Re: [HOE] Unity Spoilers in Lost Colony

Ok first of all I would like to say that lost colony is in no way the best 
adventure ever. Shane Hensley took one of the best roleplaying games I know 
of and turned it into a hack and slash D&D run, and for some reason he seems 
to think everyone plays a templar and acts like they should be the leaders 
of the group for some reason and makes monsters that only a templar (or some 
other member of the group with a really high skill with a slashing wepon)can 
kill.This adventure was a pain in the ass for player characters. By about 
half way through it most of our group wasn't even having fun anymore we just 
wanted to see how it ended. As for the adventure itself anyone playing a 
cyborg or harrowed will miss out on a lot of game play due to the pulse 
outside of junkyard and they call for wuick combat on everything WTF is up 
with that. I mean they called for quick combat on one lurker. And as for the 
main part of the adventure when you actually get on the unity it sucks even 
more. I mean there's nothing to it You fight some frozen walking dead and 
some blood things and a couple slashers and then the biggest fight of them 
all. The unforgotten fifteen. What the hell were you thinking these guys 
were less of a problem than the first black hat patrol we fought. And if 
they're supposed to be the unfogotten fifteen joined into one why are the 
heads size twelve. It doesn't make any sense. They're fifteen humans joined 
into one body and have fifteen human heads therefore each head should be 
size six, but it didn't matter we still managed to kill them. But if it's 
fifteen sykers you would think it would have more than one hundred and fifty 
strain especially for banshee sykers since even if they had D6s in Vigor 
they should have fortitude which would put it up to twelve a piece but for 
some reason they only had about ten a piece. And most of the monsters 
weren't even given high enough stats to hit each anyone so again I ask why 
do you call this the greatest adventure ever. Something about a sword was a 
hundred times better. The only good that came out of this adventure is my 
syker now has 54 strain. Well just had to get that out of my system.
