I have this to show for it:

This was an interesting session. Getting lost is right.

Wish I didn't work during these, looks damn fun

EDIT: Well, visually the maps look nice, but where the hell were the guns?? Seems like such a strange way to mess up an otherwise nice map..

There was the odd bit of chat about that throughout the session. It did however make it all the more fascinating to fist the monsters to death, go at them with a chainsaw, or hope you don't run out of clips before resorting to the two former cases.

Only play it briefly late last night and was too tired to play :(

Bonus video:

That song...

I don't know whats weirder: the nyan cat song or the Spider Mastermind barking like a dog O_o

May need to pick a card or flip a coin for that one.
