Arriving in the Hall of Fame like a knight on a charger is HHE.
It was started in an attempt to playtest Pelgrane Press's
13th Age RPG, an unofficial version of D&D from the creators of 3rd and 4th Edition, so OOC topics tended to be busier and more involved than normal, totalling 746 posts out of 2092.
The adventure itself was based on
The Haunted Helm by James Ward, published in TSR's
AC10 D&D Bestiary of Dragons and Giants. This was then remoulded to fit the shape of
Blood & Lightning, the official beginner's adventure in the 13th Age rule book.
The game started in April 2015 and ended in April 2016, giving it a roughly 12 month running time. With 1346 game posts, that's approximately 4 posts per day.
That seems pretty high, considering the average word count for game posts was 158, giving a total word count for HHE somewhere in the region of 212,136! That's about twice
The Hobbit, and more than any book in
The Lord of the Rings trilogy too.
What does 158 words look like? See the lorem ipsum below.
Looking at previous nemarsde games, he killed off 40% of the player characters in TVS and around 60% in INS!!
Shockingly, no player characters died in HHE. He must be slacking.
