My 2010 “Day of Fudge” Adventure!

June 5th was the “Day of Fudge” for 2010, and I ran a four hour Fudge game session at Unique Gifts & Games in Grayslake, IL where I live. I prepared an adventure for the event that I am sharing from my SkyDrive account:

Now I had hoped to have completed my adventure one week before the DoF, so that I could post it to the web for others to use. Now nearly a month later I am finally sharing the adventure now. Yet I am not upset with myself because what was supposed to be an eight page adventure is now over twenty pages.

The game itself was a fairly good one. I ran Fudge with a much more objective approach and I am enjoying that type of Fudge game more and more. We used tokens for miniatures, a battle mat, pre-generated player characters, my initiative system that uses playing cards, and Fudge points in the form of poker chips.

The game had five players although I had planned on having six. The adventure played well and the players seemed to have a good time. For time purposes I had to skip my second and third encounters and went straight into the fourth encounter. There was a PC death due to a –4 roll at a crucial moment, and another PC death when the game ran late and a player had to leave so I killed the PC for story purposes since no one wanted to take over the character.

In the end I had a great time and the players that I talked to later seemed to have fun too. I also was inspired to add a few new mechanics to my Fudge games, and this game was helpful to me in developing not just the SinisterForces game setting but also a new type of product line. I hope to pitch it to a few people at Gen Con this year.

Who else ran games for the DoF this year? Tell me about your experiences and feel free to leave your feedback on my adventure with a comment.
