Hi folks,

Finally managed to get sat down in front of a computer long enough to sum up my feelings about my first Indiecon. I had been to Conception a couple of times and was persuaded by Mr. Stokes that Indiecon would be right up my alley and a great place to get some playtesting in.

Using a modified form of the InSpectres ruleset, I ran a game based on the Hugh Laurie-starring TV series House at Concrete Cow Pt. 1 on Saturday. The main modifications are that skills are replaced by relationships to all characters (including your own) and the addition of an intermediate layer of dice called 'spotlight dice'. These are earned through the actions of the PCs in the same way as franchise dice and are used to take authority over the central character, in this case Dr. Gregory House.
