I feel out of touch on this one.... I mentioned at work (not at a game - at work) that I was probably skipping this one, and got a response of 'Giantslayer?! Like the old adventures from way back when?! I'm there!'
This from a person that wasn't even born when the old Against the Giants series came out.
Likewise, folks at the game, Megan and I not withstanding, are highly enthused. Five out of seven people are happy as clams with the idea.
Kind of like the response that the Mummy's Mask received. (I still have not read that path - I still want to play, not run it.
Mummy's Mask got six out of six... and no one wanting to run it, 'cause everyone wants to play. (It will end up being me running it.. but I wanna play... *Whinge!*)Is nostalgia that powerful? That it effects people that weren't even around to get nostalgic?
On the other hand, I remember on incident in the kids game - when a giant was going 'Fee... Fi... Fo... Fum... I smell the blood of a mortal one....'
Three of the kids laughed, and two others got scared - they realized what they were facing wasn't just a giant - it was a legend.
The Auld Grump. though I think that the original Fee Fi Fo Fum was from Shakespeare's Childe Roland line in King Lear.....
