We played the first session of our Magical Land of Yeld playtest this past weekend, and though short, the adventure went rather well. We added two more players, Cody and Kim, who played Zappa the Baby (5 yo boy) and Rainbow the Know-It-All (8 yo girl). I will post stats on these two characters later, as well as the revised stats for the existing characters. We made sure all of the characters now have a Tough of at least 2, and changed Davey (our resident Princess) Special Die: Girl Knowledge to Monster Knowledge, figuring he was a big comic book/sci-fi/fantasy fan and would have a better chance than most of knowing secrets of some of the monsters we would encounter.

The setup for "Goblins in the Stacks," our first adventure, was rather simple. The player characters were all Friends who were going to the Mall of America to a comic book shop to purchase Issue 1 of a Japanese Manga called "The Magical Land of Yeld." All of them had heard the comic was incredible, but no one knew any more about the book. So the session began with the kids standing in a long line waiting for the store to open and worried that by the time they would make it inside, all of the issues would be sold.


I plan to post updated character stats and monster stats as well. I need to go back and figure out how many Adventure Dice I spent (four monsters and one challenge), but I am sure it was well less than 20, so it was an Easy Challenge (meaning the players now have 1 Reward Die).

Thats about it for now. I will post more as it comes to me.
