2016 Hallowe'en Special #1: Wild West & Wilder Accents

[Oneiros]

Puns, ponies and painful accents - it's everything you've come to expect from a #RQGaming special and more! Especially since we have bonus Jonny taking a break from the Archives to come a run a nice, simple horror game for the Crew.

Well, I've been told there'll be horror... 

Hope you all are enjoying this little foray into the Deadlands RPG - this is a personal favourite setting of Jonny's. Though I'm not sure he was quite aware of what would happen when he exposed it to our motley crew. Jokes about cardplay and cartography were probably not high on his list   (though the Ordinance joke did completely crack me up).

Will our hapless posse make a stand and deliver a winning outcome? Stay tuned for the next installment of a game where "Wanted: Dead or Alive" takes on a whole new dimension!

To me, this is one of the best kinds of horror: half of it is setup, the other half is horror. Look at films like Alien, everything is pretty normal for the first half of the film and all you do is start to like the characters and relate to them. Then, the second half slowly cranks up the tension. Hoping for a horrible end to the next one! That said, I'm not sure how scary it can be, what with Mikey Mouse, Eddison from RQG, Groot and A crazy old man

I'd never heard of Deadlands and I really enjoyed this episode. It got me looking into the Deadlands system, fun stuff! I really enjoyed the production design and feel like RQ is getting better and better and adding sounds to enchance the episodes. Love it!

Although Sunshine is a good example of where that went terribly wrong

And describing Ben's "Brooklyn" accent as 'Mickey Mouse' is absolutely on the nose. Though I don't think James is 'crazy' old man, so much as curmudgeonly. It brought to mind the practitioners of the ancient Lancastrian martial art of Ecky Thump (though I guess I'm really showing my age with references to The Goodies...)

Look Anil, it's actually a very faithful """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""Brooklyn""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" accent

I love these specials! There's something wonderful about hearing people enjoying themselves, and I look forward to the horror part!
