Cowboy Bebop Roleplaying Game - Quickstart
by Laird
Publisher: Mana Project Studio
Date Added: 01/24/2024 15:33:34
pixel_trans.gif Cowboy Bebop Roleplaying Game - Quickstart If you are a diehard anime fan, and have never played standard D20 RPG's, and never experienced OD&D/OSR/OSE, and you are not over 50 years old, then, this complex movie action visual-themed rule-styled game is for you to figure out with new players excited to try a table top game for the first time ever. Possibly, this is a game for players who have experienced Murder Mystery parties and Dinner Theatre shows, and most likely with Larping experience from White Wolf, such as Vampire the Masquerade. Or an anime fan. I rated 3 stars because I am not a Larper fan and a game based upon the Cowboy Bebop setting, where your character is a Bounty Hunter (BH), is 3 stars minimum. Cool and Respect. Honestly, I stopped trying to figure out the rules, so I can not rate higher because I lost interest. The player who runs the game is called the Big Shot. (In other RPG's, this role is the Dungeon Master, game master, story teller, judge, etc.) If I could experience a play test I would figure...

KOBOLD Guide to Worldbuilding
by Jim L.
Publisher: Kobold Press
Date Added: 01/14/2024 09:32:19
pixel_trans.gif KOBOLD Guide to Worldbuilding When it comes to creating new things, ideas are a dime a dozen. Everyone has an opinion. Yet, it is easier said than done to create something that's logically coherent. Furthermore, the well of ideas tends to run dry too after a while. This is where the KOBOLD Guide to Worldbuilding comes in. While not exactly "meaty", it has plenty of advice covering a wide range of topics. Each topic takes up about 5 pages of information, but it's concise and to the point. If I had to nitpick though, it's that not all the topics are equally well-written, but that's to be expected from having so many contributors. Art in the book is also a little sparse. It would have benefited from having more accompanying visuals....

Ascendant

Publisher: Autarch

pixel_trans.gif Ascendant Ascendant is simply the best superhero game out there - while I also enjoy other games in the genre, this is the most well thought out and complete system of all, with a precise and scalable mechanic, which is still easy to pick up and play.

Rokugan: The Art of the Legend of the Five Rings
by Kaine
Publisher: Aconyte Books
Date Added: 12/11/2023 13:59:07
pixel_trans.gif Rokugan: The Art of the Legend of the Five Rings Incredibly disappointed in this as a digital product. The art chosen is nice but the image resolution doesn’t hold up, which is particularly problematic with the maps which are often unreadable. L5R’s art has always been its strong suit and that’s on display here, but the low res images make the digital version not worth a purchase. Go for the physical copy if you mean to buy it at all.

Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook
by Darya
Publisher: Greater Than Games, LLC
Date Added: 10/14/2023 14:31:52
pixel_trans.gif Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook A simple but colorful role-playing game based on a cooperative card game about superheroes. In general, it is probably aimed at beginners or people who just want to spend a relaxed evening. There is no deep background that needs to be studied here (the source game imitated typical superhero comics, only with its own heroes, so as not to spend money on licenses), characters are created relatively quickly, the rules are quite short and somewhat simplified compared to typical role-playing games.

Girl Genius 21: An Entertainment in Londinium

pixel_trans.gif Girl Genius 21: An Entertainment in Londinium I have never written a review for Girl Genius or Xenoplile even though I have all the books in print (yes, the hardbacks as well!). Less us be honest. (I didn't realize there were reviews available here.) I feel very derelict in my responsibilites. Since the very first issue I have been hooked on these books. I order them in digital and hardback as soon as they are available. They have always been entertaining and full of fun. The artwork is superb and the stormies well written. The entertainment/price ratio is 10/1, especially the digital versions. I read these on a Mac computer as well as an iPad Pro. If you have never read these, do yourself a favor and order the first volume in lack and whoite then after reding it, order the bundle, which includes the color volume one and 21 other volumes. You'll be happy you did. My only complaint is the volumes don't come often enough. The images downloaded have alway looked great on my MacPro with the 32 inch monitor...

Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook
by Paul M.
Publisher: Greater Than Games, LLC
Date Added: 09/25/2023 00:08:26
pixel_trans.gif Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook I kickstarted this RPG back in... what, 2019?... based purely on my love of the Sentinels of the Multiverse cooperative card game. I've only recently (like, in the last month) gotten around to testing it out after getting into the SotM "The Letters Page" podcast and man, lemme tell ya, if you are looking for something that really feels like you're playing out a superhero comic, look no further. It's essentially a much more fleshed out and mechanically sound evolution of the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying system, and while it can be a little bit daunting if you're not used to narrative-first roleplaying, it's been an absolute blast to make characters for and run. I heartily recommend picking it up if you're into supers RPGs at all, as character creation is largely setting-agnostic if you're not a Sentinels fanboy (but you should be, they deserve it)....

Hellboy: Korhonen Series, Part 1 - Cannister 7
by Eric G.
Publisher: Nightfall Games
Date Added: 09/01/2023 05:44:09
pixel_trans.gif Hellboy: Korhonen Series, Part 1 - Cannister 7 I am a fan of the Hellboy comic and of the d20 RPG that was inspired by it (and pulp action in general). And I was excited about the the fact that there are going to be published adventures written for it. But I was disappointed by what I bought. I find this product short and lack luster. I bought the PDF for $5 and found out that it is 12 pages...including the cover, the page with legal boilerplate, and one page with a brief introduction that explains that Cannister 7 is meant to be part of a series of adventuers. This adventure (or the outline of this adventure) is covered over the other 9 pages. In very broad strokes: The heroes are sent to collect a dangerous McGuffin in Berlin. And one or two groups intervene to try and steal the McGuffin from the heroes by force. Things Canister 7 does well:The layout & graphics are proffesionally done and have actual Hellboy art inside from the comics. Good and good. Though the mission is very simple, the authors think about the likely cho...

Hellboy: Korhonen Series, Part 2 - The Wet Werewolf
by Eric G.
Publisher: Nightfall Games
Date Added: 09/01/2023 05:43:07
pixel_trans.gif Hellboy: Korhonen Series, Part 2 - The Wet Werewolf Disapointing. I am a fan of the Hellboy comic. And I thought that Mantic Games did a good job with thier Hellboy RPG main book. So I had hopes for this product. But this line of adventures continues to underperform. I am not sure if I will purchase the third or other future parts. For the price of a $5 pdf you get 7 1/2 pages of adventure plus a title page and some legal boiler plate. Anyway you slice it, I do not consider this a great (or even a good) value. There are no encounter maps. Only one NPC (and not even the central one) gets a last name. Some obvious NPCs don't appear at all - for example the PCs are almost certainly going to investigate at a hospital and liason with local law enforcement. No names or characters given. The PCs are told to avoid the tabloids. No reporters or tabloids given. Which I guess explains why there is no complications for them actually geting involved. I guess the writers want to do a "sandbox" style adventure, but its hard to do on 7...

Mutants & Masterminds Atlas of Earth-Prime
by Jamie T.
Publisher: Green Ronin Publishing
Date Added: 08/31/2023 23:52:02
pixel_trans.gif Mutants & Masterminds Atlas of Earth-Prime This Atlas is possibly the best Superhero Genre supplement book I have seen in quite awhile. For years most superhero games like to do cities and smaller regions for background. ATLAS OF EARTH-PRIME brings back the world concept and does so in spades. They dispensed with including info on characters that have already appeared. In it's place is more of a background of how that area is changed due to a super presence and the other heroes in the area. It doesn't bog itself down with numbers and stats instead offering background on people places and things. Some characters do have stats, however here it is the heroes that fill in the gapes. I mean even Gotham is Batman's, but he isn't always around. Filling in this space is where this book shines for me. Now don't get me wrong there are plenty of heroes added, a prison and various other things stated out. But it feels like everything included is important. This gives their world a lot more heft. You walk away with more a of fi...

pixel_trans.gif Colin Undead In classic black and white, with splatters of red this book tells a tale of a dog who's undead. It gets gory quick, with quite the details, of bones, brains and teeth and spilled entrails. It was quite delightful a 5-minute read. You look for funny and frightful, this is what you need :)
