My friend James Mishler ran some articles on his blog about Richard Snider's Powers & Perils last year that I completely missed.

This interview with Winchell Chung, one of the games playtesters, gives interesting perspectives on the game and on Richard Snider, which ought to be of interest to this group: http://adventuresingaming2.blogspot.no/ ... -with.html

FWIW, Wenchell from "The Coward's Blade" is named after him. :) Not completely random, that one, but you might remember that I like "Tower of the Dead", which is basically the constituting adventure for the entire P&P setting - so that's where this is coming from. (Though I don't remember if Vlad was in that module, really.)

P&P, probably terrible rules, but I've been working on some stuff based on the old Heroes Mag, lately, and it's pretty solid, for its time, and for really working on a small budget, compared to TSR. :)

Nice article. Richard and I were room mates from 1973 until I got married in 1976. We played P&P when I visited him in Baltimore in the late 80's and early 90's.

Cool,
I have Powers & Perils and Perilous Lands, but I have not been able to get into the rules.

Greg, do you know if you played the game as written or whether Snider had modified the game for his own home games?

Was there ever talk of a 2nd edition for P&P?
