Bendigeidfran posted:It is, but how fun it is depends a lot on which Haunt you end up getting. Like Vampires are really fun but the Blob is just tedious and bland. Some of them are also overpowered as hell (which is good! Seeing hapless humans horribly perish is the best part of the game!) Also unfortunate if the traitor is a new player and not comfortable reading and interpreting a hidden set of rules in a competitive game; especially when those rules required so much errata.

I've been trying to play Dread for at least 4 years yet every time I have a game ready to go last minute drop outs cancel it. Haunted. (???) This year I'm saying gently caress it and totally & unfairly tying it to my birthday celebrations. Characters were close in high school, thoroughly parted ways, but are going to the Boundary Waters for 7 days to try to celebrate a 10 year reunion. Setting is a foresty lake area between Canada and the US without cell phone coverage, 3 days wait for medical attention. When they get off the water, no one is there to pick them up. Ever

The idea of me running a game for her came up and I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for a one PC game or things that they've done in the past to make it easier? Any systems that lend themselves to it? GMless systems may be in order. Microscope and Fiasco immediately come to mind.

ascendance posted:So, I need a good name for the Djinn mafia in my Ottoman/Persian setting. Why not just "The Cartel" or something similar and the players discover it's run by djinns? Is it a setting where there is no value in hiding who runs it because everyone already knows? If that's the case, then, "The Djinno Family"

Oh drat, I bet that's a great match actually. Assign the capricious nature of Fiasco characters' fate to the will of the Computer. Perfect. e: haha I think that's more world-defining fluff than I've ever seen for a Fiasco playset.

On the other hand Mouse Guard has many of the same concepts, paired down in complexity, and runs like a dream from the first session on. You just have to get used to feeling like you're railroading adventures, or drift a bit from rules as written.

The party had a serious, going to come to blows argument between two characters, and Mouse Guard was the first game I played where the mechanics handled it quickly, comprehensively, in a way that was entertaining to the other players, and most importantly, involved one character winning and both players feeling good with the outcome. It was a Saul on the road to Damascus moment
