Recover the package

Just finished a game of Final Fade Out tonight with three of my gaming buddy's. I'm sure we butchered the rules ( ok I butchered the rules ) but over all it was very amusing. I am impressed with the game mechanics and in the way the story plays out. When you think it's going to go smooth the game throws a wrench at your monkey and turns the tables on you once more.

Tonight's game was a home made scenario where we had someone not playing the game help set it up. The normal game mechanics already lend themselves to a random game experience very well. But I decided to add to it for tonights game. The person helping set up cut out a bunch of paper chits to write on. We then decided tonights game would be a find the thief style game, where on of the chits would be the thief. And all the others would be random encounters. Anything from 1d6 zombies, tire irons or non playing characters to run across. One of the chits would contain Stephan the thief and the objective of tonight's game. 

Stephan had stolen a very valuable object from a man and was considered priority number one. Calls were made and hit men are summoned to find and retrieve the stollen item.  

My next blog will be about the characters that took part in the game
