Pip System QuickStart
Publisher: Third Eye Games
by Zachery N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 08/08/2021 15:22:03

The quickstart gives you everything you need to run a scenario for the Pip System except for the dice. The rules   are easy to follow and laid out in way that I would fell comfortable teaching' players unfamiliar to the system. It includes a ready to run scenario with enough pregenerated characters for up to six players. This quick start keeps things simple allowing for the Game Guide and the players to add their own personal touches. I would recommend it to anyone interested in checking out new system.

Date Added: 07/29/2021 23:53:40

They Came From Plan 9! is a quick read which will give a Storyguide plenty of ideas to tie your game in with the movie. It present your game of They Came From... as a sequel to the infamous B movie and includes ready made character to play from it. You don't have to have seen the movie to enjoy this supplement, but as suggested within it, watching the movie with your players before hand will help get the most out of it.

Trails of Ash and Bone (Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition)
Publisher: Renegade Game Studios
by Zachery N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 06/20/2021 21:46:02

tl:dr - Whether you're a Storyteller looking to work elements from Cults of the Blood Gods into your chronicle, a new ST starting off, or just looking for a short story to run, I highly recommend this supplement.

Trails of Ash and Bone is a ready to run story book for Vampire: the Masquerade 5th Eidtion. As it is a supplement to the Cults of the Blood Gods Kickstarter, the theme of the stories center either around cults or the clan Hecata. There are four stories as well as new Loresheets, Oblivion Ceremonies, and Ready-Made Characters to introduce into your V5 game.

Intro Fiction - a brief glimpse into the unlife of Carmen Giovanni as told by one of their ghouls. A good read that sets the tone for things to come.

The stories - All of them are good for different reasons. Each explores different aspects and challenges vampires face. I want to run all of them. Old Wounds has some of the creepiest elements for V5 written to date.

Loresheets, Oblivion Ceremonies, and Ready-Made characters - For a wider audience the loresheets don't add much, they are fairly specific to either a location or clan. They fit well with this supplement but have situtuational use in an average VtM campaign. I was one of the Kickstarter backers who helped develop the Oblivion Ceremonies. If you don't care that I'm biased then they are awesome and provide great utility. I like the enclusion of the Ready-Made characters and I think every book like this with stories should have them. Motti is my favorite, no I'm not just saying that because my liscense plate say Gangrel.

Who should buy this supplement? People who like V5. Who shouldn't buy this book? People who don't like the idea of the Hecata merging through the family reunion or dealing with cults. I'm not sure why anyone who falls into those categories would take the time to read this far into the review, but if that is you thanks for reading this.

Goblins Grabbed My Dice!
Publisher: Matt Stormcrow
by Zachery N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/28/2021 19:33:31

This is a fun easy to play game to read. If I had to pick a favorite type of goblin I'd go with the Trash Goblin. The writing is witty and enjoyable and the art is perfect for this product. Easily worth the couple bucks I paid for it in entertainment value alone. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go find out who this Matthew Mercer person it keeps referencing is.

Scion: Zeus! We Just Wanna Talk!
Publisher: Onyx Path Publishing
by Zachery N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/27/2021 17:08:41

I read this Tasty Bit and I've never wanted to run Scion as much as I do right now. Thankfully for me at least, it doesn't require knowing a whole lot of mythology of the setting or the real world. It's versitle enough to run a game for new players to introduce them to Scion while having enough of a story to appeal to current players of Scion Origin, Heroes, or Demigod.

A Scurvy Band of Pirates
Publisher: Onyx Path Publishing
by Zachery N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/20/2021 21:55:49

This is a nice short adventure for your Pugmire game featuring a variety of ready made characters from the various Realms of Pugmire books.

The jumpstart itself is fairly straight forward and easy to run. If you are already running a game it can easily fit in as a fun side quest as a break in the story or as a jumping off point for you to build on.

The ready made characters come from each of the three published books in the Pugmire line and gives good vareity of characters to help bring the party to life for new players. For on going games, this gives you a nice pre-made pirate crew of NPCs for your party to encounter.

M20 Technocracy Reloaded
Publisher: Onyx Path Publishing
by Zachery N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 05/11/2021 19:32:24

I want to preface this by saying that I am not a Mage player. I've looked into the game a few times over the years and the it just never clicked with me. Until I read this book. I found myself connecting to the Technocracy more than I ever did with the Traditions. I think it's due, at least in part, toe spending the past 15 plus years working in Corporate America that made things a bit more relateable. Anyone who has had to sit through a performance review can account of how dreadful they can be and this book nails that feeling perfectly. The style of writing style throughout felt more relatable than over MtA books I've read (or attempted to read). There's a conversational tone throughout the book. You aren't reading a text, it's a conversation with the writer.

Deviant: The Renegades
Publisher: Onyx Path Publishing
by Zachery N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 01/29/2021 21:39:02

Deviant: The Renegades is my first experience with the Chronicles of Darkness line. For those unfamilar with the line, the game setting is very much a sand box and the line is new to CoD. I enjoyed the freedom it gave to make a character and working with my ST on the background than having a set lore from previous editions.

Deviants are characters who were once human, but through various means were turned into something else. They have powers, called variations, which can range from the mudane and unnoticeable to the horrific and brutal. Each variation comes with flaw, or scar, that is connected to it's use. The scars run the gamut from physical to mental to social and more. This gives the characters the ability to do almost anything, but at a cost them. You can do the thing, but is doing the thing worth the consequences?

I have had a lot of fun playing the game and would recommend it if you are looking for something new within the Chronicles of Darkness setting or just looking for something new to play in general.

Cults of the Blood Gods (Vampire: the Masquerade 5th Edition)
Publisher: Renegade Game Studios
by Zachery N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 01/12/2021 22:52:53

tl:dr Cults of the Blood Gods reintroduces the Clan of Death to V5, gives details on vampiric cults, provides new mechanics (loresheets, powers, predator types, etc), and gives a story featuring the Clan of Death to tell.

As a fan of Vampire: the Masquerade lore, Cults of the Blood Gods is easily one of my favorite V5 releases to date. This book opens with a well written fiction giving just a hint of how the Hecata came to be formed, with several smaller additional pieces after the introduction. Those first pieces gives a good taste for what is to come in the rest of the book.

I'll be honest, none of necromany based clans or bloodlines in prior editions ever really caught my eye, with the possible visual presentation of Baron Samedi. Other than using one as an SPC as a Storyteller, I hadn't been interested in playing one. Cults of the Blood Gods spurred my interest in playing a character of the recently formed Hecata clan. The merging into one clan creates many interesting roleplaying opportunites, whether it be between the different factions of the clan, the opportunity to play through what happened within the clan once the Family Reunion takes effect, or how they present themselves to outsiders under the Hecata banner. I like how Oblivion is presented and the steps taken to differentiate Oblivion Ceremonies from Blood Sorcery Rituals.

While vampric relgion has been addressed in other V5 books, none have done so in a way that has felt playable. Cults of the Blood Gods dives deeper into the subject with multiple cults, some new to Vampire:the Masquerade, some from previous editions that are presented in a way that they still feel new. For the first time in V5 the Bahari, Church of Set, and others feel playable with digging through multiple books from prior editions. In addition to cults for vampires, the book also provides cutls for mortals (that are run by vampires) and a section on how to create your own. Again, the topic of mortal cults have been covered in older editions of VtM however in this book the subject is covered in a way that gives more detail into how cults function. I don't plan on building my own cults, but this book gives you plenty of information on how to do so.

The book ends with Styx and Bones, which gives a story that can be run highlighting the clan of death. It is a decent enough story, I just personally would rather explore other aspects of lore and metaplot presented in this book. If someone asked me to run it as an ST I would, but it is not something I would run on my own.

In addition to the above, Cults of the Blood Gods sprinkles in new machanics in the way of Loresheets, Discipline Powers and Amalgams, Rituals and Ceremonies, Predator and Coterie types, and more. The art through out the book is amazing. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who plays V5.

A Musical Interlude: Victorian Age Jumpstart
Publisher: White Wolf
by Zachery N. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 12/06/2020 16:17:40

I got this as part of the Dark New England buddle the author had. This jumpstart works best if you have The Dark New England Regional Sourcebook to go with it, so if you are intersted in this, I recommend picking that up as well if you already haven't.

A Musical Interlude is a short jumpstart for playing Victorian Age Vampire. While it's characters are centered around the city of Boston, it is flexible enough that with some minor adjustments it could work anywhere. Other than the celebration being connected to the 250 birthday of the city of Boston, and history connected to the location, there isn't really anything that requires this to use the Victorian Age setting.

Date Added: 11/27/2020 19:09:33

Digging Up Trouble is a nice quick adventure for Pugmire. It is designed for beginning characters and is layed out so that new Guides will have an easy time running this story. The adventure is a great way to get parties who have based prior adventure in the city of Pugmire to Waterdog Port, and works especially well as a way to introduce Pirates of Pugmire to you Realms of Pugmire game.
