Great product inspired by story-telling systems like Fiasco. I love the settings provided and the mechanics do exactly what they set out to do. Not sure if it as simple to teach to new players as I would have liked, but can see that the payoff would be worth it absolutely.

Really useful when playing to be able to search and access rules using the iPhone or iPad. A great edition. Contains updates and corrections too.

This is the one you have been waiting for. Forget MERP, forget Decipher. This is it.

I bought this rpg last week and while I have not played it yet, I am already impressed. The rules are simple, but inspired. The tension mechanics and area fire rules mean the game can be played in a way that means the stress of jungle combat is central to the story rather than just being a 'shoot em' up'. I also love the way that characters earn 'stories' that can be used to help reduce stress. The suggested scenarios (using Doors songs as titles for the adventure!) are all interesting and focus on a dilemma that faces the characters rather than falling into the trap of just repeating itself. I only hope there is more to come. It would be cool to have more adventure seeds etc.
Now I just can't wait to play. I can also see that you could use the rules for other theatres of conflict too.
Excellent value...

I teach History at a school in New Zealand. A number of my students play Duty and Honour after class during the lunch hours and absolutely love it. The system is simple and elegant. The narrative freedom means everyone is a part of the game. The setting is exciting and cleverly emulated by the mechanics. One of the best collaborative military games you will buy. And Beat to Quarters is even better. My students hope that the developers will revisit the Duty and Honour extended skirmish section to make it as cool as the ship to ship battles in BtQ. But, what is already here is excellent.

We play this as a one off in between the Barbarians of Lemuria campaign we are involved in. It is simple and fun...really catching the vibe. Great for novices too.

I bought this on a whim and my kids love it. My oldest is 5 and can't get enough of it. His sister (just turned 3) loves listening to the story unfold and cheers the hero along. She also 'rolls' for the monsters. So simple. So much fun.

This game rocks...with a healthy sense of humour, but an obvious love of the genre, the people at Lord of the Pies have created a simple game that gives you the opportunity tocreate your own version of 'Some kind of Monster'. I found myself laughing as I read the rules and also reminiscing about the ol'days when rock stars could get away with wearing bike pants. The collaborative approach to creating a saga of Spinal Tap proportions is a seductive one. I know I will be wanting to play this game again and again...
