To say this is the wild west but in China it to barely scratch the surface. Significant effort has gone into embracing the setting rather than just appropriating it. Still to set up a game but after reading the rules and setting, I see a wide open space to play something original.

By the team of the beloved Star Wars D6 from defunct WEG and now retro-cloned with Space D6.

These guys know how to write fun and exciting scenarios for Star Wars, hmm, I mean Star System...

The story are exciting for the players, easy to understand and, most importantly, easy to run for the GMs.

I wish more adventures where written this way.

Please please please, tell us you will write rebelion stuff against a evil facistic empire in a galaxy not close at all...

Thank you so much to all the writers for being true to your long past passions in this world where they try to force us into despair as much as they can.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I bought the Softcover bundle at the beginning of January for 30 bucks and to this day never got the books.

If I get them I will change my review, until that time. I can't give more than 1 Stars. The book is good, but not worth this kind of hassle.

Great product. i dropped by a friends for a weeken, and pulled this put. A group of new playes was up and running in 15 minutes, and all had a great time. Fast paced, very engaginf. Everything pulp should be.

I am currently running a campaign of the greatest space-fantasy RPG of all time. And this books fits right in. It is an absolute delight. The look and feel of the book (advenure content and presentation) are just perfect. I can not see a single reason not to buy this book. As I am always looking fpr short adventures to present to my players I really do hope this does sell well so more will follow.

The adventures work best for some kind of free trader characters but with a little bit of thought I am sure they will work for some good forces fighting an evil force. I have not yet tried it though.

What an absolute delight. If you've a fan of classic d6 Space Fantasy adventures this will scratch an itch you may not have even known you had. Visually, it's like looking at a book you forgot you owned. I'm tempted to pull my Star Wars rulebooks off the shelf and give this a try. I hope we get more books in the series.

Great work by a mix of writers presents a ship load of world building scenarios with all the back story you need as a games master. Good for experienced GMs and those just starting out. Clear turning points and structure to help you keep your gaming group asking when the next session will be.

An all star cast of authors from a long time ago have done a cracking job in bringing some new material life that is reminiscent of the instant adventures and classic adventures books from WEG. There's an adventure in there for everyone and if you liked the style and content of the aforementioned WEG books, then this is for you. The printed copy is really good and overall I think it's good value with a similar price point (inflation adjusted) and production value for WEG books from back in the day. The authors played a huge role in bringing my favourite universe and roleplaying game alive and I really hope this is the start of something and not just a one off. Thank you and I look forward to the next one.

It's not a bad map. It really isn't. But it's also not a good map. And it's also a frustrating and disappointing map.

This map was designed to support the Far West role-playing game that was kickstarted in 2011. As of this writing (in September of 2020), that RPG still has not been released (and Kickstarter backers haven't received an update in more than a year).

This map is difficult to read - the yellow background and the "fold lines" add character, but drastically decrease readability. It's also not even a little bit printer-friendly (and no printer-friendly option is available).

I won't say the setting is impossibly large, because the map's area looks to be about the same size as the continent of Asia is in the real world. Only without oceans creating boundaries. If I'm reading the scale correctly, "Thousand Mesas" alone is larger than the US, much less the "Wild West" that is half of the genre this game is going to theoretically attempt to replicate the feel of once it (eventually) exists.

And yes - the map says "Back East - to the Empire" along the Eastern edge of the map. Which implies that this is a small part of a much larger setting. So maybe it is impossibly huge.

There area few plot hooks scattered here-and-there "Yaebron wood may be purchase here," it says at one point near the far North edge of the map. "Said to be a Mountain Clan stronghold," says another spot just South. A lot of the names are also somewhat evocative - "Eldaire" is marked as "City of Blades," for example. But without context, a lot of the names are just so much gibberish. And many many towns don't even have names, just anecdotes. "Marvelous saloon here," for example. Or "Very recently founded" (which I find interesting, as there is a rail line to that last one).

The fact that this was designed for a specific genre-spanning game means it's not going to be useful as a "generic" map for any other game. Unless you're running a hybrid Wuxia-Western game, in which case you probably have enough imagination that you don't need to use someone else's map. Or can find another usable map online for free.

All in all? Save your money. If you like the RPG (should it ever be published), then maybe you'll find this map worthwhile. But, without a game to support, this is just a weird little map that does no-one any good.

As other reviewers have said, these are great cards, both in appearance and usefulness. I'll just add that I've only found one that doesn't work with SWADE, a card that allows the player to trade bennies for XP. Which is a testament to the excellent design work that went into these.

Adamant seems to be in hibernation, which is a real shame, especially since Triple Ace has gone to another ruleset. That means that those of us who love pulp and weirdness AND Savage Worlds don't have much other than aging Thrilling Tales stuff to rely upon. Thrilling Tales is great, don't get me wrong, but it desperately needs a SWADE update, better layout and more consistent art. I still give it Five Stars because it's the best thing going for those of us who still listen to The Shadow and I Love a Mystery in our cars. There is no better compendium for running a Weird Pulp SW campaign. But seriously Adamant folks, throw us a bone here, give us an updated Thrilling Tales.

It's not really a product. It's more a short list of things you might find in a sci-fi setting. However, it has a random plot generator table that is pretty cool, and, you can easily translate it into other settings and genres.

I wish I had more to say about this, but I don't and now it's gone.

Heart of Darkness is a campaign setting and playing aid for Dreamwalker: Roleplaying in the Land of Dreams and Dreamwalker: Diceless Roleplaying in the Land of Dreams. It has no stats, not crunch, it's just fluff, descriptions of the kingdom of malice. It can easily converted to be used in many other occult settings, like Mage, Unknown Armies, etc. and is short and to the point.

The idea that a new nuclear power would have a big enough stockpile to mount a nuclear exchange capable of devastating the entire world is something I'd probably balk at as a player. In a lot of ways it would be better to stick with Russia. But the idea of future versions of established campaign characters coming back to kill a PC to keep them from starting World War III has a lot of appeal. There are no battle maps. The artwork is kind of random with only some of the characters illustrated while other pictures appearing to be generic superhero/villain images. I found myself wondering "Is that Dryad? No, it's a man."
