I’m hard at work on the second in the Quick-Play Adventures<\/a> series (the first being Race for The Dutchman<\/a>). It’s not quite ready for release, but you can get a peek at the characters this week. What do you think so far?<\/p>\n

The Bunnies’ Tale<\/h1>\n

Life has been good in the warren for many seasons, with little sickness, few predators, and plentiful food year-round. Scores of rabbit bucks and does thrive here, almost too many to remember, and healthy litters are plentiful.<\/p>\n

Yesterday morning, as the sun began to rise and the air to warm, you crept into your sleeping hole as you had a hundred times before, belly full and eyes heavy. Even a thunderous mid-day storm didn’t rouse you beyond opening a single eye.<\/p>\n

But then came the flood, a violent deluge that set upon the warren, raging through every tunnel, every chamber. You remember being swept away, thrashing, gasping for air… and then only blackness.<\/p>\n

When you open your eyes, it is nighttime. You are cold and bruised, and find yourself in a completely unfamiliar clearing, part of a small group of rabbits: Brighteyes<\/strong>, a wise hoplite<\/em> diplomat, and his mighty sentinel <\/em>bodyguard, Deeproot<\/strong>; the hoplite <\/em>healer and herbalist, Sage<\/strong>; and two fast friends: Lightning<\/strong>, a hoplite<\/em> scout, and Ripper<\/strong>, a sentinel<\/em> skirmisher.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Could the warren have survived?<\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Can you find your way back to it?<\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Will you all survive such a dangerous journey?<\/h3>\n

The PCs are similar to those from another bunnies game I ran at Gateway 2014 convention called “Some Bunny Needs You<\/a>,” with a few tweaks (for example, the advantages and disadvantages are still pretty light). I’ll have character sheets by next week, but here’s the overview:<\/p>\n

\"PC-overview\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’d love to have the whole adventure ready to post tomorrow, or at least by next week.\u00a0Have any thoughts on what’s done so far?<\/p>\n

This is hopefully the second of many more to come.<\/p>\n
