So, just Narrated my first game tonight, and I have to say, I was excited going into the game, but it ended up being a SMASH HIT with my group, and now they want me to run another game.

I ran the two of them (with myself playing a supporting rifleman) through the "Corpse Factory" and they managed to avoid almost every encounter possible (through a high level of dumb luck).

They spent the entire session at the edges of their seats wondering what would happen next, and were walking on eggshells in fear of encountering a sudden, gory demise.

The system is easy to pick up and play, with the journey cards giving a fun little roleplay start to the mission,setting the tone and giving the characters hard choices to make (such as upgrading now, or saving your cards that may save your life later).

Strongly recommend.

Un jeu sympa et très complet, avec un background vraiment fun, mais dont le système de jeu semble un peu lourd à mettre en place. (A nice and rich game, with very funny background, but with not easy to use rules)

Wet Ink Games captures the horrors of war (and worse) while being respectful of both real world vets and protecting the feelings of players playing the game. I will be do a more in depth playtest review at EN World, but my initial read through convinced me I have to run this game. Players will take on the roles of soldiers slowly giving up their past memories and bits of their humanity to survive an inhuman war. But things are even worse, as otherworldly monsters bring even more insanity and killing to the battlefield. PCs will have some personal control of events through a clever dice pool while working at a unit level using playing cards to complete missions, help with tasks, and if they survive improve their own abilities. The intro sums it up for me: Never Going Home is a party-focused role-playing game set in horror haunted trenches during the First World War. If that sounds good to you, get ready to deploy.
