As our Gamma World sessions come to an end it was time to start something new.  Tristan stepped up to the plate with the D&D second edition adventure Reverse Dungeon.

Now Reverse Dungeon is different from most D&D adventures as it actually puts you in the shoes  of the bad guys.  Well, I say bad guys but I guess it’s all a question of perspective.  Once you step into the Goblin mindset you suddenly realise that Goblins are a runt species just trying to survive…(Do Goblins even wear shoes?)

Unlike the heroes 3D6 you only get 2D6 for all your Abilities, except for Constitution where you get an extra +1 to the roll and Charisma where you have a Gobshite disadvantage of a -2.  So you can already see these guys are at a massive disadvantage and it’s no wonder you have to roll five characters. They’re not destined to last that long in this vicious hero filled land….

My Gang of Gobshites

So after character generation it was time to get into the ROLEPLAY and when I say the word ROLEPLAY I mean it…

Squeaky voices, foul language and the feeling that you wouldn’t turn your back of any of the little shites as they would steal your mother to trade her for mushrooms at the drop of a hat. (Goblin women apparently are quite low down on the social chain so trading them for mushrooms is probably quite a good deal – hate the game not the Goblin)

Playing from the other side of the combat with unwanted heroes turning up was quite an experience and gives  you a better understanding of why these creatures, who are only trying to survive, act they way they do.

Next up my first session report from the Reverse Dungeon….

…DG Out!
