Aquelarre — Translated Introduction
by Luis G. C. G. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 02/07/2020 16:29:29

If you want to try a true "medieval fantastic" game that stands away from the rest, you should consider trying this one. The senior spanish RPG is one that will put you in the middle of the hard reality of the day to day of Spanish middle ages. This is to Pendragon what "Unforgiven" is to "The house on the prairie".

With a twist of magic and folk tales.

After a succesful Kickstarter that turned into a sad, bumy road, Nocturnal Games has done a great job translating the colorful, hugue 565 pages "Codex". The almost written from scrap 3rd edition of a game that has been running on tables since 1990 and has more than 40 titles in the different spanish editions.

I really hope you enjoy it.

PS: If you want to know more about the game or to be part of its growing fan-base, please meet us at "AQUELARRE RPG IN ENGLISH" community on MeWe

Path of Morality (Storypath Cards)
by David C. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 10/20/2019 16:54:46

Awesome gaming device! The cards allow the players some say in how the plot develops and gives players a greater feeling of control. This doesn't mean that the GM gives over control of the game to the PCs. The GM still gets final say on just how the cards influence the game, and can over-rule the players to maske the cards better fit the scenario.

The cards DO make the GM have to be better at "winging it". Sometimes players will play cards that will appear to be difficult to mesh together, but with a little creativity most of the cards can be combined together in ways that work - even if they are not quite was in which the players initially intended for them to work.

My only real complaint with the "Path of Morality" is that it is a very Black/White idea of Morality. It can be difficult, at times, to square with a character's motivations. Perhaps picking up that dropped coinpurse is actually a good thing, if the character is trying to afford medicine to save someone's life. What if overindulging in food is part of your religion? And so forth.

In short - I HIGHLY recommend the Storypath Cards for any and all GMs! They are well worth the money! But pay for the cards - it's too expensive to make your own.

NOTE: This deck is larger than any of the other decks, but it was also geared more towards the 1920's Capone, gumshoe era. This DOES NOT make it unusable for fantasy or sci-fi! All you have to do is just imagine what the equivilant is in your setting.

In short - I HIGHLY recommend the Storypath Cards for any and all GMs! They are well worth the money! But pay for the cards - it's too expensive to make your own.

Würm — Roleplaying in the Ice Age (Wurm)
by Trey M. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 04/08/2019 00:51:45

A well balanced and detailed look at role playing in the Pleistocene; its nicely illustrated and touches on most aspects of how to live right after the ice the magic system is complementery and looks well into shamanism and sorcery. Character roles are a bit sexist by modern standards- their are female witches and seductresses but not male equivilents. Then again, the cultural structures are patriarchal by defualt - par for the course. You can roll your own, of course, and it will still work well. There are no gonzo Atlantean colonists on the shore or long gone lizard / beetle civilizations below the ground, and thats fine. Theres a lot to see and do as is.

D6 Space
by Mark H. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 01/18/2019 16:55:53

An old stalwart of gaming, d6 Space is the generic descendant of WEG's Star Wars 2nd edition ruleset. I find its virtue and flaw system to be poorly worded, and much of the book to be confusingly laid out, but the core mechanics are and remain solid, with the Metaphysics single attribute taking the place of Star Wars' three "Force Skills" of Control, Sense, and Alter (though those remain, as skills beneath the attribute). It's not the best system out there, but its DNA underlies a lot of modern, skill-based, systems, either intentionally or coincidentally.

D6 Fantasy
by David D. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/10/2018 17:58:41

D6 does the basics admirably. It starts to fall down when you need 'extras' though. Powers (Magical or Psionic), Vehicles, and Giant Monsters are not the systems forte.

The other major flaw is the attributes are not very intuitive. 6 Attributes each with skills attached, but which skills are tied to which attribute often eems arbitrary. Once it's memorized it won't be a big issue, but it's a minor hurdle in learning the system.

That being said; D6 is solid. It lets you make a wide range of characters, and conduct basic scenes admirably. It's a very difficult system to 'break' or 'powergame'. Simple and to-the-point for the most part.

D6 Space Ships
by David D. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/10/2018 17:55:00

Just a tad bit too cluinky for my liking. But still a solid ruleset. It'll just require some system mastery to really make excellent use of it.

D6 Fantasy Creatures
by David D. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 08/10/2018 17:54:22

A few really interesting new takes on old school classic monsters here. And also a few monsters not often seen in a Bestiary. well worth an addition to any collection.
