The Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine RPG Halloween Special
Publisher: Jenna Katerin Moran
by Robert V. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 11/05/2014 22:24:35

Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine is one of the coolest games I've ever played. The Halloween Special continues the greatness. it has everything you need to play through a creepy Halloween story, where mists close around the edge of town and strange monsters live behind mirrors and the sun hangs dead in the sky. There are four player characters pre-written, (along adaptations for characters in other books, albeit not all of them are published yet) and the nature of Chuubo's makes it very easy to just pick up the character sheet and dive into telling a story. A bitter principle with bleeding hands and a dark past, an elf-eared child from the Halloween world who talks to a boy in mirrors, a bishounen dog—what more could you ask for? There are excerpted rules hand-outs and reminders specifically for the campaign's Fairy Tale genre, which minimize the need to flip through the very big corebook. It also has an HG chapter that immensely helps to streamline running the game. There's a loose narrative schedule for tracking the progress of each player's quests, advice and inspiration directed at the particular parts of the character's quests that directly ask for your input, and in-depth focus on responding to the XP Actions and Issues in the Fairy Tale genre.

The second reason this book is great is that it's a primer on structuring your own stories using the very, very flexible game system and setting that underscore all this. All of the material in the HG chapter lends itself very well either to being used as a prototype or blueprint for designing your campaign, or providing useful ways of thinking about setting up a narrative. Even if you never ran the Halloween campaign, I think this book is still well worth your time just on that alone.

The Broken-Winged Crane
Publisher: White Wolf
by Robert V. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 11/10/2010 13:01:40

The Broken-Winged Crane is a must-buy for anyone who has an Infernal character, an Infernal NPC, or who wants to know more about the Yozis. The book has a staggering amount of content fitted into its small pagecount, and the charms revealed hold things we've never seen before. From the Shintai battle-forms of the Yozis to the apotheosis of the Tiger and Phoenix, these are things that everyone will want to read and use in play. If you love Infernals, buy it. If you don't, get ready to.

Glories of the Most High: The Maidens of Destiny
Publisher: White Wolf

It's worth it for the Sidereal charm errata alone. And then you read through it and there's an amazing description of the Maidens, an explanation of the teleology that's been an implicit part of the setting since the beginning, awesome kung-fu tricks for Sidereals, and to top it all off, amazingly powerful and equally bizarre astrological charms. Woah.

Glories of the Most High: Luna

The sheer amount of description that's given to Luna is great, finally giving a good picture of the goddess. The setting detail for the Moon itself is both amazing and unexpected, and the Lunar Charms are just icing on the delicious silvery cake.
