I bought it to get some more ideas about the After but what I got was invaluable.

Among additional ways of magic, talents and equipment you find many detailled descriptions of settlements and even more valuable you have a nearly complete list of NPCs which let you include even common people like a barkeep on the fly.

But unfortunately the equipment and the talents are kind of over the top. The rules section suffers from "The faster, harder, better"-syndrom meaning that the equipment and the talents are not balanced.

To my personal dislike there is also a talent which lets you learn other magics as well.

The Oruskans on the other hand are nicely detailled described although kobolds are difficult to play.

As with the core rulebook we have here a nice expansion of a very interesting second. The artwork is also nice although again kind of sexist.

But again the author struggled to make the rules easily comprehensible and clear, leaving too much room for interpretation (what sucks big time in such a complex system), we have usual errors like leaving out the XP-costs for raising devotions (the psychic powers), although it is mentioned in the text that it is possible and wanted... The worst part with the psychic powers - one of the core themes of Unhallowed Necropolis - is that according to setting description that the crazier you become the more powerful you become. Problem is that according to system you just buy new levels with XP.

To add insult to injury the author gave the psychic calling access to stunts which can make such a character easily next to immune to mental disorders.

So the further information are great but for me "system does matter" and this here is just broken. It wouldn't be that bad if the publisher showed any interest in their customers and had established customers support.

When I bought Unhallowed Metropolis I was impressed with thr setting. It is very well written and detailled. The artwork is also quite nice although it is prartially sexist.

So why did I rate this game with only 2 stars？ The reason is the horrible system. The base mechanic is simple but then you have to add various factors as well even more than in other more complex rpgs I wrote.

Add to this wrongly calculated advantages and disadvantages, the missing balance, unclear rulings and other errors in combination with a non-existing customer support (it is really not existing. Mails or posts on the publisher's message board are not answered by the author or any other employee).

So it is good material for conversions but that's it.
