Bureau 13 Stalking The Night Fantastic Pdf

Today, I have another Halloween gift for you: my most recent Bureau 13: Stalking the Night Fantastic character sheet.This game has probably gotten more play in our game group in the last 25+ years than any other. It's not that it's a particularly brilliant game but it seemed to sit well with all the players and GMs.I don't imagine there are more than a handful of people who play this once award-winning game.

It's long-since been surpassed in terms of system design and graphic design, with rules layout and clarity and illustrations that harken back to TSR's original Dungeons and Dragons or Holmes Basic. And a lot of people could never get past the tongue-in-cheek vibe of the cover, interior illos, and fluff, or the toolkit-style presentation of the rules. If they had dug a little deeper, though, they'd have found a nifty little game that allows for a lot of character creation flexibility and that can be played completely 'straight' - as in: not in a humorous vein - to great effect. My group found that it offered a nice balance between the nihilism and hopelessness of Call of Cthulhu and the 'super heroes fight monsters' feel of Beyond the Supernatural.It also gave us The X-Files and Delta Green over a decade before these were even conceived.B13 players will notice that some of the stats are missing - that's a result of a house rule that removed combat abilities from character attributes and turned them into skills, where our group generally agreed they belong.Enough chatter - here's the sheet. Of all of the products I was exposed to in my youth, there are a few that always manage to evoke a deep, nostalgic response.One such examplet:I can't look at the cool, stylized imagery of these old TSR 'Dragon Dice' packages without feeling a serious pang of nostalgia.

Just seeing these pictures (especially of that awesome blue package!) instantly transports me to 1982, where I'm standing at the counter of B. Dalton Booksellers, latest issue of Dragon magazine in hand, agonizing over which set to buy; I'm at my dining room table of the old farmhouse, rolling stats for a legion of back-up player characters/NPCs; I'm dashing through the streets of Sprechenhaltestelle dodging the bullets of KGB snipers; I'm taking a deep-dive into my imagination, surrounded by the people I care about most, my tribe.Ultimately, I bought each of the sets pictured below, plus a couple sets of differently colored dice. (Yes, my dice addiction started early.)I still have all. So, my pre-ordered copy of, the latest adventure book for Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition (from Wizards of the Coast ('WotC')), arrived yesterday.

While I haven't had a lot of time yet to spend with the book, let me give you my first impression of it:It's filled to the brim with pure awesome sauce!The book, physically, is yet another example of WotC's exquisite design and production values for its D&D product line. The art and overall design complement the content nicely, as we've come to expect from the books that support this latest version of the game.As for the adventure itself, its structure is described on page 10 of the book:'Waterdeep: Dragon Heist consists of an introductory adventure designed to familiarize player characters with the city. And provide them with a base of operations. Followed by a citywide treasure hunt. And descriptions of the villains' lairs.'
