Everything about it spoke to me as a gamer. It used an original system that really made the experience pop. The action and humor never stopped as our characters attended a beach party that was threatened by evil rain drops. These sentient droplets of evil were determined to ruin our character&#8217;s good time. It sounds simple, but I could not ask for a better introduction to the game. Combine that with an exceptional table (one of the better GMs I\u2019ve ever played with) and a perfect set of players, it made for Saturday morning cartoon characters that leaped off the gaming table!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Blade-Runner-RPG-3D-Packshot.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25530 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Blade-Runner-RPG-3D-Packshot-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Blade-Runner-RPG-3D-Packshot-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Blade-Runner-RPG-3D-Packshot-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Blade-Runner-RPG-3D-Packshot-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Blade-Runner-RPG-3D-Packshot-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Blade-Runner-RPG-3D-Packshot.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><strong>But What Is <i>The Excellents<\/i>? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Adriel Wilson and Chris O\u2019Neill\u2019s ENnie nominated RPG in which you play as a Saturday morning cartoon princess. It\u2019s like <i>She-Ra and the Princesses of Power<\/i> meets <i>My Little Pony<\/i> with fun, simple, and versatile mechanics thrown in. Each player\u2019s character is represented by a single die, d4, d6, d8, or d10. Intelligence rolls are easier for the lower dies and combat rolls are easier for the higher dies. Regardless of the roll, the math is weighted so you generally succeed, which, with a Saturday morning cartoon style of game, makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>When this project was crowdfunding on Kickstarter, I interviewed the creators (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/the-excellents-rpg-an-interview-with-chris-oneill-and-adriel-wilson-9th-level-games\/\">here<\/a>). I\u2019d wanted to play an \u201cofficial\u201d session and was glad to get in on a game at Origins. Everything about the game worked. Great GM, great table, perfect adventure, and perfectly paced. We made characters and played the session in two hours, but it felt like a deeply satisfying three or four hour session (in the best possible way).<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, I\u2019ve been thinking on the RPG and what could be done with it.\u00a0Enter the comments by Douglas Shute and Lucus Palosaari that I wrote about and it all started to flow. Now, I just need to narrow down what the adventure will be.<\/p>\n<p>Halloween is approaching and I want to setup a fun game in which everybody feels like they had fun and accomplished something. I\u2019m not going for horror, instead I want laughs. More <i>Nightmare Before Christmas<\/i> than John Carpenter\u2019s <i>Halloween<\/i>. With that in mind, I started thinking of how to tie power princesses and gummy bears together. Well, that\u2019s not true, the idea was there, it was more about how to present it.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/The-Excellents-Powered-by-Polymorph.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25528 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/The-Excellents-Powered-by-Polymorph-200x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/The-Excellents-Powered-by-Polymorph-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/The-Excellents-Powered-by-Polymorph-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/The-Excellents-Powered-by-Polymorph.png 759w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>The Excellents: It\u2019s Worse When Gummies Crave You\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Princess of Halloween, Julie, invites the other princesses to her Halloween-themed castle to partake in a night of fun, scares, dancing, and candy. The guests arrive expecting to find a mansion that is both creepy and deliciously well appointed in the style of every dark cartoon castle. While the house does resemble that, the interior is deserted and dessert-ed. There&#8217;s no one in the entry and hallways of the grand house, yet everything within is covered in globs of Jell-O and brightly colored goo. Maybe the sticky walls and floors are just poorly applied decorations? As the guests move through the mess to get to the ballroom where the party is raging, they hear\u00a0an earnest 1980s TV theme song playing from here and there and everywhere. As the characters move through the candy scented halls, it feels less Halloween fun than they might expect from Julie. (If you\u2019re getting a <i>Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/i> Season 4 Halloween episode, <i>Fear, Itself<\/i>, vibe in which the characters had to get through the frat house to get to the party, I can see the resemblance.) As they press on, they have to find the guests, discover the secret of all of this gummy stuff everywhere, and rescue themselves from the bouncing party treats that Julie unleashed!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Dragon-Con-Logo-dc-home-hero-logo-faded-500x390-350x273-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-25531 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Dragon-Con-Logo-dc-home-hero-logo-faded-500x390-350x273-1-300x234.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Dragon-Con-Logo-dc-home-hero-logo-faded-500x390-350x273-1-300x234.png 300w, https:\/\/www.d20radio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Dragon-Con-Logo-dc-home-hero-logo-faded-500x390-350x273-1.png 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Will to be fun?
