AAR: Ronin: Kalissa's Historicon Game, The Seven Deadly Samurai Sisters!

      For the last posts about this past Historicon, this is a post about my wife's Ronin games. She decided to run a Ronin game much around the same time as I was going to run my Pelelui Assault game. I am not sure if I will be able to do my vision with that game with the venue the convention is held at for next year without some careful planning. Besides, it has been concluded that both my wife, Kalissa and I have to run games next year. This was the second convention that Kalissa had ran a convention game, and I must brag that she is pretty good at it.
     For her Ronin games, she ran three different games: two on Friday and one on Saturday. These were six player games, though, I ran the Lady Bushi faction who the main targets of the game along with the random civilians roaming around the village. Usually, most people do not play too many games where the objectives fight back. The game was called "The Seven Deadly Samurai Sisters". I did come up with the name, which was inspired by my love of badly dubbed Kung Fu movies. It is almost as bad as my Godzilla love. And for one individual who had came up to our table, because he  said that he had to see the game, for the title in the PELA was "Hot!" I am not going to judge, but if I get into writing trashy, romantic novels, I now know I can come up with a title.
     All three games ran pretty well. The first and the last games had everyone who pre-registered show up. We were only short two players in the second game. Though, it is nice knowing that a game in filled in pre-registration, I do think it has caused some game filling problems. It could have been a filled game if people had to somewhat fight to get into it. This was something that happened last year at our games as well: filled pre-registration games with a bunch of  "no shows." Either way, the game was still playable. In all three games, there were different results in the end. The first game had only one of the seven sisters escape/survive. The second, only one out of seven was killed. In fact, due to the most amazing rolling I have ever done, I managed to kill so many people that I was told that I could not use those dice again at the convention! The third, all of the sisters were killed.
     All in all, Kalissa and I had a lot of fun for this relatively small convention game. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, and plenty of people came by with regrets to no getting in. I am sure that a forth game would have attracted enough players. We just look forward to next year's Historicon 2020!
