ChainsawSlayerr Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hi. Does anyone know where I can find character sheets for the pregen characters (Blood Red Fez specifically)? I've looked all over and I can't seem to find them anywhere. Thanks. Link to comment
morganhua Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Stats are in book 2, p.97-100, but not separated into sheets. I created a PDF with the info on separate sheets, closer to a character sheet, but not quite. PDF Attached. I handed those out and they seemed to work fine for the players.

morganhua Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I did the same for the 1204 PCs. Attached. PCs_1204.pdf Link to comment
morganhua Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Looks like I didn't bother with the 330 PCs. Link to comment
ChainsawSlayerr Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Thanks a lot! I planned to just create the character sheets myself, but it quickly became time consuming and would lack some of the info presented in the book. I don't think I'll run the other two adventures in the past, but I wanted to run this so the players (and myself) knew what to expect. Link to comment
morganhua Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 My players didn't care for the 1204 optional scenario. Got bored by the Dreamlands Express and haven't returned to it. Dream Zagreb was atmospheric to read, but when I ran it, it wasn't that interesting. 330 was ok. They did like the 1893 Red Fez scenario a lot. So, good choice in picking that one to run.

ChainsawSlayerr Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 I can't take all the credit for picking The Blood Red Fez. I did some research from other GMs and it almost unanimous that the others in the past, and even some in the Dreamlands, weren't well recieved by players. Another member had suggested running BRF as a prequel and I liked the idea. Link to comment
SteveMND Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 In a similar vein to BRF as a prequel, we're going to be trying something different with HotOE when I run it next month. The gaming group and I all like the BBC Blackadder series, and while watching an episode the other day, I was thinking it might be interesting to run the various 'optional' encounters in chronological order, starting with the Roman one, up through Middle Ages, then Gaslight, and finally the actual OE adventurer itself, with the players portraying various members of their same long family line from one to the next. If they can recall stuff from the earlier adventures, and can apply that to later adventures, I'm fine with that -- a kind of a 'genetic memory' as it were, from their family line lurking deep within their blood. I think it'll be interesting, but I just need to make sure none of the revelations in the optional scenarios will give away anything major in the main one (or if it will, to obfuscate it enough so that it doesn't reveal too many secrets). (Also, just as a suggestion to the authors for later use -- from an organizational/operational standpoint, I feel like it would have better to have all the optional scenarios like those separated out into their own standalone book, as opposed to interspersed all around, across and within the main campaign itself.)
