A fresh look at Hero's Journey Home
I banged my head against Miskatonic Tales this week trying to learn it, and ended up wasting 2-3 days of Dungeon Dive work. IMHO, the rule book for that game ranks as one of the worst I've ever read. I had a much easier time learning and playing Horror on the Orient Express, a much bigger, more involved game.
So I needed to get something to the table that I could get played without hassle, and decided to revisit Hero's Journey Home.
And I'm glad that I did.
After playing the game, I also discovered that it seems to be entirely out of print. I'm hoping that maybe a new video will generate some new interest in the game. This would be such an easy game for the designer to throw up on Drivethrucards/RPG, so people could get POD.
