Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD JAN 26: What systems do you enjoy that others do not? Would you call that system a guilty pleasure or say it was just written off unfairly?

My gaming group has grown sour on the Shadowrun family of games. I still like the system and I hope that I can find others to play with so it can actually make it to the table.
Session: Eberron Campaign Setting:: Eberron / Stormreach #?? (Let's go with 22 as a guess)
Posted: Tue, 27 Jan 01:09:01
Eberron campaign continues.
Me - Yondrin
Moxxie - Mark
Roxxie - Liv
Quyan - Jack
Dar'zar - Bonnie
GM - Amanda
Yondin, having finished his infiltration joining of the local Alchemists Guild, heads back to his new apartment. As he passes the house opposite the ally (with the new window in it) the armband he wears grows warm then cod once past. When home he sticks his head out of the window he sees the hamper filled with cheese and other sundry cat-suitable foodstuffs is still there so he climbs out, closes and picks up the hamper then heads down the rope into the ally then down into the lair.
There he is met by his companions and a new face. Introductions are made, questions are asked. The cats try to annoy him, but Yondrin's in a good mood having so easily proved his worth to the other alchemists (they as good as said he could be a Master level member as soon as the next opportunity for that set of tests comes up) [He really should do the same for the Church here, being a Paladin and all; but that was forced on him so isn't his heart's home.] so it doesn't work.
While Moxxie and Quyan spend an hour or so identifying magical items, including the armband, Yondrin talks with the new person, Dar'zar, a drow, sent by a dragon. The look at the casts Yondrin took of Quyan's body and decipher one particular passage: "Steel is silver as the moon cast on a riven night" (mithril)
We go speak to the others about this. Quyan, on hearing this, says that there used to be 13 moons but are now 12. The moon was Dream Plane related. We already knew the moon god has dissapeared from the pantheon and that the monsters which will attack can infiltrate dreams.
Moxxie says that the armband protects against Quori possession, warns of possessed individuals in the area, and increased damage to creatures from the plane of knighmares. Yodrin says about the armband growing warm by the house outside so we can assume someone in there is possessed by one of these creatures, who are able to wear the body of anyone like a skin.
It is mentioned that in the mural we all wear these armbands, so we decide the time is right to go to our next location. The snowy mountain top is decided on and we start preperations.

Session: Eberron Campaign Setting:: Eberron / Stormreach #?? (Let's go with 21 as a guess)

Eberron Campaign.
My character, Yondrin, sat back while the others did stuff this week (I never have a problem with this, I'm just glad to be out at my group with friends). He had a bit of limelight whereby he decided to finally go sign up to the local Alchemist's Guild. In his haste (nat1 Diplomacy) he forgot he would have to fill out forms and give them an alchemical concoction to test so they slammed the door in his face. He went home, filled the forms out in triplicate then returned. This time (with a nat20 Diplomacy) they were immediately impresed by the equisitely perfect triplicate forms and on testing the tanglefoot bag (and finding it better than any of ones their members had ever made) immediately made him a Journeyman member (skipping apprentice) and said, "You're welcome to come to the next 'Masters Application Meeting' to go up to that level."
Qayan came out of his research and sleep mode (player had been absent past two sessions), thinking it had only been 5 minutes, but not noticing it had actually been 3 days + 5 mins (GM feat to explain passing of time). The cats are lounging, as cats do.
[New player introduction in to the group]
A drow fighter, keen to the ways of the Dragons, is mysteriously led by a "feeling" to the hidden lift door in the caverns below ground. A moment later they open and a humanoid bat flys out [absent player being used by GM to give new player access] so they enter and the lift takes them up to our underground lair. Exiting they are met by confusion and interest by the cats and Warforged. Talk ensues, it is noticed that this new figure has appeared in the magical mural in the back room so must be okay here, right? They all spend time talking about this that.

Another episode in the Eberron campaign.
The cats are out visiting various people, finding out who owns the building opposite our alleyway (turns out a businesswoman bought it a few weeks back....remarkably soon after we found our underground home). We think she is interested in our Warforged companion.
Yondrick settles into one of his two new flats, cleaning it with prestigitation. He exits through the window onto the flat roof then attaches a knotted rope to a gargoyle where the alleyway's shadows hide it. Goes down and then into the hidden apartment.
Cats meet up with him, turn into their halfling versions to discuss the businesswoman. Roxxie gets on Yondrin's nerves so he casts ghostlight to make her distracted. She forgets she is not in cat form, pounces and follow them, dashing under the table and chairs not realising their size and nutting themselves!

(Honestly, my bigger issue is with sellers calling dinged/dented games “new” or “like new.” But people are people, which is why I tend to ask about damage before buying anyway.)
Yes, and that's why I split my conditions up in my notes. Having one field available for use does not meet our needs.

I think it's also fine to refuse the game or renegotiate a price if the game isn't as described.vnemecek wrote:
