Played our second session of the Primetime Adventures “Strange Allies” last night with Doyce and Margie and Randy. Great fun, dealing with a desert djinn in Egypt, right in time to win the Second Battle of El Alamein.
The episode synopsis (it’s Ep 1, since last time was the Pilot) is here. I think we’re getting the hang of the conflict system, and I, at least, felt like it was a riproaring, interesting, creative, fulfilling story — even though Roger’s getting more and more scared (and even though it wasn’t a “big episode” for him).
It’s almost as much fun doing the logs as doing the game (but not quite as much). Wikipedia is my friend, and coming up with all the historical cross-references after (and even during) the game is triffic fun.

Doyce’s game comments are up. I agree with everything he says about the system.
I wonder if anybody but me laughed at the post title. 🙂
“Eh? Oh. Quite.”
Siiiiiigh….
I figured if anyone would get it, Avo, you would.
“There — Egypt! Did I ever tell you about the time I single-handedly destroyed an Italian sorcerer’s plot to use blood magic to raise a djinn to assist the Afrika Korps in its life-and-death struggle against Montgomery’s Eighth Army?”
“Well, actually, Commander …”
There’s an amazing number of them on Google Video (and probably YouTube, too).
Wherefore the sighing, D?
Your logs are the second best thing to being there! (Although I’m afraid the “Ill Met” was a smudge better. [grinning])
I certainly am not going to argue that particular point.
