    This is the second half of a spoileriffic review of Sleigh Ride, by Steve Kluskens & Liam Routt, from Fearful Passages. Part one is here.

    Overall notes

    Editingwise, there are a couple of missing lines where an NPC is introduced, which a Keeper will have to improvise around. This one also makes the common mistake of cramming a wodge of general notes right into the middle of the adventure.

    When dealing with the spy, the notes keep switching between Borisovich, ...

  2. Reviewish: Sleigh Ride, part 1

    This is the first half of a spoileriffic review of Sleigh Ride, by Steve Kluskens & Liam Routt, from Fearful Passages.

    This is the longest scenario in the books (hovering on the border of mini-campaign), and as such different portions of it have different traits. Sleighing is prominent in the scenario, though it’s a method of transport rather than the main event.

    Saturday, 12th April, 1924

    There is an article in the morning newspaper describing the discovery of Mr James Clark, how his wife is delighted he has been found, her thanks to the unknown person who took her husband to hospital and expressing her hope that Mr Clark will make a full recovery.

    Part Three: The Cavalry Comes to Save the Day

    Steven O’Hara dashed from the Wilkes-Barre Station and used his remaining funds for a taxi across the river into Kingston. His three day train trip gave him plenty of time to plot a plan B to somehow rescue his “associates” from the inbreds of Georgia. Claiming Nathan was in trouble, and he earned a “leave of absence” from school, his wife Angi (and primarily her shotgun) was a shoo-in. A quick telegram from Philadelphia to Dr. Bowsfield ...
