The Skeletons
Verlag: Bully Pulpit Games
von James K. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 08/11/2021 10:04:45

This is a neat game, and I'm kind of in love with it. The use of silence to communicate the passage of time is brilliant, and I never would have thought it could be done well. I was proven wrong. Hats off to you, sir.

Visigoths vs Mall Goths
Verlag: Ghostly Rituals
von James K. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 08/11/2021 10:02:58

Probably one of the most interesting games I've ever stumbled upon. This game understands its niche (a niche unique to it, certainly) and it goes after it like a hungry lion for the jugular. I'm happy we live in a world where a game like this exists. More specifically, I'm made happier by knowing the world is capable of resulting in this game. I never thought I had a need to be a teenager in the mid 90s running around a shopping mall, but apparently I do. That's why we need uniquely posited table-top RPG settings, to explore things we never thought possible. I never thought Visigoths vs Mall Goths would be possible, but I'm glad it exists.

Malandros
Verlag: Porcupine Publishing
von James K. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 06/12/2021 09:31:23

To my personal tastes this is the most singularly interesting game to occupy the intersection between RPG and storygame. I'm in love with the setting, and the way the mechanics bring out the setting. Malandros is a jewel in my collection.

Retrostar Rulebook
Verlag: Spectrum Games
von James K. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 12/09/2020 15:55:13

It's got a great premise, well laid out, and they clearly laboured over it...but I think there's a huge conflict here between rules density (as in, how seriously I have to know the rules to get the system up and running) and player investment (as in, how much they're going to care to play it given how seriously the setting asks to be taken.)

Fun zany 70s sci-fi is something I convince my table to do once, maybe twice. It's a bit of a joke, a bit of a celebration of genre content. I can't see them taking it seriously enough to want to do more. But, the rules are just too extensive (in interesting ways) for that kind of play pay-off, which is a shame.

Wired Neon Cities - Minimalist Cyberpunk Roleplaying
Verlag: Trollish Delver Games
von James K. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 12/09/2020 15:43:30

There's just not enough here. You can be rules light, sure, but there's no real setting here either. If you're going to be rules light, they should be innovative. If you're going to be setting light, it should be evocative. This is neither.

I'm a pretty big 80s junkie and I was looking forward to a bit of post-cyberpunk retro-futurism in a rules light package with enough actionable content to make my own lore around the framework. It failed to inspire on every level. It didn't make it to the table.

Maybe someone else will appreciate it more than I would? The only good quality I can find is that it's short, so you can see the whole thing top-down and decide if it's for you without a lot of investment.

Star Dogs - Referee's Handbook
Verlag: Gorgzu Games
von James K. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 12/09/2020 15:26:14

Inspiring cover. But the content is a near-settingless collection of random tables. Also, it turns out it's just D&D. That's too bad.

Star Dogs - Player's Handbook
Verlag: Gorgzu Games

Hinzugefügt am: 12/09/2020 15:23:16

It's just a D&D OSR of B/X but with 5e's Advantage/Disadvantage rule...in spaaaaace! I am disappointed. I was hoping for something original as the cover art suggested.

Fists and .45s!
Verlag: Paper Dragon Productions
von James K. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 12/16/2018 13:54:52

The pros and cons of this game represent a wide gulf.

Pros: The best reference document I've ever seen for running a pulp-era game. It includes charts on average income and expenses at the time, detailed lists of interesting items you'll want to include in your game, and an exciting list of events on a year-by-year basis, any of which could make a good hook. I will never again run a pulp-era game without referring to this book.

Cons: The rules are not usable. Mostly, they're unremarkable. There is nothing innovative here, but also it's not familiar enough to be easy to learn.

Mechanically, it's a long list of skills; sometimes there are modifiers; throw in some orphan rules; hit a target number with your dice. Someone has clearly spent a lot of time playing this, and added a million little fiddley exceptions and perfectly balanced twenty different kinds of historically accurate machine guns...but didn't properly answer the question: "Why do we need so many machine guns?"

If the idea of 20 different pulp-era machine guns really gets you excited, this game is for you. For me, it's an excellent setting book, and not a usable system.

The Fighting Game
Verlag: Inner Power
von James K. [Verifizierter Käufer]
Hinzugefügt am: 12/16/2018 13:32:42

It's fine. "The Fighting Game" is what it says on the tin. But...it's only what that; a brief structure for one-on-one combat between two fighters.

There's no way to use this system as a roleplaying game, no direction on what fighters should do when they're not fighting, no motivation, reasoning, or feeling.

The mechanics themselves are fine, and could form the basis of a larger system. This system could be very "hackable" in that way. If you want to get together with a friend and beat the stuffing out of each other (as represented by dice) this game will do it.
