Got to play BASH on Saturday
Posted: Sun Jun 20, 2010 2:35 am
Saturday was NerdNYC's Recess game day in Manhattan. During the afternoon sessions, someone ran BASH UE. We basically used the templates from the back (we got to pick from the 25 point characters), customized them with skills, ads/disads, Mental Malfunctions, chose some names, and off we went.
We had some interesting characters, including a super strong orangutan, a psychic power ranger, a speedster with a fetish for eating hot dogs between battles, a weather controller, a teenager blaster, and I played Mr. Flexible, the stretcher.
It was a pretty straight forward adventure, but we had a blast. The GM had never run the game before, but other than forgetting he didn't have to roll for NPC's all the time, did a good job of conveying how the game runs. Helped me get a good feel for how the game plays, and how the multiplication isn't a problem at all (I brought my copy, so I had the back cover chart to make it easier on us all).
Some interesting bits:
My character using his body morphing into weapons to turn his arms into gongs, and slamming them together on a thug; the weather controller freezing the villain, so the blaster could take him out with one of his specialty blasts, the mentalist using his TK to lift objects to intercept attacks on him. I also had my character morph into the armor of a robot we defeated, covering the weather controller, so we could sneak into the villain's base.
That's all I can remember off the top of my head; the GM has an account here, so hopefully he'll post something (forgot to get his screen name here, as I only know his NerdNYC one).
All in all, we had a good time, and I thought it was better than the other game I played in during Recess. Hopefully next time, I can see about running BASH myself!
