BEAN! The D2 RPG Second Edition
Verlag: Fabled Worlds
von Curt M. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 07/07/2011 15:49:55

I'm a huge Tunnels & Trolls fan, so the Bean system works for me, especially since I figured out it can be played with M&Ms! I like the new passages on custom builds and vehicle combat, but Bean still lacks the "pick a Monster Rating and go" aspect of classic T&T. I like the option of that kind of simplicity.because it allows for the details to come in the roleplaying, and for even the most schedule-challenged GMs to make of the weirdest creatures they can think of on the fly.

Jaws of the Six Serpents - sword and sorcery light
Verlag: Silver Branch Games
von Curt M. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 07/07/2011 15:14:21

I bought this PDF when it first came out, and it's one of the few that I like more every time I read through it. Of course I'm a classic Sword & Sorcery fan and a rules-lite game enthusiast. The PDQ system works well with the genre, as characters like Conan and the Grey Mouser are difficult to pin down into classes and levels, but one can easily assign qualities that reflect them. PDQ also allows for some shifting of narrative control. The best games I've played in have allowed this. The setting contains the genre staples.

Lightspeed
Verlag: Avalon Game Company
von Curt M. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 07/01/2011 23:03:43

The five stars is for the setting: a deliberate derivative of Wars and Trek with some classic '80s anime tropes thrown in.

I much prefer the instant fuzion system to the full version presented here, but it isn't so crunchy that it's unplayable. I'm looking forward to the open D6 version of Lightspeed.

Tales of Treachery
Verlag: Anaithnid Games
von Curt M. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 06/20/2011 15:16:13

This pdf is tough to evaluate. On the one had, it has VERY LOW production value: zero art and lots of white space. A lot of the text and indeed the concept of the game are taken directly from Sword Noir, a very high production value pdf. Tales of Treachery's mechanics are its saving grace. It has what amounts to a die pool system using fudge dice, which I can't say I've seen before. And to be fair, the author does do his own delving into the Sword & Sorcery genre, adding to the material lifted from Sword Noir. I'd be much more enthusiastic about Tales of Treachery had I paid $1.99 for it, but it is a version of fudge/ FATE that I'd like to actually play, which says something.

Omega and the Guardians [G-Core]
Verlag: Dilly Green Bean Games
von Curt M. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 06/20/2011 11:32:09

Omega and the Guardians is easily the best G-Core product since the Core book and probably should have followed it in the release schedule. We get a cohesive history of superhuman activity in the Guardian Universe 3 setting and detailed write-ups of the Guardians themselves. A few villains round out the 38 pages. The Guardian Universe is essentially an amalgamation of several comic book tropes, as played out in the author's house campaign over the last 20+ years. Jay Libby writes that this is the last GU3 product, but somehow I doubt it. Too many questions are left unanswered. What will the Brood do now that he controls the Earth's superhumans through his parasite? Can the few immune heroes unite to defeat the Godlike Omega and the Guardians? If you bought the Core pdf, you can't go wrong with this one for a buck fifty. One word of caution: this pdf is graphics heavy and huge. It crashed my generation one iPad, twice.

Orbit: New Careers & Skills expansion
Verlag: JSDiamond
von Curt M. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 06/16/2011 13:35:37

I really like the Orbit RPG. Granted, this pdf is not the full game and provides only career expansions. The full game is not available in pdf, but the hard copy can be purchased for $20, including domestic shipping, from the author's website. Think the ghost of Jack Kerouac writing a Gonzo sci-fi RPG in 1982 , and you'll have a pretty good idea of the "feel" of the Orbit setting. The system itself is percentile based and allows for some shifting of narrative control between GM and players.

Woodland Warriors Out West
Verlag: Beyond Belief Games
von Curt M. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 06/16/2011 12:00:28

Another great supplement for Woodland Warriors. This one offers simple rules for dealing with guns. The best aspect is the inclusion of prarrie dogs as a Kind... so cute. But again, we're told of Kind journeying across the sea with no guidelines for playing out such sea journeys.

Kommentar des Verlages:
Okay, okay, I give in...I will work on a WOODLAND WARRIORS ON THE HIGH SEAS version next. In fact, having pirates, will give you the option to play as Vermin, instead of Kind. Thanks very much for the kind words though.

Woodland Warriors Greyrock Isle Setting
Verlag: Beyond Belief Games
von Curt M. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 06/13/2011 23:29:40

This series of PDFs is great so far [see the various detailed reviews of Woodland Warriors], but this one did leave me with a couple of questions: if characters from the standard setting can journey to Greyrock Isle, how do they get there; if they use waterborne craft, what would these be; what dangers would they face at sea; which Kind would make the best pirates?

Michael T. Desing's Army Ants Resolute Referee's Guide
Verlag: Splintered Realms Publishing
von Curt M. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 06/11/2011 15:54:52

This short PDF gives readers a glimpse into ant psychology and culture. It also offers a few adventure hooks. Readers are left wanting more, stats for the grunts of the Wasp Empire for instance. It is a good PDF for 7 pages, much more intuitively organized than the "Core" PDF. The author's suggestion of going outside and viewing the ants' vast and dangerous world from the insects' perspective indicates the creativity behind Army Ants. I look forward to more expansions.

Resolute: The Splintered Realm
Verlag: Splintered Realms Publishing
von Curt M. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 06/03/2011 01:28:17

Resolute the Splintered Realm is leaps and bounds more complete than Resolute Army Ants. The game contains clear examples of play and explanations of the various aspects of the game. It even contains a few optional rules. What the game doesn't cover: maritime combat, Sword & Sorcery cultural tropes, mounted combat [at least I didn't see it], etc. In future expansions, I'd like to see sea-faring adventure rules, more creatures, more archetypes and more races with cultural variants, but it's a well- written 20 pages.

Hinzugefügt am: 06/03/2011 00:58:03

Army Ants:Resolute is an example of a cool idea unfinished. In the 7 pages of the e-reader version, I couldn't find an explanation of how Soaking damage works, of weapon types or of how many CPs are used in character creation and how many CPs Abilities cost.

Kommentar des Verlages:
Thanks for the review… to address your concerns: - Regarding soaking: this is covered under the Shell ability. “Your exoskeleton allows you to soak damage from enemy attacks. Add your shell rating to damage soak rolls.” As with all abilities, not purchasing it assumes a +0 rating; all creatures roll 2D+shell to soak all damage; with shell +0, you roll 2D straight up. - Under “Building Your Ant: You start as a private at level 1 with 10 CPs.” That is in the rules. - Page 2 has a listing of CP ability costs… it’s the chart at the bottom of the preview PDF. - You are correct that the rules don’t get into specific weapon types; however, the rules give you specific attributes of your weapon; you know what your bonus is to hit, what your bonus is to damage, and how far you can fire your weapon. For game purposes, whether you call it an AM-15 assault rifle or a P-3 auto pistol is a wash; you know you roll 2D+3 to hit and 2D+4 for damage, and a target up to 7 units away is in range. I’m sorry that you felt so negatively about the game, but all of your reasons were addressed in the rules. Thanks for taking the time to review it.

DEAD G-Core
Verlag: Dilly Green Bean Games
von Curt M. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 05/23/2011 18:24:47

G-Core Dead is a humorous genre add-on discussing the gaming physics of zombies, how to zombify your heroes and villains, the inclusion of zombies in a standard game and one fully illustrated character writeup, all in six pages for 75 cents. G-Core keeps getting better. As a game derived from TSR's Marvel Super Heroes, G-Core supplements are compatible with ICONS with a little fudging of the math and the edition of Aspects.

Lightspeed: Alien Contact

Hinzugefügt am: 03/23/2011 09:10:42

First of all, I'm slighty miffed that I bought this PDF at full price before seeing the half off discount on the Lightspeed yahoo group. If I had paid $3.50, this would be a four star review. I was pleased to see this product. Lightspeed was one of the first PDFs I bought on rpgnow around a deCade ago. I'm partial to the setting, and though Fuzion isn't ICONS or Savage Worlds, at least it"s not d20. This PDF is well-written, and a scifi game can never have too many aliens. My problem is that the alien writeups don't take advantage of the setting Christian Concle has developed in previous PDFs. There are no tie-ins to any of the Lightspeed setting plot points. Also, the layout lacks the signature Lightspeed style.

The Cosmic Paternity Suit
Verlag: Floating Vagabond
von Curt M. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 03/11/2011 13:27:35

$6.99 is a little more than I like to sink into a mediocrely scanned PDF, but considering that a low price for the printed book on eBay and other sites is around $20.00 before shipping, I went with it. This, like all Tales from the Floating Vagabond books, at the very least promises to be an entertaining read. There are better systems out there, even "comedy" ones, namely RISUS, but the setting and mods are great.
