Fabletop - Tales of a Rogue Party
Posted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 10:53 pm
There's a new online game system beta out, which is essentially Infrno Lite with built in, pick-up-and-play rules.

Don't be fooled. It is incredibly versatile, much like Roll To Dodge. I recruited a few Brikwarriors to investigate this game and they landed on my table and immediately fell to bickering and lighting things on fire, as it should be. We had Keldoclock, the Old Spider Farmer, MGB, the Suave Rogue, BFenix, the Northern Warrior, and Matt, the Drunken Lout with a Dagger. After a riotous introduction in the town square of Kaston, the crew decided that a party was in order- before smoke was spotted to the west. Keldo's farm was going up in flames! All of his silk, his spiders- on fire! He hastily gathered the rest- dragging Matt away from the barkeep and his sodden alcohol- and rushed to the rescue. Hooded figures brandishing torches were at the site, fighting the largest of his spider flock. The party immediately joined in, as was their wont. After a hard-fought battle, where several things caught on fire and were horribly murdered, the crew emerged victorious, although at the loss of all but one of Keldo's spiders. Having regaled the villagers with the tale of their battle with the horrible Salzar lizardmen (although nobody knows who put out the fire), Keldo declared that, bereft of farm or flock, he would ride his prize spider, Steve, as a wandering adventurer to put an end to the Salzar threat, once and for all.
Apparently they rather liked it, so we're going to do it again at some point. Dunno when, any suggestions, mates?
