It is the 2nd full day of Contingency, the tabletop convention I am at in Norfolk this week. Today I played “Nevermore”, “Getting Away With Murder” and “Gobbo Killbot”.
Nevermore
Nevermore was a Powered By The Apocalypse module set in the world of Wednesday (Netflix) run by James Mullen.
This was a great group and lots of fun. Well worth exploring further.
Getting Away With Murder
Getting Away With Murder is a is a co-operative role-play game where your group will bring to life a darkly comedic murder mystery … that I co-created. This was my first time running it at a convention. It went down so well, I got lots of positive feedback. I am going to run it again on Saturday morning.
In a wild twist the “most innocent” character was a sneaky blackmailing manipulator who deliberately accused a mostly innocent character in the last scene as a plot point in their character art enabling them to make out like a bandit with dirt on everyone!
Gobbo Killbot
This was a very different Goblins game to the one we played yesterday. A home brew system with immortal goblins, run by my friend Claire. Our gobbos has individual personalities and fixed skills. We were on mission to scavenge parts and build a fighting robot. Skill checks were a D6 roll, success depended on difficulty, but for the most part the a 1-2 was a failure and a 5-6 was a success. Silly and fun was the tone. In the end we won the robot battle by accusing the other (NPC) team of cheating after our mage accidentally summoned unicorns.
