A review from RPG.net get the fuck out of here. I am sure this is one of your favourite scenarios for Kult:PbtA.

Sorry I don't get your point. The guy seems to give a pretty good description of the game, enough for people to know how it works.

Anyway, here is another one from a different site

RPG.net was known as a review site before it was known for its forums, and both predate the current orthodoxy by more than a decade. The review side of the site has been in a long decline, and hasn't exactly picked up a ton of new reviewers promoting the the latest dogma; most are holdovers from the times before, and few have a significant presence on the forums. So the reviews have been largely insulated from the political hardening of the forums. You probably won't find cheerleading for Trump because someone might notice, but that really doesn't belong in a review anyway.

Quote from: CRKrueger;1112400Oh good, yet another classic RPG setting turned into a narrative shitshow.

Nah. Their implementation of the AWE is actually really good. Much more classic than narrative.

That was also my experience with it.

Is the censored edition of inferior quality in some way to the uncensored one? I've heard some images got worse and even some texts got ommited. Not that it's that important to me, just wanna know.

the only difference between the censored edition and the uncensored editions of Divinity Lost is the uncensored version has nipples on it.
that's it.
Uncensored may have been a kickstarter exclusive, but other than that. Nipples.  (they may have been bleeding I'd have to doublecheck)

I did not know there was a censored edition and uncensored editions, thanks for the information.


TweakBox word counter Tutuapp

Quote from: Armchair Gamer;1089659SAGA would be my answer to the topic question, but I'd worked out how to adapt it to use a standard poker deck's distribution within a year of DL5A's release.

I agree about SAGA, specifically the DL version. I was never into DL that much, but I liked the simplicity of SAGA and the fact that it fit inside a neat-sized box. (Similar to the old OD&D box, actually.) I haven't played in a while but at the time I bought some supplements and extra decks and they are all stored in the original box. Also neat that they provided a conversion from SAGA to AD&D (2E, I think) in one of the products, so I could use my old school stuff with the SAGA system when I wanted.

Atomic Highway does not get near enough love. simple to run/play it is way underrated

MegaTraveller is great and hugely underrated. It had one of the best task resolution systems I've ever seen and the setting was amazing (an entire universe spiraling into post-apocalyptic decay).

I'm just planning to run this.

Quote from: grodog;1089969Blue Planet -Biohazard Games

You guys know there is a new edition coming out, right? The quickstart has been released. I've taken a look, haven't played, on balance I don't particularly like the direction they're taking it, e.g. they seem to be bringing in player agency  through character traits.

I'll also chuck in Maelstrom. Default setting is Tudor England; the system is a sort of proto-WFRP (written before WFRP came out). I remember picking up the paperback when I was, er, about the same age as the author when he wrote it, 15 - although I am sure nobody would guess that from the maturity of the writing and research. There is a freeform magic system where the GM subjectively assigns a difficulty to the desired effect.

Arion Games have got the licence and have re-released the original book as well as adaptations for classic dungeon fantasy, Norman Conquest England, the Victorian period, and ancient Rome. Although I still prefer the original.

The same publisher has re-released Advanced Fighting Fantasy, a slightly expanded version of the system from the old gamebooks kicked off by the other Steve Jackson. It gets a lot of love as a rules-light option.

I've been trying, but not succeeding, in getting touch with Arion Games to see if they don't want to send me their Rome Maelstrom book for review.
