Fiasco- Hard Time Blues
by Samuel B. 		Publisher: completelyrandom publishing
Date Added: 05/15/2013 08:25:24
Fiasco- Hard Time Blues So many great (and poor) films revolve around jail breaks that I thought this would be the perfect scenario for my group to play with Fiasco! And while it did go down well and we enjoyed ourselves I think it could be better. There seems to me to be too many items in the set up lists that try to hard to be funny. Like the "plastic toy soldier" or the "corridor to nothing". Some much more serious and prison-related items would have served much better I feel, but would have provided an equally hilarious Fiasco. After all, it's not so much the items that make Fiasco fun, it's the trouble the players get into trying to get them, or the people that get in their way as they do things. I give this a solid 3 out 5 score - it's good, but can improve a fair amount. Sam / Bifford...

Hideous Creatures: Deep Ones

Hideous Creatures: Deep Ones Originally posted at: http://diehardgamefan.com/2013/05/15/tabletop-review-hideous-
-creatures-deep-ones-trail-of-cthulhu/ I’m not really a big Trail of Cthulhu fan, preferring Call, Age, Shadows, Realms, CthulhuTech, and even the late lamented Chill over it. Still, sometimes Pelgrane puts out a piece for it that intrigues me enough to pick it up. In this case, it was Ken Hite’s Hideous Creatures: Deep Ones, a way to spice up everyone’s favorite fish people and keep Keepers from rehashing the same old plot. If you’ve read my Call of Cthulhu reviews, you’ve no doubt noticed my annoyance with many a collection that uses Deep Ones in an adventure only to have the story be a retread of The Shadow Over Innsmouth or “Oh no! Character X is actually a Deep One hybrid!” Perhaps the worst of these was Arkham Case Files: Deep Morgue which shows how badly Deep Ones are used these days. So I was quite curious to see Ken’s ideas and if they had universal application. Well this piece is a mixed o...

The Sinking: The Tribunal Edicts
by Megan R. [Featured Reviewer] 		Publisher: 0one Games
Date Added: 05/15/2013 05:27:12
The Sinking: The Tribunal Edicts In a delightful romp through political intrigue, this adventure proves that politics, Great City style, are not in the least bit boring! An ancient but lapsed custom of calling an open meeting called a tribunal to solve major issues facing the City has been revived to discuss the Sink - as 'experts' the characters (assuming that they have played through at least some of the earlier adventures in the series) are called as witnesses. Of course, there's much more to it than that, and a heady mix of celebration, assassination and a good chase will keep the characters occupied in ways more fitting to an adventurer that participating in a political talking shop... yet for those who relish a good intrigue or debate, there is plenty of that too, clearly set out with the appropriate mechanics to abstract the process yet enable the characters to have an influence on the outcome if they so wish. Old acquaintences and new are woven deftly into events, which will increase the feeling of being...

Forsaken Colony: Basisbox

Forsaken Colony: Basisbox Sel­ten haben wir über ein Spiel so viel vorab berich­tet wie über das Sci­ence Fic­tion Spiel For­sa­ken Colony.

Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea
by Ronald W. 		Publisher: North Wind Adventures
Date Added: 05/14/2013 16:58:10
Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea North Wind Adventures has a real winner here.I can heartily agree with the writer of the game's foreward, Stuart Marshall, when he describes this game as Dungeons and Elder Things. AS&SH definitely captures the feel of the Weird Fantasy genre from beginning to end. The game system is based on D&D/AD&D and it also introduces some very cool additions to that design. The writing is clean and precise. Anyone that likes the 'Gygaxian' flavor of the AD&D books of old will really appreciate what the author has accomplished with this great game. I highly recommend the boxed edition of AS&SH as well as it will bring back memories of the days when you got a set of dice with your games. Seriously, you will not be disappointed. Old School fans unite! Buy this game today.............

Rogue Trader: The Navis Primer
by Christopher H. [Featured Reviewer] 		Publisher: Fantasy Flight Games
Date Added: 05/14/2013 16:26:48
Rogue Trader: The Navis Primer Another excellent addition to Rogue Trader, detailing the mysterious lives of the Navigators, their noble houses, and how their kind is critical for space travel. We also get a detailed look at other psykers, such as Astropaths and their Choirs, and Weirdboyz. The intricacies of space travel are detailed, with various tables that can help determine - or mess up - a warp jump. Such is space travel in Rogue Trader. Of course Warp travel is not an exact science, and we are given insight into the omens and rituals captains and their crew entertain. We even get a cool map that shows how the Warp space tides flow and swell. We also get a look at the renegade tech priests - the Acolytes of Abraxas, and other advanced careers. As always the art work is excellent. The Navis Primer is an excellent addition if you want to give your space adventuring more depth, and your Navigator players more to chew on....

Deep Blues: Nautilus
by Megan R. [Featured Reviewer] 		Publisher: 0one Games
Date Added: 05/14/2013 10:56:21
Deep Blues: Nautilus In this 'Blueprint' 0one Games's interpretation of the Nautilus, first described by Jules Verne and immortalised in several movies, is presented. Suitable for any steampunk or industrial fantasy game, it's a fine vessel with two main decks and a 'cockpit' deck and a delightful shape - as shown in the side elevation - that is subtly fish-like but complete with a nautilus shell of steel plates clapped on the side! The cockpit is roomy, with a control room and cabins for senior officers. The main deck is where most of the crew live and work, the captain's quarters and guest rooms are here as well as workshops, a chart room and the like. The lower deck is where the engines and fuel stores are to be found. The Chief Engineer lives here too, there's also a dining room and the torpedoes... There is plenty of scope for some underwater adventure here, whether you choose to give the submarine to the party or to the bad guys they are trying to defeat. The normal technological artistry is sh...

Deep Blues: Airship
by Megan R. [Featured Reviewer] 		Publisher: 0one Games
Date Added: 05/14/2013 09:44:42
Deep Blues: Airship If you have ever thought that an airship would be a neat place to stage part of an adventure, now's your chance. This product contains a selection of plans based around a 800ft monster airship, the sort that boded fair to become the transportation of the future in the 1920s... then the Hindenburg burned to a cinder and people switched to aircraft instead. This one, however, can fly on in your imagination and your games. The plans start with an overview of the entire airship: side view, section, front and rear views. There are struts to enable access to the main body of the airship, primarily intended for inspections of the giant gasbags that provide the airship's lift. These can be seen in the side section view. Passengers never see these in the normal course of events but they can make for exciting chases and combats where it is vital to avoid even a single spark! Then there is more detail on the gondola, where passengers and crew travel. Equipped for 20 people - presumably both...

Flesh & Blood - BBFRPG Accessory
by Brian J. 		Publisher: DwD Studios
Date Added: 05/14/2013 09:19:12
Flesh & Blood - BBFRPG Accessory An Excellent supplement to the BareBones Fantasy rules! The original BBF rules has only the 4 basic races for the players to play as characters. With this supplement they give you 27 races to play (this includes the original 4). You get a page of description, preferences, attitudes towards other races and game master tips for each race. This is followed by a page with a nice picture of the race and a quick list of racial bonus. I highly recommend this for all BBF players and GMs, as well as to any fantasy RPG gamer as a guide to how simple you can layout a game supplement. DwD Studios continue to impress me on how simple a gaming system, supplement or adventure can be created....

ICONS: Great Power
by andrew b. 		Publisher: Ad Infinitum Adventures
Date Added: 05/14/2013 08:52:16
ICONS: Great Power I love this newest addition to my library. I had been reluctant to commit to the Icons system after reading the book. It seemed nebulous on too many details. Once I wrapped my head around it, though. It proved to be a system very ideally suited to me. It is in essence a simplified rendition of Marvel Superheroes tier system with the Aspect mechanic of the Fate system. Oh, and using an easier to acquire d6-d6 mechanic which was always my favorite equivalent to the FUDGE dice. I still had problems with the system. The powers were too limited. Heck, they werent even listed alphabetically which really stunk. I didnt yet fully trust the range and movement systems. This book is like a patch filling in all the holes in the system. It makes Icons purr like a kitten. A lot of ideas I had been totting around from other systems, like a list of inter-related power listings from Alpha Chronicles, have been made redundant by this one book. Imagine how wonderful it is to just not have...

[PFRPG] Treasure Hoards - Volume 1 - Aberrations
by Megan R. [Featured Reviewer] 		Publisher: Ennead Games
Date Added: 05/14/2013 03:21:18
[PFRPG] Treasure Hoards - Volume 1 - Aberrations This product is a magnificent resource for any GM who has struggled when devising the lists of loot available to characters, all the more because it is so well organised and focussed on just the soon-to-be-robbed property of Aberrations. Further types of monster are promised for further releases in this series. Organised by average party level - a good way to ensure that the characters neither get too powerful too fast nor fail to be adequately rewarded for their efforts - suggestions are made for the different amounts of treasure available: incidental (less than standard), standard, double or triple. For each category you can then roll a d6 (or choose from the list) to find out precisely what is in that particular treasure: coins, gems and other items of value. Naturally, if you have a particular item you want to introduce to your game, you can either add it to what's there, or use it to replace an equivalent item in that cache if balance is particularly important for you. It sh...
