Hackmaster - Part Deux.....

So, as I'm back from a nice relaxing honeymoon and have been flung full force back into the rat-race, I figured I'd take a break from catching up with work and quickly write up up a short overview of the our second session of Hackmaster 5th Edition.

You may recall I'd previously mentioned that we were taking a very short break from our usual Tuesday night GURPS game (which is itself a very good system) as our GM had buggered off for a few weeks in sunny Cyprus (it's alright for some - serves him right that Sterling is now less reliable than a plumbers estimate) and whilst we were awaiting, (in keen anticipation) his return with the Duty Free, we had decided to give Hackmaster 5th Ed a quick try.

Part Deux......

 Now, I won't lie, I had been hoping for an opportunity to try the system for a while - we had been running GURPS for a few years and before that played D&D3.5 for so long that I was thoroughly sick of it. I had been reading up on it, purchased the core books, got my head around the rules....... all I needed was a unsuspecting group to inflict my GM skills upon..... MWWWWWHHHHHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Roleplay - Hackmaster 5th Edition - Session 1

I keep telling myself that I really must make more of an effort with this blog!!

Anyway, I'm taking a breather whilst on my honeymoon (Sprout is asleep and TLC is taking a well-earned rest, while I'm typing from my mobile in an attempt to put that right).

As many of you know, I'm a huge roleplay fan. At the moment I am playing GURPS 4th edition, set in space and using the Ultra-tech rules. It's a lot of fun, but when our DM took a holiday a few weeks ago (the selfish swine) the group wanted to continue playing something.... Which left us in a bit of a dilemma...... Should someone else take over the campaign and risk side tracking the story (and potentially get the characters killed), or should we miss three precious weeks of gaming????
