Jesus, Mary and Joseph and all of his carpenter friends! Now that I have your attention let's get this review going. I have been gaming since the days of the red box, the OG red box, from 1983. Yeah, that long! I know what THAC0 means. Know what TSR was an acronym for? I do! That's how long I've been playing. I have to tell you this players guide is the best players guide I have ever read. It is better than the Odyssey of the Dragonlords players guide. It is far and away better than any pathfinder campaign player's guide I have read, which is about 5. This will be the only book you need for character creation. I'll say that again. This is the only book you need for character creation. Would you like to have immersive characters in you campaign? Just use this book. You do not need any other sub-class options. The subclasses presented in this players guide are complete, balanced, well thought out and powerful. Get this book. If you are a GM/DM get the Campaign book too. You will not regret it. Live out those Viking dreams. To the Longships!

Jesus, Mary and Joseph and all of his carpenter friends! Now that I have your attention let's get this review going. I have been gaming since the days of the red box, the OG red box, from 1983. Yeah, that long! I know what THAC0 means. Know what TSR was an acronym for? I do! That's how long I've been playing. I have to tell you this campaign book is by far, hands down, no contest the best campaign book I have ever read. It is certainly better than any recent published adventure campaigns by the company that shall not be named. It is clear, concise, helpful, the story flows easily and it leaves enough freedom for the players to choose how to proceed. Get this book. Get the players guide too. You will not regret it. Live out those Viking dreams. To the Longships!

A good quickstart guide for the 2e version of Star Trek Adventures.

The quickstart guide does a good job of introducing the game to new players and gives veteran players a taste of the changes to the system from 1e to 2e.

A must-play after the intro mission "A Quick Trip to France". Included is a great explanation for using and doing an EXTENDED TEST. Here is a link to an interview with the author about his module. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHWYKn1sQdE

Terrific supplement of ready made scenarios to jump-start a Star trek adventure. Equally compatable with both 1st and 2nd edition.

Hard sell since it's not free unlike Odyssey's and personally some of the options seem a little overtuned but as a player's guide? Solid.

Solid 3rd party adventure, needs less love than Odyssey does for the story

love this game. crunchy in all the right ways. i have a lot of games systems but they all miss the "something". This game fills that gap.

Love this! Great to see new rules for the big guys. Overall a great addition. Thank you

Very good figures, with good details and fantastic poses. Not to mention that I love both topics, myths and ancient Rome. Marvelous.

Ring Side Report- RPG review of Discworld RPG Kickstarter

[b]Product[/b]- Discworld RPG Kickstarter [b]System- [/b]Discworld RPG [b]Producer[/b]- Modiphius [b]Price[/b]- FREE here [url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/terry-pratchetts-discworld-rpg?ref=4ogp2x]https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/terry-pratchetts-discworld-rpg?ref=4ogp2x[/url] [b]TL; DR[/b]-Solid, narrative game. 99%

[b]Basics[/b]- Only the turtle knows what's coming next. A new edition of the Discworld RPG is coming! Let's look at the breakdown and see how its played.

[i]Base Mechanics and stats-[/i] There are no stats, but your character is a write up with a few sentences. When you want to do anything, you tell the GM what you want to do and explain why you're good at the action. The GM then tells you to roll any die from a d4 to a d12. Bigger dice means you are better at the action. The GM then rolls a d8. Whoever has a higher roll gets their desired result. Ties succeed, but a mix of results happen. Negative results cause conditions such as a wound, damage, or something else happening for the characters.

And that's it!

[b]Mechanics or Crunch[/b]- So, there are dice and things happen, but the mechanics are VERY light. This game uses a much more narrative system. It also relies on a LOT of trust between the GM and the players. If you enjoy that, it works. If you need the +1 from this and the +4 from that, you will absolutely HATE this system. I don’t mind it, but your experience will be determined by your personal preferences. 5/5

[b]Theme or Fluff[/b]- Do you like Terry Pratchett? That's honestly what will determine if this game's theme is good for you. This a lot more theater and a lot less crunch than most systems, so be aware of this. Again, if you need dark fantasy or more logic like Lord of the Rings, maybe give this a pass. I LOVE Pratchett, so I love the idea of this game. 5/5

[b]Execution[/b]- This is a near perfect demo for the game. You have a decent rundown of the game, fun worldbuilding, and a FULL four hour adventure with multiple premade characters. It reads fast and easily, but no hyperlinks! That is the lone issue with this book's construction. This is almost a copy of my last review, but it still holds true! 4.95/5

[b]Summary[/b]- This game is a litmus test for you and your gaming group. If you need the crunch, you will not like this game even if you like Pratchett. If you can't stand satirical fantasy regardless of the narrative gameplay, you will not like this. I am ok with both, depending on the group. The book reads like Pratchett and has the right flavor of the world. That honestly makes me profoundly happy. I don't think Pratchett lends itself well to DnD-style kill-goblin games. Discworld is more funny stories with a purpose. And for the price, go check this one out regardless. 99%

As the other reviewer stated, the game is amazing but the lack of bookmarks is a huge oversight. In a game where there is a lot of flipping pages back and forth, its such a hinderance to enjoy the game when you have to scroll back and forth searching for the information that you need to move the game forward. 5 stars but poor pdf implementation
