Back from Riftworld.  Great.  More after Doctor Who repeat on BBC3.

Rifteworlde

OK, so, Riftworld.  It really is very good.  Everybody had a great time, the props were as funky as I have heard (there was an autocannon on top of the bunker!  It swivelled as people moved towards it!  It all gets you thinking about what you can achieve with a little MDF, some spray paint and a bit of imagination), roleplaying was of a high standard, rah.  Rules were simple and easy to pick up, though I imagine if I was playing I'd have to know a little more about the exact death process.  I worry slightly that the system may be growing too fast, but the players seemed genuinely hounded despite the 2:1 (maybe 3:1) crew:player ratio - there were about 20 players and only 7 or 8 crew, including refs (who also monstered).

( Dissection of crew numbers, and the nature of the system. )

So, in summary - a corking weekend.  I will go again, when I have enough money to play.  Assuming there are enough player spaces.  I wonder if I can borrow Sam's murdering knife...
