The book rules feel simply incomplete, in that they don't have any explanation how to handle multiple attacks, for example. Would be happy to learn that the book has more that I'm missing that brings it closer to your rules, but without your combat rules, I wouldn't play 1e.James Eckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347062105765905149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912583655186771882.post-73599966000664938342022-04-26T23:51:23.121-07:002022-04-26T23:51:23.121-07:00It sounds like it was a blast!

I have four regular players in my group, and at one point had six. They do well, even managing to achieve surprising victories against the odds when they have multiple PCs or have multiple henchmen or mercenaries, but they don't like the extra weight (or treasure sharing) involved in this, so they always want to ditch the extra companions, whereupon they bounce from disaster to disaster, usually losing all of their loot.<br />Mike DiBaggiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13533726501296414618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912583655186771882.post-85451024975514669682022-01-02T13:44:02.604-08:002022-01-02T13:44:02.604-08:00Very cool!Very cool!Blue Tysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01090584083476832111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912583655186771882.post-23332744878981082322021-12-10T04:35:06.228-08:002021-12-10T04:35:06.228-08:00We have always done the entire Player's Option...We have always done the entire Player's Option set for Blackstone, yes.<br />The blog post is a good idea, thanksRick Stumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163938268347172871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912583655186771882.post-7100514956108249022021-11-28T06:20:38.833-08:002021-11-28T06:20:38.833-08:00So were you actually running it with Player's ...So were you actually running it with Player's Option?
