Quote from: Zachary The FirstEh, I didn't find it that bad. Like I said, I don't know that I'll ever play it, but I did enjoy reading through it
Spoiler
(though Balbinius' point regarding the end is valid--that bit was sort of a wank, though before that is a pretty good read, I thought, and I enjoyed reading about the Templar treasures)
.

I enjoyed reading most of it save that bit too, but I didn't really think it was a game, it felt to me more like a failed novel.

Quote from: SettembriniWow, Freemasonry must really change individuals, as Pundit would have never pimped such Swinery elsewise.

They're required to support each other, perhaps this falls under that somehow...

More than one person has said it doesn't fit neatly into the classification or the feel of a game. And now I suppose one more has, as well.

I'm unclear on something. Is this thing an actual roleplaying game, complete in itself, or is it just an adventure? Or is this a roleplaying game like "The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen by Baron Munchausen" by Hogshead was a roleplaying game, which is to say, it isn't really?

I liked reading EABM, but I would never play it.

I mostly posted the link because the game is allegedly about the Templars, and in honour of this day, John Wick is having that one-day special. In general, I don't like anything Wick has ever made as far as RPGs are concerned.

I find it strange that the game is about what you say, balbinus... does it have anything at all to do with the templars at all??

Quote from: BalbinusAbsolutely, have I made other references to them though?

I know you've dropped de Molay references a couple of times and I know that you've run a game on the Albigensian Crusade and know quite a bit about the period. In my experience, it's difficult to sustain an interest in the Albigensian Crusade without it creeping towards other acts of political expediency masquerading as religious fervour

You play the Templars, you just don't play them within a historical framework in the way I hoped when I bought it.

What I wanted was being the last of the Templars, fighting to preserve our wisdom in the face of extinction, sadly that is not what I got.

Note, I'm not saying the Templars were wise, who the fuck knows now? But that was what I thought the game would be about.

Well anyways, the special offer is over already. I'm closing the thread.
