So the 4th edition game we've been playing has kind of fizzled out. That's ok though, we were planning on switching to next anyway. Our dm has been working on a new campaign and this seemed like a good time to make the switch. Imagine a world where everyone lives the original American dream of being a farmer. There are no large cities and magic has been outlawed by the church. There's more to it, but that's the jist. I'm really excited for the new campaign setting and game system.
While our regular DM finishes up his plans for the campaign setting and first few encounters I've been ask to run a session or two of Brave New World for our group. Two of us first played on Tabletop Day and it was a ton of fun. My wife watched us play BNW is a low powered superhero game set in a dystopian America.
Mechanically it uses open ended d6 rolls to resolve everything. It makes for a refreshing change of pace from the d20 system we normally use.
Our little mini campaign revolves around a group of deltas (super powered individuals) fighting for their lives in an online reality show. The first installment involved just two characters fighting against increasingly dangerous foes over the course of several rounds. Delta Hunt, as the show is called, is going to continue this Monday with a larger cast of characters. I'm going to have most of the players attempting to rescue the last person that is to be "recruited" for their team who was captured by a mercenary army.
I'm looking forward to getting a better grasp on the rules and letting the characters really cut loose against their foes!
