I played in
James Raggi's new Lamentations of the Flame Princess adventure last night with
Zak,
Mandy,
Aberrant Hive Mind, and
Higgipedia. I'm given to understand that this will be the new introductory adventure for the Grindhouse edition of LotFP. I think the adventure will be successful in that role because it:
- starts gently, and invites the players to root their characters in the world
- asks the players to think deeply about the situation by not providing them with an easy, obvious course of action
- shows the players that their actions have significant ramifications in the broader game world (recalling a favorite Raggi theme, though without locking the referee into quite such a catastrophic outcome in this case)
While my impressions are from the perspective of a player, and this was not the final version, I can confidently say that, as much as I enjoyed
Stargazer, this new adventure uses a similarly familiar trope to create far more engaging play situations for both the players and the referee.
