Old Ideals for New Games

A Nice Grey Ranks Quote

Posted by Jason on January 30th, 2008 — in Events, Grey Ranks, Reviews

From Nemomeme:

” It was extremely cool, but I especially felt the “pang of the one-shot” with this game. By that I mean I’ve really begin to realize how much I prefer a game that goes for three or more sessions. There was so much more to explore in the amazing characters and situation the players and the game system afforded, but no time or opportunity to do it. The Polish child soldiers, Bear, Slaz, Mar, and the rest are lost portraits, frozen in time. This was my favorite session of the convention”

Jason’s back! The Grey Ranks session was so full that he split it into two games – one of the advantages of GMless play. A surprisingly subtle game of The Shab-al-Hiri Roach: OVERLORD was also played, as well as a lot of playtesting. Thanks to everyone who came and enjoyed our offerings!

Here’s the video of some Grey Ranks actual play, with commentary by the players.
