Interesting mechanics and monsters a plenty. Layout yoinked from Veins of the Earth, but that's kind of a good thing. Gotta knock one star for not including any bookmarks to the PDF, since it's one of the format's winning features over print.

I absolutly adore this book. The art draws me in and the dark nature of the subject mater just makes it better. If you want to take your game out of the dungeon and into the deep wyrd woods this is one of my favorite all time books on the topic. If you take this and "They Cried Monster" you have a ready made witcher style campaign.

What if World War I had monsters and miracles? That's the basic rub of this RPG which uses dice and card mechanics with very deadly combat.

<b> MY GRADE: B plus. </b>

So, just Narrated my first game tonight, and I have to say, I was excited going into the game, but it ended up being a SMASH HIT with my group, and now they want me to run another game.

I ran the two of them (with myself playing a supporting rifleman) through the "Corpse Factory" and they managed to avoid almost every encounter possible (through a high level of dumb luck).

They spent the entire session at the edges of their seats wondering what would happen next, and were walking on eggshells in fear of encountering a sudden, gory demise.

The system is easy to pick up and play, with the journey cards giving a fun little roleplay start to the mission,setting the tone and giving the characters hard choices to make (such as upgrading now, or saving your cards that may save your life later).

Strongly recommend.

Un jeu sympa et très complet, avec un background vraiment fun, mais dont le système de jeu semble un peu lourd à mettre en place. (A nice and rich game, with very funny background, but with not easy to use rules)

Wet Ink Games captures the horrors of war (and worse) while being respectful of both real world vets and protecting the feelings of players playing the game. I will be do a more in depth playtest review at EN World, but my initial read through convinced me I have to run this game. Players will take on the roles of soldiers slowly giving up their past memories and bits of their humanity to survive an inhuman war. But things are even worse, as otherworldly monsters bring even more insanity and killing to the battlefield. PCs will have some personal control of events through a clever dice pool while working at a unit level using playing cards to complete missions, help with tasks, and if they survive improve their own abilities. The intro sums it up for me: Never Going Home is a party-focused role-playing game set in horror haunted trenches during the First World War. If that sounds good to you, get ready to deploy.

This is something that really calls to me, I've had simialr ideas but needed inspiration to get off the ground. I love the dark, eldritch, and Brothers Grimm like themes I get from this book. I'm keen to see more and I can't understate how much I am in love with the dark descriptions, manic reavers, and the sinister wild elves.
