RPGaDay 2019
There may have been a few times when my gaming group was genuinely surprised by something in an adventure.
- The reveal of an unexpected villain or enemy.
- The arrival of ‘the cavalry’.
- The simple face that we survived an encounter that didn’t seem survivable.
Specifics?
- One Doctor Who adventure revealed the Cybermen as the villains, to the surprise of our group.
- Things weren’t going well for our merchant crew in FASA Star Trek during a space battle, so Glenn said to me, “roll your luck,” and I started to say something about my trader captain, and then he said, “no, roll YOUR luck,” meaning my personal alter ego Star Fleet captain’s luck, which was rather high, and the odds shifted in our favor when the USS Excalibur arrived on the scene.
- see above example. Or most if not all of our Gloomhaven sessions.
Good times.
