Ours was a more humorous-oriented game. I played a barbarian that wore only a loincloth made from his own beard. As a weapon, he used the mummified corpse of his father as a giant club. Can't get more barbaric than that, eh? Ended up that good-ol' dad got brought back to unlife due a surge of necromantic energy, but he was still ok with being used as a weapon. Even if he did complain that I wasn't fighting very well.
I've been focusing on the White Russians as my drink of choice in honor of The Dude, who is quoted in Advanced Adventures #15: Stonesky Delve. Yeah, have fun finding that Easter egg. :)

Oh man, I'm so glad to hear you guys got a chance to play some Old School Hack - and even more excited to hear that you enjoyed it (of course you did, if Scott was running).
I does lend itself excellently to "goofy" style of playing, but I have perhaps-foolish hope that it could be played a bit more seriously as well.
If you have any further thoughts on mechanics or a full-on critique I would absolutely love to hear it.
Pretty jealous I'm missing out on the minicon. If I could have picked one non-GenCon gaming get-together to go to this year, this would've been it!

It was fun to play and I think its easily playable in a non-goofy style. I think one would just have to be careful with the awesome point use to keep the tone less over-the-top.
