Marvel Heroic Roleplaying: Basic Game
Publisher: Margaret Weis Productions
by Luke M. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 02/27/2012 08:56:04

I am very impressed with this game. Layout wise it is gorgeous, and it looks perfect on my iPad 1 in both GoodReader and iBooks. Layout on the character sheet was excellent as well as we realized they were laid out to support the flow of play.

The content is excellent, but I will admit having to make a couple of passes through the book to fully grasp it. A full example of play would be nice. The system is innovative, and when played really supports the feel of a comic book.

Finally I want to point out the milestone XP system. This system is brilliant and is an design pattern I think a lot of the industry will start looking at.

The module in the book is short, fun, and has all the default marvel troupes (team up, super villains, redemption, etc).

Character creation makes sense when you realize it is more of an art than a science, and that it is up to the players, the Watcher, and yourself to not be the person at the time who wants to hog the spotlight and say you are good at everything. With that though a set of guidelines such as 'cosmic characters typically have..., street level characters typically have' would be nice. I for one do not want to see a point buy system for this.

Summary: Great game well worth the money. Ran it recently and my players are begging to play again. Pro: Innovative System, Easy to Play, Great Layout that works on iPad Cons: Book makes system feel dense. An example of play would have helped dramatically. Some sort of basic guidelines for power levels for character creation would help.

Slipstream
Publisher: Pinnacle Entertainment
by Luke M. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 08/26/2011 12:52:16

Return to the days when Sci-Fi meant rocket ships with fins, countless alien races, and an evil queen intent on conquering the universe.

Slipstream is a great return to the roots of pulp Sci-Fi serials such as Flash Gordan.

The settign includes many worlds, adventure starters, alien races, as well as a fully playable plot-point setting with many options for continuing beyond the included 'season 1'. As with most savage products, a copy of the savage worlds core rules is required.

I will give the author props for completeness and a clean layout. On the negative side; the system seemed overly complex.

Simply wow.

This is a heavily detailed pdf set with some amazing looking models.

This is the model set that has made me an addict of cardboard models for games.

12TM: Bloodlines--Savaged edition
Publisher: Pinnacle Entertainment
by Luke M. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 06/08/2004 00:00:00

Great adventure.

Very Cthlhu like but has nothing to do with the mythos. Looks wonderfull in savage, and looking forward to running.

One point. This is not a simple game. First it's highly scripted but if done right the PCs won't know they are being led by the nose. And two it's very complicated, lots of factors and behind the scene stuff.

Not for new GMs.

Intresting supplement. Some intresting ideas, but I don't think I would use it all that much.

Dreamwalker: Diceless Roleplaying in the Land of Dreams

Dreamwalker is the first supplment for Active Exploits I looked at. I was very impressed with the concept behind it, though I wish their was a little more discusion on mechanics and less on theme. Though this only slightly detracts from the supplment.

Creative and immagantive. A good source.

Savage Tales #1: Privateer's Bounty!
Publisher: Pinnacle Entertainment
by Luke M. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 01/19/2004 00:00:00

Pretty much anything from Pinacle is a great product. And this is no exception.

A wonderfull pirate adventure in what is basically a real world setting, but coming from pinacle there will be a twist, and a big one at that.

A great adventure for savage world, one I'm personally looking forward to running.

A great reprint of a deadlands title. What is really nice is that this is updated to the new version of the deadlands core rules, all stats and mechanics have been fixed. Making this an excellent buy.

An excellent system. Generic enough to handle all those great 80s cartoons, but not near as complicated as some generic systems out there.
