That being said, i definitely understand your frustration and have experienced it myself.<BR/><BR/>oddly enough, my friends and i had also considered merging don't rest your head and lacuna together - we figured some event in the blue city could somehow turn it into the mad city. I'll have to look into Cold City.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757465237777363772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433934787021711050.post-17926249974444165162008-09-01T09:11:00.000-05:002008-09-01T09:11:00.000-05:00r analysis of 1. an interesting nontraditional st...r analysis of 1. an interesting nontraditional structure and 2. probably best for one-shots. <BR/><BR/>For whatever reason a lot of indie games are like that, which I find frustrating after a while. I considered somehow merging DRYH, Lacuna, maybe even Cold City to get "enough game" to sustain more play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433934787021711050.post-73290462306367180322008-08-25T01:22:00.000-05:002008-08-25T01:22:00.000-05:00Other than WoD, I only played Exalted...

I have no idea what you play outside of WoD though, so I'm just throwing that out there. I played Lacuna recently, and although it's an interesting setting, I found DRYH to be more polished and a better product over all. With as little prep time as it takes too, I've been able to run a lot of off the cuff games over a short period of time.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757465237777363772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433934787021711050.post-91029132016595079662008-08-24T00:35:00.000-05:002008-08-24T00:35:00.000-05:00Don't Rest Your Head sounds like an interesting ga...Don't Rest Your Head sounds like an interesting game, I'll probably give it a chance in the near future...Lunatykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031074012796060062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433934787021711050.post-76953618419411301782008-08-20T23:09:00.000-05:002008-08-20T23:09:00.000-05:00Hey it's a great game.
