Tales of the Fabulous N, Part 1
I haven't been able to get in as much gaming this holiday season as either I or the kids would have liked, largely because I haven't been able to prepare things. However, we did get to play through part of the Triple Ace Games free adventure “The Tale of the Fabulous Four”. Luckily, there were actually six pre-generated characters supplied, since there were actually six kids playing. It's set in Boston in 1915 and is about a bunch of kids who overhear some criminals planning to steal a diamond and decide to thwart them.
Attending
L.B. playing Nancy Hestletwain
T.A. playing Lucius Munroe
E.A. playing Samantha Hardcastle
M.A. playing Oscar Whitfield
T.B. playing Arthur Abrahams
O.B. playing Brent Hardcastle
Actual Play
We played through Act 1 and Act 2, though I compressed much of Act 2 because we had a very limited amount of time for the session; I skipped Scene 3 entirely, and wrapped things up completely differently.
I was definitely off my game, and six screaming kids didn't help things — for some reason I had more trouble keeping them settled down and on track than usual.
There were some good moments, though, and I think the kids had fun.
As for the adventure itself, I had a few problems with it. I suspect that if I'd had more time to adapt it things would have gone better. Oh well.
We'll probably finish this off this summer, when T.B. and O.B. are back visiting.
