I love the Cinematic UniSystem and this really brings a lot to it. I haven't had long enough to do a Magic Box check of everything, but it does a better job of handling spells and magic than I ever expected.

I must admit that I prefer the Cinematic UniSystem. However, I paid money for this before it went free and I don't regret it. I am still buying supplements and using WitchCraft in my Buffy and Angel games, I just chose not to convert the latter to WitchCraft. As I understand, it is now free and open (rights reserved).

I've loved Evil Dead since the 1980s. Even though I'm tepid on Army of Darkness (which is being kind), the RPG does a great job of capturing the freneticism and chaos on the film. It does not do a good job of capturing the gore, murder, and mayhem of the entire series, proper (AoD was just a satirical send-up of the other two, and the second was just a remake of the first).
Most of it's silly, over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek, and Fantasy. With the other Fantasy elements scattered through Buffy, Angel, et.al., I'd sell this as a Fantasy game moreso than Evil Dead, but it features several scenarios from different eras, and more than a handful of variations on the Deadites. UniSystem Cinematic (Angel/BtVS).

This is a great game system to run an urban fantasy style game. It actually has a robust system that is almost like a GURPS light that you could perhaps even use as a more general RPG system but the rules do assume a certain amount of supernatural goings on. This slight narrow focus and some 90's rule crunch (which I like but is probably not going to be popular with modern ttrpg players) keeps this from getting a perfect 5 stars from me. Still, a fantastic game that you should get.

This is exactly what it says it is: a beautifully made, easy to read -even enjoyable- and good to play TableTopRolePlayingGame to play in the world of the one and only Chosen One.
The system is easy to use, the pictures are helpful and nice, the texts and the quotes are great. This volumne alone is sufficient to run a game, but all the rules together offer an impressive house campaign.
For anyone who likes the tv show and RPGs this is a great game.
One could be happier still with a well organized table of content, but the index helps to overcome that single problem.
I am happy to have bought this.

WitchCraft is one of the best systems for running mystical games that not necessarily need to be philosophical- aka Mage the Ascention. The Unisystem is intuitive, after reading a bit you already grasp the essentials- this comes at the cost of inovation, which is small, close to nule. The Grimoire section of the book is comprehensive and complete, but I wish it was a bit more clear on some parts. Nonetheless, CJ Carella's is a must for anyone who thinks of playing a game that revolves around magic-using beings. You cannot ask for better than this, considering its free!
I really hope that somehow we get a second edition of WitchCraft with more innovative mechanics, I really like the book.

Dreams are an ancient theme in myth, often considered linked to magic. Thus, this is an welcome addition to my library.

The Rosicrucians are undisputably part of the modern mythology. They shouldbepartof every urban fantasygame,too!

That's an overlooked pearl of a game. The mechanics are great,working without "clutches" like Destiny points. The cards option is great for forum games. And playing a Bast is great fun!

More urban fantasy games should have supernatural martial artists!

One of my favourite RPGs so far. Both mechanics and game world are immersive and push the players to good role-playing, instead of power-munchkining.
I suggest the game to mid- to experienced players, since it is hard to e.g. flesh out a talking cat if it's the first time you are playing.
The only issue is that the power growth of the characters gets slower as experience accumulates, thus it is hard to set up a proper ending to a campaign.

I am a long-time Classic Unisystem fan. I've had this game for well over a decade now, and played it/ran i frequently. I cannot recommend Armageddon enough, it is a fantastic modern fantasy rpg that blends all sorts of thematic elements from urban intrigue, fantasy adventure, and warfare. The system does a fairly decent job of balancing the ability to play powerful god-like entities, angels, magicians and even plain old mundane folk, as each has a kind of strength and weakness. The setting is rich and detailed to the point of effecting how I look at other game settings.
I don't know how else I can say it, it's a fantastic game, and you should get it even if it's just as a reference book for setting design.
