This module provides an incredible amount of value for no cost at all. Many products being sold in tabletop spaces are all style and no substance. That’s not the case with Brozer. The essays are thoughtful and challenge the reader to reevaluate conventional gaming practices. The module portion provides a gameable scenario and a number of well thought out factions to provide for players. The best thing about the scenario is that it requires little to no prep at all. Just distribute the factions, set the scenario in motion, and your players will handle the rest. Running Brozer, you may find that your players are kept up at night, pondering their next move. You may quickly realize you have no clue what is going on as conflicts and alliances form outside of your purview. All the module asks of the referee is to fairly adjudicate conflicts as they arise.

The scenario and factions are truly system neutral. They can be played just as well with the latest offerings from WOTC as TSR systems of yore and everything in-between (including your favorite retro clone). I took part in a Brozer game using the Amber Diceless system and it worked flawlessly. While the scenario presented in the module is roughly fantasy themed, I could easily see it being retooled to work with your favorite science fiction system (such as Traveler).

Brozer challenges conventional play practices, promotes conflict between players, and provides unforgettable gaming experiences that can’t be found anywhere else in the tabletop gaming sphere. It truly ushers in a new paradigm of gaming. Do yourself a favor and just jump right in. Join the hundreds of other players and referees who are going boldly where no other table has gone before.
