Halloween tomorrow night — some folks are coming over and I think I’ll run a one-shot for something or other. I’m concidering using
\n(1) Genre Division’s Ghost Stories<\/a>. Very cool game and nice easy rules to learn.<\/p>\n

Short version of the rules: Roll 2d6. Try to roll low. Let me know if you roll a 2 or 12. Compare against your skill+attribute for the attempt and tell me if you went under it or over it, and by how much. Or just tell me the roll and I’ll figure it out. If you don’t have a skill, roll anyway.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(2) Unknown Armies: should be fun just to make up a character, but that might be more work than folks want to do (though it really isn’t much). The advantage I have with Ghost Stories is that I already about 12 pregen characters to choose from.<\/p>\n

Short version of the rules: Roll percentile dice. Try to roll under your target number, but as close to it as you can. Let me know if you roll under 01’s or double anything (11’s, 22’s, 33’s, etc), whether the number makes the roll or not. If you don’t have the needed skill, roll anyway.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We’ll see. We’ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
