Scion: The Woikos
by Matthew R. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 09/28/2023 18:58:50

An excellent foray into speculative pantheons, this supplement (re?)constructs a Paleolithic pantheon for use in Scion 2e. It brings together the admittedly scant archeological evidence and extrapolates from there. The supplement also uses archeolinguistic evidence from post-Paleolithic times for some deities, most notably the PIE-bear goddess.

Aside from the sourcing of the matter, this product also gives off the "vibes" of beyond-ancient gods adapting to a modern world very well. Though I haven’t had the chance to playtest the mechanics, nothing stands out to me as wrong, either.

All in all, Scion: The Woikos makes a good addition to tables looking for something a little less orthodox in their versions of the World, and I highly commend it for that.

Beast: The Primordial
by Timothy W. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 09/20/2023 17:44:42

There is a lot of whining about how this game is for abusers and bullies but I don't see the same outrage for the other game lines. You're playing monsters. Have fun with it and play into the humanity side as well. Never forget this is a game and not real life

W20 White Howlers Tribebook
by Joseph B. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 09/13/2023 15:02:46

A perfect capstone to a Werewolf the Apocalypse collection. I've always been captivated by the story of the White Howlers and their loss. This book was awesome for learning of this ancient tribe.

Beyond Electric Dreams
by Brian A. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 09/03/2023 17:08:24

I would give it 5 stars, but I think there is so much promise here that I think can be expanded on in further supplements. For example, anima culture... will a Quantum axis come out for Novies, perhaps when revelations about Eden come out?

Do not consider the star reduction a slight against it, but more because there's so much good here that I hope it inspires the writer to do more!

I feel anima culture is great, but the other sections aren't lacking either, just they didn't catch my fancy the way the first did. All in all, well worth the cost.

SPEAR Contract
by Matthew R. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/25/2023 12:35:56

The concept is excellent, but the brevity of the product and the numerous grammatical and spelling errors make it not, in my opinion, worth getting. That said, were a revised and expanded version of this to come out, I would likely buy it.

Exalted: Essence
by Rodell F. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/21/2023 20:35:20

I like to joking call Exalted Essence "Exalted: Playable Edition". To be clear I am not much of a fan of rules lite games and Exalted Essence isn't exactly rules lite. If you are coming to this expecting something along the lines of PbtA or Fate you are setting yourself up for disapointment although it does have elements of that. Rather I am opposed to needless complexity and 3e is the greatest victim of needless complexity I've ever seen in an rpg system. I briefly played in a 3e campaign earlier this year after swearing it off for Essence ( had an advanced kickstarter copy). I had forgotten how much tedious bookkeeping was involved. It took hours for me to create a character, I often forgot what character options I had and everytime I looked at my character sheet trying to find something I got a headache.

A lot of 3e fans were afraid that Essence would replace 3e as the default edition. Alas that has not come to pass but honestly it should have. I hope future editions use Essence as a springboard instead of the hot mess that is 3e.

Essence streamlines a few things too much. Namely attributes which they have made all but redundant. They needed to be reduced from nine but not down to three and really you only have one since players are actually encouraged to narratively justify always rolling their highest stat. They also replaced the awful initiative system with power which somehow manages to be far better but still very bad. It works fine for non-combat focused characters and allows them to be relevant rather than a total liability in combat but for characters that do focus on combat basically attacking, unless you are making a decisive attack, doesn't actually effect your target AT ALL. You are basically just generating power by targeting their defense stat. It's hard to explain until you get in the weeds of the system but it doesn't work and I wish they had just yeeted it.

M20 Victorian Age Mage
by Balazs C. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/15/2023 18:55:44

I quite enjoyed this romp through alternative Victorian history. Does it have a liberal flavour? Definitely. But, that does not make the situations and individuals cited any less factual. If anything, this book made me delve more deeply into The Victorian Era and want to learn more about British Imperialism. I have discovered many interesting things about those times from this and other actual historical sources that were not covered in school.

Mage: The Ascension 20th Anniversary Edition Quickstart
by Balazs C. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/15/2023 18:01:05

The M20 basic mechanics are concisely and usefully presented. The sample characters and story glorify homelessness. If your fantasy is scrounging for food and not showering, have at it! But, it doesn't sound all that enlightened ...

Crucible of Legend
by Michael T. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/14/2023 11:59:52

I have a mixed bag review for this one. Let's start in the section where all 10 of the Exalt types are listed. SOME exalts get quick character stat blocks and SOME don't. It feels like this is Onyx Path saying "We've got QCs for this type of exalt in another supplement, go buy THAT one to get that content." When some reports were stating that all 10 exalt types were going to be getting the QC treatment in this book, I'm left feeling a bit short-changed. The QCs we DID get though are great! Next are the expanded naval combat rules. Now, I'll be frank and say that I haven't yet experienced naval combat myself in 3e either as a player or as a storyteller. However, it's clear in the Core book, that naval combat as written isn't intended to blend very well with standard combat. In fact, I've come upon folks stating that the clunkiness of naval combat can make standard combat look quick and simple by comparison. So I was hoping to see an alternate ruleset for naval combat similar to how we get an alternate Crafts ruleset. Instead, we get add-on rules for the clurrent clunky naval system in hopes to make it less clucky. The jury is still out on that one. The alternate Crafts system does look promising though. I do like the alternate character creation/advancement options. I'm hoping these show the potential I think I'm seeing to bring in new players into existing campaigns and still let them feel meaningful and powerful as they advance to catch up to the other characters (in XP if not in power level). I also appreciate the recommended difficulty levels for higher powered characters. As a storyteller, I've always found it challenging to set appropriate difficulties for my players. I'm either setting difficulties too high and my PCs get overwhelmed and nearly die way too easily, or I set it too low and they plow through what I was planning on being a challenging encounter with absolute ease. Mostly a failure on my part, but I guess I never realized I could, or even should, set difficulties as high as 15 in some instances. Final thoughts, some of the content feels more thought out than other stuff. The well-thought out stuff is great. The other stuff is, meh. Exalted shouldn't feel "meh".
