Dark Hearsay, a Tale of Diabolical Rumours

We're back into pen & paper RPGs it seems, this time we've got our grim-face on. I'm not certain if it'll be enough for the dark bleaky blackness of the 40K universe though, since as far I know none of us have been scowling since birth. We'll damn well try our best regardless.

The first game is due to start 'soon'. Well, tonight-level of soon even, which is a good thing if it wasn't for the fact that ever time I say that I feel a strong urge to start my next five sentences with 'if' or 'unless', and 'but'. Look on the bright side though; I'm not the one running it! Jason, an old friend from way-back-when-time has apparently done this game running thingamy-wossit before and is willing to take the reigns. It's awfully nice of him to step up, though I'm having doubts about how long our group will survive.

I never did a post about my vain and depressing attempts to GM a Wold of Darkness game eons ago, but sufficient to say our group probably should have died a half dozen times. It was kept floating along by my attempts to frantically bullshit our way out of lethal situations. See, I didn't want anyone to die for the first little while because we hadn't tried pen & paper games before and I wanted it to have a good showing. Regrettably this may have left us relatively unprepared for a GM with no such compunctions.

Ah well.

I'll cover how it goes (if, unless, but, etc.) next time.
