Last night we played the second half of a classic German rpg adventure: Der Wolf von Winhall (The Wolf of Winhall).

We've started a very small group (only 3 players) that plays parallel to our bigger campaigns to finally get to play some of the dozens of published adventures that sit on my shelves, most of which I've never managed to actually use. These are all set in Aventurien, the richly detailed word of Germany's biggest rpg "Das Schwarze Auge". This is the game I started my rpg career with and played for many years. It's great to be using it again, although we're not playing with their rules system, using FUDGE instead.

"Der Wolf von Winhall" is the first published big adventure by Thomas Römer, today's chief editor of DSA. It's classic werewolf story with a little twist, and although it is dated in places and I had to streamline a few things during play, the basic story is still sound and worked quite well. We had a lot of fun.

I love how easy it is to create opponents and combats on the fly with FUDGE. My prep time is basically nil and we still manage to create challenging fights and quite a bit of suspense.
