_Comic_Winters_Teeth Erfreulicher als die Computerspiel-Umsetzung ist die neue Comic-Reihe. Winter’s Teeth wirkt den erfahrenen Vampire-Kenner*innen sofort vertraut durch seine Gothic-Punk-Optik. Der Zeichenstil von Devmalya Pramanik erinnert an die Werke von Timothy Bradstreet, die der World of Darkness ihre einzigartige Optik verliehen. Erzählt wird die Geschichte der Cecily Bain, die als untote Gesetzeshüterin tätig ist. Als sie das Recht erhält, eine neue Vampirin zu erschaffen, sieht sie sich mit der moralischen Entscheidung konfrontiert, ob sie ihre alzheimerkranke Schwester mit der Bürde des ewigen Lebens belegen soll oder nicht. Zu allem Überfluss nimmt sie eine rätselhafte junge Bluttrinkerin bei sich auf, die neu und scheinbar verloren durch die Stadt irrt. Damit gerät sie in ein undurchsichtiges Ränkespiel, und ein Dickicht aus Rätseln, Geheimnissen und G...

JBD: The Devil's Due #1
by Rudolf A.
Publisher: Griot Enterprises
Date Added: 10/26/2020 16:50:46
pixel_trans.gif JBD: The Devil's Due #1 Abut half of this book (around 14 pages) is actual story. Rest consists of ads, credits pages, dividers, multiple title pages and so on. I felt that the story did not flow smoothly. It was hard to follow, jumped around without rhyme or reason. There was little progression from cause to effect. Text and images did not always worked together, felt like those were concentrated more on setting a mood, than telling a story. I felt the story didn't take advantage of everything the comicbook have to offer as a visual medium. Furthermore I feel like hermetic choice of subject matter will not appeal to broader audience not intimately familiar with the broader cultural background. The black and white heavy ink-style art was decent enough. So that's a plus. Personally - not my cup of tea....

Cancertown: An Inconvenient Tooth
by Sean T.
Publisher: AAM Markosia

pixel_trans.gif Cancertown: An Inconvenient Tooth For a large part of this book, I had very little idea what was going on. That's not a criticism, it's all part of what makes this a creepy masterpiece. It's really well written - you hear the main character's London accent clearly in your head, not because of any awkward-looking attempt to write it phonectically; but just because the phrasing feels so authentic and natural. The art perfectly complements the surreal and eerie plot; somehow looking cartoonish and yet grimly bleak at the same time. One of the most enjoyable comics I've read in a while....

KOBOLD Guide to Worldbuilding
by Adrian M.
Publisher: Kobold Press
Date Added: 10/20/2020 06:54:12
pixel_trans.gif KOBOLD Guide to Worldbuilding Some fantastic articles in the book. I was really enjoying it when I got to an article about basing your world on real world cultures that just felt awful. The author argues that your audience wants a world based on European mythologies because that's what they know, and that you can make your setting more exotic by adding Asian tropes and stereotypes. Considering how I got this book to hopefully get some good advice on building a world based on a real-world non-european civilization, I found this advice very insulting and problematic. I checked the author of the article to avoid any other articles by him and found that literally 1/3 of the book was written by the same person. I had been enjoying the book up to that point (hence the 2 stars rather than 1) but that article really took all the excitement of the rest of the book away from me....

Girl Genius 01: The Beetleburg Clank (B&W Edition)
by Andrew B.
Publisher: Studio Foglio
Date Added: 09/29/2020 10:30:34
pixel_trans.gif Girl Genius 01: The Beetleburg Clank (B&W Edition) If you like steampunk or humor, look no further. This series is filled with great characters and explores an alternate world-Europe where a young girl finds that all she knew about herself is wrong. While I can appreciate the color versions, the series originated as B&W, and for the price is a great introduction for those unfamiliar with the series. Be warned: it is addictive, and you may be forced to laugh aloud.

Vampire: The Masquerade, Winter's Teeth #1
by Guido A.
Publisher: Vault Comics
Date Added: 09/17/2020 02:33:27
pixel_trans.gif Vampire: The Masquerade, Winter's Teeth #1 If you're a longtime fan of both Vampire the Masquerade and comic books, this is a must buy. Finally you can read a high quality comic book set in the VtM universe. -The tone is good, there is no shunning of the darker elements but also no puerile indulging on them. The personal drama is there, but in a measured way which is good in my book. -There is not much meat of the story in this first issue, due the decompression techniques of modern comic books. So it's hard to give an opinion on the main plot. -The two main protagonists aren't that great or original, but they work and they're cool enough and they avoid the usual tropes and stereotypes overused for female leads. So overall it's a good point for me. -There are a few very good strong sequences that can inspire your games if that's what you're looking for. Really liked them. Four stars instead of five because: -From this starting point it looks like the scope of the story will be rather limited....

Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files #29

pixel_trans.gif Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files #29 I'm a little tired of the Judge Death stuff, but I respect how the comic continues to reinvent things rather than telling the same story over and over. Another great collection of Dred strips!

pixel_trans.gif Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files #28 More excellent Dredd comics! The Complete Case Files are all excellent reads, and it really helps an American like me to get a better sense of how Dredd slowly evolved over time.

Ninja High School Textbook Volume 2
by Eddy W.
Publisher: Battlefield Press
Date Added: 09/01/2020 07:53:37
pixel_trans.gif Ninja High School Textbook Volume 2 The story turns a little more serious and interconnected here, but there are still some funny bits (including some thinly-veiled swipes at superhero comics). The art jars at one point -- I think a comic produced later was jammed into the ongoing storyline -- but still a good collection.

pixel_trans.gif Ninja High School Textbook Volume 1 Fun comic in the vein of Teenagers From Outer Space (or, more accurately, the reverse). With over 500 pages of comic, it's well worth the price!

Hellboy: The Roleplaying Game - Quickstart
by Bob V. G.
Publisher: Nightfall Games
Date Added: 08/23/2020 15:03:43
pixel_trans.gif Hellboy: The Roleplaying Game - Quickstart - For the past few days, I have soloed my way through Hellboy: The Roleplaying Game Quickstart. It is free at DriveThruRPG . The adventure, that is included, is for low level characters. It is designed for a Dungeon Master and several players. To solo it, I used a solo engine that I have been testing out. I did this adventure with five characters: the ones included with the adventure. - - As soon as the characters entered the haunted house (the inner hall), the psychic performed a séance. She was hoping to have a calm conversation with the ghost and put it to rest. Instead, all hell broke loose. Later, monsters were killed. The priest was kept busy with a prayer, a confession, and destroying twelve profane books. Mona, with the detective background, was taken down on the second floor landing. She was bleeding out and there was no time to save her because another monster came at the team. So, this adventure was very exciting and the team won. = = Game review. This quickstart is 44 page...

Crystal Heart
by Péter A.
Publisher: Up to Four Players
Date Added: 08/17/2020 03:03:44
pixel_trans.gif Crystal Heart This is my absolute favorite Savage Worlds setting - and I have read quite a few of them. The artwork is gorgeous, the setting itself is awesome, unique, but still familiar. The five lands all have different and diverse cultures, which I really like. The crystals themselves are awesome, and I think there are enough of them in the core book, but there are also guidelines for designing your own ones. The savage tales are also cool. I love that the book gives you several different explanations for the world's secrets. It also gives you a plot point campaign and more ideas for other ones. You also get ready-to-play character arhcetypes grouped by lands, and archetypes grouped by team roles. Can't wait to run it. :)...
