![]() There’s also a brief description of the inn which is, appropriately, kept short in a non-keyed description. I really appreciate that sort of thing to get me kickstarted in a direction that I can run with at the table. This is almost like a designers notes section, or an outcomes section for follow-ups to the adventure. It’s supplemented by a bunch of words that describe various things the party could do, generally who they help/what they do, and how the NPC’s react to that and it changes the situation. It is the core of the adventure and it’s just about all you need to run the thing. The timeline of events is handled on a couple of pages. After Cocaine it switch to a bunch of shit before I figured out it wasn’t on shuffle. Around 2am an army search party shows up, looking for a deserter who burned down a town. Some mercenaries show up to stay in the inn … who are actually advance spies for the army. The family go and hide in the basement and the party is urged to not know anything. The innkeeper comes riding up (he was gone) and says there’s an army coming. That don’t matter though, you just need a human warzone for it to work. This being Lamentations, it’s set in the Catholic & Protestant wars in Bohemia. And before you fucks freak out, I AM a new wave boy, but I know this from Hexstatic Cocaine samples. As the Tom Tom Club would say, Fun, natural fun. If I wanted to play some indie game exploration of death or a crumbling relationship then I’d go watch On the Beach again and get my misery that way. They found the game emotionally unfulfilling. I played in a Mountain Witch game once in which some famous RPG dude was also in. Do you like adventures with orc babies? IE: do you like moral quandaries that can split the party. Let’s cover the orc baby situation first. Then again, if our room occupants could do that then they wouldn’t be there, would they? I digress. Content to watch their life burn down around them rather than reframe. (Again, Hexstatic Cocaine sample.) Have you ever wondered why those three fucks in No Exit don’t just bend a fucking little in order to make eternity more tolerable? I’ve known two people in my life who were intractable and they both, to varying degrees, were self-destructive because of it. I saw the “Hell is other people” tagline and, sucker that I am, bit immediately. I’ve been on a Lamentations hiatus, burned too many times by Raggi. It’s pretty well organized, if longer than need be. It is, essentially, an orc baby adventure. The party may involve themselves in The Troubles. This 32 page adventure is an outline of a situation that is going to go down in an inn. My goal is $152,000, at which point I can pay off my mortgage. So, when you seek an inn to stay for the night, why are you so surprised to find the war has arrived ahead of you? Perhaps it even took you, conscripted by a King or an Emperor or a Pope you have never met. Can you imagine it? A war so total, everywhere you have ever known and everywhere you might know is touched by it. The year is 1632 and the wars of religion engulf Europe. ![]()
