y happens". Downtime returns have an actual narrative, and a full detailed story of exactly what's been happening, who's been doing stuff and what you hear.
So, did some stupid stuff that's a bit FOIP* and there are a few PCs that read this. Nevertheless, it was stupid but still seems unlikely to kill my character. Not that I want to kill Gune. I would, however, like to play a hedgehog. Ignatius Jones - famous archaeologist. Indiana Jones' extremely meek hedgehog version.
Got mauled by a mink. Poor Gune. Mrs Babbit put a bandage on his nose. Found myself in a tent with beer surrounded by stoats. Stoats are scary. And they steal hats.
Managed to suffer from complete brain failure late on day 2. This was not a good thing. But when you have a headache, and food, water, and resting in the dark for an hour or so don't work, sleep is the only option. I feel I missed some fun stuff there though. The advantage is not being absolutely miserable the next day.
Thing about WitW is it's a really tough game. You need to spend considerable resources merely surviving until the next event. Yes, it is based n Wind in the Willows. This in no way stops it from being in a post apocalyptic steampunk survivalist setting.
Afterwards I found myself desperately wanting to froth. So I gave some friends a lift to the station and spent an hour or so reminiscing about the past 3 days.
*Find Out In Play. i.e. don't ruin the plot for other players by revealing stuff that their characters don't know.
May rewrite this at some point with added coherence
