This is a well-written short OWB adventure that can be completed in one session. The detail and sound layout of Mr. Araki's home is good, and the combat will be tough even at heroic hit points, but can be survived easily if the unit searches for arms around the property. I highly enjoyed running it.

You have made me not only a satisfied customer, but an overjoyed customer. After running your game system and the Norway Ablaze missions, all of my players had positive marks for it, and one of the players told me that OWB was his new favorite RPG experience. His older brother even conveyed to me that I replaced his older brother as his favorite RPG referee, following Norway Ablaze. I was very flattered, and I had to give you the credit you deserve. Pardon me for spoiling the surprise, but for the purpose of specific constructive criticism, the history behind the Third Reich manufacturing munitions with glycerin extracted from cod oil and the dynamic finale at the fish oil plant both intrigued and excited all my players, and the action from start to finish was a wild ride. Your games rocks, and it allowed me to shine in the eyes of my players.

This is THE BEST Old School retroclone game system that I've ever played, hands down. The ruleset is graceful, the WWII timeline and information regarding Intelligence agencies and Special Operation units allow for simple immersion into the setting and era, and OWB is exciting and enjoyable to run and play. All of my game group members love this system, and I have yet to hear a negative comment about it.

This supplement periodical had elements and ideas I found informative, unusual, and interesting, including the new experience mechanic and the new character creation and advancement techniques.

P.S. The following is a shout-out to the publisher.

While some of the system's ideas may be interesting, the referee style and attitude towards players it encourages leaves VOLUMES to be desired. Inserting compulsory "player-f***ers" into the game simply because you can is incredibly perturbing.

A number of my reviews may have been copied. Nevertheless, they are my honest judgments regarding those adventures and the game system, and I am allowed to critique them as I paid for them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did not you (or Zak S.) say something in the manner of, "Even bad media is still media?"

I'll admit I was quite annoyed with the system, and perhaps the numerous negative reviews were impulsive, but I made my bed and I will sleep in it. If you have a low opinion of me from now on due to my decision, very well.

Pardon me for my drawn out last words.

I willfully agree to disagree with you, and anyone else who doesn't share my outlook on game theory, development, and execution.

In the typical LotFP fashion, the "winning" scenario is damn near impossible, the adventure contains numerous devices which screw player characters royally, and is grimdark to a fault, replacing wit and imagination with tragedy and cruel jokes. Your characters might as well just stay in the tavern, tea house, inn, or drug den. Better yet, tell your referee to lighten up or replace your referee, and stop pulling these tasteless, depressing pranks on you and the rest of the players.

I do not respect any book which uses the nonsensical, loaded words homophobic or homophobe as derogatory or derisive terms, as the sweeping majority of people so labeled have no irrational fear of queers.

This is absolutely tasteless nonsense. A cock-shaped alien and its pheromones are responsible for everything that's gone wrong in the adventure. The bear (now intelligent due to the alien's influence) who has eaten the missing children is encountered only RANDOMLY, unless the ref sees otherwise. If I could give zero stars, I would.

The book crashed with Abstruct, and burned with damn near every single monster that proceeded after it. It's just a digest book of grimdark, perversion, and referee delusion all in one and turned up to eleven. I'll stick with the Monster Manual.
