This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I don't know how this game would be anything BUT fun!  I posted my review and will be crossposting it as I go along with my day.

Quote from: flyingmice;566336Added a thing to the In Harm's Way: Pigboats page - a pdf compiled from the 13 Actual Play reports of the Alpha Playtest of the game. On some fora*, I have gotten some reactions like "how could this be fun?" so I posted up links to these APs from my blog. The reaction was great, getting some folks who were doubtful pumped about the game, so I put them together in a pdf, spell checked them, and put them up for free download.

Enjoy! :D

* This includes, but is not limited to, this place! :D

Oh great! Way to make it easier to induce an intense, burning sensation of jealousy in me Clash! I will get you to run this for us one day if I have to bribe you ;) The Napoleonic IHW too damn it.

I've been working on it since the 27th, I was already planning on the review before I found this thread.  Just a pleasant little coincidence, is all.

I don't think Tim is all that interested, actually. He has ethical problems with games that have humans killing other humans, or anything with free will, Chris. :P

Did you read the APs? If so, do you think they will help folks get the hang of how a game is structured?

Even so, it was fast work, Joe! The game hasn't been out for a week, and you waited for publication. A pleasant coincidence indeed! :D

Well, I like to do a review every other week, our off weeks as it were, and with the hectic summer classes, I haven't been doing as well as I like...but I could not pass up Pigboats.  The whole IHW line is too cool, so the newest needed a good treatment.

Thank you! You certainly achieved that! :D
